Guest Reviews

• Vanessa Kasemera (10/5): - Blue Moon really went above our expectations and that very much thanks to all the staff! The resort in it self is stunning and located so you really get to relax and enjoy. The jetty was amazing and we spent a lot of time there, but everyone working from the front desk, to resturant, to managers and housekeeping was so warm and welcoming! It really made and impact! It was bittersweet leaving this place, but we will most definitely be back sooner than later.
• Uzma (10/5): - Staff was amazing. Room was very clean and tidy. Made our stay very memorable and we had an amazing time. We will defo visit again.
• jean-michel (2/5): - * Access: bumpy road to access the hotel. * Violation of privacy: the general manager entered the room with his own key without knocking / saying hi / saying sorry / saying goodbye, while we were resting in bed. We complained twice at the reception, but received no feedback / apology from the manager. This is clearly unacceptable. * Bathroom: urine smell in the toilets. * Services: no activities proposed.
• Bryan (10/5): - Wunderschönes Resort mit herausragendem Management Unser Aufenthalt im Blue Moon Resort begann leider nicht ganz so positiv, doch das änderte sich schnell, nachdem wir ein Gespräch mit dem jungen und äußerst ehrgeizigen Manager sowie dem Inhaber und seiner Frau führen konnten. Dieses Gespräch bleibt uns in sehr positiver Erinnerung, denn selten haben wir erlebt, dass sich jemand so sehr um die Bedürfnisse der Gäste kümmert. Der Manager zeigt ein beeindruckendes Engagement, und auch die Inhaberfamilie ist äußerst freundlich und macht deutlich, wie sehr ihnen das Resort am Herzen liegt. Wir haben unsere Flitterwochen hier verbracht und uns für das große Zimmer mit Innen- und Außenpool entschieden – eine Wahl, die wir jedem nur empfehlen können. Der Außenpool ist groß und hat die perfekte Tiefe, um sowohl zu entspannen als auch richtig zu schwimmen. Zudem wurde das gesamte Zimmer mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, was sich unter anderem an der hochwertigen Musikanlage zeigt, die mit mehreren Lautsprechern verbunden ist und für ein tolles Klangerlebnis sorgt. Nach unserem etwas holprigen Start (der mit Mitarbeitern zu tun hatte, die mittlerweile nicht mehr dort arbeiten und daher nicht weiter thematisiert wird) konnten wir unsere Zeit in diesem traumhaft gelegenen Resort in vollen Zügen genießen. Die Kulisse ist atemberaubend, das Essen wird täglich frisch zubereitet und schmeckt hervorragend. Besonders gefallen hat uns das Freizeitangebot mit Jetskis, Kanus und Pedalos.
• Matthew (10/5): Relaxing Stay - We planned to stay at Blue Moon Resort for three nights but loved it so much that we extended our stay. The staff were friendly, hardworking, and welcoming. Check-in was simple, and we got a tour before heading to our private pool room, which was clean, spacious, and quiet. The pool was surrounded by large palm trees, making it incredibly relaxing to float and watch them sway. The room had a minibar, Netflix, and an Alexa station, and housekeeping cleaned it daily. A couple of minor issues: the wardrobe only had four hangers, which wasn’t enough, and the shower temperature fluctuated between hot and cold every 30 seconds. The restaurant overlooked the sea and served great food. I had local traditional meals, and one night, a BBQ buffet with live music created a lively atmosphere. Breakfast was à la carte, and the vegetarian option was excellent, with fresh avocado, stir-fried vegetables, and pineapple juice. The grounds were well-maintained and peaceful. We loved relaxing on the jetty and swimming in the warm, calm sea. The beach was rocky, but we visited a Maasai shop nearby. Bring cash (USD), as the card machine had issues. My wife had a reasonably priced full-body massage. The dogs and cats were tame, but a monkey on a lead seemed unfairly restricted.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastisk sted! - Blue Moon Resort er et fantastisk sted for ro og avslapning. Den idylliske beliggenheten, rene og romslige rom, og den vakre yetien gjør det til et perfekt valg. Maten er smakfull, og servicen er super – personalet gjør alt for at du skal trives. Et sted vi gjerne besøker igjen!
