Best Hotels in Tanzania

The dinner buffet offered a wide variety of delicious dishes, while the breakfast spread was extensive, with plenty of choices. We would highly recommend Gran Meliá Arusha to anyone visiting Arusha

The services offered are extremely extraordinary. For swimmers, the swimming pool is amazing. I would definitely recommend you to plan and visit Gran Melia hotel as I promise you won't regret

The property features a vast compound surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Meru is superb, and we especially loved the beautiful natural surroundings

The room was modern and stylish, designed with touches of Africa elements. The private balcony was the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of coffee while taking in the scenery

One of the best properties to stay at in Arusha. Clubber with free Steam and Sauna. Wide variety of breakfast

This should be the best hotel in Arusha. The hotel environment is very good and the service is also good, but the food and beverage are just average.

Being an avid traveller, I can say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed. The food is exceptional in quality and quantity. The staff are very friendly and cater to all needs

Already saving up to return. I LOVED everything, Rebecca at the buffet restaurant and the Indian manager were exceptionally good to me.

We LOVEDDDDDD (!!!!!!!) it here!! So much so that we decided to book twice in the same vacation. We hadn't booked anything for the last part of our honeymoon, and we decided to come back to end our honeymoon here

The food is also amazing!! Which is really not common at all inclusive resorts. A special thanks to Khadija from the reception who recognized us when we came back for the second time and even upgraded our room

We were specially looked after by Abdallah who mostly works in Ginger bar and also Ibrahim who works in the restaurant. I'd 100% recommend this hotel and will be vising again

We stayed in both Jumbo and Palace. We checked into the hotel at night, they gave us a room near the reception (the reception is more modest compared to Jumbo)

Absolutely fantastic holiday, the hotel is amazing, right on the beach but with plenty of pools too. The restaurants were all great, such a good selection. Our room was fabulous with the comfiest bed

There should be a non smoking area within the resort for people with health conditions. Overall, a solid stay with good value, clean rooms, and solid amenities

Positives: The hotel area is huge, boasts very good facilities, has 3 separate pools and a beautiful beach area thus avoiding overcrowded areas

We would definitely return and would 100% recommend to anyone wanting the most chilled out holiday ever, thank you to everyone at Kiwengwa Beach Resort for 2 weeks in paradise!

The staff could not do enough for you and always happy and smiling. We were chilled right from the minute we got there to the minute we left

Such a memorable holiday for us celebrating a big birthday, we got champagne and a cake and they made it so special

Very pleasure place ,sevice more helpful. Good food🙂👍😆 The places are surprisingly nice, I am surprised by the good cuisine. The hotel manager makes sure that it is nice. I recommend this resort 👍👍👍

The resort makes a very good first impression – it’s large, beautifully maintained, with a spacious tropical garden and authentic African atmosphere

The entire staff are just wonderful. Food and drinks are great and the environment is very clean. The bar tenders are the best, The entertainment group were wonderful

The rooms are designed in African style, which gives them a lot of charm. The food is excellent, with plenty of variety and great taste, both local and international dishes

A big plus for original Coca-Cola drinks and bottled beers – a small detail, but it really makes a difference. However, there are also some downsides. The hotel is very much focused on Italian guests

While the rooms have a nice local style, they definitely need some maintenance and repairs – in my case, the shower sprayed water onto the ceiling, and the bathroom door didn’t open freely

The CRJE Hotel boasts hardware that meets domestic five-star standards and is conveniently located in the heart of Dar es Salaam, making travel easy. Rooms offer excellent views of the sea and harbor

Perfect room, perfect service. Perfect breakfast we stayed in a connection room. Rooms are good for both business and tourism

Best hotel Staff is so kind and room is wonderful. Nice! Small inconvenience, sauna is not free

Housekeeping was not thorough; items like tissues were not replenished for days after running out. The room's weight scale was broken. The power supply was unstable, with more than 10 power outages daily

Central location, outstanding Gym. The rooms are ample and clean. For lunch there is only one restaurant open and they don’t allow you to choose from the Menu, the only option is to go for the buffet

However, there are clear downsides: communication was poor, and multiple requests to change the bedsheets went unfulfilled; eventually, I was told there were no clean sheets available

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Irene from reception provided excellent service. Breakfast is great and the room is very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay in Crowne plaza and will definitely be coming back.

