The premises are absolutely beautiful. The beach, the pool, and the rooms are flawless.The service is really bad, especially restaurant staff. In their defense, they did seem understaffed, but the waitress rolled her eyes on me when I ordered food to be delivered. Each drink will take 30 minutes to get ready. If you are at the beach nobody will come and ask if you want a beverage, you have to walk all the way to the main restaurant to order, because the pool bar is always empty. For the price tag, I expected way better service. When they do come, food and drinks are delicious, though.

The hotel and beach area is as beautiful as the pictures and we loved relaxing on the swing chairs.The room is big and the balcony had a pretty sea view. I recommend the villa (with private pool) if you are looking to splurge.Cleaning staff are wonderful and kind.Food was very tasty, but most kitchen staff we interacted with were very impatient and seemed annoyed to serve us, so we ended up eating elsewhere for most meals (walking down the beach is pleasant when the tide is low, else we walked back on the road). Even getting drinks on a sunny afternoon was a challenge.Bathroom needs a little love as well, our toilet did not flush properly.Wifi internet was inconsistent and slow, usually giving max 1mbps during the day, with disconnects.

Very friendly staff, with exception of one reception guy that wanted to profit from our tour and charged double the price. Internet is terrible, constant disconnects, 0.16 mbit up/down speed with a lot of jitter and packet loss. Almost unusable. Cleaning ladies are exceptional. They are so nice and they prepare rooms so each day feels like you are on honeymoon. Prices in restaurant and bar are totally reasonable ($4 cocktail in happy hour) and food is delicious.

Picturesque location, wonderfully friendly staff and spotless housekeeping. A few areas could do with attention - bathroom refurb, pillows, massage, food variety - but it didn’t stop me having a fantastic stay and I would happily return. As others have said, there isn’t a white sand beach but plenty of sand in the grounds and can easily swim at high tide so no issue IMO! I also enjoyed being away from main town and walking the 10mins there at low tide. I was in the normal rooms and would go for a suite next time. Highly recommend - one of the few places I’ve ever been where the Instagram pics are reality!!

We had the perfect honeymoon in the perfect hotel!!I dont know where to start. We stayed 6 nights in the hotel and we wish we stayed longer.We booked one of the three new love shacks situated in front of the turquoise Indian Ocean.The room was fully equipped and beautifully built and organized. We were comfortable and we had no issue with it. We noticed that there arent mosquitos bothering us but still the hotel insists on spraying the room every night.The food was amazing!! We tried lots of dishes from the menu and every time the chef surprised us with different ingredients each time, mango or avocado..The quantity was really generous and we felt full after each meal. The seafood was so tasty.Along with the Lunch/dinner menu, there was a 5 course dinner every day and we had to choose our main course everyday after breakfast. The standards were higher than we ever expected. And to add on the great food, the staff and waiters were professional and kind.The pool was 2m deep and it was in front of the ocean. We enjoyed some tasty cocktails either near it or on the installed swings facing the ocean.The design of the hotel is really simplistic, in a good way, with white sand everywhere, beautiful lights to highlight the path to the rooms or restaurant.., and a well maintained garden.The other rooms looked great as well and there are even private villas for friends and families.It is clear that the owners are doing a great job in maintaining this piece of heaven.Special thanks to Kyoso, with whom we organized this trip. He was really patient with us before coming to the hotel answering all our questions and organizing everything for us. With all of that, he even came with the driver to greet us at the airport. He is a great and kind person and made our stay comfortable. We cant say the opposite on the hotel staff.We were sad to leave but we will definitely come back to the hotel with our families or friends as Zanzibar has a lot to offer and the Zanzibari Boutique is just as amazing.

Good except the service in the restaurant, which is extremely weak, the food, and the massage. I was going to give three stars, but gave four because they upgraded us to the love shack for two nights for free. The seafood at the restaurant is cooked beyond recognition. The wifi is poor. Dont waste your money on a massage because the ladies doing it obviously have no clue what massage is. Otherwise the rooms were spacious and spotless. Theres really no beach there but the yard is nice.

Beautiful little paradise hidden in the north of the island, helpful staff, clean rooms, lovely beaches nearby, close walk to the Nungwi willage, top service🙂. And those views....🥰

Eco-friendly, spacious rooms, lovely views and delicious food! Did I mention lovely views?

Although most staff were cordial and polite, waitress was completely disinterested and failed to deliver order in a timely manner. Secondly, the fragility of the furniture is a huge issue as several things broke during our stay. Lastly, the extortionate prices for quite possibly the worst fishing experience in my life was ridiculous. We paid $200 dollars for a wooden boat without any seats, 2 fishing rods that we weren’t allowed to hold ourselves. Also we were promised “fruits” on the boat but they proceeded to cut up dirty oranges and gave it to us. In addition, the boat had a motor but the captain refused to use it, appearing to want to save fuel. Completely pathetic excuse for a hotel, 1/10.

