3 star hotels in Tanzania

Great place to have a night before or after hiking to Uluguru mountain also price is reasonable from room with I enjoyed the amazing view of Uluguru mountain thanks a lot really recommend this place.

For the price, this is a very good hotel. It has large rooms with a comfortable bed and mosquito netting. The shower had plenty of hot water. It is located in CBD but is quiet. The one deficiency is the breakfast. It is lackluster, especially with serving instant coffee. No fruit juice either.

-6.82478°, 37.67119° The Oasis Hotel on Station Road in Morogoro, run by an Indian family from Gujarat, has received mixed reviews from guests, reflecting different experiences. The hotel's location is often praised, with many guests appreciating its proximity to key areas in Morogoro. Several reviews highlight the friendly and welcoming staff. Some guests noted that the owner made an effort to make...

Easily one of the best hotels I've ever been to. Amazing experience, everything felt luxurious and the service was amazing. The owner is so friendly and really made me feel at home. 10/10 would visit again

Great service with a smile. Food not bad. Good place to relax

Nice place with Swimming pool... good food and service

We did not stay at this hotel but 5 stars go entirely to the male staff member standing at the entrance to the hotel today ! We got a little lost during our Stone Town exploration and required some redirection and this staff member took time out of his day to provide us with directions and also reorientate our maps. Thank you 😊

Located perfectly in the centre of Stone Town, really near Fredy Mercury’s house. The building has a cool vintage look and feel, and is well maintained. The rooms are spacious and some have a view. The lobby and corridors are full of art and green. The rooftop restaurant is perfect for breakfasts, the views there open up. We were warmly welcomed by the team and the owner Johnson, who made sure our...

Great staff! The location is perfect for exploring the city and the rooms are really big. The AC worked well and there's was a mosquito net. Highly recommended!

Decent clean hotel. Has wifi, free breakfast and air conditioning. Thr rooftop restaurant is quite nice with a beautiful view.

Really beautiful place in the center, walking distance from almost everything! I loved the breakfast that comes included in the price and the hospitality of the receptionist! The only thing is the wifi does not work in the 3rd floor and the hotwater does not work in the bathroom as weel.

Good location (closer to the center), very safe at night. Friendly and very helpful staffs. There were always check that we did not need anything. It was very nice of them and it made me feel more comfortable. Cleanliness is fine but room could be refresh as they looks a little bit outdated. Food was very good, we spent a lot of time on the rooftop (breakfast, having snacks and drinks late afternoon...

Nice hotel in center of dar er salaam, really close to train station and facilities

A great place to relax after a busy day out. Everything in the room worked perfectly. Free wifi and TV. The restaurant is clean and the excellent cuisine

I stayed at Wiyolis Hong Kong Hotel for a week. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated. However, the quality of the rooms was disappointing. We had to change rooms three times during our stay due to poor conditions. Overall, the experience was mixed — great staff but the rooms need serious improvement.

The receptionists were very loving, friendly and warm when they arrived. I felt at home from the first minute. I will always return to this hotel

The place is nice the breakfast is prepared very well, the rooms are good, customer service is friendly

Excellent service, polite staff, clean environment great food and all that at an affordable price,

"Beautiful resort with stunning views and warm hospitality. A perfect place to relax and recharge!" 🌿✨

Everything was 5 star. Friendly staff, food was amazing, rooms were clean, hot shower, breakfast was nice and free WiFi. I will definitely return and recommend to my friends and family.

The best hotel in Mbeya! Everything is great, food, people, rooms etc. My family and I always stay there when in the Mbeya region. Mr Limo is always accommodating.

Ever seen monkeys grab avocados straight from a tree and just chill above you eating them? yeah… we have 😄 big thanks to Aishi Machame for that! honestly the main thing about this place is the location — wildlife (monkeys, birds, we even saw a hornbill) just lives here like it’s their home, so you get this super calm, peaceful vibe. everything else is solid too — rooms, staff, food, all good. at first...