There are many expensive hotels in Dar es salaam, and this hotel is one of them. But the price was good and reasonable, their services were so good

The hotel breakfast was excellent. The hotel staff were very friendly and the room service was excellent.

The staff are kind, welcoming, and professional, with 24/7 reception, housekeeping, and a restaurant. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable, and guests have access to the pool and gym

I have traveled to many countries and cities, and this is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. I booked two rooms for my family, and everyone loved the experience

Especially i ordered laundry washings, and they gave me back after their works in 3hours

was nice having a celebratory cake and as much as you can eat ice cream. (which was ice cold 🤣 despite the heat) The fireworks which were key to the night were breathtaking and a good set up for safety

In all, was a good night with good entertainment (and the bubbly for sure ensured the tossing to the new year was done in style)

The buffet was quite extensive and we got to enjoy a fresh sea food corner and the kids loved this especially the octopus. But a sweet treat was at the dessert corner

Really good value for money, everything is good. Watch out for crows at breakfast, they always come to snatch my food. The waiters are also very nnice, responsible and conscientious. Love the gym!!

We opted for the less crowded hotel for our new year cross over and for sure it didn't disappoint us

Very good place to spend the day. Have a nice buffet lunch here in the restaurant and don't forget to bring your swimsuit. The place has a nice swimming pool

👍🏼Best place to stay in Kendwa area. Close to beach, safe sunbathing area, nice music, kind staff, comfortable rooms. 👎🏼But food portions are really small. BBQ party buffet needs impotivement.

I traveled alone after a safari and was looking for something authentic with a beachy atmosphere. I think I found it at this hotel. The staff was very attentive, especially Mukrim and Mariam

Hello, overall the hotel was enjoyable, and the location is excellent. The beach is one of the best, with no noticeable tides. However, the hotel staff stole a child’s shoes right before our eyes

The only thing I didn't like, but I think it's the same everywhere, was the constant pushy vendors. But I recommend this hotel for a truly authentic Zanzibar experience

Was also surprised that they don’t provide amenities such as disposable slippers, toothpaste and toothbrush, these are basic things that can literally be offered anywhere, if it’s not in their policy best just to add the 1$ to the reservation price or have it in the stores inside their compound instead of letting visitors wander outside the hotel looking to purchase these goods

The hotel had everything you need for a great beach experience: the restaurant, the menu, the beach service, the drinks, and the ambiance at sunset

It was my first time staying at an all inclusive hotel and i loved it. The hotel is huge and there is a lot to do in the hotel. I stayed at the beachfront room so I had the best views and the best room in the hotel

We had great time at this hotel. Good evening entertainment and food was great! This hotel was busier then the other three hotels we stayed in zanzibar. Nice little beach area and bars. Would stay again..

The service attitude of the staff is very good, very warm and friendly. The hotel does not provide sandals, you need to bring your own, and the supermarket in the hotel is not cost-effective

Good value for money, the room is big, can accommodate three people, suitable for a family of three. Two balconies, many large hotel swimming pools, and great views

Luxurious hotel, deserving of its stars Beautiful grounds, pools and room. Very attentive service. Good and varied food. I really enjoyed my stay

It is said that the drinks are all-inclusive, but in fact the free drinks and drinks are relatively few. The buffet is quite satisfactory, not amazing. There are relatively few Chinese people, and I met one

My Blu Hotel Zanzibar exceeded all expectations! Excellent location on Kendwa Beach, clean and modern rooms, friendly staff. Breakfasts were delicious and varied, and dinner with a sea view was simply magical

A good hotel, located in a bay, you can only walk along the beach at low tide during the day. In general, the low tides are not strong

Very good seaside hotel, location not far from the city center

The pool was cozy, the Wi-Fi was reliable. Everything was thought of down to the last detail

