Chambre très petite . Au 2 eme étage côté rue très bruyante avec un bar en face. Salle de bain est plus une salle d’eau où l’on mouille tout y compris la cuvette des wc Wifi très faible et déconnecté tout le temps Personnel pas très souriant et accueillant par rapport .Déçu,nous attendions mieux

Sheets were a bit hard as well as the bed. Not enough towels at the pool. Restaurant was top notch and a hidden gem! Evening server Lydia was exceptional! Bernard at the front desk took us shopping as well! Recommend if you want to be in the middle of everything in a convenient location just bring earplugs.

A wonderful boutique hotel experience together with amazing gourmet food, great spa services (thanks Happy!), and roof top pool. The staff are all super friendly and every day of my 10-day stay I felt like I was coming back home. Thanks everyone at Upendo house!

Dette er et ganske lite, men veldig bra hotell. Både mat og service er over all forventning. Beliggenheten er upåklagelig og takterrassen absolutt nydelig. Kan anbefale hotellet på det varmeste.

Ein tolles Hotel! Ruhig und kein aber mit viel Charm! Eine richtige Oase direkt im Zentrum ider lebendigen Staft. Ganz besonders ist das Frühsrück und das Restaurant mit dem Pool und der Rooftopbar mit Blick über die Stadt bis zum Meer! Wir können dieses Hotel sehr empfehlen.

"Charm and comfort in the heart of Stone Townn"

10.0

What a wonderful stay - the room was comfortable and chic with strong AC, a comfort bed, and a nice bathroom. The rooftop bar and pool were lovely with amazing views of the ocean. Benjamin and the other staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location was great - right in the heart of Stone Town. I highly recommend it!

"Thank you Upendo Staff"

10.0

The view from the rooftop pool and the location of the hotel is amazing. Every single staff person I came in contact with at Upendo provided exceptional customer service. By the end of my one week stay, the staff felt like family. I was so sad to leave. I was so well taken care of. Kassim crafted the most delicious and beautiful cocktails. Lydia and Abella provided warm service with a smile during meals in The 5th Restaurant. Benjamin arranged all my excursions, taxi and overall concierge services. Rita and Krishna greeted us daily and made sure everything was going well. It was also great being able to spend time at the Upendo Beach house location. We met other travelers during cocktail hour on the rooftop. Zanzibar is a beautiful place but the staff here made my trip!

Great hotel. But staff might send what you think are gratuities and then try to charge you for them.