• Maya (10/5): - The location is calm and peaceful. Away from the noise. Staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be welcoming. Room was beautiful.
• Sarah (10/5): - Perfect, we really enjoy. Thanks to the team
• Tomas (8/5): Decent 4 star hotel. - The staff is great! Very friendly and service minded. They are the best about this place. The food is good but not amazing. Another issue regarding eating, is that there is no restaurant close by. We ended up using a taxi taking us to other places to eat. Expect bout 10 minutes by car to some good restaurants. One night the managed decided to get some things fixed, problem was that this was close to midnight and for about 1 hour there was a lot of noise when we wanted to sleep. I went to complain, the manager just said "sorry" and kept the workers continuing to make the noise. This is why I cannot give top rating. Another thing to be aware of, is that the water in the shower and fauset is salt water! So if this is an issue for you, you might consider other place to stay.
• antoinette (6/5): More like “Blue Bugs” - This is going to be a lengthy one, however, if you are interested in staying at here, this will possibly be the only review that is need. For starters, the ride is about an hour and a half away from the airport, which we were aware of. The scenery is beautiful, roads are pretty bumpy but nontheless, it’s beautiful. Upon arrival to the hotel, we assumed we were being kidnapped because the hotel is in an alley on an extremely rocky road with absolutely nothing surrounding it besides trash & wild animals. We were even afraid to leave the van. However, once inside, the grounds are beautiful! Staff is amazing, pools are cleaned daily, food is great & the grounds are very clean. The 3 stars come in when we entered our room. If you are not a fan of insects, do NOT stay here. You will not sleep peacefully! After waking around the room to check things out, we came around tons of dead insects, termites were visibly chewing away at wooden baskets in the bathroom, you can see the wood dropping little by little, huge spiders & dead worms were on the sink, crickets were everywhere, we were killing insects & the robes were as hard as the wooden baskets. I decided to lay on the bed & read my kindle since it was pretty late & the pillows had tons of dead bugs on them. While reading my kindle, I felt something drop on my chest. It was a WORM! The ceilings are decorated with tree trucks and worms constantly fell from the ceiling. We stayed for 3 nights & I am still suffering from insomnia.
• Kurt Eduard (8/5): - Das Resort hat noch Ausbau- Potential. Wassereinbruch im Badezimmer. Es wurde sofort reagiert und ich bekam eine andere Villa Das Essen ist ausgezeichnet
• Allen T (8/5): - Very nice and quiet, the water and lights goes out quite a bit here, always a low tide so swimming is not possible shoreline coved in sharped rocks, Paje is a much better area and magnificent beach please go there, not much here in blue moon.. very nice people here, if your looking for peace and quiet maybe then this blue moon is for you.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastisk! - Fantastisk sted, veldig rolig og behagelig med egen brygge og fine basseng. Personalet og eiere var fantastiske.
• Berra (10/5): - Overall, very satisfied with our stay at the Blue Moon Resort. We stayed for 9 nights in the suite with a private pool on a full board basis. On the first day, we arrived at 8:00 am. It was indeed early, but we had to wait until 3:00 pm. We were exhausted from a long trip. A hotel should be able to accommodate guests by noon, which is the norm. For a supposedly luxurious room, it felt a bit outdated. The wardrobe was very small, with doors that didn't close properly. The hotel really needs to implement a ventilation system, there's an unpleasant smell in the room and the bathroom... The positives of the hotel: it's extremely peaceful. Ideal for those seeking relaxation and a private beach with fewer people. The restaurant is à la carte. The dishes are delicious, fresh, high-quality, and presented very meticulously, something rarely seen in a full board hotel ! But hope you are patient, it takes 1.5 to 2 hours sometimes to have a meal because of the time taken for ordering and preparing the dishes. It's not a big deal in the evening, but it's inconvenient at noon when we want to make the most of their time. The music is perfect, classy and not disco ambiance ! (If that's what you're looking for, you should consider Nungwi's hotels). The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable. The staff is very attentive and truly cares about your comfort. We want to thank the staff for their kindness and responsiveness, with a special thanks to Swahiba! We will probably come back.
