“Excellent”
Zanzigo was a lovely place to stay during our 2 nights in Nungwi. The room is beautiful, spacious and the bed is huge. Also the bathroom had hot water. Breakfast was yummy and it was different the two days so it was nice to have variety. The staff were nice and the owner helped us with everything. They have a parking space inside. The beach is nearby.

“Awesome stay, kind owner & staff, recommended!”
The hostel is nicely set in a gorgeous garden, close to the beach, but far enough from the harassing hypercenter. The staff is very nice, especially Safira, and the owner, Mounir, is a true gentleman, always keen on helping us. The room is nicely decorated, luminous, and the bed was huge and comfy. It was a pleasure to sleep there. Breakfast is consistent, and the welcoming with fresh fruits is a nice detail! Fully recommended

“Authentic, relaxing and warm with rustic charm and modern comforts.”
This is an absolutely stunning property with the right room choice <3 Safina and Mounir are some of the gentlest, warm hosts who make you feel at ease and at home. The breakfast included is lovely, and the property has a rustic charm, and plenty of cute kittens, which give it an authentic Zanzibar feel. We also loved the location. Between the West and East coasts of Nungwi, it was easy to access beaches all around - head West if you want a busier vibe and East for more tranquil settings. The King Rooms with Garden views are exceptional. Large, great bathrooms with excellent shower pressure, safes, and air conditioning. We also loved the included breakfasts!

“A well-priced gem complemented by an incredible host.”
Mounir was a truly excellent host who went above and beyond most. As a woman travelling alone, I sincerely appreciated his friendly warmth, attention to detail, and the insights he gave on the local To-Do's, paths to takes and places to see. It made the whole experience easier to navigate, and I always felt incredibly safe at the hotel. Moreover, the breakfast was wonderful and the staff were incredibly sweet! My hut was the perfect blend of luxury and rustic island living - and for SUCH a good price. I'll definitely go back someday soon!

“Perfect value for money stay in Zanzibar!”
We spent 7 nights at Zanzigo hotel as we cannot recommend it more! If you’re looking for a well located, cheap, quiet, safe and green place to stay in Zanzibar this is your place. All the bungalows are very spacious with private bathroom and a small patio either chairs and table to smoke or simply to enjoy some piece and quiet! The breakfast is fresh and homemade and includes fruits, eggs, potatoes, toasts and jams which are delicious! But probably the best part of this place is the manager Mounir, he helped us booking all the activities including a visit to a local school! He’s very friendly, patient and always on top of his duties, really polite and lovey man! Very much recommended for your stay in Zanzibar! xx

“Perfect”
The owner of the property and the girls who manage the hotel were very friendly and polite. This is the best budget hotel we've stayed in Tanzania. The property is clean and well-maintained, with modern amenities and lots of plants. 5 mins walk from the Nungwi beach, we were able to make multiple trips to the beach to watch high and low tides along with sunsets after short naps every now and then.

The room was amazing, it shows it is new. The location is more quiet than central area (I prefer this) so it assure a good sleep. Beds and illumination were really good too. Good breakfast and nice personal.

“Great and welcoming team, lovely rooms, recommended if you're staying around Nungwi Beach!”
Mounir and the team were so friendly and hospitable. I initially went into the Maasai hut, but due to electricity cuts I was allowed stay a night in the larger room. Also sleeping in the Maasai hut was a cool and interesting experience. I enjoyed my stay at the site!

I'd booked and paid for my room at Zanzigo before my stay, but when I arrived for my stay there was no such room available. I could accept this - things like this do happen. I declined the offer of another type of room and instead I chose to find accommodation elsewhere after the staff assured me that I'd get a full refund. However, Zanzigo never did refund me despite me trying to get in touch with them on multiple occasions and then also going through the complaints process via booking.com. I've never had this experience with any holiday accommodation before. I would not usually write unfavourable reviews. I do write favourable reviews where I think they are deserved - I left a favourable review for the Mizingani Seafront Hotel on this website.

I truly appreciated the location, nestled in the eastern part of Nungwi, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere. The room was beautifully designed, featuring large windows that flooded the space with natural light, and it was thoughtfully equipped to ensure comfort.
