JUMBA LA TRENI

Stone Town

"It all started with when we arrived and the hotel staff said we had no reservation. We showed them the printout of our reservation and the would not honor. The hotel is far from what's in the picture. It's vert dilapidated and unkempt. It smells really bad. To be honest I was planning to just check-in drop my bags and head out in search of another place. The staff also, could not speak English. My drive from the airport was my saving grace who was there with us and interpreting to them what...

Top Zanzibar Hotel Reviews

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel with amazing staff and beautiful surroundings. Choice of food was a little bit limited compare to other hotels we stayed in but everyting they cooked was very tasty.Best food I ever had in all inclusive hotel."

Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Property is a hidden gem. Originally when I booked, this was adult only however it changed to family right before i arrived. I didnt like that but i will say it was big enough that the kids who were there weren’t a nuisance. Staff exceptional! Thanks to them all!!"

The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"On it's own away from the outside area, this is an excellent property. The beach can be accessed by others but that is not an issue and the beach traders are not intrusive. Shopping, dining, leasure and activities all catered for on site but trips out can also be organised from within the complex. But the the thing that makes this place are the staff, from the gardening team to head chef, each and every one was courteous, helpful and happy. Well done staff you make this place."

Mizingani Seafront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided information about resources available. Loved the old town feel. It reminds me of a Moroccan riad. Breakfast is good. The location is great. It’s close to the ferry. It has a nice rooftop to watch the sunset. It’s close to the airport."

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Sunset views were amazing. My room was great and housekeeping staff were awesome, help me decorate for my hubby bday, got us champagne and a cake. The gym was ok, some machines did not work or broken. The massage therapist was not so good, we booked couples massage and it wasnt worth it. I loved everything about the resort except entertainment nights were boring, dj could play better music (excluding Riu party) and the buffet was my nightmare. Same food offered every night, every station, the chef left red meat medium well, still saw blood. My husband and I had to pretend we had reservations to go try one of the restaurants on property. The best restaurant was the asain fusion restaurant next to the buffet. All the other restaurant food was blahhh. I spent 8 days here. I know it was off season but why food options not rotated daily. The drinks were mediocre, the juice was not even fresh it was powered mixed in water to taste like pineapple juice. Just the food was why I put 3 stars. The pools were great, staff were great, (Jambo, Jambo) beach walks were great, the buffet food could use upgrade on selections and taste. I came to Africa to eat African cuisine and flavors, the buffet offered American and other country food. Give me Zanzibar authentic food. I would refer others to this resort for everything else except food & spa."

Tembo House Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location and hotel were fantastic. We didn't much care for the breakfast as it was missing some essential meat items and very heavy on bread. They had eggs but it just wasn't the best so we went out for breakfast the second day. The hotel is beautiful, well situated and has three pools but there's no bar area and I don't think they sell any alcohol so we ended up next door at Livingstones alot"

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 4 just stayed in the Grand Ocean suite for 9 nights and we were blown away with how nice and helpful the staff were. First this resort is so CLEAN. The room was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Great showers and baths with very hot water and great water pressure. The mini bar was always stocked with beer sodas and waters… The resort felt very safe… there was always security at the front gate and down by the beach. There is only 1 restaurant but they offer so many options every day… for the first 7 nights we had the buffet which had at least 30 different things to choose from… I am a picky eater and allergic to many spices but I was able to find something to eat and the chef made me plain pasta when requested… my family loves spices so they enjoyed it all… there was always pasta, beef, chicken, and fish dishes to choose from. The last few nights they set up candlelight dinners around the property so we ate in the garden and by the pool those nights and ordered from a menu of options. The property is beautiful… the website pictures really don’t convey how nice it is, especially the beach area. The tides do go out pretty far everyday so there are times when you can’t swim in ocean but the stretch of beach to walk down is magnificent and there are so many beautiful shells to find. There are hundreds of sea urchins in waters in Zanzibar so bring water shoes. The staff is so attentive and proactively reaching out to help with anything"
