"I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area.
I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely.
At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled...

"O pessoal do hotel é maravilhoso, me ajudou em vários temos que eram fora do escopo da minha estadia no hotel. Conseguiram um transporte para o hotel, me conseguiram outro hotel e as meninas que trabalham lá são ótimas. Os quartos são lindos, com decoração africana e muito limpos. O restaurante tem muitas opções de comida, com preços excelentes. A piscina estava muito limpa e boa. Uns 7 minutos andando da praia. "

"MINUS 10 STARS!!
Went from bad to worse from the time we arrived.
From having a mess in 1 room since they were building a bed, no toiletries at all as mentioned,
Water was not working properly; lights went off in 1 room and the ac and water not working in another.
Then went in total darkness with no back-up generator available and we were told it happens all the time.
Staff was hard to find even with a 'reception' area.
All around a horrible experience. Plus, we forgot to take 1 item...

"I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with this hotel owner. We paid $2,700 for what was clearly sold to us as a 3-day tour, but after payment it was suddenly reduced to only 2 days with no proper explanation or refund.
To make matters worse, we were left at the airport without any transportation arranged, despite this being part of what was discussed. Since then, the owner has ignored our messages and refused to respond or take responsibility.
This felt unprofessional,...

"Just to be clear: there is no pool. And the hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. But the service is 5 stars. And they clean every day, and change the bed and towels every 2 days"

"During a recent break from a business trip in Dar Es Salaam, I decided to pop over to Zanzibar and spend two nights at the Kendwa Rocks Hotel. The resort is expansive and features an impressive variety of amenities and activities to keep you busy, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a dynamic beach vacation.It is worth noting for incoming guests that the property appears to be undergoing some massive renovations right now. Consequently, it is currently not in its peak aesthetic condition, and there are a few construction-related detours required just to get from one side of the property to the other.Despite the ongoing work and the minor navigation hurdles, the hotel serves as an excellent oasis to disconnect and lose yourself from the outside world for a few days. The disruptions are easily overshadowed by the hospitality. The staff members were each incredible—always friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure a great experience. Their exceptional service truly made a lasting impression. I thoroughly enjoyed my time winding down here, and if my travels ever bring me back to Zanzibar, I will absolutely book another stay at this hotel."
"Little sanctuary with direct beach access and sunrise facing pool. Beautiful spacious rooms with character. Staff are the best, super kind and accommodating. Thank you for checking me in late night and open reception for check out/bag drop early morning. Can highly recommend."
"Great staff , lovely room with ocean view and just steps to a great little beach. The sister hotels are a little drive away, but the dive centre is super!"
"The spa massage girls are AMAZING. I have had my share of massages in 60 countries. These women are magical. I wanted to take them back to LA with me. The rest of the staff was wonderful too. Great place- beautiful people. Zanzibar is a jewel. Good food. Great pools. Great bar service. 😊
Just do NOT - from a scuba diver/ environmentalist- go on ANY DOLPHIN TOURS! They are barbaric. Coming from California- these poor animals are hunted by 32-130 boats and many drive OVER THE PODS- then tourists are allowed to JUMP ON THEM in the water. It turned my stomach. I was here for an environmental program to protect the ocean and sea life. Please don’t participate."
"On it's own away from the outside area, this is an excellent property.
The beach can be accessed by others but that is not an issue and the beach traders are not intrusive.
Shopping, dining, leasure and activities all catered for on site but trips out can also be organised from within the complex.
But the the thing that makes this place are the staff, from the gardening team to head chef, each and every one was courteous, helpful and happy.
Well done staff you make this place."
