3 star hotels in Tanzania

Everything's good, but the rooms look a bit on the economical side, though that's a matter of taste. The internet is a real problem; it's slow and barely available in most rooms.

Very nice private beach-terrace 

Everything was fine until we realized our room had another door leading to another room. This meant zero privacy and you can literally hear what’s happening in the next room.

Zanzibar was amazing. the bungalow was ok best part was it been situated on the beach and the friendly staff made the stay worth it. the services of Samera at the front desk was top notch.

It is a nice and clean place, especially if you have a room facing the sea the view is stunning. The room's interior is beautiful, but very basic. The beds are good, yet a bit short. The service is friendly but very slow. The breakfast is ok but below standard, also the food ordered from the menu doesn't go beyond "ok". Avoid breakfast boxes prepared by the hotel to take along on an excursion. They...

I personally think that the area is very peaceful and mindful. Slay! However, compared to the price of stay per night; I could have got better accommodation options in Asia. The bathroom was okay and the room facility was also not splendid for the price. On the other hand, it has a nice swimming pool close to the beach. In conclusion, the value for money is not satisfactory.

Amazing Resort, amazing people working there, great food, big clean room, own private beach with big space, beautiful garden. Just amazing experiance of Zanzibar. Tanzanite Beach resort is place where You want to come back as soon is possibile!

It was a lovely experience, the restaurant and bar can be under stocked at times. The communication on full board was not very clear so we ended up paying more afterwards. The hotel is super clean and staff are friendly

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The place is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful, with many different areas where you can relax and truly unwind. The swimming pool is lovely, and the staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and caring throughout the stay. The hotel is located just a little outside the city center, but honestly, that’s what makes it perfect. The city center is very busy and crowded...

Myself and my wife visited zanzibar in dec 2025.we booked at Tanzanite beach resort for 7 nights.We had an experience like never before the management and staff made our stay memorable as the service we received was on a personalized and very friendly basis. We would visit Tanzanite beach resort again in the future.we recommend when visiting zanzibar to book at Tanzanite beach resort. A big shout out...

It was amazing! Great views of the sea, picturesque places, lovely breakfast and super friendly stuff! Really enjoyed my stay there and want to express great thanks from the whole group!! You feel like you are in the heaven, rooms are also wide and internet is fast! You have everything you need!!

Tanzanite Beach Resort is located right on the beach with a stunning view of the sea! You have direct access to the beach front. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful with anything you need. The atmosphere is fun and really enjoyable. The rooms are very neat and equipped with an aircon. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are cleaned every day. They also decorate the bed which is really...

I stayed at this hotel for one day, but that was enough to evaluate the service. My impressions were good, but there were some niggles. The hotel is available via WhatsApp, which is good. If you need a transfer from the airport to the hotel, they can arrange it for $40. They will answer questions, although not immediately, but they do respond. Unfortunately, late check-in and check-out are common on...

Good hotel, decent location. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, and shops are all within walking distance. It's a very lively area, fun and vibrant! The hotel staff are super friendly, and I really enjoyed the dinners. Maybe not the best beach nearby, but you can easily book tours to go wherever you want.

Everything is great! It's very quiet and peaceful after Nungwe! The only thing is there's no kettle or refrigerator.

We are just leaving Zenobia and we are truly sad to see it go. All of the staff were fantastic - Bella & Gloria at the front office, Richard, Enos, Halima, Schola, Salma in the restaurant and Respikius and Marko as the friendly security. The housekeeping even helped us celebrate our anniversary in style. Location is a 10/10.

I had the pleasure of staying at Zenobia Beach Resort and the experience was truly positive. From the very first moment, the staff was very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, making me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful, ideal for resting and enjoying myself. One of the things...

All the staff members can't be this kind! Starting from check-in, they ask if there's anything missing or if you need anything, and try to help you in any way they can. There were some other reviews that pointed out the facilities, but I didn't agree with them. In fact, most African hotels use sponge mattresses, but this one had a proper mattress, and they also provided towels and beach towels, and...

