It was one of the best experiances in Zanzibar. The hotel is best for tourists who likes “butik” type hotels. Usually we live in a bigger hotels, so after that experience, we felt so much privacy in every area. No need to fight for the places near the pool, in the beach or restaurant. Very clean rooms. The kindness staff (all speaking English). And the food - we really enjoyed it!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed and genuinely cared for. The entire team was incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. Their constant presence and willingness to assist made the stay feel effortless and personal — they’re just genuinely nice, caring people who clearly love what they do. The location is perfect: tucked away in a quiet, peaceful area ideal for a relaxing vacation, yet just a few minutes’ walk from all the vibrant spots and city life. It offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. The rooms were in perfect condition — spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The views were absolutely amazing and added so much to the overall ambience, which was calm, elegant, and welcoming. Even the little touches stood out. Even without a breakfast buffet, every morning brought a new, delicious selection. You could really feel the care put into creating a fresh, varied experience each day. Most importantly, I felt completely safe and taken care of throughout my stay.

We came from Paje, where we stayed at a hotel where staff and hotel where not so nice and service focussed, so coming here was such a relief and really felt like vacation. This is an amazing hotel! It is small and so nice!They implemented beautiful original african elements in the furniture and look of the hotel. The staff is amazing, very kind and giving good service. They give you the feeling of comfort and at home. Good security, who is always at the gate to open the door and is so friendly. The owners, same! Such amazing people, we got to know them during our stay and had such a nice evening with them. The food they serve is good quality, breakfast is also good (no buffet) and with small changes every day - fruit, egg and toast always and the side dishes change. The rooms are very clean, good mattresses and spacious. The closest beach is 2 min walk, nungwi beach is 6/7 min walk. We definitely recommend and will stay here again if we come back to Zanzibar.

We had an amazing stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel and loved everything about it! Positives: 1. The location and beach are breathtaking, and the option to enjoy services at the beach beds is a great touch. 2. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. 3. There are plenty of activities to choose from, making the stay fun and engaging. 4. We stayed in two suites, both of which were fantastic—well-equipped and very comfortable. 5. The entire property felt safe, which added to our peace of mind. 6. Even the shisha team was friendly and added to the relaxed vibe.

The vibes are great — everything you need is nearby, including shops, restaurants, and tour offices. Restaurants on the beach tend to be a bit pricey, but if you take a short walk into the side streets, you’ll find places offering the same quality food at much more reasonable prices. What I didn’t like were the beach boys — they’re nice and friendly, but can be a bit annoying as they keep trying to sell things. They’re not too pushy, but it’s hard to relax when someone approaches you every couple of minutes. The only time you can truly enjoy some peace is early in the morning. Important note : you have to strongly negotiate the prices and people are very nice and easy going Try to learn few words from their language they will be super happy :)

The beach is beautiful and the water very warm.

The beach is beautiful and the water very warm. Because of the strong tides there's only water in the morning and the afternoon but it makes the beach very interesting and beautiful and gives the oportunity to walk far out and find seashells and starfish. The only downside to the beach is the many very insisting sellers who make it impossible to go for a walk without being approached.

A peaceful and welcoming town with a strong sense of community and a safe, relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in a peaceful part of town, where there were noticeably fewer street vendors selling beads and souvenirs compared to other areas. This made the atmosphere even more calm and relaxing, allowing us to fully enjoy the local charm without feeling overwhelmed.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from...

Michamvi is located approximately 65 kilometers from Forodhani, and the journey can feel quite long—particularly if you have just arrived in Zanzibar. The drive is somewhat uncomfortable due to the condition of the road, which consists largely of worn, uneven tarmac. Additionally, the area lacks local street food options, leaving nearby hotels—most of which are high-end and expensive—as the primary dining choices. As someone who genuinely enjoys the rich and flavorful cuisine of Stone Town, I found the food in the area to be rather bland and not reflective of its price point.
