Kendwa Carletto Style

We stayed here for 2 nights. If you like to stay outside the hussle and bussle of Kendwa beach you have to come here! You have to walk down the village to get to the beach. This is a nice walk because almost every villager is greeting you and you can see a bit of African life. If you stay at a accomodation at the beach you probably are not even aware that you’re in Africa… As for the room: it is clean and it has a nice shower and the temperature is good because of the AC and fan. The AC fell out once in a while, but we were not bordered because the fan still worked. The breakfast is the best we have had in Zanzibar! And last but not least: the people who work there are so nice, helpful and interested in their guests. It really was a nice place!!

Nothing

Kendwa Rasta Style is amazing! You stay in lovely bungalows that make you feel instantly in paradise. It’s a very relaxing and quiet place. It was clean and the staff was a 10/10. We will be coming back!

It’s not the first time I’m using this lodge! It’s really close to the beach, the staff is nice, specially the receptionist Jay. I will definitely go back again as soon as I’m in Kendwa!

We booked kendwa Rasta style because comments seemed to be ok. The Place is nice and peaceful. However, we where not lucky and had many issues. We had to come out 3 times during the showers to tell them that there was no water. Then the AC and fan was not working properly in the room so it was very hot in the room. After asking for a solution they offered us another room that the AC should have worked properly. The fan worked better, however AC stopped working at 23:00 at night. Breakfast was quite pathetic, one mini sandwich with a peace of omelette, one bread with Nutella, one bread with some jam. Three slices of fruit that seemed to be cut the day before because they tasted old. Location is not the best, you need to walk about 20 min to the beach. At night the road to the hotel is completely dark with no lights. If you are not looking for adventure, and want to have some relaxed days in kendwa beach , do not book at Kendwa Rasta style. You can find better and nicer hotels to stay on the beach front for the same money. We decided to check out and go to another other after our first night. Unfortunately, the owners didn’t seem to mind us leaving after not offering or accepting any kind of refund.

The staff, the food, the laid back approach.

Our aircon didnt work.

The bungalows are very big and clean and they have air-con, however I will suggest to put more furniture inside such as tables, hangers and maybe a wardrobe since there is plenty of space for it. The food is really good and the staff is so lovely, thanks to Jay and the chef they made our experience fantastic!

This hotel is about 20 minutes walk from the beach. Furthermore,Booking and the hotel have miss leaded us completely, we booked a bungalow with two beds and when we arrived, there was no availability since they only have one bungalow, they deffo need to look into this issue, we were not the only ones with the same problem so maybe check with the hotel before booking. Finally, bare in mind that they charge a extra fee if you wanna pay by card.

Nice place. Simple. Very Clean

Everything was great.
