Hotels in Nungwi

We had a lovely time in this hotel, it’s a little paradise. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful also with program recommendations. They have a very good restaurant and also a beach bar with sunbeds and with an extraordinary view. The fruits they gave with the breakfast were very tasty. The rooms were clean and they sprayed our room every day with antimosquito spray. They offer a lot of programs...

The hotel has a great ambience, along with a lovely pool and well‑maintained amenities, making the stay relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were truly friendly and helpful, always readily available when we needed assistance. One of the highlights is the excellent location, very close to Nungwi Beach, which made it easy to spend time by the beach and fully enjoy the surroundings. The restaurant staff...

I definitely recommend staying at Maisha. Calm location and close to Nungwi beach and central area. Clean rooms and amazing service. A massive shoutout to their staff: all of them very friendly, helpful, polite and always with a smile. Interaction with guests was beyond any place I have stayed before! Well done to all of the team!

The Maisha Nungwi was a wonderful place to start our honeymoon! The people were extraordinary, friendly and helpful. The Beach Bar/Restaurant is awesome, the food is great, the view is beautiful. We recommend booking the Nungwi walking Tour with Izzy (!) The dolphin/snorkelling experience was also great. There were some small "hiccups" like a lot of mosquitos even tho the hotel tries to keep them away...

We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at Nungwi Beach Boutique Hotel. They have great location. It is true, that it is not on the beach, but it is a minute away. As well as their second bigger restaurant, which is on the beach and has an amazing sunset atmosphere at the dinner. We enjoyed food there very much and staff was so friendly. The room was clean and well equipped with both air conditioning...

The hotel is great, 2 little pools inside the garden, stuff are super nice. There is a beach club owned by the hotel. Beach chairs, food & drinks are all within a walkable distance. Downside - wifi is not very stable inside the hotel, beach club has a better connection in general. The water stopped twice when i wanted to take a shower, eventually i went down to the pool shower.

There are renovated rooms, as well as old rooms. Some rooms have a refrigerator, some rooms do not. The air conditioner is located directly above the bed, and the blanket is a sheet. In the old rooms there is no partition between the toilet and shower. The location is great, if not for the "den" on the nearest street, where local drinkers hang out)) You will definitely not be able to pass unnoticed...

Beautiful spot, overlooks the ocean. Hot showers, fresh breakfast (fruits, juice, tea or coffee, eggs and toast), and very kind staff. The restaurant in front of it is AMAZING too. Our group loved it.

Nice place considering the price. I had to switch rooms because the air conditioning didn't work. Location was great, right on the beach.

+ Great location and not very expensive. +Beach is really good, swimming even at low tide possible. - Standard breakfast: toast and omelet. (2 additional tests cost $2). - Service is super slow. - Mosquito net has holes. - Internet slow

As far as I can tell it's the cheapest place that you are looking at the beach off the porch or balcony. I paid 30$ for a room with a fan and an AC room costs 40$. I have peeked at other rooms that are nice but my room is unsophisticated ( no nightstands there is a space for a wardrobe but not one there!) Not dingy though and cleaned every day. The bathroom is a little lacking. Old but not terrifying...

This stay was honestly something out of a dream. Having a room that overlooks the beach was already incredible, but the private mini pool took the whole experience to another level. Sitting in the pool while enjoying the endless ocean view it truly felt like an infinity escape. Waking up to the sound of the waves and that uninterrupted view of the sea was so peaceful and refreshing. It’s the kind...

Amazing location. This hotel is right on the beach and had an excellent restaurant. The management was extremely kind and went to the pharmacy for us to pick up some medication for sea sickness. This hotel could use some refreshing. My room air-conditioner leaked all over my clothes. But they were very efficient in drying my clothes. One suggestion I would make is that the rooms that are not in...

Requested and got the best room...seafront with the sound of the sea plus the colours of the water made this a very memorable stay.Great pool to be a lounge lizard if desired.Beautiful surroundings and quiet atmosphere.Service and staff exceptional. N.B.It's a one and half hour drive from to/ the airport.Don't let that deter you!

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff was phenomenal and extremely accommodating. If you’re looking for a large sandy beach just steps away from your hotel this may not be your place. There is a beautiful pool overlooking the ocean and a very small and rocky beach area. It was extremely quiet and family friendly! We enjoyed being away from crowds of tourists and vendors. One thing to improve upon is...

