3 star hotels in Mjini Magharibi Region

Our experience at Garden Beach was more than a vacation. It was a true and authentic experience. We received everything we needed and more. The property is managed exclusively by locals, and we were truly fortunate. It's definitely the best food and beverage service you'll find in Jambiani. The bungalows are spacious and meticulously clean. Waking up and looking out over the ocean is a privilege that...

We came here for Christmas and New Year after a busy year we needed to relax. This property is amazing the food,staff and location second to non.Our room was cleaned every day to a very high standard.The staff cannot do enough for you to ensure you holiday is a memorable one.Jambiani beach is white sand,clear seas and great for snorkeling.A massive thank-you to Vanessa for a great holiday.see you this...

We had a stay with mixed experiences. The beach, the ocean, and the surroundings are fantastic. However, when it comes to the accommodation itself—and especially the management—there is much to be desired. - The employed staff did their best under the circumstances. When we pointed out the unreasonableness of adding a 5% surcharge on all card payments, despite this not being permitted by the authorities...

Beautiful location , resort and rooms. Food and service was second to none. A piece of paradise in Jambiani, will definitely be back.

There It is one of the most beautiful and attractive places. I am really happy with the services here. They make good drinks that you can't really FIND anywhere else. They also have delicious and unique food. The chefs want the guest to be happy all the time. They are also very polite. This place is really interesting and overall the stuff is very good and they care a lot. Thank you to the kitchen...

We had a great time for one of our honeymoon stops, the beach is very relaxed, moreso than others we went too. Swimming is good as the tide is coming in or going out but the beach is very flat so between those, it goes out a long ways. They will help book tours and drivers. We got to enjoy live music on Tuesday nights which was great. Our room was the suite directly above the bar which can be a little...

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.

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...

Great place to stay. Friendly stuff, confortablr rooms, good food and best entertiment team ever. Clean pool, security 24/7, show every evening, not too many people. Stable wifi and electricity. Quite nights, every toom with terrace and monkeys arround

We stayed in this little resort fro one week and we couldn't ask for anything better. The staff was kind and always available to help you. The cuisine is delicious and we could also ask for snacks all day long with all inclusive package. It overlooks Nungwi beach with is the most iconic in Zanzibar. Hope to come back!

pleasant hotel in the garden. could have been more green. large rooms simply furnished. pictures are missing. the mattresses in room 109 are as hard as concrete, but this is not the case in all rooms. the beach is great, clean and you can swim all day. small tides. sometimes noise from the hotel next door. nightlife weak.beautiful sunsets. small choice of food in the restaurant if you are longer...

Vera Sunset Beach Resort in Zanzibar boasts a splendid location right by the beach, offering picturesque views and a serene atmosphere. Overall, the resort provides a pleasant experience; however, there are areas that could use improvement. While the food was average, the lack of an à la carte option was a bit disappointing. The drinks, though adequate, seemed slightly diluted. Additionally, our room...

Rooms of a decent standard, efficient air conditioning, working fridge, safe for free. Great lunches and dinners, something different every day, always tasty. Cold beer and a choice of red and white wine with lunch and dinner. The drinks in the ALL option are very weak, basically just something similar to juice. All alcoholic beverages are charged extra $6 each. The only problem is the animations,...

Welcome to Paradise - Great Price Value We have known this property since the early beginnings. First time was in 2015. We saw several managers come and go. This month, the hotel was reopened by a lovely British/Tanzanian couple and they are here to stay. It has only 12 rooms and you have a great view. Garden is beautiful and chickens are running around. This is a place where you can really relax...

It was butiq hotel experience than no high expectations, ower and wife still around. I stay this place back 2014 and last year but just had time to write about it. If you don’t get there everything easy and helpful. We had issues with internal small airline I end up getting 2 more time of island ticket. Anyway just do it one time of deal and don’t forget do red monkey tour.

Very nice hotel! The owner especially. They helped us with everything, organizing tours, giving tips, getting the transfers. Highly recommended. The staff is very friendly. Super close to the beach, they even have their own beach bar!