We loved it! A place full of charm and quirkyness, perfect for people who don’t want shiny marble and inpersonal perfection. Right on top of the turqoise beach, overlooking the sea. Quiet sunbed area without vendors. Friendly staff, and the great Rastafari owner, a former drummer for a variety of great artists, was a true character. Chatted with us all, and baked lovely cakes every day for breakfast...

Dated property but clean and comfortable, great view and location

We stayed here in June 2025. The hotel is wonderful, the rooms are large and well-maintained. There are rooms in the garden next to the pool, and there are rooms with ocean views. The view from them is stunning. Breakfasts are ordinary, quite decent. From the restaurant there is a direct descent into the ocean. Beach towels are provided, changed if necessary.

We spent a month at Langi Langi in Nov/December 2024. We had a fantastic time and this was due largely to the wonderful staff. Pauline on reception was the first person we met, on reception and she was so friendly. All the staff were very friendly and polite. The rooms were so clean, and comfortable. The restaurant had the best view, and the food was beautiful, fresh and home cooked. We often had fish...

Great place, most friendly people all staff is like family. Much recommended 👌. Food is also excellent, and you get the most beautiful sunset on their terrace.

To say we have been in heaven staying in this hotel is an understatement. This hotel was our first after arriving in Zanzibar, the view as you are walking in to the restaurant it's just divine. If you are thinking about booking this place please do not think again, just book you won't be disappointed The food the tastes the staff the rooms , cleaning etc It's all 5 star I'm surprised they don't have...

Nice hotel with budget pricing.

Great place, amazing people 😄

The hotel rooms are spacious with balconies and the location of the hotel is in the middle of stone town easy access to everything

Nice staff I arrived after dinner, and they thought I was a no-show so they gave up my premium room. The next day they moved me to a nice room. The place itself is definitely not fancy. But the staff were all super nice and helpful. The people in Zanzibar are pretty nice and fantastic though, so there’s that.

The hotel is on the roadside, next to a school, and quite noisy. The facilities are old, there is only soap in the bathroom, the smell in the room is not very friendly, and the most important thing is that the price is very high, and the cost performance is very low.

its a hotel locaited at town near to stone town city, Zanzibar urban town cuty, its lively place with 5 star service, not far from airport and also very near to port.

Really nice place. Enjoyed it tue most of all places I've stayed in dar es salaam

The hotel is very easily accessible right in the heart of the city. They have different options for their rooms which are a good size, clean and the quality of sleep is good because it is not situated in a noisy area. Food is also very good and the staff are friendly and willing to accommodate the client's needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Best customer care, cleanliness and price friendly

I recommend it to those who are in need for comfortable and affordable hotel.

The hotel is very nice, but it has currently lost its appeal. It is visited by very few people. Overall, it provides good service.

Exceptional customer service and location is very convinient

This is a good hotel becouse if you're looking for wifi, they will give you a code. Use it then you all have free wifi they have swimming pools both shallow and deep so if you like swimming this is the place

I have been a guest many times as a walk-in. I have good experience with the restaurant and foods. Pools are good both for adult and kids. Swimming in the ocean is may not be satisfying because of trash yet it’s beyond the hotel.

A big thank you to the entire team and management of Giraffe Hotel. I truly enjoyed my stay—everything was perfect, from the warm hospitality to the great service. It’s a solid 10/10 experience, and I’ll definitely recommend it to others. Keep up the amazing work!” Dear Jeremiah, I would like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful hospitality during my stay at Giraffe Hotel. You made everything...

Generally a nice hotel and facility. Here are a few thoughts though. 1. Beach: A lovely beach, but, unfortunately lots of trash. This is of course, beyond the hotel's complete control, but perhaps they need more machinery to keep it in check. 2. Restaurant: decent food, friendly staff, a nice and comfortable indoor/outdoor setting as the breeze comes off the ocean. 3. Room: comfortable, a good bed...

I didn’t stay at the hotel, but I spent a good chunk of time there enjoying the restaurant, pool, and the overall vibe — and here’s the real tea: Restaurant: Honestly, the food was decent. Nothing too fancy, but solid enough for a casual lunch or dinner. The menu had a good variety — local dishes and some international stuff — but don’t go in expecting a five-star culinary experience. Service was...