A cozy and quiet hotel, a great place for a short stay. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds. The laundry service is fast and of high quality — my clothes were well taken care of. Tasty food. Thanks (Ashante sana!)

I stayed at Aishi Machame while on a trip to climb Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro followed by a safari, all with Altezza. The hotel was absolutely lovely. My room was spacious and comfortable with a good shower and toiletries, drinking water, tea and coffee, mosquito net and fan. There was also a good laundry service. Breakfast was an excellent buffet and the other vegetarian food I ate was also good. The...

This hotel was the base hotel for Altezza Travel Kilimanjaro trek. The staff throughout the hotel and restaurant were very accommodating and friendly. We had to change our flight home, and they were awesome, making sure we had a room to stay in while we sorted flights out.

I went to Aishi Machame at the start of this year before I went on my Kilimanjaro expedition with Altezza Travel, and I absolutely loved the place. The food was great, the beds were comfy, and it offered the perfect stillness I needed ahead of my climb. The staff were super accommodating in making sure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend.

At first I thought the hotel before and after climbing Kilimanjaro would be just "bed - sandwich - to airport."I didn’t have any expectations. But Aishi Machame truly surprised me At this hotelyou can do much more than just sleep - you can really enjoy your time. The restaurant is excellent, with a large selection of dishes, plenty of good alcohol, and many cocktails. There is a large swimming pool...

Everything was great. The facillities was 10/10. The Nature was beautiful. But the best thing was the staff, they was all amazing and helpful. They were always happy and spoke great english. Especially the waitress called Jasmine was amazing. Would recommend everyone to visit.

A peaceful, friendly place to stay for total relaxation. Beautiful beach, lovely staff, good food, and fab infinity pool. Rooms spacious and comfortable. I had a lovely massage in the "spa"- actually a little hut. Not a place to stay if you want lots of organised activities, but if you want a blissful place to unwind completely, then it is perfect!

We had the most wonderful stay at Pongwe Beach Hotel! My husband and I spent 7 nights in this peaceful paradise, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The beach is by far the best in the Pongwe area — crystal-clear water, wide sandy shores, quiet and private, plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. We were also celebrating our friend’s birthday, and the hotel made it incredibly...

The hotel is fantastic! Clean and very comfortable rooms. Atmosphere there is simply amazing! Staff were warm and friendly and service excellent. The food was delicious and varied. Location is perfect also with beautiful beach

I first visited Pongwe beach hotel 14 years ago after climbing Killi and said I need to go back one day. Well it definitely has not gone downhill it is still amazing. The room we had is one of the new ones with a plunge pool and was lovely and serviced amazingly by the staff. The food is amazing we tried the King Prawn special one night and it was served on the beach which was special. All other...

We settled on Pongwe Beach after doing a lot of research in the months leading up to our trip. We wanted something with a boutique and personal feel but also with a beautiful beach and pool area, to celebrate my 50th. Pongwe exceeded our expectations- from the minute we arrived until our departure date. The staff were exceptional- special mention to Moodi, Jasmine, Kenny and Irene- who always greeted...

Located in the edges of kariako offering great value for money. The service is great and the rooms are clean. Although they have clear doors for the bathroom which doesnt offer privacy in the double room option

Relaxing hotel with full Ac and I like there's hot water if you want to take bath I watch football match in the room and no need to take stairs you can use lift instead it's have many service and a restaurant near hotel

I work with a tour company First my clients stayed for 2 days without WIFI second . The location is not conducive Third.... Our tour bus was clamped when at the hotel's parking for no reason yet we had proper documentation but the hotel didn't help Fourth beware of the lift ... My colleague and i got stuck for 5 minutes without anyone to help us

So far so good. I had the privilege to meet with Mr Wilson a very nice guy. Thank you BUTTERFLY HOTEL

No i did not hate the place. The hotel is good and as well its provide good services most of all it has an affordable price and is located at the Dar es salaam CBD.