• Alessio (10/5): - Struttura fantastica immersa nel verde con spiaggia privata, molto tranquilla un vero paradiso
• julien (4/5): - Établissement éloigné de tout, prix exorbitants. Le prix de l’hôtel est loin de la prestation attendue sur place. Inconfortable, les lits sur dure comme le sol. Pas d’entretien dé l’extérieur, les chambre sont vraiment mal entretenues et pas au niveau de la qualité attendue. Seul point positif la piscine et le personnel vraiment top.
• Youssef (10/5): - Très bon voyage, personnel bienveillant
• zaki (10/5): - Very nice and welcoming staff
• Michael (6/5): - Internet issues. Bad connection
• Amna (8/5): - The place is fabulous, quite Weather is nice you can see all seasons in one day The resort is quite and nice There are some small details the resort need to consider like: 1- water in room .. 2 bottles for a day is not enough and shouldn’t be chargeable if I need more. 2- the need to install Shattaf in bathroom since many muslims visit this resort. 3- the water in the bathroom is salty 4- must provide tissue in the room
• Robert (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay very much. Other than my now fiancé(I proposed there), Ayubu was the highlight of my stay. He was gracious, kind, always smiling, and always uplifting and upbeat of a host. I’ll definitely come back here for my wedding if he is still there!
• MARIA ELEFTHERIA (10/5): Amazing resort, amazing facilities, amazing staff! - Our stay at Blue Moon Resort was something more than perfect. This place is a paradise on earth! The facilities are excellent, you can spend your whole day at the resort. The view to the ocean was marvelous, the rooms spacious and super clean. Also the staff was incredible they literally trying to make you feel like home and being super polite and friendly! I highly recommend this place for your vacation in Zanzibar.
• Lorena (10/5): - El lugar espectacular. Las intaclaciones tal cual aparecen en las fotos, lindas, bien mantenidas, bien decoradas. La comida excelente. El servicio impecable
• Eric (10/5): - Loved it
• Yassine (8/5): - Hôtel presque parfait je noterait un défaut mais très important la literie à revoir les matelas sont de très mauvaise qualité c’est dommage.

• Saynab (10/5): - Nice place to relax and enjoy the moment. Very friendly and welcoming staff. breath taking view.
• Sarbest (10/5): Very good place to stay!! - The Resort was better then excepted. I recommend this place a lot for those who just want to have a good time to relax. Quiet place, and nice. Had only one problem with the electricity last night, but think that is fixed now. They have a lot to offer on activities for couple or families. One other thing is that they have a lot of hot water for shower. Have been in many places in Tanzania, but had little availability of hot water for shower. One thing is that the water had really salty taste.
• ACHRAF (10/5): Un havre de paix ! - Tout était parfait du début à la fin, du petit déjeuner au diner, de la villa avec piscine privée à la magnifique plage. L'hôtel est implanté dans un jardin tropical bien entretenu. On a l'impression d'être en pleine jungle, ideal pour se ressourcer. Un grand merci aux personnels très sympathiques et à disposition pour qu'on passe un merveilleux sejour. Durant nos 5 jours nous avons pu profiter d'une plage à marée qui offre tout son charme. Nous avons pu rencontrer des pêcheurs locaux et participer à la pêche aux poulpes et poissons. Le panton avec la piscine est un grand plus. Si vous souhaitez passer un sejour au calme et en contact direct avec la nature le Blue Moon hôtel est l'adresse incontournable à Zanzibar.