Just returned from this great hotel last week, Myself and Wife had eleven nights staying in a ocean front deluxe room which was well appointed with a comfortable bed and smashing views over the sea/reef, fitted our needs completely. The swimming pool area was well maintained and serviced with just a handful of guests on most days offering such a relaxing and tranquil experience, so good that we only...

Tucked away in a quieter part of Nungwi, Warere Beach Hotel is a charming escape with 19 thoughtfully designed rooms, including family suites and oceanfront accommodations. Each room features air conditioning, WiFi, terraces or balconies, and safes, ensuring comfort and convenience. Guests can unwind at the poolside bar, savor delicious meals at the on-site restaurant, or indulge in relaxing treatments...

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...

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...

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,...

We had really great time in this hotel. It was aboslutely amazing. All staff were really friendly and wery helpful. Room was a bit basic (we booked deluxe room), but it was clean and had everything you need. We has problem with the shower and it was solved very fast. The location is perfect, the restaurant is also good. Thanks for receptionist Bella and all staff from the restaurant (girls from breakfast...

They made traveling with a baby very easy. Staff is personally invested in the guests and very welcoming. We had a great experience with Gloria, Noella and Scolla. The chef is really good with baking and pastries. The hotel has a good location for swimming in low tide (clean beach) or high tide (water comes up to the steps of the deck so it is beautiful). Only comment: bathroom fittings are a bit old...

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Zenobia Hotel! The beachfront location is absolutely gorgeous waking up to the sound of the waves and the stunning view was a highlight of the trip. The resort is also perfectly situated, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away, making it easy to explore the area. The hotel itself has a great restaurant with delicious food, so you don’t even need...

Good place for you to stay central to shops and restaurants and beach activities are great the place is a bit run down with faulty aircon units No TV's and No cettels in rooms on the down side in the surrounding area the security /local beach Boys will swarm woman and girls if not accompanied by men and drugs are freely available But I would come again to stay

Nice restaurant with great food and music. Rooms wear okay, but to many people hassling you for money, to buy things both near the rooms and on the beach.

Superb Hotels and Great price Value for money Family Get Away Peaceful. Great Sea View Beach Hotel with Resturant. Crystal clear water can see different colors in the ocean on the beach.

Top notch service. Ras Nungwi is about an hour north of Stonetown and more than worth the slightly bumpy ride :) This place blew us away from the very beginning. Reception greeted us with cold towels, refreshing juice and a smile. Horace provided exceptional service and gave us the lay of the land while introducing us to all Ras Nungwi has to offer. You can lounge on plush beach beds in the sun or...

Calm nice place. Good quiet family stay. Good for relaxing. Very good restaurant, good cook, and friendly service.

White fine sand. Long shallow beach during both high and low tides. Clean above and below water. Nice corals and fishes 20m out. Some harassing peddlers but not too bad.

Nice clean, almost e clusive beach. Peaceful and isolated. Nice shallow areas to swim in, like swimming in a pool.....so calm

Fantastic place,big, excelent service, beatifull, clean, first class ford and drinks

The best of all beach sides of zanzibar was in the list of best beaches of africa in world travel award 2025 .. Nungwi offers everything. Crime Free .. the most happening place of zanzibar ..

Great experience. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay again. Thank you 🩷

Planning to stay for 1 day, ending up staying for 1 week. Two words: GREAT PLACE! Very personal approach, quiet, great pool, very nice staff and owner. Thanks Tracey, w’ll be back!

Fantastic personal working in the hotel. The rooms are very clean and confortable. The airline lost our luggage and the director called several times to retrieve our bags. 100% recommendable!

Simple, but clean rooms. Nice garden and friendly staff. Well located (approx. 5 min. to the beach), road after rain sometimes not accessible for pedestrians. Affordable prices. Suitable for families/children.

Great location, great beach bar, best bartenders (Andrew and Juma). Had the most memorable nights here hanging out with the staff! Food was also pretty good and affordable. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Easy beach access with nice upper level for high tides

We had a wonderful stay at this resort in Zanzibar, located right on the oceanfront. The location is spectacular, with beautiful views and a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The accommodation in bungalows is very pleasant spacious, clean, and well integrated into the tropical landscape, offering privacy and comfort. The resort offers many relaxation areas, and the sound of the ocean accompanies...