Situated on a rough road centre of the market area. Convenient for buying almost anything you need. Reception staff very friendly. Lift working fine, a must for a 20-storey building Small clean aircon room. Double mattress uncomfortable. But what the heck for $15 what do you expect.

We stayed here for 5 nights and it was the best place to stay! Our room was nice, a bit out dated but it had everything we needed and it was clean. The location of the hotel was perfect, on the beach with their own beach lounge chairs to use. The beach was never affected with the tide whereas other hotels nearby, their beach disappeared with the tide and not many other places had beach lounge chairs...

There not enough words to describe our stay in this beautiful hotel. Starting from Reception and personally Sarah, who was super welcome and always helpful! Continue with our room ( we booked sea view, villa 3) and housekeeping daily perfect job! Amazing breakfast ( thank you chef for the best owlet ever and all guys for your caring and smiling faces). And of course Fatma...Fatma and 100 more times...

We walked the entire beach of Nungwi, and our hotel was definitely the best. The sun beds on the beach (most of the hotels don’t have such luxury), security (not that it’s dangerous there, but the guys selling excursions and souvenirs are just too many and it becomes annoying; - security of our hotel kept everyone away from the hotel guests), the beach is super clean (and so are the rooms, restaurant...

We had a brilliant time at Nungwi Inn Beach Cottages. We had cottage 2 with a sea view and stayed 5 nights. The place is beautiful! Whilst some of the reviews mention the rooms being run-down, I was pleasantly surprised - the value for money of this place is amazing compared to the other accommodation we stayed at in Stone Town and Jambiani. The staff were so friendly and always up for helping and...

Everything excellent!! The best location in zanzibar! Food was very good... all day and night security people were everywhere and most important during day..due to the annoying beachboys!! Only rooms need renovation!! Katerina George

Food very average .when ordering fish ask for medium rare it seems to be over cooked wherever you go.Seaview cottages were lovely with a much welcomed breeze.Only one small mirror in bathroom and one plug behind bed.The bar was expensive.The service in resturant and bar hardly existed was very poor .Went to get my own orders eventually. If you can overlook this the accommodation is good and security...

At Masons Hotel, the stay was excellent. However, I was charged two nights instead of one night: Checked in on !st August (paid 100$ cash plus 178.00 through ATM for two rooms at $85) and checked out on 2nd August As per transaction below: Please assist with a reimbersument: Share your email address for details.

It is really having a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, truely home away from home. Their services are great and the staffs are really calm and you can sense that they are experienced and respectful. I loved my stay over this Hotel

The good: The room (king size bed) I was in was spacious and comfortable and had all the services (refrigerator, toilet, wardrobes.. Etc) were provided and operational The bad: the internet connection is free BUT the system for connecting is annoying (you have a single use user and pass and you have to try every combination until you reach one that connects you)

I stayed at this hotel for 3 days during Ramadan. The room that I stayed on the first day was not comfortable. The shower was broken and the room felt congested. We quickly requested to move our room and they did. The next room was perfect. After you check in make sure u check the shower. The breakfast is not so good, a few minutes walk you can find stone town cafe/puzzle cafe. Thanks to mazsons team...

Very nice people, rooms are new, everything is clean

I highly recommend Shangani Hotel, the location is perfect the breakfast is delicious plus the staff are very friendly, I will recommend all of my friends to you guys. Thank you all best and expect to meet a lot of my friends who ever I met I will send them to you

The Shangani was a great base for me twice while visiting Zanzibar. The location is amazing with excellent access to local shopping and dining experiences. The hotel rooms while they are basic had great AC, excellent showers and good wifi. The Team running Shangani are excellent very accommodating always willing to help when needed. Breakfast on the rooftop is a great experience with the chefs making...

Pretty average. I don't know if it's good for the price because it was booked by our safari group, but it has all that you need. The AC is excellent, there's American movie channels. The wifi was slow at times but overall fine. The shower pressure was average, didn't get too hot when I took one. We were able to check in a little early though.