Lovely hotel with a wonderful restaurant. Very friendly staff specially Mr.Ram, Mr.vamshi & Mr.Bharath .Food is great👌 Excellent property 👍.Ocean front, gorgeous pool areas, beautiful bar and restaurant, excellent service👌 Thanks for the team🤗

Everything was very nice. I had a suite which was spacious, clean, good WiFi and AC as well as tea and coffee in the room and a bathtub! Great view overlooking the pool and ocean in the distance!

Clean rooms, great food, professional staff, very friendly, beautiful grounds, the pools are perfect and beautiful views. There was a wedding, Wow, that wedding party was magnificent. Everyone was just beautiful. There was also a corporate retreat happening. Everyone was having a great time. Music started off loud then faded to a nice level, and ended at a reasonable hour. Oh, the price of our stay...

Staff really nice and good, hotel also clean, but the hotel conditions very very poor. Elevators Chinise made are at high risk Pool water are Brown color I just post some eloquents photos of the Hotel

It's OK. It's the best hotel in Tanga.

The staff are the real asset manager MrFiroz solved my issues and was so helpfull and I thank him for the free upgrade which I really appreciated.

It is one of the best resorts in Tanga city, Tanzania. The place offers good food and the resort has gym, pool and wide open area for parties. The rooms were spacious and comfy and the location could be conveniently accessed. Overall experience was good and I recommend for family as well

This hotel used to be one of the most visited and loved by many. But during this crisis, they going through it has become empty.

Decent hotel! Location is great. Easily accessible. The doors are huge to enable easy passage of wheelchairs. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful always. There is a swimming pool area within the hotel. The reception area is beautifully designed with a lot of paintings and sculptures that are spread around the hotel. The accomodation is pocket friendly. #Letsguide

We stayed here for lunch! Was realy tasty! The waiter were very polite! I forgot my bag and they brought it to me, when I just entered my car. Very honest. Thank you!!! Good value for money!!

Good hotel with average rated services the best attraction is Indian Restaurant. Rooms are average but look old fashioned. 9am-9pm Spy and Massage by Lotus Spa. Big size swimming pool however u need courage to dive in as climate of arusha is just too cold even in summer.

Located at the centre of Arusha City. Impala is among the first choice for people travelling in Arusha and nearby regions which are heart of tourism industry in Tanzania East Africa. You may ask yourself, Why this hotel? Here are few things to mention that make Impala among the best in town. 1. Location (a little bit outside the town? 2. Convenient spaces 3. Diversions *Bar, *Restaurant, ...

It is a classic hotel that provide all necessary services. Has nice food, you change your cash also has massage service, conference facility etc

We visited Namaste Restaurant as a family and Denis took care of us. He was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout our visit. He made sure everything was perfect and checked in on us regularly. Great service like his makes all the difference. Highly recommend!

The food at Namaste was very tasty and the spices were very mild. Dennis' was serving us always wearing an engageous smile and always helpful. Dennis has been professional everyday.

Zanzibar is simply MIND-BLOWING place. When I was making my research about hotels in the island, Paradise Beach Resort definitely called my attention for all its offered benefits and facilities such as the All Inclusive package, daily entertainment shows, different bars and pools to enjoy. I came alone and staying in a nice place where all my necessities are being taking care of is my number one priority...

The hotel is located on a beautiful, sandy beach❤️. The views in the morning are breathtaking, and the ocean is an incredible turquoise. You can walk for miles❤️. The staff is an absolute treasure of this place❤️. Everyone is incredibly friendly, smiling, and helpful. After a few days, the bartenders already knew our favorite drinks. Their hospitality makes you feel special. The meals were delicious...

Its very goth resort the people or very Guys especially latifa in restaurant she is kind and good heart.. Also we like the environment and the beach

I went to Zanzibar for family holidays and this property was perfect for the occasion. room was spotless and comfortable, good selection of drinks in the bar, food was amazing and staff super friendly. highly recommend if you’re going to Zanzibar.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience, and a big part of it was thanks to the amazing team. Director Francesco runs everything with great professionalism, passion, and attention to detail. You can really feel his leadership in the smooth organization and welcoming atmosphere. A special mention goes to the animators Ugo, Nino, and Ercole — they were simply fantastic! Always energetic, friendly,...

