La disponibilité du personnel. La piscine et le jardin magnifique.

L'emplacement est assez isolé. C'est très calme . Trop calme. Les chambres sont immenses donc pas d'impression de cocooning.la plage n'est pas top .

"Wonderful experience"

10.0

Our stay at this beautiful hotel in Zanzibar was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The location is breathtaking, middle in the beautiful garden full of flowers and trees. Our room was spacious, spotless, and elegantly designed with a wonderful blend of modern comfort, antique furniture and local Zanzibari charm. But it was the staff who truly made our experience exceptional. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure we felt relaxed and cared for. The service was professional yet personal, which made us feel special throughout our stay. The food was outstanding — fresh seafood, delicious local dishes, and great selection of fresh squeezed juices for breakfast. Every meal was beautifully presented and full of flavor and local spices. And a relaxing Suni spa just made our stay perfect. This hotel exceeded all our expectations. If you are looking for luxury, tranquility, and authentic island hospitality in Zanzibar, this is the perfect place. We cannot wait to return! Highly recommended!

10.0

Fabulous place, with wonderfully kind staff. The garden is a paradise on earth, with various animals. Unlike Kenya, there are no thieves here, the birds and monkeys are completely peaceful. The pool is clean and fresh. The accommodation has 18 people, as far as I know, so the biggest "crowd" is only at dinner. This is also spread over the 2.5 hour dinner time. During the day, we did not meet anyone in the garden, except for the staff of course. It was like being in your own holiday home. The rooms are cleaned daily, the sanitary facilities are also very clean. We were there for the second time, 14 days this year. After such a long time, the food became a bit of a habit. However, the chef brought the highest level every day, preparing exceptionally delicious dishes from the ingredients. He is a fantastic person, as is everyone at the hotel. It was a special consideration that after our return home, just like last year, we were given a free night on our next holiday. We will definitely return. The only negative is the beach. Unfortunately it is rocky, not sandy, the tide is high and a lot of seaweed washes onto the shore, which they try to clean up with little success. But this is not the hotel's fault. We got around this by renting a motorbike and visiting several parts of the island, where we went to the most beautiful beaches.

A beautiful and peaceful place, very quiet and never crowded. The location is lush and green; we truly felt as though we were living in the jungle, yet with excellent service and exceptionally friendly staff. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished in a traditional style. Food and beverages are also outstanding, and the coffee is absolutely fantastic.

"Terrible experience."

1.0

We booked with high expectations, but were very disappointed with the food quality as well as the staff’s attitude and poor service standards.

Nothing was good except the location. But there are many other similar quality hotels around the location. So we would never recommend this hotel to anyone ever again.

Le personnel était très gentille, ils ont eu une attention particulière pour mon anniversaire qu'il ont rendu exceptionnel

L'emplacement. Étant voyeuse solitaire j'aurai préféré être proche d'un centre ville animé ce qui n'était pas le cas ici. C'est vraiment un hôtel juste pour se reposer ou ce ressourcer