This was the best experience at My Blue. Never met such Friendly people in my life, always smiling and ready to help you. Al they want is you to enjoy and have a good time

The staff was good and friendly but the property needs some serious work. The picture showed a room with a seating area by the sliding doors

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 

Best choice ever! Great service, location right by the beach, breakfast buffet was a feast and the rooms have all you need after a day by the beach and pool

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 laundry service is cheap, but not good, as shirts come back with stains on them

This hotel is right next to the airport, so the location is unbeatable. The room was very clean and a decent size. Compared to other hotels in Zanzibar, it offers good value for money

The room was spacious and bright, and the environment was excellent.

A super welcoming hotel. With very professional staff. Everything was perfect, except that we no longer had hot water in the evening. We even met the president. Recommended..Leeci

It was a great hotel. It was within a 10 minute walk from the airport. The staff were all friendly and the amenities were plentiful. The breakfast buffet was also great.

The only downside is that it's quite far from Stone Town, about a 20-minute drive

Meets expectations, highly recommended, close to the airport

An honourable mention to Sufiyan or Sufiyani I cannot remember his name properly but really great service at Bar & Grill restaurant. Hotel amenities were great with good food at both buffet restaurants

Generally the food and drink quality is very good and there are food and drink options with additional payment if you want something more than the base

The sea view is beautiful. Looking forward to next time.

Tui Blue Bahari is 5*+ There is space, good food, great private beaches, 5 restaurants, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. There were more sunbeds than guests when we stayed and towels are available poolside

Great hotel, complete facilities, good service, and the sea in front of the hotel is also beautiful. The breakfast and dinner package is very cost-effective, and there are three free restaurants to choose from

The hotel included two meals, and we stayed for three nights, so we went to a restaurant for dinner every night. The food was generally good, and the barbecue and pasta pizza were delicious

We have been so many places around the world and this is one of the best!! Friendliest people. Dinner was SO good every night. Beautiful white beach and so relaxing

A very good hotel is especially distinguished by very good guest service by the reception Leah-thank you for your help in all matters, a very good pool bar serving great drinks and with waiters intuitively sensing the needs of guests

Very good food in the main restaurant and a wide selection. Very good beach giving a great view of the ocean and isolation from local sellers. The whole will be complemented by a nice spa and organized trips

Very nice resort and at nice white sandy beach. Very good Hilton Diamond Member recognition from the staff. Leah (Guest Relations Manager) is a really treasure for the hotel! Perfect service at all

The Fisherman restaurant is very good. Only the waiting time for meals is a little bit long. Rooms are very nice and clean. I can recommend this hotel for everyone (also families with children)

Good bathrooms and showers as well. Beachfront location with lots of sunbeds and a good pool with a bar rounds up the experience. But what makes this hotel special are the people working here

Very good experience at this hotel it’s had a great staff they are very friendly and we loved Allen very polite always smiling give us the best drink and told us history about the islands I’m giving 5 stars great time

The buffet restaurant which can be used for Breakfast, lunch and dinner is a large area with plenty of helpful staff and lots of choice when it comes to food, the also offer the Italian as a place to go for lunch

It was a perfect Trip! The Hotel, the room, the buffet everything! Especially Allan, he works at the poolbar and in the evening at the dinner!!! Very friendly! Hakuna matata! We come back again!!!

The beach was nice, but sometimes full of sea ****. time there was low tide and we were looking for sea animals like starfish, sea cucumber, snails,. The only negative were beach boys, very annoying

We cant forget the moment we had from this hotel lovely servise unique smile from Allen the best barman ever we got delicious cocktail from pool bar and at the barcat in evening goodentertainment machano salama and our dejay were nice rooms were well decorated and deliciousfood we loved african dinner

Our luggage was taken to our room while we were checking in, during checking we were provided a map with all relevant information such as restaurant times and provided services

Best birthday weekend ever! The staff were warm, welcoming, and full of joy 🤗. My beachfront room was breathtaking, waking up to the ocean was pure bliss. Huge thanks to the team on 31

The beach at Nungwi Dreams is peaceful and quite. High standard of leaving which I could recommend any day any hour. The breakfast buffet wow it's the best that I have ever experienced in Zanzibar

The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had the best night’s sleep, and the staff were so attentive and helpful, always going above and beyond to make my stay truly special

Great stay service food and facilities Staff is very friendly and welcome Only bad thing is that if you come for the beach it’s not the best in the area due to the rocks

The one of the best hotels in Nungwi. I would like to stay again.

