Cabins in Kiwengwa

the pool was really clean, the room service was doing the rooms twice/day, really clean. And good food !!

I liked the staff's service and the breakfast. The cleanliness was what I appreciated the most. It is walking distance to the beach and close to the road where there are many restaurants to choose from It is a very quiet area.

Very friendly owner and staff

Staying is this hotel was beautiful experience - hotel is located at the very end of beach and gives an escape from bysy Kiwengwa beach. You can relax at hotel and have some fun at the beach - best of both. Infinity pool and view from it was best feature - no other hotel in Zanzibar has view like Shooting Star. Breakfast was good, staff was very welcoming and helpful. If you want peaceful stay, beautiful views and still be close to activities and local restaurants - this is the best hotel. One additional recommendation - when staying at this hotel - have dinner/lunch at Amour restaurant nearby - you will not regret it.

Beautiful space very close to the beach. The beach is miles long with fine white sand and clean water, just beautiful.The pool and residence are also amazing if you just want to chill. The Manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good! The area is a mix of local vibes and resorts. It was a great introduction to Zanzibar. Thank you to all the staff who made our stay perfect!

Delicious local fruit, fresh eggs and well made crepes for breakfast. Ginger or otherwise herbal teas of top quality. Fabulous interior, and exterior, with millions corners to sit or lay. It is nothing like a typical beach bungalow or guest house. It looks and feels as a house made with love, by creative and artistic minds.

Afya is a paradise off the beaten track. The location is hidden away from the touristy areas, located on a quiet stretch of beach ideal for long walks and swimming. The bungalows are private and comfortable and run on solar power - a great example of sustainable tourism. The staff are super helpful and friendly - shout out to Ali, Timoth and Nadra for making our stay so wonderful! We ended up extending our stay as we loved it so much!

I could honestly write a 10-page article in praise of Shanuo. Firstly, yes. It’s every bit as beautiful as the pictures would have you believe. (With that said, there’s no way to truly capture the beauty of this place through a camera lens. You just have to go there to see that for yourself). Surrounded by coconut trees and brightly coloured tropical flowers, the bungalows overlook the Indian Ocean - a morning dip is a must! My room was clean and comfortable and I was provided with everything I might need during my stay. Although Shanuo doesn’t have its own restaurant, I can honestly say this has no impact on your stay at all. The breakfasts are generous and Shanuo provides drinks and snacks (at a small fee) if you’re feeling peckish. There are several neighbouring properties along the beach with restaurants. I promise you won’t go hungry! Secondly, the staff are incredibly accommodating and helpful, and you’re guaranteed to be met with a friendly smile and an enthusiastic “Jambo” 100% of the time. If you need anything, you just need to look up and someone is there to assist. A big thank you to everyone at Shanuo, but especially to Na who brought my breakfast every morning and who I had lovely chats with, to Daniel who cut copious amounts of fresh aloe vera to tend my sun burn, and of course to the manager, Gillian, who is energetic, friendly and builds meaningful connections with her guests which she uses to tailor her travel tips especially to your needs. This team creates an atmosphere that truly makes you feel as though you’re ‘coming home’. There’s so much more that I could say, but anyone reading this will begin to think I’m exaggerating. I’m really not. Do yourself a favour and just book! I’ll certainly be coming back here on my next Zanzibar adventure.

The staff was amazing, they always ensured that we had what we needed at all times. The bungalow we were staying in was great. There is an amazing entrance where you can relax. It is very close to the beach, a local bar and a few restaurants. The bungalows are fairly close to many turistic attractions and other turistic beaches (driving or bus). The food at Sagando is very tasty. We had an amazing time, it was lots of fun.