• Dragos (10/5): Il meglio che si può avere in Zanzibar super - Siamo stati accolti da Marina ,molto gentile mi ha aiutato ad organizzare il compleanno di mia moglie in stile Africano ,anche il marito molto disponibile che ci ha serviti per ogni capriccio. Hotel bellissimo fatto con gusto moderno europeo con il paesaggio magnifico di Zanzibar,nel territorio ci sono scimmie e animali che rendono il tutto selvaggio e magnifico. Colazione per tutti i gusti con una buonissima varietà di frutta. Personale sempre sorridente e disponibile , sul loro ci sono varie attività dai quod alle barca a noleggio. Davvero molto consigliato
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Resort super calmo, staff super atencioso, natureza no seu melhor
• Jeje (10/5): - Lavue depuis la piscine sur la mer et la restauration
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We liked quality of the furniture around the pool area. We had a pool room that was lovely and spacious inside and out although the beds are a little firm for our liking. Everywhere was very clean and well tendered. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Down side is its a little isolated and quite expensive to get anywhere by taxi. The quad bikes are an excellent idea but we found them overpriced for the 4 hours you got.
• Luca (10/5): - Ottimo posto ottimo personale e cortesia, tutti gentili! Ambienti ampi e puliti!
• WAEL (10/5): Top - Superbe hôtel. Personnels très accueillants. Un vrai bonheur.

• Olivier (8/5): Good place - Defiitely a nice place. Very good food although a little expensive. Check out time at 10am is really too early!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Small friendly resort very well run The pool area is really nice with a large pool, rooms are very spacious and spotlessly clean. As there is nothing much around the resort most people stayed on at nighr to eat and good was excellent. The best thing about the resort is the staff they are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble by the time you leave you feel like family.

• Verified traveler (10/5): - Tres bien jai trouvé que tous était parfait bravo a la direction
• Sergio (10/5): - Resaltar especialmente el trato recibido. El Resort tiene unas instalaciones muy buenas; todo muy limpio. El restaurante y el bar son inmejorables
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I loved staying at Blue Moon Resort. However, I wish they had communicated that there is no beach at the resort. It would also be great to have a bigger menu.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Área da piscina e praia muito organizada. Funcionários sempre solícitos e o mais importante comida maravilhosa. Não posso comer glúten e eles foram super atenciosos comigo fazendo comidas apropriadas e gostosas.
• MARIUS ROBERT (10/5): Amazing! - Everything perfect! Marina, Francesca, Antonello and all the staff were super hosts, like a family for us! They advice and help us to discover Zanzibar and a big flexibilty for all our requirements. The room has everything that you could need and the food was so good. If i will go back one day to this country, for sure will be in this resort
• Pavel (10/5): Вкусная еда, тишина и релакс! - Отель расположен в часе езды от аэропорта, до него Вам могут предоставить трансфер - машину с кондиционером, что очень важно после всей этой бумажной волокиты в аэропорту ;)) По приезду Вас встречают, провожают на ресепшен и предлагают приветственные прохладительные напитки )) Номер уютный, ничего лишнего, всё как на фото, единственно чего не видно, так это большой сейф в шкафу, наверное ноутбук дюймов 15ть влезет ;) Пляжная зона - много лежаков, различные пуфики и для посидеть и для полежать, подвесные гамаки, бассейн, вообщем всё как на фото ;) любителям покупаться в океане, лучше привезти с собой - коралловые тапочки, одел и иди купайся! Не надо говорить и писать что тут это невозможно сделать! Ещё на этом (Восточном) побережье очень большие отливы и стоит прогуляться и посмотреть на подводный мир ) можно сделать очень много красивых фотографий )) Отдельно хочется сказать про ресторан! Там работает самый лучший повар на Занзибаре! )) Еда очень вкусная, разнообразная и обалденные подачи блюд )) не стоит кушать одно и то же каждый день, нужно пробовать всё, особенно где есть морепродукты ;) На все вопросы и пожелания - Вам всегда ответят и помогут! Так же отель предоставляет интересные и безопасные экскурсии ;) Вообщем кто любит вкусную еду, тишину и релакс, Вам сюда ;) Хочется сказать огромное спасибо Всем, Всем сотрудникам отеля, Владельцам, за проведённые 13 дней в этом удивительном месте *) Мы уже скучаем…((
