3 star hotels in Tanzania

It’s a place that you’ll always want to get back to.

The Green Oysterbay Apartments are fantastic! The services are excellent, the staff are so lovely and always helpful, and the atmosphere feels welcoming and comfortable. A special mention to the manager, Aisha she is absolutely wonderful and makes everything run so smoothly. Highly recommend staying here!

Cannot fault this place at all. Clean, spacious, great location, love the pool and the restaurant is amazing. The staff at the restaurant are super attentive and friendly. We can definitely call this spot in dar, our home away from home. We will definitely be back...

Spacious and very clean. Good air conditioning in place.

Really a great place to stay. Clean and very spacious apartments, nice pool, friendly staff and top location. Good restaurant in the same building. The mangament is top notch and does everything to make your stay comfortable. I will surely stay here again.

It was really great staying at these apartments. It was conveniently located to the city CBD but lovely and quiet. The apartment we stayed in was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. Will definitely stay here again.

It's a quiet place, a place you can spend a whole day and night . The staff is polite and helpful

A big thank you to Seconda Stella for our amazing stay with you. Our family spent 2 of our 10 day holiday here, and our only regret is not staying here longer. This hotel has a truly tranquil vibe, and we have never felt so relaxed. We were personally greeted upon check-in by the owner (Ivan), who has been so accommodating and welcoming. The villas are spacious and nicely decorated. The pool and bar...

I was expecting more... I arrived at 14:30. Thirty minutes after official check in time. Two empty welcome glasses were on the side while staff were on their phones. The owner came out to greet us which was a nice touch. The hotel is very relaxing. Music plays nicely in the background. The huts rest around the outside of the pool. Many photographic moments. The candle light dinner is beautiful...

Loved our stay here, the food at the restaurant was faultless! Would highly recommend❤️

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Seconda Stella for 3 nights, and I’m completely in love with this place. It’s the perfect blend of boho-chic charm and luxury a true hidden gem! The rooms are immaculate, with every detail thoughtfully curated. The outdoor shower was a personal favorite such a unique and refreshing touch. Overall, the accommodation felt like a solid 5-star experience....

We stayed as a couple from Denmark for 4 nights. The hotel is very beautiful. It is safe with the Masais/guards that are looking out for you. 🌅 The hotel is very clean. The food is very good and safe to eat, even if you are not used to the food in Africa. The staff are very friendly and sweet. They are super helpful. The owner and manager are always present at the hotel and will help you with any...

We stayed five nights at Kidoti Wild Garden … three nights at the ocean front Nature Lodge and two in the Bungalow. We were originally schedule for all five in the Guesthouse, but there was some construction going on nearby and they kindly upgraded us. We enjoyed our stay, but I don’t think it’s a place for everyone. For those seeking a space away from the crowded hotels and beaches, and flexible...

Such a gem! The owner and staff welcomed us like family, the food was beautifully prepared and served with pride. There are lovely touches everywhere you turn-the gardens are so pretty and seeing the Canadian flag overhead was perfect🫶🏻

Me and my friend stayed here for a couple days and had a great experience. As soon as we arrived Mwamba offered us a nicer room than the one we had initially booked, no extra charge. The accommodation is very secluded and quiet so it’s perfect for a few days away from the noise. Mwamba took us out to swim with dolphins and it was one of the best experiences, we left very early and were there before...

A lovely spot - quiet and set away from the hustle and bustle of a lot of Zanzibar. It is basic accommodation - so cold showers and a very simple set up - but that's exactly what we love about it. There has clearly been a lot of love going into building the place, Mwembe gave us a tour of the garden with all the plants and veggies he's growing. If busy bars and banging music and luxury accommodation...

Such a beautiful place. A lovely contrast to the bustle and hassle of stone town. We like spots off the beaten track and this place is gloriously that, but with cold beers, a warm welcome and swimming from your doorstep (at high tide). The kids also loved the cats and the numerous hermit crabs. Our three kids (12,10,7yrs) discovered the joys of snorkeling here which was aided by the fact we lucked...