While the hotel's opulence came at a premium, the breakfast experience fell disappointingly short and my wife did not mince her words about it to the staff and management, leaving much to be desired. A stark contrast to the luxurious setting and relatively good rooms, the morning offerings were surprisingly subpar, diminishing the overall satisfaction of the stay!

A lovely hotel located centrally in Sone Town within easy walking distance of all I needed. The staff are so friendly and helpful., the rooms are plain but very clean, .breakfast was good. I will come back mostly because the staff are fabulous.

We booked one night at the hotel, but due to a flight delay, we weren't able to check in until 6 a.m. We were lucky to have our stay. We had to check out at 11 a.m. We slept through breakfast, so we can't review it. The hotel itself is very run-down, and the toilet doesn't work. There are tons of locals begging for money on the street. We had to take a detour to get to the beach, but maybe there was...

It is priced affordably for travelers on a budget. I stayed there 1/2 day so it did the job.

Services cannei.proved a lot.people can be more hospitable.

Very noisy place , settled above market street. Not sound isolation at all, u will feel all time someone close the door. No recommend to audio sensitive ppl

It was very fun and amazing , and enjoyed a lot from the view culture and all thing from that place but the best part was the bombom part on a yacht I never experienced that thing and made me proud a lot and also plan for the next trip on kendwa beach.

+ low cost of accommodation, which includes breakfast; + wide and clean beaches for active recreation are very close; + there is free Wi-Fi; + there is air conditioning in the room; + parking spaces can be found near the hotel. - noise from street air conditioners is heard at night, you can’t sleep with the window open; - very slippery tiles in the toilet and shower, be careful; - poor ventilation...

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...

This place reminded me of coming home. Highly recommend!

I ordered Kachumbari and Meat Pilau, but they didn't come out after 40minutes, and when I asked the staff, they finally came out 10minutes later. I know Pilau takes a long time for make, but Kachumbari just cuts vegetables and sprinkles with lime and salt…Beer and starter bread were relief for hunger. Meat Pilau had a quirky taste and didn't like the taste. Kachumbari was very good! Staff are friendly...

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing lodge. We spent three lovely days at Simba Beach lodge. The hosts were so lovely and they have two adorable daughters who were the sweetest ever. It is right by the beach so it was great to walk out from the room directly to the sea. The place is clean and the breakfast was nice. Very serene place - highly recommend it to anyone going to zanzibar.

One of the few places with rooms directly on one of the best beaches in Zanzibar. Italians and families especially will love it but great for all. Minor irritations like flies after my food and a bit grumpy male manager and no air conditioning . But the female boss is fantastic and the service attentive. Excellent quality overall for the money

Nice, quite and cozy place located on stunning Kiwengwa beach. You can feel at home. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Nice place to stay due to possibility to walk around the beach and enjoy beautiful sunshines. Within few minutes walking on the beach Kiwengwa is plenty of restaurants, bars, kitesurfing spots and schools. I recommend Simba's restaurant as well...

Simba Beach is an amazing place, very clean and right by the beach. We loved hearing the waves all throughout the night and in the morning we'd wake up to a beautiful sunrise. The host, Chantal, is great and all the staff are amazing and kind people. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing and so relaxing. Staff are very friendly, helpful and kind (especially Veronica and iddie) they made me feel at home. The overall vibe and ambiance was incredible. I didn’t want to leave. Unforgettable experience. Thank you

We only went to eat in the restaurant and it was fantastic! In addition to the very nice place, we ate very well! 2 giant lobsters with chips and vegetables at a more than fair price! Furthermore, the staff was very kind and welcomed us, making us feel at home surrounded by friends!

Very tasty cuisine, tastier than here in Zanzibar, I have not tried anything) and the prices are affordable, polite staff, I highly recommend !!! We tried all the menus in a week)))

I won't tell you about the numbers. But the cuisine is very tasty with very low prices. We, as regular customers, even got a discount a couple of times.

