Kuwa Zanzibar

Lovely and helpful staff

Rats in the room

Kuwa was amazing. The design of the room is beautiful, the staff was so attentive and friendly. Location is great, only 3 minutes walk to the beach. We loved everything about this property.

We LOVED our stay at Kuwa Hotel. Rachel and the girls made us feel so at home. We stayed here for a week and for the first time ever we were sad to leave a hotel. Every morning they’ve blessed us with a delicious breakfast and fresh juices. We wanted to try local Swahili food and they have prepared it for us the same night, which was amazing once again! The staff is able to fix anything for you with a lot of love. The hotel is close to the beach, a private and public one which has multiple hotels and small restaurants. The hotel and staff is 1000% worth a visit. We will miss you Kuwa! Lots of love from Nina and Elsa

Rooms were very nice. AC in the rooms. Property had a swimming pool.

Drainage in the shower was very poor and the drain smelled very unpleasant due to this. No restaurant on the property makes it inconvenient to guests. Guests have to visit other properties for dinner and lunch. Beaches are VERY dirty. We found a lot of rubbish, like used nappies, on the beach. Photos of the beach on booking.com does not represent the reality of the beach at all. Because of this we had to travel back to Nungwi- and Kendwa beaches to go swimming for the duration of our stay.

L’hotel est au calme, très charmant. Possibilité d’avoir un matelas sur la plage. Le personnel etait très soucieux du bien etre des clients. Très bon rapport qualité prix

Fint hotel med søde mennesker, som vil dig med alt for at gøre opholdet perfekt!

It’s a small hotel with beautiful garden, swimming pool and smiling people. Very detail-oriented. We had a tour one day in the early morning and they were happy to serve us breakfast earlier. They cook everything for your order so the food is fresh and hot. We enjoyed our stay and felt very safe and happy!

Rooms need a little update but not too much. The bed could be longer, my husband is 185cm and couldn’t fit in bed :))

A lovely,place with a good size swimming pool in a beautiful ,well-kept tropical garden. Large and nicely decorated apartment with great terrace. Incredibly comfortable bed and always spotless bedding. All amenities -for example laundry service ,daily cleaning,breakfast (especially fruits juices and tasty coffee)mini bar and beach bag with beach towels- make a stay very pleasant and easy..All team which works there is amazing and provide five star service - special thanks to Emanuel. Close to many restaurants and shops.

Unfortunately, the photos do not reflect anymore the actual condition - the swimming pool, although nice, requires renovation - the paint is peeling from the bottom, the seating area by the pool looks neglected and does not encourage relaxation. The apartment fridge,walls and floor also needs to be refreshed. Although I am aware that in such a climate and high humidity, keeping the bathroom in good condition is challenging, I was very disappointed when I saw the mouldy shower and sanitaryware in a really bad condition (most probably due to the salty water which comes from the taps.)During electricity interruptions the air conditioning does not work,and the apartment quickly heats up to oven temperature.No air condition in the living room makes sleeping there not comfortable.

Clean, nice pool open in evenings, spacious room, nice "local" dinner option on Wed

huge problems with electricity, their generator isn't powerfull enough to keep the whole property, especially in the afternoon/evening when is needed, sometimes you can't use ac, sometimes you don't have hot water or electricity in the bedroom, their explanations are not clear and they even don't say true stating that the problem was in last 2 days, other guests confirmed that the problem is permament, hot and no wind as the place isn't on the beach, we didn't like Kiwengwa as a place to stay in Zanzibar, much more expensive restaurants (the only place in Zanzibar where we saw prices in USD in each restaurant), nice option to use KBB restaurant and their sunbeds however the Italian owner wasn't nice, she shout on the staff, when paying they raised price of a beer from 4 to 6 USD and didn't informed before the order that need to import it from the mainland