This is amazing place located just on the beach , west coast. You can watch the sunsets from over there. We were lucky to stay in the house closest to the ocean. The garden is beautiful and peacful you can really disconnect and relax there. The owner - Mwamba is very friendly and helped us to solve some issues and even organized a free transport to the city!! The restaursnt offers very good food...

I stayed at Neneu Lodge in early 2024 whilst working at KCMC hospital. Walter and all the lodge staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and had lots of lovely memories there. The gardens/nature there is lovely, the food delicious and I would definitely recommend Neneu Lodge and Walter to friends and family!

I visited there it was clean,stylish,rooms I visited there it was clean,stylish, rooms with excellent service in where we had breakfast,lunch and dinner. Food was good and great value for money and service was attractive and efficient, I enjoyed alot was fantastic and perfect

Classic hotel , just book it for your nice stay

we had booked a function. but I'm guessing they double booked us. because on our arrival, we had to wait more than 3 hours for our dinner tables, decoration and eventually food to be ready. Otherwise the people are friendly. food is okay and place beautiful.

The staff were very caring and friendly and honest. The room had good aircon and a working fridge, tv and shower. The new chef Adrian was excellent given basic kitchen facilities. Great value and convenient location. We stayed 6 weeks whilst studying at KCMC and would definitely recommend. Great thanks to Sylvia and Princess and all the staff for a very happy and memorable stay.

This is a small paradise in Moshi town! The staff is very attentive (hello Simon!), the rooms and facilities are very beautiful and the prices are fair enough! I would recommend this great place for anybody visiting Tanzania!

Its a good hotel located 4 kms from Julius Nyerere International Airport. The prices range from 25$ to 50$.they have reliable airport shuttle service and good rooms and meals Would recommend it to any Traveller

I’m very impressed with the service at Kigala Hotel. I had such a wonderful and relaxing time. Thanks a lot 🫶

It's a relatively nice hotel near to the city centre. Rooms range from 40,000 to 80,000 (they have changed the prices, not sure of the current rates). The 80,000 rooms are bigger, but face the road which is quite busy and I could still hear cars and motorcycles even from the 5th floor. So I slept in the 50,000 rooms when I went again, and although smaller most of the things are the same and these are...

I will always stay in this hotel when I visit Dar es Salaam. I stayed for ten days, and it felt like home. The price is affordable, and the customer service is superb. The receptionists and kitchen staff are charming (there are some simba fans we joked like we knew each other for long). The breakfast is truly amazing. I never thought I would find such a great hotel in a location like Buguruni. Keep...

Definitely will stay again for another visit in the city....salute to all staffs and management, it was nice, perfect. Im Muslim and my visit was on Ramadan but the Hotel offered Iftaar for all muslims even though me and my wife had to place a different order for Iftaar based on our likes and was nice afterall. We felt like home and thats what we needed. Thank you.

It’s a very comfortable place and it’s beautiful Mashallah 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 the rooms are neat and comfy

A lovely relaxing and comfortable place to stay. Very well managed and looked after by friendly and welcoming staff.

My experience at Santa Maria was beautiful! The people here are very welcoming, the bungalows are very close to the beach, it s such a nice and quiet place. We stayed here at the end of april and we had the beach for ourselves! If you love nature and being in contact with it this is the place for you! If you have a problem with the windows not having glass, and hearing the rain or the bushbabys, then...

By far the best place I've stayed in, and I'm saying this as a person who travels a lot throughout Asia, the Caribbean and other tropical destinations, typically staying in 5* resorts and all kind of sorts of boutique hotels. This place is different to any of them, but just truly awesome. Rooms are nice and cleaned daily, the staff is very helpful and attending. But the place itself... It's just a...