Great value for money! The rooms are comfortable and the place is nice. Only downside is the beach (not so nice) and not right next to the hotel as it might look like in pictures ( 5 minutes walk)

Be prepared to listen to some reggae.The food is awesome!

Alexander's Hotel is an oasis, perfectly situated in Masaki. The owner has done a wonderful job in creating a welcoming and relaxing space that offers a pool, a tasteful breakfast/reading room, and wonderful outside green spaces to sit under and read. At the same time it is only a short stroll to the shops, restaurants and the buzz of The Slipway. Though you might never want to leave the grounds: the...

We were recommended to stay at Alexander’s by a friend who spends a lot of time in Africa and I am very grateful we were because it was a fantastic experience from beginning to last. The rooms were huge, clean and had good a/c. The food was delicious, especially the dinners and we ate in both nights. The roof top dining room and bar is extremely comfortable with several locals eating, so you know it...

Alexander’s is a hidden gem. Tucked away on a side street in Masaki, it offers an oasis of tranquility with rooms surrounding a gorgeous garden and tiled pool. Each room is individually curated with local art and toiletries from Zanzibar. The service is excellent on all levels. Even if you don’t stay at the hotel, the restaurant on the rooftop terrace is worth a visit. The food is amazing - by far...

A privately run hotel , probably falls in the boutique category. Nice private and despite construction quiet hotel with a lovely courtyard and pool. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, but don’t expect shiny rooms. All the staff are really helpful and polite, as with the owners they are always available without being overbearing. Nothing was too much trouble. From reservation to checkout Gordon...

A really fantastic, most special place. Gordon and his team‘s hospitality is outstanding, always friendly and the serice is so personal. Gordon even greeted us personally when we arrived from our international flight ar 6am and kindly offered us a later breakfast, which we truly appreciated. When I asked for a bandaid he brought a whole package for me from the supermarket. In addition to the people...

We stayed at Alexander's Hotel during December of 2023. Quite simply the stay was highly enjoyable, as the hotel is excellent. The hotel is owned and managed by Gordon Alexander, who is a great host who runs a very nice hotel and restaurant. I believe that you would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay in Dar es Salaam, as the hotel is clean, safe, and conveniently located in the Masaki...

A place to be accompanied by the family You'll actually love it when you get there

Really loved the room on the ocean. The prefect place for relax, fare from noise. Super food and team!!!

Great small private resort. Away from bustle of Paje/Jambiani. Two pools. Two things were not ideal: 1 - the food offering was pretty basic. Dinner is a set menu and may not suit all sorts esp. kids. Lunch menu is great. Breakfast basic. 2 - the staff don’t seem to want to help you too much get taxis etc to Paje/Jambiani. They quote $20USD for a return taxi, when you can hail one on the street for...

Wonderful weeklong stay at Indigo Beach! The staff were absolutely fantastic, from how friendly they were to our toddler, to helping organize tours and a massage, to helping us figure out a doctor to take our daughter to when she got sick on our last day. The place was fairly easy to find - we arrived when it was dark, so that made it a little more difficult. It's in a less touristy spot, so it's...

Great stay, family friendly The place was great to stay at. The food was good, and the service was very good. the room was not air conditioned and was very hot. The windows did not have fly screens so we weren't able to leave them open which would have helped. The beds did have mosquito nets, but again we couldn't leave the room windows open.

Loved it! If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway from it all type of location...this is it...loved the place. Would be great for couples....we came as a family and it was still great

For starters, you should know that this resort is now called the Mambo Ocean Resort. We stayed here for three nights and four days in October 2024. We paid a little extra and had a nicer room, in the back of the resort, which has access to its own pool and is a bit quieter than the rooms on the beach which are next to the restaurant and the resort next door. Our room was up-to-date, had everything...