Nungwi Dreams by Mantis is a serene oasis away from the busyness of Nungwi, offering both relaxation and unforgettable experiences. I can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise!

The food was nice and distant from the airport was a good thing as our flight arrived a little after midnight. The staff were very hospitable and courteous.

The Madinat Al Bahr hotel is conveniently located at a beach near the airport (3km, 6-10min drive) and also not far from Zanzibar City (7km, around 10-15min drive) with its famous stone town and ferry terminal to Dar Es Salaam etc

The hotel's architecture is impressive. The breakfast buffet is nice, but lunch an dinner buffet happens only on weekends. The restaurant kitchen is strong on local Swaheli food, fresh produce and Indian dishes

But don't order the T-Bone steak. I asked for medium rare but got a hard boiled (!) though correct piece of meat but too tough to either cut or chew. The rooms are big and clean with nice ocean views

The Madinat Al Bahr is good for a short stay at Zanzibar as its location enables one to pack a lot into one's trip, which is exactly what all the far-away beach hotels at the eastern beaches can't provide due to long driving times

The beginning was a little bumpy yet after I addressed my concerns, the management in all departments including frontdesk and F&B went out of there way to make this visit for my mother and me even more memorable than expected

We stayed 3 times on various dates and as our previous review …Absolutely amazing and helpful staff great Hotel and excellent food at the restaurant..Bery very Helpful 👌

The place was in the city centre and very easy to allocate. I had a very warm welcome from the lady Glory, who made sure I was comfortable with my stay. They also have good breakfast and a big gym with the city view

Authentic and great ambience showcasing Indian street food at its finest. Hotel is also well located and within good distance from the airport

Can not complain about anything! Nice swimming pool. Nice room and very good breakfast ! Would recommend this hotel to everyone!

CBD Hotel is a nice hotel close to the SGR Station, and a very good deal given the cleanliness and breakfast being included.

Good people many memories nice front desk staff & restaurant staff good time spent in cbd hotel

Leaving the Karafuu Hotel in Zanzibar after a week was incredibly emotional for us — words truly fall short. Our stay went far beyond anything we had imagined, and every aspect of it was exceptional

A special thank you goes to Nurdin, Jackson, and Khadija, who went above and beyond to look after us, organize activities, entertain us, and turn each day into a wonderful memory. Every moment felt truly special

However, what truly set this holiday apart was the genuine warmth, kindness, and joyful attitude of the hotel staff. We have never felt so sincerely welcomed and cared for anywhere else

The stunning beach, the well-kept and comfortable rooms, and the outstanding food already made the experience unforgettable

We are absolutely certain that this won’t be our last visit to the Karafuu Hotel — we can’t wait to return

There is entertainment most of the night and twice a week there is massai dinner/entertainment

Absolutely excellent Fantastic location, great staff, very friendly and efficient. Led by a brilliant General Manager. Good food and very pleasant thematic evenings with shows.

The beach and pool was very nice. Food was hit and miss as certain items were repeated. Our Butler Ramson was provided with our Jungle Villa was excellent and his service was impeccable

Overall we had a wonderful time. Access road to the hotel is really bad. All dishes should be named and allergies taken seriously. A table and chair would be useful in the rooms

Loved the service and how the staff always paid attention to customers. This resort overfed me lol!! Highly recommended..

Overall we enjoyed the hotel amenities and food

The day we checked out we were told that we would have to pay for any food and drink consumed after the 11:00 check-out time! We raised the fact that we had not been able to have anything in the first day as we were delayed to which they agreed we could have lunch but no drinks, despite the fact that in theory we could have drink as much as we wanted while we were there
