Anastasiya, May 2025
Pros (+) The room was clean and big, with beautiful view, I can enjoy the sea view right from my bed. The territory of the hotel was nice and clean, we enjoyed spending time on the beach. The beach was beautiful and quiet, the people was not bothered us like in another beaches in Zanzibar. The hotel is perfect for those who like enjoy nature and also who like quiet places and don’t care about service too m...
Cons (-) A bit far from everything (but it’s good for people who like quietness). Also services could be better, in our 2 night the was no people to cook breakfast, apparently cook didn’t come, we still get some eggs and bread, quite interesting experience 😃 If you planning go by yourself to the hotel, google maps will not guide you correct way.

Pros (+) Beautiful hotel in very calm and peaceful place. Nobody would bother you here so you can really relax and enjoy Zanzibar. I had a double room with ocean view and it was fantastic, you can see the ocean from your bed. The room is very comfortable, all furniture is new, there is everything you need. Hotel is ecofriendly and use reusable glass bottles for water. The chef is very professional and cook...

Muriël, Mar 2025
Pros (+) The villa was beautifully decorated, comfortable and private. The direct access onto the beach was very nice. Cleaning was one daily. Nice touch was the water bowl outside decorated with fresh flowers to wash off sand from your feet. Asia, the manager, was very helpful when I was ill with food poisoning from our earlier stay in Stone Town.
Cons (-) The hotel was very remote. Good for a short stay to unwind but for us too far from anywhere. If you want to see more places around you would need to rent a car/scooter or book excursions. We did not like the food very much. The menu was very limited, although you would always have the option to ask for special requests off the menu. We did try that a few times but the cooking was not to our taste ...

Pros (+) The villa was beautifully decorated, comfortable and private. The direct access onto the beach was very nice. Cleaning was done daily. Nice touch was the water bowl outside decorated with fresh flowers to wash off sand from your feet.
Cons (-) The hotel was very remote. Good for a stay of max 2 nights to unwind but for us too far from anywhere. If you want to see more of places around you would need to rent a car or scooter or book excursions. We didnt like the food (menu very limited with only 3 or 4 dishes to choose from) and there were no other restaurants in the area to go to. Breakfast was ok, some fresh fruit, bread/baked choices,...

Pros (+) Stunning villa on a beautiful quiet beach. Exactly what we wanted! Away from the busy crowds. The villa, restaurant and facilities were all clean, modern and tastefully done. Food in the restaurant was absolutely fantastic! Best food on our two week trip. Staff were all so friendly and went above and beyond.
Cons (-) The shower was the only let down, it was either boiling hot or cold. Apart from that everything else was perfect

Cara, Feb 2025
Pros (+) The room was fantastic - beautifully designed, private and right on the beach which is rare for Zanzibar. The pool is a generous size for the size of the lodge. The staff are very kind. The beach is a remote corner of the island with not much going on which was a plus for me as I wanted to be somewhere peaceful away from crowds and beach boys. The menu changes each day so the food is very fresh.
Cons (-) The menu is a little limited but the staff are happy to try and accommodate any requests.