Hotel Palumbo Waves, definitely not a 4 star hotel, unsatisfactory towels, the bathroom only with 2 small shampoos, the rooms without a TV (you pay €200 and they give you a room with a TV) the beach is far away, but they have a hotel shuttle service! The positive things; The manager very friendly and helpful. The reception guys always smiling and available. All the staff, waiters, cleaning ladies,...

I had a really good time, incredible staff.. Nino, Il Biondo, Ultimo and Biaggio the strongest and nicest entertainers, they love their job and know how to make you laugh. Piccolino the sweetest and nicest of all, organizes TOP excursions. The staff is very kind and above all very good at welcoming their customers. The food is GODLY. There will be no shortage of opportunities to come back. Excellent...

I stayed at this resort for New Year's Eve, a week. Aside from the structure itself, very clean and the varied and excellent food, I was amazed by the people (so affectionate that I shed a few tears when I left): real people, clean, cheerful, always available and attentive (for example, I am gluten intolerant and the chefs every evening, when the situation arises, were careful to tell me what I could...

I was in this resort during Christmas 2024 with my partner and it was wonderful. The essential location is very characteristic, contained in size as we like it. You eat very well and the staff is very kind and prepared. Too bad there is no Hard all inclusive and therefore alcohol must be paid for. The transfer to the beach via vans (Lalla Lalla) is very nice and in a few minutes passing through a typical...

In order: Welcome 10 and praise. Smiling, serene staff, beautiful visual impact. Large, very clean room, no problems ever encountered. Breakfast and dinner in the facility, wide choice, homely flavors, not too much but not too little either. Just right. If you expect ham in the morning, just wait. We are in Africa on a 99% Islamic island. But you won't miss it. Road to the sea made on the DALA DALA...

Overall a decent place to stay. Rooms were clean, staff were largely friendly. Food in the restaurant was good but the service varied from slow to abysmal.

Cool place 💤🛜👍 Value of money 💯 A place to be ✅ Better view of mountains So delicous food ie:- fish makange,local makange (chicken) indian food Breakfast morng english buffet with live cooking homelet #scrammbel#spanish Fresh juice 🫶 Clean enviroment Cool view of town city🌌🌇🌆

Its location is very convenient, fablulous rooms and impeccable dining and services offered I had a great time, enjoyed a lot

Anyway, the room was spacious and comfortable.

Well staffed, clean and affordable. Kitchen (lunch and dinner) was slow but not a problem. Breakfast included was a buffet. Internet was somewhat problematic but workable. Good laundry and ironing service.

The location is easily accessible. The staff are friendly and sharp. Rooms are spacious, calm with great standards. Loved the variety of food during breakfast, Loved it! Price is trully affordable with regard to the standards of the place. I jus wish it was outside the city with varities like pool and garden & Outsiede garden.. Overall the place is Marvellous!

The place is just okay. It's Livable and Offers the minimum confort

A wonderful place to stay with well-designed, comfortable rooms and a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant is excellent, offering a great selection of beer, spirits, and wine, along with fresh fruits, natural juices+ quality coffee. What truly stands out is the outstanding customer service—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the stay. Highly recommended.

is a popular hotel located in the *Manzese* area of *Dar es Salaam*, Tanzania. It is known for providing affordable and comfortable accommodation, attracting both local and international travelers. Below is a detailed description of the hotel, including its services, amenities, and price range: --- *Hotel Overview:* - *Location*: Silver Paradise Hotel is located in the *Manzese* area, a popular...

My family and I had a great experience at silver paradise hotel. The staff was attentive, professional and kind. The rooms were clean, there is daily housekeeping which maintains the good quality of the rooms. The hotel is doing a great job. The Food was great. The roads closer to the hotel were not great. The hotel need to inform guests that they need to order their food 45 minutes to an hour before...

Loud music from nearby pub's made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Good service and food. Stil recomend the hotel.

