Hotels

We list hotels we have stayed at, or visited, so we can give you first-hand information.

There is no official grading or star rating of hotels on Zanzibar. Any ratings by agents are very subjective and may not accurately reflect the hotel standard.

We have grouped hotels according to the type of hotel they are. We do not book at hotels below a standard which people may expect when booking with a tour operator or travel agent.

Small and exclusive hotels

Resort style hotels

Mid-size and smaller hotels

Hotel Prices: Unless indicated, the rates given for each hotel are based on standard rooms in low season, and are per person, sharing in a twin or double room. Most beach hotels are on a half board basis as the alternatives for evening meals are not easily accessible.
