The staff really want the extra mile in terms of organizing your activities for us, making sure that we feel comfortable and welcome. This is the best place on Zanzibar with magnificent views of the lush, tropical jungle overlooking baobab trees, and with amazing sounds of birds, monkeys, and other wildlife you will not find a better experience on Zanzibar

For me, this was a five-star experience — not in an ultra-luxury sense, but in the way everything here brings you into a deep state of calm. The atmosphere, the people, the surroundings… everything feels in harmony. The hotel is located on the quiet, non-touristic side of Zanzibar, which makes it the perfect place to truly unwind. The staff are warm, attentive and incredibly helpful. They even connected me with local contacts for my art project, which I appreciated immensely. The rooms are minimalist and beautifully simple — exactly my style. And the pool is very large and wonderfully relaxing, ideal for spending long, peaceful moments by the water. Breakfast is generous, much more than a standard offering. The lunch and dinner menu is limited and mostly vegetarian/vegan, but every dish is prepared with care and tastes fresh and thoughtful. What makes this place even more special is its connection to the Hospitality School located on the same property. Most of the staff are young women in training, and all proceeds support their education and future opportunities. Knowing this makes the stay feel even more meaningful. If you’re looking for a place with heart, serenity and authenticity — rather than a typical luxury resort — this is truly something unique.

From the very first moment we entered the hotel, we felt completely at ease and genuinely welcomed. Every single wish and need was taken care of with warmth and attention to detail. Special thanks go to Chef Ally, a truly world-class chef who created outstanding dishes every single day. His food was simply incredible, and we already miss his exceptional cuisine! Beyond that, he always came to us personally with great recommendations and heartfelt conversations. The entire service team deserves praise – especially Ali, Akim, Miriam, Roman and Joyce who were always there for us with a smile, impeccable service, and wonderful, friendly energy. They made every moment feel special. Also, a huge thank you to the reception team, particularly Fatima, Mary, Asye and Mohammad, who helped us with absolutely everything – from taking photos to organizing activities and even assisting us when we forgot mosquito repellent. The General Manager, Arjun Kumar also deserves special recognition for running this place with such passion and professionalism. It’s clear that his leadership sets the tone for the entire team – everything runs smoothly, and you can truly feel that everyone enjoys what they do. The hotel itself is beautifully designed with so much taste and attention to detail. It truly leaves nothing to be desired. We felt incredibly comfortable throughout our entire stay and can only highly recommend this place to anyone looking for warmth, hospitality, and excellence in every detail.

If you like tranquillity and peace that is the best place where to stay, no mini clubs, no noise, just you and the ocean.. Petti and Manka, the girls that will take care of you, will always be nice, smiling and willing to do everything they can to accomodate you. Food is delicious. A nice walk will get you in the village with all the life you want. But here no beach boys. The room had a balcony with sea views so couldn't ask for more