Outstanding and precise location featuring the best dsm view also hihg quality and disciplined workers MORE LOVE

Good value, nice clean hotel, quiet location, not many food options around but the Wildebeest restaurant next door was good for a local (but good for westerners) food and cheap beers. Good breakfast for Africa. Would stay again.

Everything was superb. The room was clean and well organized, the location was close to the airport and the bed was good too. Everything about my stay was perfect. Upon arrival i was shown to my room which was fabulous, very spacious and adorable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with a variety of african and European meals. Absolutely would recommend.

The best experience i had in Arusha. I arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport and the rest was an awesome experience from arrival to departure. Thanks to the hotel management for making the hotel more convenient for guests to experience the African culture. You won’t find a better place to stay at this price. Good rooms, staff and peaceful .

The Hotel ist OK to stay one night before a Safari. Rooms and beds very average, WiFi very bad. Price for food and Drinks fair

This resort was booked and included as part of my safari and day trips with Suricata Safaris. The resort itself is fairly large and includes a pool, lounge, bar, and restaurant with the usual amenities of WiFi, room service, small shop, and more. The rooms were in need of some refurbishment but everything was operational and clean. My room included bottled water, coffee and tea, a large comfortable...

Good service and hospitality is great and wonderful. The weather was fine and the room services also. Thank you so much and see you next time

From the moment we arrived the experience was exceptional. The property is amazing, the people are unbelievably kind, and display their passion through their work/service to the guest.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Arusha Serena Hotel for two nights. The room we had was quiet, well appointed, clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautifully landscaped, large and inviting. There is a courtyard area to enjoy drinks and a roaring fire in the evening. The walking trails that crisscrossed the grounds provided lovely views. The staff was incredible. Every need was met with a...

We arrived early and were delighted to be welcomed to our rooms upon arrival. A gardener/naturalist named Pray (sp?) provided a very informative walk though the beautiful landscaping, the kitchen gardens, and the edge of Lake Duluti, describing and explaining the flora and fauna (especially birds). Enjoyed the food at the restaurant and the rooms were very comfortable and quiet.

Pray is one of the gardeners at Arusha Serena Hotel in Tanzania, Africa. Pray lead us on an excellent tour of the grounds of the Arusha Serena Hotel. His knowledge is extensive of the plants, flowers, trees and wildlife of Tanzania. Pray had a desire to advance his career as a conservation specialist in Tanzania. He taught us so much about Tanzania.

We found this a perfect, beautiful place to enjoy our 4 days pre safari. The hotel is safe and friendly with exceptional employees. We hired our shuttle driver from the airport to take us into Arusha, which we knew little about. There he took perfect care of us, He took us to the Tanzanite Experience (informative and interesting with no high pressure sales), the Art Gallery and Cultural Center (a must...

Bottom line up front: Ask to meet Praygod and go on a wonderful adventure around the property and adjacent lake. We had a lovely 3 day stay at the Arusha Lodge before beginning our trip. When we arrived our tour director recommended a walk with the gardener, Praygod, who is a naturalist-in-training. He was such a great resource of information about the area. He was very knowledgeable about plants...

Has the best swimming pool ✨The view and environment is to die for❤️ I really give it a 10/100

You truly get what you pay for. The more you invest, the better the room and overall experience. The service was excellent and I honestly cannot complain. The staff were amazing – friendly, attentive, and professional throughout my stay. The location is also fantastic. The only area that could use improvement is the beach. It would be even better if it was cleaned more regularly, as there was quite...

Good Rooms, Good place to enjoy your day with good swimming pool & beach side, best part is that wifi is availabe everywere, good housekeeping. On weekends its bit noisy due to events.Its nearly 1 hour from Airport.

The resort is located in a very good area. They serve delicious Indian food and also cater to both Indian and other international guests. The room service is excellent, and the rooms are clean, fresh, and well maintained. The resort has a swimming pool, which is regularly cleaned and well managed. Indian songs as well as other international music are played, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere...