Best hotel on the island. We all have different tastes but for us when we go to Tanzania we want local Tanzania hotel with a taste of tradition. Santa Maria is the best at that.We have done most islands and we couldn’t find anything like Santa Maria . It feels like being alone on a private island, the cool breeze, the beautiful decoration. Santa Maria is simply the best and for us the fact that it...

Very nice and chill place. The view is amazing and they clean up the beach. The staff is really helpful and give you a warm welcome. We had problems with the local atm and they helped us out. The food was amazing and if you stay awake you can see some cute bushbabys in the night. Ask the staff about them and they teach you and show you a lot about them. 10 out of 10! Would like to stay forever

Location was perfect, on a desolate beach without the hustle and bustle. Breakfast was good, the fresh fruit and juice was a highlight. Didn't know that we wouldn't only have screens on the windows (as opposed to glass) in the unit (especially with the stormy weather, it made for an interesting night) and curtains didn't cover the entire window. Power went out a couple times. We didn't have water...

It's good to stay close to airport for some reason. (Flight mess, transit...) But not for relaxation or long stay

After a long day of sightseeing and exploring the bustling streets of the city, the hotel provided a peaceful and luxurious retreat. From the moment we stepped through the grand, historic entryway, we were captivated by the elegant ambiance that permeated the property. Our room was spacious and beautifully appointed, with plush bedding, high ceilings, and large windows overlooking the tranquil lake...

The waiter was very enthusiastic

A pretty okay hotel The hotel is decent for it's price level, but there were a few things that affected our experience in a negative manner. First of all, the aircondition in our room (room 105) had been tampered with so that the efficiency of the aircon was at perhaps 20%. This is common in Tanzania in order to save electricity, but the result was that we felt very hot and had difficulty sleeping...

Thank you for all the conveniences in the trip.com app. Flight tickets are very cheap. Cheaper than anywhere We will travel with trip.com to travel comfortably around the world.

wifi didnt work bulbs missing in room staff excellent sink only gave hot water a mystery why they give "1 towel" only per room even if 3 people staying in the room?

Everything was on point especially the amenites in the rooms and very clean. Excellent service from the staff and the food was amazing.

Njiro Climax is a lovely oasis in between safaris and daytrips. We absolutely loved our time there, enjoyed the swimming pool, the beautiful surrounding garden and the great service of the staff. Absolutely recommendable for a stay, wether long or short, in Arusha. Njiro staff, thanks again for our wonderful days with you!!

Staff was very good and efficient. Answered all questions, very helpful when needed. Jamal helped me with my phone charger and even offered for me to use his. Would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent location at edge of Arusha, away from the hustle, bustle and noise of the town, with spacious, lush gardens. Staff are very enthusiastic, helpful and quick to sort out any issues that may arise. Special thanks to Jamal and Eunice!

I recently stayed at a hotel in Arusha and had such a great experience. While the rooms were clean, nice and comfortable, with everything I needed. I especially loved the peaceful environment and the quite place where it’s makes me feel am at home with a beautiful view - the food was fresh and delicious, also they have a good morning breakfast.

Caroline and Johnson were outstanding hosts, ensuring we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The lodge was beautiful, with clean and spacious rooms. The pool was the perfect place to relax, and the food at the restaurant was fantastic. We highly recommend Njiro Climax for anyone visiting Tanzania.

If you're doing a large, complicated character with radio controls, it might take a number of people several months to make it and if you're talking about a quick little hand puppet, it could be made in 2 days, so there's enormous range there, and no real easy generalities.

A very big and comfortable rooms! Very spacious! The bathroom needs serious renovation, and they are very tiny. Power sockets should at least be near the bed, but you have to walk a step or two to get to the socket.

Very calm environment, good for hiding if you know what I mean 😂

Good place and affordable, just need to refurbish their rooms

friendly staffs, quiet and nice place, small parking lots, enjoyed staying there, security is there, rooms are nice and big enough, misses elevator

Had a great 2 night stay here...beautiful big rooms, quiet and good value for money. It's right at the heart of Masaki, and although it's literally next door to Samaki Samaki it's still quiet since the rooms are sound proofed. The hotel is a bit old though and in need of a few renovations.