This was my 2nd visit here this year.The staff are the best,very friendly and attentive.Great choice of food on the menu.I stayed in one of there Love Shacks Four poster bed with the most comfortable mattress. If you want wake up to the torquiose seas then book one of these ❤️

My few days of staying at The Zanzibari was amazing. Nothing went wrong, nice, caring and welcoming staff.Also, the staff were kind and always keen to help, nice meals taste so yummy, clean rooms, enough water in the rooms, for me, it was one of the most perfect places. also, it’s felt like I was just at home.All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel The Zanzibari and THANK YOU for making my holiday to remember Zanzibar, Tanzania 🇹🇿.If I will come back again, I will stay at The Zanzibari Hotel, Nungwi. Inch’Allah.Big up to all the staff✌️!

What an absolute gem of a hotel. The location is pristine, the design of the hotel is unique, and the service is first class. We stayed in the quaint love shack, situated footsteps from the ocean. Kyosa, Lazaru, Amani, Omar- these are the faces and personalities that gave this place so much character and charm. Definitely recommended for a relaxing and hospitable stay.

By far my favorite place I stayed in Zanzibar. Great Staff very welcoming and helpful. The food and drinks were really good (banana pancakes and steak sandwich and the welcome drink of mango, passion fruit and pinapple was my favorite) . Very clean and tidy. I loved how the property was right on the beach had a great sea water pool. Great view!

Nice Place. Very friendly staff. Clean restaurant, very good breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We had the time of our lives here! Its a wonderful piece of paradise, by all means. The people here are so friendly, professional and well educated, always smiling and willing to share a lot of interesting things about the culture and the country. The food is tasty, flavoured and delightful! On Friday night they organized a swahili traditional night, with local dishes and music. We really enjoyed not only the amazing food, but also the atmosphere! All the guests and the staff were so joyful. Another night, I had seafood salad for dinner and it was just perfect. Soft octopus, tasty shrimps and calamari grilled to perfection. The rooms are cleaned with so much attention to details and everyday we have fresh flowers. Before closing, I want to pay a special Asante Sana! to Lazaro, Kyoso and Zori, we are grateful for their warm and nice way of welcoming us. All the best for you! 🇹🇿🌴💗Hakuna Matata!

Amazing place, great helpful staff, tasty food (I do recommend to get the 5 course dinner) and amazing location in Zanzibar.Highly recommended. Thank you.

We werent actual guests of the hotel, but we stayed here and used the amenities because our hotel was the worst. They have great food and excellent service. The staff is friendly and accomodating and they went out of their way to make us feel like we belong. If you have the chance to stay with them we highly recommend it. We took the sunset cruise and it was awesome - THE PARTY BOAT FTW! The pool is cleaned every day, the massage was great and they have fast and kind service. Abdullah ( I hope this is how its spelled) makes everything better and Zori was very entertaining while on the boat cruise.

Nice Location with awesome stuff! Quiet, friendly, save and nice drinks&food! We stayed in private villa, 100% privacy 👍 also we enjoyed the tansania evening! Thanks to all the stuff! Asante sana 🇹🇿🙏

In Zanzibar you will find a different landscape around every corner: the idyllic beaches and ocean, become a playground for diving, snorkeling and kitesurfing, while the narrow alleys of historic Stone Town meander between ancient buildings decorated with balconies and gigantic carved doors. Whether you are looking for an ideally-located hotel to explore the island, or as part of your adventurous holiday, The Zanzibari has you covered. This boutique hotel’s excellent location on the North-Eastern tip of the island and its peaceful surroundings make it the perfect destination for those after somewhere a bit smaller, offering a relaxed atmosphere and simple but efficient rooms.Do not miss the chance of getting to see the cool surroundings of the spa room which overlooks the Indian Ocean. The hotel offers water activities such as snorkel and scuba diving.

Great hotel with friendly staff and beautiful grounds. The rooms were large and airy. The food is really good and the cocktails excellent. The sauna is very good and the view from the property is amazing.

