I completely recommend this hotel. The room was spacious, the staff was lovely and they cleaned the rooms every day. One of the cleaners, Hassan was exceptional, every time he cleaned the room he left us “messages” on the bed sheets, written by flowers. The Wi-Fi issue we read in many of the reviews was solved on the premises, they just built devices that strengths the wifi connection on the day of our arrival. It worked well in our room as well. Once our AC did not work properly, but we informed the reception and it was fixed by the time we got back from our dinner. The food in the restaurant was delicious and well prepared. Breakfast was OK, they served a variety of fruit every morning. The beach was fantastic.

The room is really beautiful,big enough for us. Equipment in the room is great,AC and vent was working,bed was good. The whole resort was beautiful and big and looked like a new. Way to the beach is through green yard full of green and lush plants. Beach is so long, you can choose sunbeds(with umbrella) for free, but they are too many so you have little space between them. Beautiful beach,great for walks,great for playing sports and great swimming. Friendly Masais at the beach,we had nice chat with them. Breakfast-they prepare a lot of food for breakfast,but I would say sometimes less is more. In overall it is great choice if you are looking for nice big place full of people. It is worth the money for sure(we had 3 accomodations so we can compare) you have nice big room,with nice garden and perfect beach. Location is great,near are restaurants, markets...

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel at home from the very beginning. The location is perfect, just a few steps away from the beach, and the atmosphere is both relaxing and authentic. We also loved the food – it was absolutely delicious and one of the highlights of our stay. What we liked the most was the combination of the amazing staff, the great location, and the quality of the food. Everything came together to create a truly memorable experience.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs. Noise, pollution and danger from reckless jet ski drivers. DANGEROUS & Pollution

The staff and the location mostly. The restaurant is also good. The staff made me feel very welcomed, they are super! The hotel is owned by a local who cares about the clients. The location is the best in Kendwa and that is basically what you pay for and for having a private area on the beach with free chairs and umbrellas. There is always someone next to that area so you can keep your things safely. Towels for the beach are provided free of charge.

Clean, very friendly staff, five minutes walk to Kendwa beach, delicious breakfast, and amazing dinner. Juma is an excellent chef. Hassan (the owner) is always there to help, in case you need anything. Ali will make your day, always cheerful 😀. If you are looking for a budget accomodation in Zanzibar, this is definitely the place. Will definitely come back again.
