We have traveled extensively across the globe, from Mauritius and the Dominican Republic to the Maldives and Indonesia. However, we have never encountered such genuine, warm, and friendly hospitality as we did here at Zanziblue. Exceptional Flexibility & Integrity: Due to the Middle East conflict, we were forced to reorganize our entire trip. Even though we had a non-refundable booking, the management proactively informed us that they would provide a full refund if we couldn't make it. This level of honesty and fairness before we even arrived was remarkable. Going Above and Beyond: After our travel changes, we arrived at the hotel at 5:00 AM. Instead of making us wait until the afternoon, they allowed us to check into our room immediately, free of charge. This was a huge gesture that far exceeded our expectations. On our final day, as our flight wasn't until 11:30 PM, they granted us a complimentary late checkout until 2:00 PM. To top it off, they then provided a higher-category room for the remainder of the afternoon just so we could store our luggage, relax, and shower before heading to the airport. Service & Quality: The food is phenomenal, and the staff is even more attentive than one could ever expect. The rooms are spotless, and fresh cold water was always provided. After every excursion, we were welcomed back like long-lost friends returning home. Summary: The location and the people here are simply magnificent. If you are visiting Zanzibar, do not miss the chance to stay here. It is rare to find a place that balances professional service with such deep human kindness. Asante sana to the whole team! We cannot recommend Zanziblue highly enough!

“Boutique-Hideaway with extremely cordial hotel employees”

We had the pleasure of experiencing Zanziblue for seven days as a couple in September 2025. We deliberately chose the east coast with its beautiful vegetation and rather wild beaches. The small boutique hotel is located on a beautiful stretch of beach with many coconut palms, creating a tropical island feeling. The white sand is extremely powdery, inviting you to take long walks on the endless beach. The hotel grounds are slightly separated from the public beach and guarded, ensuring absolute peace and quiet from the sometimes intrusive beach boys. The hotel grounds feature an enchanting freshwater pool, a beach restaurant under a tent roof, several hammocks, and very comfortable loungers. The few rooms are spread across four beautiful two-story houses built in the local architectural style. Each house has a communal kitchen with a drinking water dispenser, which can be filled free of charge in glass bottles provided by the hotel. The rooms (we were allowed to stay in a huge attic room on the second floor with a large private terrace and a perfect sea view) are functionally furnished and have beautiful bathrooms. The only “criticism” one could mention is the rather weak Wi-Fi. The best thing about the hideaway is its culinary concept. The Swedish chef, who has been living in Zanzibar for over 20 years, conjures up fantastic fusion cuisine dishes. As a food lover, I must admit that I have rarely eaten better in a holiday hotel – it's amazing! There is also a small but finely curated wine list, mainly from South Africa. Breakfast is served as a buffet. Cereals, homemade breads (some sourdough), various pastries and croissants, fresh tropical fruits, smoked tuna or chicken, egg dishes and juices, as well as tea and coffee leave nothing to be desired. Lunch and dinner can be enjoyed in the restaurant, on the rooftop terrace, or on the beach. Everything is tailored to the individual needs of each guest. The warmth and friendliness with which the hotel staff treats guests is impressive. Everything is simple, every wish is fulfilled. You feel like you are part of a family from the first to the last moment of your stay. Perfection! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

We had a beautiful room with a view of the ocean, which made our stay truly special. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was terrific—we enjoyed every meal. We’d highly recommend the private snorkeling trips they arrange, especially if you want to avoid big crowds. A couple of things to note for other travelers: the rooms aren’t overly spacious, which made it tricky to keep two suitcases open at the same time, and there were noticeably more mosquitos here than on the mainland, so bring good repellent. The only potential improvement would be if staff could take drink orders by the pool, so you don’t always have to walk to the bar. Overall, though, a wonderful stay in Zanzibar with great hospitality and stunning surroundings.