We were made to feel like royalties here! We even got our own Maasai welcome dance arriving here. Looking at the pictures we took every single one looks like a postcard. Easily one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in, ever. We were on Zanzibar to visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. First Stone Town and then the tentative Jozani Forest/Chwaka Bay Conservation Area.We only spent two nights in The Zanzibari at the end of November but we wish we could have spent 2 weeks instead. The hotel garden has been curated for over 10 years. It is beautifully laid out with white sand and stone laid paths leading to all parts of the grounds. In the middle, surrounded by tropical trees, is a beautiful pool area facing the Indian Ocean. When the tide is high there is an amazing little private beach available. When the tide is out you have more space than you could ever wish for. This hotel is very secluded and not part of the super touristy part of Nungwi, it is on the other side of the village. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The weather was great and we loved just chilling by the infinity pool and strolling on the beach at low tide.Our room on the second floor was spectacular. We were saying wow a lot coming in there. The very comfy bed was wonderfully arranged with flowers. From it, you could see straight out into the ocean’s horizon. An even better view we had from our private balcony, it was simply stunning.We had all our meals in the hotel and with no complaints, everything was delicious. The staff were all lovely and extremely attentive and helpful all the time.The most interesting and eye-opening activity we did while at the hotel was to join a village walk. It took us into the nearby Nungwi village. Nzori, from the hotel, was an amazing guide. He knew everyone in the village and took us to his own home to show us how real Zanzibari people live. Do this activity and you will get a whole new level of understanding life there. We also signed up for a Dhow Sunset Sail, departing from Nungwi Beach. This was another highlight of our stay but of a very different sort.The Zanzibari comes highly recommended by us. It is a fantastic place to stay for a relaxing and secluded beach holiday.

Paradise on earth! The employees were so kind and helpful, the food very tasty and the location above our expectations! Happy to find this place! Highly recommend! ☀️🌴🌊

Very nice. Staff anticipated what we wanted to the point it was almost creepy. In a good way! Nice and secluded, when you just want to relax for a few days after a safari.Help the ocean, have a flip-flop!

Lovely and relaxing hideaway!!!!!We was here for 5 days and left on Easter day this year 2015,the environment is very nice, staffs are welcoming and friendly, we met Mr. Mrisho he was very kind to us, even the Owners too,They also have a nice food we selected half board but wherever dish we had was super yummy, the seafoods was fresh I was loving eating prawns many time.Me and my partner we enjoyed a lot staying in Private cottages and using our private pool too (Frangipani).I hope one day we will be back again here.

Very friendly, family, quiet place with gorgeous cuisine and nice helpful staff.

Just does not worth your money.the place is not well kept,dry grass and plants,no beach,rocks.maybe at low tide its ok to go in. Breakfast is not a buffet and you need to order when you get to eat.takes 40 min and above it all you cant have more if you want.. we got 1/4 of mango a watermelon slice and a piece of orange if you can call it a piece..Dinner took 1 hour.Rooms has no water pressure and windows were always open no possibility to close..just enjoy with your money in another place

Very nice hotel, very friendly statt.The best is the location and the Beach!

A pleasant lunch stop, away from the town madness.

Great place, like in paradise... exactly what we expeted... very nice small resort, very kind people... needs to be visited... thanks to all people around...

Nice hotel. Beautiful views. Great staff. Comfortable rooms. Very good food. Very relaxing.

Very nice tax and very happy driver

Such a peaceful place. Nice rooms, lovely staff, pool area is cool, and the beach is so close.

We had a mixed experience there. The hotel is very far from what you see in the pictures. The rooms are huge and have a great view but they are not clean, some of the sheets werent even replaced which is quite grose. Fabiola the receptionist is really welcoming and helpful.The dining place is nice and basic. The food also is good. But as alot of places in zanzibar they have problems woth wifi (we didnt have at all in the room) and payment issues.

Simply fantastic. The accommodation, the service, the location, the activities and the food.. just amazing. Highly recommend it..

Fantastic service. Had a fantastic time

Diving and kayaking is done better at the hotel, with the ocean view as well,i lyk The Zanzibari Hotel.

Amazing hotel. Great service too

Lovely personal and good location! Can recommend!

Beautiful place with great service, staff is friendly, alway smiley and willing to help. Hospitality and all services are at very high level.Food and drinks were excellent for good prices with addition of evening performance of local dancers and singers, acrobats or Masai traditions.The beach at the hotel is beautiful. In case of high tide, we went to Nungwi beach which is only 5 minutes away on foot, but more or less to try it, as the high tide was there for couple of hours a day only.Thank you Zanzibari team for a great time.

Beautiful place. Most helpful and pleasant staff.

Very quiet cozy hotel, the food in the restaurant is very tasty. The only negative is the very strong ebbs and flows, swimming except in the pool is unlikely to work in the sea. When we rested, there were very strong waves at high tide. But there are also positive aspects of strong low tides, if you go to the right of the hotel, then there is just a heavenly spit with a snow-white beach and there are places where it is possible to splash, so to speak, the water is knee-deep there.

