We had a fantastic time at Samawa! The property is gorgeous, intimate, and perfectly located just a short stroll from the beach. The rooms are beautiful, the food is fresh and delicious, and the wellness-focused atmosphere is so relaxing. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff—specifically to Kadogo, who was so incredibly helpful during our stay and made sure we were always well taken care of.

Ice bath!!!! 😍🫠 We couldn’t even expect for this! It was so good to go to ice bath in the morning and after excursions! Also, there was life music! Very friendly staff and very nice hotel design, with the shower like in a balcony 🥰

“Overall a good stay, good value for money. Staff were always very helpful and welcoming.”

- The staff was very friendly and helpful. - Communication with the reception was very efficient using WhatsApp. - The food at the hotel restaurant was very good, as well as the breakfast that had enough variety- I would definitely recommend trying the chef’s specials as they never disappointed. - The rooms look great, just like the photos on Booking. - The rooms were clean, room service did a great job and was prompt anytime we asked for something. - The hotel provides a free buggy service to the beach, it can be very useful.

The outdoor showers in the room's gardens are wonderful.

“Real 5 star experience”

One of the most beautiful accomodation visited in Africa, a real 5 star experience. Hotel has all the facilities that someone should have in the structure. Staff is very kind and helpful, jumbo room, comfortable bed. Moreover, hotel's restaurant is a real must!

“Perfect !”

I stayed at this hotel for one week and absolutely loved every moment of it. The staff were exceptional — always available, incredibly kind, and truly attentive to every detail. They made me feel genuinely cared for throughout my stay. The accommodations were comfortable, well maintained, and perfectly suited for a relaxing vacation. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast: a varied à la carte menu with great quality and plenty of choice, which made every morning a real pleasure. Everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hotel and would gladly return

Brilliant everything on point

“The best stay in Zanzibar”

Warm welcome, comfortable bed, the room was perfect, spacious, amazing!

“Fantastic stay in Paje!”

Our stay was fantastic, the hotel and the staff couldn’t have been better. It’s near to the beach (either by free hotel buggy or a 5 minute walk) that has some great bars and restaurants. The staff honestly couldn’t have done more to look after us during our time here, catering to my partners gluten allergy with care. We’ll be back again if we’re ever in Zanzibar!