I lived in early October 2022. I came with a volunteer mission. Wonderful hotel, good staff, chic arrangement 2 steps from the ocean. Delicious food, squid in batter. Hotel owners are a man from Italy and his life partner from England. I liked absolutely everything! Breakfast ingredients are not much different from many hotels in Zanzibar, but the breakfast service is well presented!

Nice beach, perfect location, excellent staff and they have weekend vibe.

Beautiful place, good food, nice staff, have privet beach ❤️ For walk in sea and see nice staf inside we pay 30€ ( its to much) after walk we get info 10 € its normal price 🤪 but i recomend do it with some guys who can tell and show everything, its amazing ❤️ In hotel we get better price then booking give us (35€/for night) ⭐

Very nice hotel, everything is super clean, very safe, has a private beach, so you are safe from all the local sellers.

Waikiki is an absolutely amazing place that I highly recommend for anyone staying in Zanzibar. The bungalows are beautiful and very well kept, less than a minute walk to a white sandy beach that has clear blue shallow water perfect for swimming. The view of the sunrise in the morning is the most stunning on the island. The staff is nothing short than spectacular in every way. Everyone is very friendly...

This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property as advertised. The reception manager was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the experience less pleasant. The rooms were ok with very few amenities. That said, there are some positives. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries offered each morning. Abdulhamid was especially helpful — he went out of his...

Staff was friendly; gave great guest service. Overall stay was exceptional. Variety of breakfast options was very good. I would definitely recommend to others. Hotel is very clean and well managed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great location and overall nice hotel for Zanzibar. Very close to tourist attractions, everything on walking distance. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was limited but with amazing fruit selection

The location is good, very close to the sea, and next to the castle (one of the castles) of Stone Town. The front desk is nice, the room is big and clean, with hot water. After climbing Kilimanjaro and safari in the Serengeti, it felt like a break for the first time. Breakfast was barely edible.

Nice hotel. Great location.They had a nice roof top but too bad no roof top bar.

We slayed at this hotel for almost two weeks. It is next to water front and one can enjoy the beautiful evenings at water front without loss of time. Further, one can make frequent visits in the streets of Stone houses. The Manager Mr. Abdullah was very helpful. He was always out to help us in any matter from finding a taxi or any other assistance needed. As one is next to the coast, a boat could...

Type of place you would like to keep secret ! If you are looking for a quiet very beautiful hotel this place is perfect. The big pool is wonderful facing the sea, the construction of the restaurant is impressive and original, the bar beautiful and the hotel offers some nice and easy activities. Bedrooms very clean and decorated with taste. We had a crush for this hotel not only because it is Lovely...

Very nice place but isolated from everything, meals and drinks very expensive (ordinary bottle of wine at 25€), we are alone on 10/02 in this hotel with 12 rooms, some hotels in the surrounding area with more people, pleasant but dirty swimming pool, direct access to the sea which depending on the tides is accessible but we do not lose our footing and the water is as warm as a bath so we do not cool...

Now back from our second time staying here and cannot wait to be back already! It is bliss with a lovely swimming pool and very accommodating and kind staff. The food is great (many local dishes) with good portion sizes, cocktails are delicious and the beach is beautiful. Special mention to Roger, the manager, who was so delightfully accommodating, organising any day trips we wanted to do and who came...

The place to play is very good

This resort was truly perfect for us. Beautifully situated directly on the beach, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, very well managed and exceptionally tastefully decorated. It was simply stunningly beautiful; each room had its own little house with a veranda, and the small, intimate grounds were dotted with fine white sand and exotic flowering shrubs. Everything was constantly maintained...

The hotel is in a very quiet location, if you are looking for rest, this is it! The rooms are simple and clean, close to the beach: 10m... The food is very good with varied dishes. The fruit juices are freshly squeezed, the coconut picked directly from the coconut tree. Attentive and welcoming staff. We were very happy to spend a few days in this hotel.