We booked the villa with private pool for 7 nights.The villa is MAGNIFICENT, very spacious and very well appointed, a real haven of peace.The sea view from the garden and the swimming pool is splendid.We had a wonderful stay, the staff are very attentive and unconditional kindness.Special mention to ZOURI for the logistics who are very kind and who make sure that everything goes for the best during your stay, truly a man with a big heart.Regarding the breakfast it is very generous you have something for all tastes.We had dinner at the hotel a few evenings and the food was very good there as well.I highly recommend this hotel.Thank you for this stay.Siham & Esmael

Welcome drink on arrival, very very nice and helpful staff, we even had the right to a nice surprise for my birthday thank you again to Baraka, Tino, Abubakari, Kyoso and Nzori ♡ the moment was unforgettable!Bungalow number 1 is perfectly located, paradise beach in sight! Very intimate and discreet hotel which is perfect when you come to Zanzibar.The sea is magnificent despite the low tide in the morning, a staircase leads you directly to the water in the afternoon, turquoise water ♡ still bring swimming shoes.The breakfast is very generous, à la carte and really good, which is rare on the island (a special thank you for the Nutella and the waffles), the quality is there for the rest of the meals as well.The swimming pool is nice but honestly with the sea that we have, we dont spend more time there than that.The outdoor facilities are sufficient.The bedding is good and the cleaning is very good, thank you very much for the cleaning and the smile of Rose & Biti)Finally the location is very good, on foot you have the turtle conservatory, and the cocobello to party on Wednesdays and Saturdays!I am posting this comment after having done 3 other hotels on the island and honestly we regret them!

We are currently staying in this hotel which is none other than a true haven of peace, a paradise on earth, a hotel like we have never had ... The rooms are very beautiful, very clean, cleaned with care , (we are in Love Shakes 3, the one that is the farthest back and we have such a pleasant intimacy ...). The food is neat, so good, that you have the impression of being in a real gourmet restaurant ... with quality raw materials (fresh fish, fresh exotic fruits and even, for some cueuillis, within the restaurant itself. hotel). Do not hesitate to ask to go up to the palm tree with the gardeners to collect coconuts, it was a great experience for Mr. 👍 ...The hotel and its garden are there very nicely maintained every day. The hotel, concerned about our well-being, makes a passage every evening in the room in order to spray an insecticide ... No bites for us 🙂.A big ++ for the hotel staff who take care of their customers and in particular, Alfred, Nzori (manager), the gardener Francis, Betty who is always there at the reception to help you. PS: the Maasai are constantly present to ensure our safety. This is a small hotel very well located close to everything, the pool is nice, the deckchairs and swings are great for an intimate romantic moment .... Waking up in front of the sea with the sound of the sea...PS: it is about a rather poor country, do not hesitate to give small tips, and to bring back small gifts for the Zanzibari in town ... They really need it. This is our best trip, and the choice of hotel is a real find.

Great stay, the setting is very pleasant with the swimming pool and the view of the sea. There are very few bedrooms so its a quiet environment. The staff is very caring. I recommend

Sunrise page and I’ve been here several times.For breakfast, Resort does not limit the quantity ordered.Everyone is very kind at the Resort.I would also highlight Nzori, Rose, Eliza, Kyoso and taxi driver Khassim.Food, pool, room are flawless !!!It is worth coming here, because you will not be disappointed here!

The people are lovely, the food is good but not exceptional

Samuel is the best server.

The hotel is in a great location by the beach.wifi quality level not terrible at all it is often offthe receptionist not pleasant I underline it well and lean restaurant in choice and provide the supplement otherwise the change is for the next day

A wonderful hotel I stayed 3 nights no regrets a paradise on earth

We went on our honeymoon at the end of August 2018. Superb hotel located away from the main beach but which is magically calm. Breathtaking view of the ocean. Little room so very quiet. A real corner of paradise. We had taken half board and we were right because at night the tide is high and it is therefore impossible to go to the heart of Neugwi. Nothing prevents you from taking the taxi ride. The food was very good and is meant to be gastro with a 3 course service.The rooms have all seen on the ocean more or less clear depending on the floor.To really recommend !!!

Boutique Hotel The Zanzibari is good value for money, with decent rooms, a beautiful beach and a relaxed atmosphere

Amazing staff still smiling, excellent food and service, still cleaned swimming pool with sea water, ideal place to relax and unwind, beautiful surroundings and a small number of people. I recommend visiting.

Small fine plant. Only 8 rooms and 2 beach bungalows. We were in the beach bungalow. Very spacious over 2 floors. Small private beach with pool. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is good and the evening dinner as a 5-course menu was absolutely delicious. We felt very comfortable and had 5 totally relaxing days. Thank you again for that.

It was a very nice and clean hotel.

Insanely beautiful!

It is located in a quiet area of ​​Nungwi. Great accommodation

Boring