One of the best boutique hotels on the Island. With it's calm atmosphere and kind staff it's an absolutely must to visit in Zanzibar. The food was amazing. Everything about this place was perfect for us.

The perfect place for an authentic Zanzibar experience! We stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks and were more than happy with our experience! The food is delicious, the rooms are very spacious and the staff are super friendly. This small, typical hotel is located in an authentic village, with a private beach just a 1-minute walk away. This may seem surprising at first glance, but in reality the place...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **A Hidden Gem in Zanzibar!** My stay at Zan View Hotel was nothing short of magical. Nestled on a hilltop above the charming fishermen's village of Kairo, this hotel offers breathtaking views and a true Zanzibari experience. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the pristine white sands of Kiwengwa Beach. The staff at Zan View Hotel are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure...

Utupoa is PURE BLISS!We arrived late, but our transfer was sorted - thanks for the smooth pickup! Joyce, Maria and all the staff made us feel at home instantly - they (and everyone else!) go ABOVE AND BEYOND. Food? Fabulous! Beaches? Stunning, with epic walks. 💕. Our upstairs room was spacious, cool, and had VIEWS FOR DAYS (pool + beach = perfection). But what really made our stay special was the wonderful...

Utupoa was the absolute highlight of our trip! The staff really made the experience special, Maria was so sweet and kind, Noura was amazing, and Joyce, the owner, was just incredible. She has such a warm, welcoming energy and truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. You can tell how much love she’s put into the place, and it shows in everything from the shared dinners to the way she makes...

Joyce, Freddie and her staff make you feel as a part of their family direct. Very welcoming, service minded and including. We stayed there three days and celebrate new year at the hotel. The staff arranged a nice dinner buffe and party afterwards. Super good! The two rooms we stayed at were good and had a good standard. Eating dinner with the rest of the guest was fun and a very good concept. The food...

We booked this and it was fabulous. Joyce (owner) and her staff, including Freddie (daughter-social media/logistics) made our stay the best. It was such a personal experience with great food, community of guests coupled with a unique place that we came away with memory cocktails. Joyce facilitated our transportation, snorkeling and made the experience both simple and enjoyable. Her commitment to her...

Our stay at Utupoa was probably one of the best weeks of our lives! After having just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro a relaxing week in Zanzibar is what we sought and Utupoa was literal paradise. With the beach literally on the back door and the incredible vibes of this extensive tree house- like building it was the most idyllic location. I can’t not mention Joyce, the owner. Joyce was the kindest, funnest...

We visited Utupoa a year ago and will never forget our stay. Joyce is a wonderful host and her team of staff looked after us very well. The house is quirky and eclectic, which we loved. The location is right on the beach with beautiful sunrise views from the balcony. The beach is one of the finest on the island. Matemwe itself gives you a more authentic vibe than some of the other more commercial...

This was an excellent spot to stay, quiet beach, really lovely sized room. Great pool. Staff were really attentive without being in the way. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Also try the gnocchi from the restaurant it was exceptional!

We had spent the first part of our honeymoon in Tanzania mainland, doing a safari. When arriving on Zanzibar, we had a very unfortunate event. We had booked a horrible hotel in Nungwi, which risked destroying our honeymoon. We started searching around and found this beautiful boutique hotel "Milele Beach Resort". This beautiful hotel is owned and operated by the italian power-woman Lisa (Isabella...

The ocean front bungalow, the staff were exceptional very attentive, more staff than guests, the food was good. The quietness, the ambience Bathroom too dark, no magnifying mirror, nothing going on in the evening. Concrete under the sand in front of our bungalow, banged my toes a few times This was being covered as we was leaving, not sure if this would remedy the problem, but it is not dangerous...

This resort is an easy 10 out of 10. We absolutely loved this very special place and could not recommend it enough. The location is good, the rooms are lovely, the pool and amenities are very good, the restaurant is also amazing! Loved all the food we had there, it was all delicious. The owner Lisa was lovely and made us feel very welcome and right at home and she went above and beyond for us. The...