There's restaurant AND hotel. The hotel is quite good.👍🏽 They upgrade your room if there is not much other customers. The restaurant is surprisingly popular.🤔 The location is about in the middle of Masaki central area with walking distances.

Authentically Chinese. Good flavors and wide range of veg and non veg options to choose from. The waiters had good knowledge of the food being served. The fried brinjals are a must starter. Enough safe parking safe in the compound. Waiting time for food around 20mins. Average spend per person 30,000/- TSHS.

A Taste of Home The food here is fantastic! I especially loved the eggplant chips. And the side condiments? Absolutely amazing! The green chilies and onions in vinegar are a perfect complement, and the chili oil is my absolute favorite. It's a real shame you can't find these kinds of authentic condiments in Chinese restaurants in the UK.

The food was authentic chinese prepared by chinese chef and the ambience took me back to China. The food was tasty and the presentation was good and it has hotpot. The hotel is easy to locate and has lot of space to accomodate a lot of people. Dumplings and chicken were our favorite dishes

Really great value for money, clean and spacious rooms, mostly aimed at chinese people but we didn't feel weird as europeans there. They have a kind of chinese style breakfast with dim sum and it was good, actually likes it more than continental.

Our stay at Jafferji Beach Retreat was absolutely exceptional from beginning to end. Munis, the manager, truly made all the difference. He was outstanding, always helpful, incredibly kind, and full of great advice. Whether it was recommendations for activities or simply making sure we were comfortable, he went above and beyond every single day. The location is simply breathtaking. The beach is stunning...

Very nice setting; friendly personnel; large and clean rooms; OK restaurant

What an incredible paradise to soak up the sun and savour mouthwatering dishes crafted by the talented chef! We had the pleasure of staying in the breathtaking “Mapenzi room,” which opens up to stunning beach views. The attentive staff is always ready to cater to your every need, making you feel right at home. I can't recommend this fantastic retreat enough for anyone itching for a getaway to the magic...

Rooms were very clean , food was perfect , nice swimming pool with beach 20 meter. I am tanzanian but I can say this is one of best place I ever went👌 !!!

The location is at Matenwe in Zanzibar. A bit difficult to get ro but an absolute treasure. It's a retreat place but more like a resort. Directly opposite the beach, great pool, fine location and overall great staff. I'll like to visit again.

Absolutely loved being here. Photos don’t do it justice, you can’t capture the experience, ambience and excellent service; you just have to experience it in real-time. Well done to Maurizio and the team.

On arrival we received a warm welcome from Pia and Hasim the owners, with a welcome drink and cake. The 6 Bedroom Hotel was set in a perfect location with direct access to the quiet powdery white sand beach, but only a short distance to Paje, if you wanted something more lively. We stayed in the beautifully decorated and very clean 2 Bedroom Suite with private balcony and seaview overlooking the pool...

An absolutely amazing stay! The hosts and staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and always go the extra mile. The hotel is so peaceful and comfortable that we ended up spending most of our time there instead of going on excursions. Great food with generous portions, lovely beach atmosphere, and even a complimentary boat/snorkeling trip to enjoy with other guests. Truly a home away from home. Highly...

African Paradise was a fantastic place to stay in the south of Zanzibar. It is located right on the beach, although note that the tide changes drastically during the day. The hotel is clean and rooms are well-equipped. A fantastic breakfast is served every morning. There is also a great lunch and dinner menu. Customer service is great; the staff and management are all so friendly and went above and...

African Paradise in Bwejuu, Zanzibar truly lives up to its name 🌴✨ After reading the positive reviews from other guests, my expectations were high—and somehow, this place exceeded them. From the moment you arrive, you feel an incredible sense of calm and warmth. The atmosphere is peaceful, beautifully authentic, and perfectly designed for total relaxation. The owners are absolutely amazing: kind,...

