“A relaxing beachfront stay with amazing staff, great hospitality, and a wonderful atmosphere.”
The location is excellent, right on the beach, with cozy and comfortable rooms. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Rashid at reception, who took great care of us and helped with everything we needed. The restaurant and breakfast staff were also wonderful and always welcoming. The breakfast was generous, tasty, and a great way to start the day.

“Would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful place and just far enough from all the busy crowds.”
Semi secluded and very cosy feel. Food was great and so are the team thats there. If you don't want the mainstream operations and want a bit of peace this is it!

Honestly i have nothing to complain about the hotel itself. Just next door you have amazing Restaurants to die for. The only issue is that the beach is dirty and full of algies every day. Once you open the door you can only smell rotten algies on the beach. I understand that the beach is public But honestly someone should take care of it.

Best food I had in Zanzibar! It's worth the wait. The staff was simply amazing (reception and bar) they receive you with the best mango juice and the views from the room are something unique you can smell and see the sea, you can walk in the beach and they have a dog a cat that are adorable I had my flight canceled at the last minute and I had to change all my plans the staff of the reception helped me with everything and it was very late in the night. Thanks for everything!

“Very mixed feelings”
The accommodation would be good if it weren't for the strong tides. Most of the day, there is no water on the beach. And since the accommodation doesn't have a pool, it's really a problem to cool off on a hot day. Very noticeable electrical faults. The staff was nice and helpful. Good breakfast. The octopus for dinner was better than in restaurants.