We stayed here for a week after our safari. The hotel is slightly out of the main resort, but there are lots of places to eat & drink nearby still. The rooms were lovely and clean - we had Sunrise, which had a lovely view out to sea. The bar was very relaxed and did great food, I can highly recommend the pizza! All the staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a trip to Stone Town via the hotel and...

An outstanding resort to relax and unwind in Zanzibar. We visited at the end of a safari on the mainland and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Although the rooms are small, most of our time was spent in hammocks, at the overwater bar and restaurant and walking along the beach at low tide. Margaret and her team couldn’t do enough for us and ensured we always had what we needed. Definitely...

Beautiful ambient surroundings & clean environment by the sea with friendly staff. & serving tasty food as well. Good deals are also offered to non- residents who wish to swim & have meals in the hotel as well.

The location was great! Away from the beach boys and quiet. Bathroom had no roof so was open to the whole room and stairs to the upper bed were very steep. Shower was questionable but we had a great time and the staff were attentive.

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.

Amazing stay, had a great welcoming where the manager showed us all the facilities, that were very clean. Breakfast was served on the porch with the staff being highly tentative. The manager was very accommodating and help us book trip and made the stay excellent.

Flame Tree is a beautiful and authentic hotel, perfect for anyone who loves nature and quiet places. The garden feels like a tropical oasis, and the beach is just a few steps away with clean sand and a stunning ocean view. Rooms are clean, and the staff is very kind and friendly. No loud music, just calm atmosphere, birds, and the sound of the ocean. A perfect place to relax and enjoy Zanzibar.

Lovely property, friendly staff, good food at restaurant. On site massages and facials were nice.

We had a wonderful stay here. The staff was very friendly. Especially Agnes. What an energy. Situated close to the beach they had their own dhow. We took a trip with it to Mnemba and saw many dolphins and we did some nice snorkeling. It’s no guarantee to see the dolphins because we recommended the trip to other guests and they had bad luck with the dolphins only in deeper water. Hakuna Matata.

Nice vibe/style. Very nice people. Excellent breakfast. Good cocktails. And nice beach / dinner garden with breathtaking sunsets.

It was a great stay. March was not a busy period so the hotel was basically empty. Very clean place. They have a swimming pool. Service was great. This place is right at the oceanside. The owner has an old authentic boat. It's vclasdic! And you can hire it .

Pretty house on the beach, surrounded by greenery and blooming shrubs. What's not to like? Right? Not quite... The sad truth is that to get the level of comfort we the privileged tourists who can afford traveling to Zanzibar are used to, the business needs to be run by those who understand that level of comfort. It doesn't look like local businesses know what's expected. Our biggest complaint was...

Amazingly beautiful place, very friendly host, delicious breakfast, comfy, clean and stylish room, secluded sand bank and the most stunning beach you’ve ever been on, definitely would recommend staying here.

Cozy and relaxed lodges by a fantastic beach. The staff and service are great. The rooms are not those of a star hotel, but it is very good value for the price.

Wow, this place is a small paradise. Just a few guests, such a great privat beach and the owners are very friendly. We can reccommend that place highly. Very quiet and peaceful. The rooms have an excellent view on the ocean. Food was delicious. Thanks to Omar and everyone, we would definitely come back.

We didn't stay there. He walked from the northern hotel down the beach, arrived there. Talked like 3-4 minutes with somebody from the stuff. He left us quite a positive impression. The whole place looked like it had a good vide, restaurant looked cool.

I liked their Zanzibar fish cakes 👌🏾

This place is gorgeous, and the staff are really lovely locals. We wanted to stay in places that are run by locals rather than the big hotels that are usually owned by foreign businesses. Plus, the bungalow is super comfortable and the setting is magic, nestled in nature with lovely trees and plants all around. Breakfasts are fantastic, they’re everything you could need. All in all, it’s a perfect...

Amazing bungalows in the quiet part of Nunqwi. We had a great time , the place was clean , the room was comfortable ! The breakfast was very tasty, and our wishes were taken into account . Thanks to Miraj , the guy who was taken care of us during our stay at Zanzi with welcome drinks , helpful advice , recommendations, and a good company during the evening drink. My family of 4 has a great time ....

By far the BEST value for money place in the area. It is people that make a place great - and the service staff were so friendly. My wife and I stayed for 3 days. We recommend it highly.

Very nice place with friendly staff and tasty food in affordable prices.