Very nice place , didn't experienced staying so don't want to rank it but it's very good place near city to enjoy with family and friends

Upon waking up to the beautiful beachfront view, it's hard not to feel a sense of calm and relaxation. The friendly staff members added a nice touch to the overall ambiance of the place. However, I couldn't help but feel that the rooms could have been more inviting and the furniture could have been of better quality (the desk was almost falling apart) my father in law also unfortunately got electricuted...

It's very clean and modern hotel Very comfortable extra large bed and so soft bedding material 😍. Very good location near by ferry ⛴️. Friendly and very kind staff 😀

We had a positive stay overall. Convenient location near the SGR station. Comfortable bed and great shower. Our dinner ordered from the hotel restaurant was good and came quickly, but we had to eat in our room because the AC was not on in the restaurant and it was very warm. Our booking included late check out which was helpful.

This hotel is very close to the harbor and located in a neighborhood with strong Indian-Tanzanian influences. Check-in was seamless, and I received an internet code for two days, which can only be verified on one device. Unfortunately, the connection strength on the 5th floor was a bit weak, causing the connection to drop occasionally. The windows aren't airtight, which is clearly noticeable from the...

Staff was great. Main room lights don’t switch off unless you remove the card for power and that way the aircon doesn’t run

I don't know why this hotel is written as JAL Building in Chinese. Anyone could think it is a Japan Airlines hotel. However, after checking in, I found that there seemed to be no connection. When I asked the staff, they also said they didn't know what the connection was with Japan Airlines. Isn't this translation too horrible? Will it involve copyright issues?

In the old town, very close to the pier, 10 minutes walk. The surrounding environment is noisy and chaotic, but this is also the daily state in Dar es Salaam. The hotel room is small and cramped, but overall it is clean and has hot water. It is particularly worth mentioning that the boss is very nice. They are very welcoming to Chinese tourists. After we checked out, they offered to rent a room for...

It was a memorable experience . The staff and food was so good. The safety and and swimming pool experience was also good.

Location and rooms are very good and food is exceptional. Atmosphere is also good and staff is very cooperative and understandable.

Excellent experience and good service with enjoyment Food was also very good Specially Raju was very good, Polite and humble

Very delightful service and room serve by them …. Veg food quality is also good Special thanks to Mr Raju I was stay 1 week and enjoy

Location and rooms are very good and food is exceptional. Atmosphere is also good and staff is very cooperative and understandable.

The hotel was in a prime location, very close to everything. The hotel staff were very welcoming and helped with all of our needs including booking a tour to visit the falls. The rooms were large and I enjoyed how each one was its own entity. It was fantastic waking up and seeing monkeys roaming around the open space outside.

The quilt and pillow have a strange smell. The bathroom is relatively clean. The facilities and equipment are not new, but they can all be used normally

Certainly one of the better and safer places to be. Nice big rooms. Great staff. Hotel needs minor maintenance but certainly our group was happy with the hotel.

Good condition with full of service ,Tanga

Works for a last minute resort, the upside was the breakfast rooms and service I wouldn't say the same. It's just an okay place.

Rooms are clean and tidy. Only downside it it feels little too darker. Also room service is slower.

Good hotel, air-condition (AC) works well but for that service and the quality of the room and the beds they should reduce the price

It's located in urban centre near large shopping malls (Mlimani city) and the transport system is well suited for movement to any part of Dar es salaam city.

Only limited restaurant services. Being near the main road, the area doesn't provide a humble rest, because of the regular noise. Otherwise it's a nice place with friendly staff like Zena. Thank you all for giving me memorable moments.

The Land Mark Hotel offers a solid and enjoyable stay for its guests, distinguishing itself with several noteworthy features. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, a testament to the hotel's commitment to comfort and hospitality. The staff at the Land Mark Hotel are commendable for their professionalism and eagerness to assist, making every effort to ensure guests feel...

The staff are nice and friendly . I specially commend Kissa the receptionist, Elizabeth and Allen in the Kitchen, Elizabeth room service and Stephen. The manager is a very considerate woman. Thank you all for giving me a memorable stay.

Excellent service, beautiful rooms and the price value is just OMG. However be aware that this hotel is at an extremely poor district and without a taxi/tuktuk you might feel unsafe, especially after sunset.