We had dinner at this lovely lovely spot! The hotel looks amazing the outside and although we only saw the restaurant area and beachfront poolside the style, vibe And ambiance are top tier!! The owner are so so sweet and welcoming, with a huge smile super attentive and kind! As well as the staff! The food was incredible! I highly recommend the coconut fish it was delicious! And the fried pineapple...

At first, we almost canceled our stay because the hotel didn't have a pool, which our daughter loves. But we're so glad we didn't! This hotel was a LOVELY surprise like no other. We had to switch from a nearby hotel after five nights, and it turned out to be the BEST decision. The hotel is like a hidden treasure, made with SO MUCH love by the staff and owners. Pia was so kind and made us feel at home...

Amazing place, nice view the meal it’s test and delicious

Great hotel with a wonderful helpful staff, the location is unbeatable it was right in the downtown area

Great location next to the ferry. The staff were so kind and helped us find a taxi when we were in trouble. It’s a beautiful historic building.

Nothing to complain about. Great service, nice staff and good cleaning. Facilitys are okay and nothing more than you pay for. Good place for a couple of nights. Too much noise from the street but thats just how it is around here. Good central location.

Smiles has comfortable rooms, Good service and the location is perfect ! Everything is near by :foodplaces, forodhani, port and many more. The staff are very helpful and we had no problem. The break fast was good.

I had a great 4 day solo stay here. Staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good and great quality. Great location to walk and sightseeing the town. I really appreciated the spray for mosquitoes nightly. Will absolutely stay again. A great buy! .

Amazing staff. Highly recommend staying here. It’s walking distance to stone town. Rooms were clean and had air con.

1. Friendly staff 2. A walk to Stone Town 3. For families with our "kittens", there's a room for that 4. Included breakfast but you will have to outsource lunch and dinner (aplenty in Stone Town)

My stay at this hotel was excellent.The owners of this hotel are very good.They are hands on and very active and always ready to help.The rooms are clean and tidy and have a working air conditioning system.Therefore,i will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others

Seeing the reviews I was a bit worried about this one but they were great! Communication was a bit sporadic prior to the stay, but once I called them and got their number, they were brilliant. They were super apologetic about any miscommunications, arranged us a bus pick up from the ferry port for our group (even though it's close by) and upgraded one of our rooms. The staff were lovely, rooms very...

Best place in Stone Town in Zanzibar Island to explore the cultural of Zanzibarian people and the all amzing experience at town. And everything's fine And we recommend 👌 To stay for you And your friends Zanzibar is more than just a destination—it’s an experience that captivates your soul from the moment you arrive. With its stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality, this island is truly...

Hotel is cheap, location is good for port. Air con did not work first night as control was broken - the hotel noticed this on showing us to the room but chose to ignore and not tell us so uncomfortable 1st night. Housekeeping kept turning off the hot water in the room so no hot water for duration of stay. Wi-Fi is incredibly annoying - you need a voucher from reception every time you re-enter the hotel...

This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy...

My room was a work of art with unique furnishings and exquisite detail

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, we arrived very early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised when they offered us breakfast and allowed us to check in early. The property itself is stunning: a beautiful historical building that has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious, elegant...

It is one of the best hotel I've ever stayed. Excellent room, staff, services. The hotel and the rooms are in traditional Zanzibar architecture style, which gave me great experience. Staff is considerate and detail oriented. The dinner at the rooftop is wonderful. One minor downside is the shower had low water pressure due to my room was in the top floor. Sometimes I had to wait for 1-2 minutes until...

The rooms were decorated well and was very clean. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Loved the rooftop for breakfast and the location was perfect.

Special place. The staff outstanding. A few remarkable days at this wonderful historic 'hotel'.