Fantastic family run boutique hotel right on the water! What a gem! Rooms are fantastic, bathroom is very spacious, the location is ideal (right on the beach), restaurant is very cute and stays open till late and Lisa, the manager is the soul of the place! Excellent staff that treated us like family! The welcome was also phenomenal - champagne and a small bite that made us feel very special on our...

Milele Beach Resort was the perfect choice for to spend a few days by the Indian Ocean. The resort is right on the oceanfront, the entrance of our bungalow was no further than 30 meters from the waves - it was majestic to listen the swell at night. The resort only has four rooms and four bungalows - a true boutique hotel. Our bungalow was comfortable and spacious, all made of natural materials, mainly...

The hotel is really boutique and cute ! It’s right on the water which is amazing & the pool is perfect for when the tide is low. The breakfast was perfect nothing too over the top, but a lot of options! Only downfall was there was a storm and the power went out and they were having issues with the generator so we didn’t have power and then when we did get power it kept going on and off in the middle...

Incredible view, incredible hotel. The views are incredible, they almost look photoshopped. I’ve never seen an ocean so blue and sand so white. The bar staff and hotel crew were amazingly kind, they went above and beyond for us as well as the other guests we met there along the way. The rooms themself are very modern with a solid WiFi connection and powerful Air conditioning. Plenty of electrical...

Dont go here on a Monday Very nice hotel next to the beach, friendly staff. But dont go here on a Monday! We have stayed at noisy hotels in bar streets before, but this was something else. The hotel is literally a nightclub on every Monday, where it is impossible to sleep. Our holiday was ruined because of that. Would be nice to be informed before we booked our stay and not on our arrival. Except...

I choose Coral Rock because it was an oceanfront, had a restaurant, a party scene, a pool and nice rooms. The staff was friendly and customer service was great. As a solo traveler most importantly I felt safe. The rooms were clean and had everything except a phone, face towels, a refrigerator, conditioner or a TV. Luckily, I didn’t need those things I was there to try the local food as well attempt...

Nice stay at Coral rocks Overall the stay was good, staff was friendly and breakfast was good. Some maintenance to the premises wouldn’t hurt and maybe a bit bigger menu would been nice but there are other good dining options near by. Pool is nice and cleaned every morning, they arranged good taxi (Bino) that took us to Jozani forest. All in all the stay was good and the view from the restaurant/breakfast...

Good food, good service, everything was okay except my room door was unlock, despite maintenance service, otherwise excellent service

We enjoyed our stay at Asmini Palace. From the pre-trip communication with Mohammed, the manager, who kindly reserved our room for us, to the receptionist (sorry I forgot his name), the service was very welcoming. We had a triple room and the beds were very comfortable. Thank God, during our time in Stone Town the electricity was only cut during the day when we were out, so the AC worked well at night...

Ok place, good location. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but we changed it to 1 night. Try to negotiate the rates. The rooms are clean. Shower is open in the bathroom it doesn't have a partition. Water pressure is very low. There are noises in the evening from the street and you can hear the noise from the hotel lobby as the hotel is built in an old way so the rooms are not very well isolated...

Good in overall Good breakfast Helpful staff Location is within the town center

The staff made the hotel worth staying The staff was beyond .

I love this place . Close to airport, quiet, with beautiful, friendly nice staff 😍. food is fresh and delicious. Cons: rooms is not brand new, sometimes electricity goes out. but that's ok. we will definitely come back

Very friendly staff, nice service

One of the most attentive staff. It was just a short stay but they’ve done everything for our comfort. Best place for a short stay ! Highly recommended !

