Perfekt place to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city and relax in nature. The room was large and spacious (Family room) We loved the Aesthetic interior in the rooms and outside. Enjoyed a great time at the beach (at low tide). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Amazing breakfast, very tasty food… we loved the Tuna steak.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour...
We went to the Zan View Beach Bar most nights for happy hour and dinner. The beach has much more of a relaxed feel than Nungwi, which seemed more like a place for young people to get drunk whereas Kiwengwa was more families and laid-back properties.
Very spacious and stylish room, nice pool with great view with many sun beds available. We liked the garden with lovely plants and of course the bush babies! The hotel has a secluded feeling, away from the busyness Zanzibar sometimes can be. This was our last stop on a two week trip on the island and we very much enjoyed relaxing and winding down at this place. Also very happy with the generous check out time allowing you to still enjoy the facilities and having the time to take a shower before flying home. Thanks Marafiki!
Zanzibella is the best place to stay in Zanzibar. The location is perfect and the rooms are super clean and very big and comfortable for a couple. The staff is so friendly and especially Chaimae with whom we had close communication even before our trip and arranged everything for us. She was even there when she was not working. She made our stay wonderful. The beach is very quiet. The food is exemplary and they provide good entertainment with too many shows. I would highly and with no hesitations recommend Zanzibella.
The choice was made because we like to discover new dishes and tastes in different countries, and it was a top place for the photos found on social media. The restaurant is definitely the best we had on our route in Zanzibar - bravo to the chef and the entire team. All dishes exceeded our expectations - delicious, fresh ingredients, large portions, amazing decorations. Everything else about the hotel was not something unique - just good and comfortable with an ocean view. So, I'm giving my 10 points to the kitchen.
I loved my stay at Zan View Hotel. The staff was very helpful throughout our journey, always ready to accommodate us and very friendly. The location is perfect for someone looking for a quiet and calm area. I was happy to go through the village to get to the beach, it allowed me to meet wonderful people and to get in touch with the local culture. I booked most of my activities through the hotel and it went very well.
I would gladly stay there again if I ever go back to Zanzibar!
it was small & beautiful, decorated in Zanzibari style, clean & great air conditioning! It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!)
They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!
Excellent property and Alice from the Zanzibar Houses Office management was very easy to deal with. Suleyman was accessible throughout the stay and Sule (the stay-in security guy) was also respectful of our requests for privacy as a family. Rahmah the cleaning lady was amazing and the property was super clean everyday. Chef was also accommodating of our requests and made some excellent pancakes. If you like sunsets, it is a dream come true! :-)
-Very friendly and helpful stuff (Special thanks for General Manager Mr. Aied Rizkalla, Chef Lotfy, Stella, Zabron and Said)
-Flash Tour Guide Suleyman he is very professional. He arranged our tours with best price in Zanzibar.
-Delicious food served.
-Best honeymoon welcoming I had ever seen in a hotel or resort.
-Hotel location is perfect. 45 min to every where on island. Hotel is perfect for family’s and couples.
One of the best places I ever visited in my life. Italian style hotel in the middle of Zanzibar. I was pretty scared due to low amount of Comments , but place really exceed my expectations. Thank for one of the most beautiful vacation. Food in hotel is Italian and very tasty. Breakfast is amazing. Room is super clean. Right on beach front. People are super cool. Thank you!
+ professional & friendly team
+ decent wifi
+ delicious breakfasts with a wide variety of fruit
+ one of the best overall menu in Kiwengwa, octopus was outstanding!
+ beautiful beach with absolutely amazing sounds of ocean waves which we could hear from our room
+ great design inside & outside - white dream really stands out among other hotels in kiwengwa
I stayed in la base for 5 and the experience has been great. The place is really clean and comfortable. The restaurant is located right in front of the beach so you'll definitely have a relaxing time while enjoying your meal and drinks. Thanks to the hosts Cris and Luca. They were really cool. This place is a must when you're in kiwengwa.
Very good food, everyday different and the hotel is very well located, right on the beach. The ocean itself was also very good to swim in, no rocks, which you find sometimes in Zanzibar. Besides, the staff is very friendly, Stella and Harry from the reception are very welcoming and there is everyday some other entertainment to do or see.
Fantastic, great value little hotel right on the beach. Clean simple bungalow rooms which open right onto the sand. Rooms are very well set up for travellers with numerous universal power points and good Wi-Fi throughout. Great tasting breakfast and other meal options. Laura, Ania and the rest of the staff were amazing.
The location is really nice. Even though the hotel itself is not really at the beach ( they have a beach bar and the hotel is like 100 m further), that beach is the best one we've seen in Zanzibar. The rooms were clean and food was decent. The ac was working fine and water in the shower was hot. Internet was good.
The staff at Cast Away are exceedingly helpful, friendly and accommodating. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and even spoiled. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with a beach bar serving drinks. The facilities were beautiful and comfortable. I would gladly return to this hotel!
Wonderful resort right on the beach as the pictures show. Clean, great staff, nice food. Rooms are nice and spacious, with massive balcony's and modern furnishing and finishes. But has some Zanzibar charm. The owners are also very helpful for their guests. I generally loved it. Thank you Zanzibella
It's very nice smaller hotel than BlueBay which makes it more comfortable and quieter. The food is tasty and even there is no huge selection it's good enough. Stuff is professional so it makes your stay very pleasant and relaxing. I think that this is very good choice if you go to visit Zanzibar.
Great location, approx 1hr from Zanzibar airport, $50 oneway transport, great communication thru "Whats App", driver was kind and respectful. Resort is really nice with gorgeous grounds, clean pools.
The resort mostly has a European clientele.
Workers are kind and helpful