Getting here is a nightmare. Even your Google direction ⬆️ could not help. Probably it is convenient via a boat 🚢

A very nice hotel in Nyegezi Mwanza about 25++kms from the Mwanza International Airport. The hotel is accessible via the St. Agustine University. The authorities in Mwanza can enhance the value of this hotel and businesses around if they can upgrade the access road that joins the university road. Impressed with room designs, interiors, layout design, and allocation of buildings following a sloppy terrain...

this is a quiet place to browse especially for couples, as you get the chance to get some fresh air along with a closer look at the lake Victoria, 😘

best hotel where u can have food drinks also sleeping rooms if intreasted are found there at very lower price while enjoying the lake victoria view

It is very simple area for enjoying and there is delicious food

Verry nice place for outing...enjoy.. honeymoon Wedding photography Wedding videograph And swimming

Everything was perfect. The hotel is very well located and very close to the beach. The staff is extremely friendly, always smiling and helpful, and the manager is also very kind. The breakfast is delicious, and the swimming pool is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an excellent stay.

The mpole bungalows, is a quiet charming place to stay, it has a small swimming pool, set within a garden with fruit trees and swinging day beds. It has a small restaurant, and bar. The bungalows are 30 seconds from the beach, where you can see the sunset, there is an all-night bar from midday to 7am, at sunset a fire is lit, we did not hear any noise from our bungalow. You can do activities and get...

Very nice location, well integrated into the surrounding nature, well maintained and above all managers attentive to sustainability which is very important. Not recommended for those looking for luxury and perfection, it is a simple place and as such you need to know how to appreciate it. There are continuous voltage drops and lack of electricity even for prolonged periods - obviously they do not depend...

I can not rate this place high enough !!. Amazing location , beautiful beach , beautiful food , rooms are perfect , the pool/chill area is amazing too and every member of staff are beautiful people with amazing service we even had a day trip sorted for us by mohammed who made it feel so easy and stress free !! Will 100% come back next time i am visiting zanzibar island

Went to lounge by the pool and have their prawn curry, which was excellent. Friendly staff and a great view of the ocean!

This place was like a dream. Very quiet, right on the beach. You can see the sunrise from your bed. The rooms were clean and the staff is friendly. The food is also very good, they make the best curry. Tasty breakfast and super delicious fresh juice ❤ best place if you would like a relaxed vacation.

It was neither good nor bad, just average. It didn't feel very clean. What bothered me more was the large number of mosquitoes.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. However there is a bit of disturbance from rats running around during the night which is make me more scary but it’s not big deal we have been experiencing it even in other hotel in big city. Nice amazing staff and food is good. Points is very closer to the ferry which is also very nice. Super thankful for my lovely chef abillah he made my stay perfectly. Hakuna...

We really enjoyed our stay there. Beautiful spacious bungalows in a jungle style garden. A sea water pool with jacuzzi at the sister hotel next door and a beach club with free shuttle. Good breakfast. Smiling, polite and very helpful staff. Shops, bars and restaurants are just a few steps away. I would say it's my happy place.

This hotel has beautiful room very center and has 3 other sister hotel where you can get breakfast in 1 hotel & another for lunch or dinner. The hotel provide free shuttle to the beach

Overall, a beautiful, clean, and peaceful resort. No luxury with a pool, TV, or anything like that. A nice room, a great bathroom, and well-equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fan, and a refrigerator. Unfortunately, there were a few power/mains and water outages, but that's normal in Zanzibar. The staff is very friendly and helpful. After two weeks, we ate the whole breakfast. There were times...

Great location minutes from the beach but quiet and great service

atii gardes bungalows is a really nice place to spend your vacation. it gives you the feeling of being in a garden in the middle of nature. the staff is very friendly, the breakfasts are excellent and the rooms are clean, as well as the palace is close by. highly recommended :)

Stayed there our entire time in Zanzibar and loved it. It’s a two minute walk from the beach so super convenient, but the lush garden made it feel like we were the only ones there. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were super spacious and clean. We LOVED our balcony and the breakfasts every morning were heavenly. The service at atii was so good; they helped us arrange taxis and outings; we had a...