We stayed there just for one day and it's all about your expectations. Hotel are 5 min a way from airport I think that is why it a bit overpriced. They have AC and fan which is good but as for me...to dark room and not enough air...very dusty. 80% of the time wifi are not working. Restaurant are OK...but be prepared for million flies around while you eating 🙈

Room are so good and adorable staff are helpful and good services 🥰

We had a wonderful 7-day stay at Seles, where we celebrated both Christmas and a birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better place to do so. The staff were incredibly helpful and truly engaged in planning the perfect birthday, which made the day extra memorable. One of the things that really gave the place it’s soul was the cozy and relaxed atmosphere, where locals also stop by for a beer. It created...

The perfect place to relax during the heat of the day. Lush vegetation and a great pool. The cabins were clean, comfortable, well presented and reasonably priced. The service was excellent - a big shout out to Jovin and Mariam who made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious and they also have wonderful live music. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

Lovely place, the balcony in the main area where you can watch the sea and zanzibar life is so nice! It is a very charming place. There is a very helpful and friendly staff. They try everything to make you happy. If something does not work they try everything to fix it.

It was very good, guys just keep going. Only good words for you. Food, housekeeping, bar, always with big smile. We will remember forever this great positive vibes. I hope we will comeback again in the future. Stay like this Seles don't change nothing. ❤️

The staff are very nice and friendly,Hotel is located in the ocean plus they have a very beautiful terrace where you can see the view ocean, food also is very good-Norberth is good organizer for every thing in the hotel, we feel very happy see you soon

A little friendly paradise on the beach. I travelled with my two teenagers. Good food and fresh fruit every morning. Very nice atmosphere and staff. Music in the evenings. Clean rooms, mosquito nets. The staff helped me to book a driver from the ferry and boat trip (snorkelling, we saw dolphins!)

Great experience and service at affordable price. Bed and breakfast for 2 cost 80,000tsh. Breakfast on the roof with sea view is amazing they serve fruits omelet chapati and tea. Located near the ferry 5 - 10 mins walk. Service wise, they need to improve on providing toiletries and water. Wifi is available on each floor. Thank you for your services.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Ok location if you are heading to the ferry. But a bit tucked away. I wouldn't recommend for solo travelers. The price is a bit high for what you get. The rooms are simple and a bit sad looking. But they have everything you need: fan, AC, hot and cold shower with good preasure. The breakfast on the rooftop is quite disappointing. This place could be so much...

It is good for the price. It is near a fish market so expectedly it smells a bit like fish. The rooftop breakfast was great and the people that work there are eager to help. The plumbing in the bathroom could use an upgrade.

Really nice stay on a budget! The service was amazing, we got a lot of help from the reception and especially their offer for different tourist activities (for a good price) was much appreciated. Did blue safari, spice tour and city tour, and would have loved to try even more if our stay was longer. Wifi, functional breakfast with fruits, tea, juice and eggs, a nice location close to the ferry port...

Very good hotel not too far from ferry and with reasonable prices . Building in and out looks like it was built or remodelled not long time ago so you can expect many things still like new here. Nice terrace on the rooftop where you can have awesome breakfast at mornings. Highly recommend!

It was such a pleasant experience to stay at this wonderful place. The location was peaceful, calm and the staff were really kind and always available whenever needed.10/10, would go back there again. 🫶

I was a guest here last year and now a resident. It is a great location and beautiful place. Mary is our Manager with a beautiful heart. I'm always so happy to come home after traveling. The staff (now family) help me with everything from, health, shopping, logistics and Cooking. Safe, friendly clean with a beautiful clean pool There so much I can say nice about here but not enough space. Peace and...

john and mary are very good people they helped me in my journey with kindness and admiring to serve me with all of their heart thanks for being there for me and inshallah I will meet you again 🤍🤍🤍🫡

Nice place good services it ain't that expensive it enables different kind of people go at that place

It is far from stone town(25 minutes), Breakfast is very bad and there is no lunch and dinner. You need to go to stone town and need to pay for to go and coming back 20$ every day for lunch and dinner. Single matres is very hard, not confortible. You can't sleep on that matress more than one hour up to morning. Swiming pool is small but was very clean and good.

