Testimonials

Our Guests Love Us

“This place is such an amazing spot! We spent 7 days here after a tiring safari. This place is an oasis of relaxation. We were amazed by the beauty of the beach. Here the sand is so white and soft. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. They all have a lovely smile on their face, ready to answer all your questions or just to have a friendly chat.
The food is delicious. Chef Jussi Husa, creates an amazing fusion between North-European and Swahili cuisine. We were able to taste a few ‘special dishes’ during the week, just to add some extra flavour to the normal weekly menu.
All the rooms are very clean and spacious. They all have an excellent view.

The SPA offers different relaxation treatments that I would recommend. This is a place that cannot be missed during the holiday.
We have tried different excursions as well and we can honestly say that the best one is Mnemba island for the best snorkel experience in Zanzibar.
We definitely recommend this place and we are looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you Zanziblue for an awesome holiday!”

“What a fantastic place! Zanziblue was the most underrated spot we visited in Zanzibar. We stayed at four different hotels in the same or higher price range, one of which was about twice the cost and less than 10 minutes away by car. Still, Zanziblue was definitely the perfect choice for us, especially when it came to high-quality food. As a VEGAN, I was impressed that the kitchen could create vegan options comparable to those in high-quality Western restaurants. This is significant, considering the challenges and limitations on the island. Big kudos to the Swedish chef, who truly succeeded in crafting this experience. The highlight was definitely the vegan cheese made from cashew nuts. The menu is primarily non-vegan, I'm confident that non-vegan guests would also be impressed. It was the small details that made us feel so welcomed.
The staff respected us, and the hotel management clearly understands how to run a place like this by leading their local team by example. The service was exceptional. They not only listened to their guests but went above and beyond. For instance, they surprised us with a celebration for an unannounced birthday.
Another highlight was the beach tour offered with local guides from the village. We were finally able to connect with locals on a personal level, without feeling pressured to buy anything, allowing us to explore the region sustainably and learn about local life.
All in all, I wish we had discovered this place earlier so we could have stayed a longer period of time.”

“The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the property is! Everything about this place is just picture perfect, the rooms are amazing, their service is prompt and the staff is super helpful and sweet. The best part is the access to the beach, it is peaceful, serene and calm and not at all crowded unlike other beaches.”

“One of the best stay of my life. I stayed in Zanziblue for a week and I am extremely satisfied of my choice.
Staff has been always kind and available.
The restaurant deserves 5 stars. It's incredible and one of the best food I had abroad (I am Italian). In a week I have never eaten the same food, the offer is great.
Room was very comfortable and the position for me is the best in Zanzibar, close to sea to see the tide effect and far from the noise of other places.
Finally, daily trips were arranged perfectly.
100% reccommended!”

“A paradise on the coast of Zanzibar. Beautiful rooms and villas in an incredible environment. Kind staff, always smiling and helping you at all times to make your stay perfect. Relaxed atmosphere to combat daily stress or if you prefer many daily activities to have a great time. And on top of all this, chef Hzee Husa's restaurant with its great dishes. An unforgettable experience!! Thank you to all Zanziblue team. Asante sana ”

“Wonderful experience. The moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles, a welcome drink, Information about the resort, and felt a calming and friendly atmosphere. When we entered our rooms we smelled a very pleasing scent of spices, which made us feel at home. To avoid plastic we got glass bottles that we could fill with drinkable water at any time (which is needed in this heat). We didnt find this in other resort hotels of similiar prices. The whole resort is clean, well kept in good shape, the Pool and the viel of the sea is great. Food and drinks are also really good and worth their price. Couldnt recommend this place more. When we checked out hotel Manager Hazel offered us a late checkout Option free of Charge because the next guests were coming late anyway. Also something i never heard from any hotel ever before. So we stayed until 1 o clock because check in in the next accomodation was 2 pm. Just one example for the helpfulness and great Service we experienced in the zanziblue. Thank you so much ! ”

“We had the best week celebrating our honeymoon at Zanziblue! The staff are so nice and the views from the rooms, pool, and restaurant are amazing. They were helpful and knowledgeable of gluten allergy too :) thank you!”

“Fantastic place! A small jewelry box in the middle of the jungle. Wonderful staff, helpful, kind, special thanks to the chef for the food!! They cook very tasty! The rooms are beautiful, spacious and comfortable. After returning from the safari, towel elephants were waiting in the room! We loved it. In short, we felt fantastic! It is deservedly one of the best hotels on the island!!”

“The most excellent stay at Zanziblue, I was quite devastated to leave.
The hotel itself is stunning, uncrowded, and well-maintained. Each room has incredible views out to the beach and the ocean, and being able to watch the sunrise from bed is pretty special! Plenty of spaces to lounge about by the pool and ocean: hammocks, bean bags, sunbeds. Felt very safe, even though you could just walk out a few steps from bed onto the beach.
So many activities on offer: excursions, a very reasonably-priced spa, paddleboarding and kayaking, and a very efficient team will help with whatever you want to do.
The team itself is wonderful - very cool ladies running things day-to-day, friendly and relaxed staff all around, and they seem to know every guest individually. Everything was smooth and easy - from communications on activities via WhatsApp, down to being able to pay my bill by Google Pay at the end! Impressive service.
Finally - the food. Excellent value for some of the best dishes I've ever had. Great variety and daily specials meant that I didn't really feel like I wanted to eat elsewhere on this trip. Breakfasts were awesome too.
I'd return to Zanzibar especially to stay here again, and would recommend to anyone.”
