Staff were incredibly warm and helpful and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. We were surprised they had decorated the room and even left some beautiful (full size) skin care products as a gift. The room decor is also very thoughtful and functional. The hotel design is lovely too. You feel like you’re in the centre of the action too so its a great place to explore Stonetown.

Idyllic, serene, luxurious island resort with incredibly friendly staff, from the General Manager, Mr. Serrour and our host, Samuela, all the way down; all of whom went above and beyond to make our stay uniquely personal, memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. Some of the most fantastic Sunsets to enjoy as well. This all truly made it a one-of-a-kind stay and one we'll never forget surpassing all our expectations. Great choice of restaurants and food led by the amazing executive chef - Chef Giovanni, who was kind enough to create some incredible dining experiences for us. The Swahili breakfast is a must try. Also a special mention to Ju and William as well. Sad to leave and definitely hope to visit again sooner rather than later - I couldn't recommend a stay here enough! Thank you to all at Bawe - we wish you all the very best going forward!

Amazing historical building, decorated in a very stylish way creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. Staff was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. We appreciate support of Chedi from a breakfast restaurant. Fantastic sunset view and vibrant local beach next to the pool. Delicious breakfast with fresh coconut water. We are missing this place and people already.

A great place if you want to experience and enjoy the island. The food is excellent, the staff are always ready to help, the hotel is designed for a small number of people and we did not feel the presence of other people. The personalized beach is top. Large territory on which live monkeys! We felt really on a tropical island! The special dinner by the pool did not leave us indifferent! Thank you Maharaja, we will be back !

All five-star hotels in Zanzibar City

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    The Hotel is one of the nicest on the island. However you can’t compare with a 5 star on Europe. But for the island is a nice one. The staff is super helpful.

    for a 5 star hotel, it probably is by Zanzibar hotel ratings which you should not confuse with normal 5 star hotels. Very difficult to find anything wrong, but then again very difficult to find anything great about it