I had a great time at this place! The staff is so amazing and friendly, especially the young lady Vanessa. I definitely want to come back and spend more time at PiliPili beach house. Asanteni sana 🤍

The staff are exceptional. Lovely beautiful people. The food really good and accosted my food allergies. The view when you walk in is beautiful. The staff helped me pull off Birthday party for best friend turning 50. They came out singing for her. She was so surprised and happy.

Very helpful and friendly staff👌🏼, Daily Events which makes your day absolutely wonderful, If you’re looking for a small nice hotel around Jambiani here’s the one. Highly recommended Pilipili house✅

I saw this hotel from the beach, looked inside and when i saw the rooms and prices… i just moved there immidiately! This was a great choice. Climat in this please is impossible to forge. You have my recomendation 100%

If you are looking for a place, where you can spend time with local people with great food, nice music, OCEAN VIEW ❤️ they are best. You will remember this time for ever. See you in december Hasan! 🌴🌴🌴

This was the most amazing dinner I ever had... I asked for special dinner with my boyfriend, and what chefs did was incredible. This was what really stick in my memory from this time. Of course great rooms, and cosmetics in bathroom(this shower gel.. OMG)

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in March, 2026 and had a 2 bed room. The room was spacious but the back bedroom had no window or effective air conditioning. This resulted in the 3rd person in our group sleeping on the bench with a thin mattress in order to have some air conditioning. The water in the shower was barely warm and never hot. The restaurant was ok and the buffet breakfast was...

My stay at Nungwi Garden Boutique Hotel was truly amazing. The staff were incredibly sweet and helpful from the first day. Housekeeping was done perfectly every single day, and they always made sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. After 6 nights, the manager Emanuel kindly offered me a complimentary night, knowing that the booking was originally made for 4 people but we came as 2. Such a thoughtful...

Best hotel to be, great services, staff feels like a family, their baristas excellent, ambient environment, cool breeze, few meters to the ocean, nice clean pool, not noisy. In short, it was worthy my travel from Kenya. Excellent I will be back again!!!

The best service and warm welcome 🙏 🤗. I get the value for money by receiving the five star service during my stay with my family

Natural Garden Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar is a true paradise on earth. From the very first moment, there is peace and quiet , the perfect place to truly relax and escape from everyday life. The rooms are incredibly clean and comfortable, and the surroundings full of tropical greenery make you feel like you’re in an oasis. The atmosphere at the hotel is exceptional, thanks to the amazing people who...

Beautiful place with the friendliest staff and super breakfast. Very central between the party hub and Nungwi village. Beautiful beaches. We will be back.

Arya is a cute smallish resort in Kiwenga, in a part that seems to be dominated by Italian investors. Rooms are cosy, beautiful, clean. Staff is very friendly and honest. Owner Laura was fantastic in welcoming us and arranged a wonderful surprise for us. The pool was warm and inviting. Breakfast is not on par with European (italian) breakfasts, however better than most others in Tanzania. The breakfast...

Stayed one night at tha Arya Boutique Hotel. Beautiful oasis only steps from the beach. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate and Laura the owner was easily accessible and very professional. Breakfast was amazing ! And the resident cat was very cute and cuddly. Well situated location to do all of your excursions!

We have stayed here for 4 nights in February 2023 (Suite with a pool terrace). The room was nice and clean, the terrace in front of the pool was absolutely amazing. We had the pool practically for ourselves and it was a heaven for my 7 years old daughter. The staff is super nice, helpful and full of warmth. Highly recommend it!

The best hotel in kiwengwa!!! Laura is amazing, taking care of everything and make sure you will feel comfortable and have fun from your staying. We stayed for 4 nights for our honeymoon and everything was perfect! The room is amazing and the staff are so kindly. We will definitely come back ❤️

Stayed here in December family of 4 . What a beautiful little gem! A lot of greenery , good sized pool and netflix is a plus for the kids . The people and the service are amazing ! We booked all the outside excursions through the hotel and it is highly recommended to do so! It is a Couple of steps away from the beach . The rooms are clean, breakfast is yummy and there are restaurants around the hotel...
