The staff in this place is amazing! Especially Mohammed made me feel like home with his friendliness. Also Remo did a lot for me during my stay. Shoutout also to the cleaning ladies who even did my laundry and always greeted with a big smile! The hotel it self is charming, clean and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

The location isn’t necessarily the best one as it’s not by the beach. And actually the Kiwengwa beach wasn’t even that nice beach out of the ones that I visited during my trip. However, you can take a taxi or boda boda to other places and explore the island from here. And it was always nice to come back to this little hidden garden after the adventures around the island.

The hotel is great, the rooms are nice and clean, the garden is beautiful. Remo and Bertram deserve special mention. They do everything to make their guests feel comfortable. I have been to many hotels and the staff were often very helpful and friendly, but these two and everyone else like the cook, cleaning lady, etc. just do everything. The service is world class! My partner had an accident, Bertram brought him some soup without asking, and before that, our whole breakfast was brought to the room on the top floor without asking. Remo contacted the doctor and helped us with a Masai stick because my partner had difficulty walking. We then wanted to spend a few more nights in the sister hotel "Sofia Sea View" and we got a good deal for this and Remo took us there too. This hotel is also really nice and a bit more luxurious with larger rooms and direct beach access. Bertram also accompanied us to ATMs or Remo drove us there by car. I can really recommend both hotels to everyone. I have never experienced better service, but one that is so unobtrusive, sensitive and just incredibly friendly and kind. We will definitely be back and miss it there. You really feel like "at home".

Raymond, the manager, and all his staff were exceptional. They were all so friendly and helpful. The house keeping staff were such a joy. Cannot praise them all enough.

The breakfast, unfortunately over the 11 days got less and less.. we were getting 3 fruits at first, then down to two very small pieces, the choice with two eggs went down to one egg, and no coffee was offered at all over the 11 days. However we would go back due to the staff

we traveled to nungwi, Kiwengwa and Bweju. but only in this hotel it was true service ! the staff was amazing as on no other hotel. we felt extremely welcoming and as if we would be the most important guest. in comparison to all the other hotels - it was the best. Eventhough the pool was cloudy the first day - they stand out with Theire service to find a solution for us. it was a perfect stay thanks to the staff (including the lovely cleaning lady)

Location was a Bit off Road - Pool was not clean wifi was a Bit bad in the rooms

The staff are all amazing. The chef smashes out the best pancakes ever! Also being vegetarian, made us a different 3 course meal each night. Betram couldn't do enough for you and serves the best ginger tea. Raymond, thanks also for looking after us with trips and kindly took us to our next hotel. A great place to stay, just a 5 minute walk to the beach, there is a great pool to use if you aren't a beach person. Thanks again all

The bush babies at night!

The best choice I could have made... Clean and spacious rooms with a stunning seaview from the big terrace (I had de Deluxe room), surrounded by plenty of plants and trees. The beds are very comfy and the curtains refrain the sun from waking you up in the early morning, what is not really common in Zanzibar. The staff is simply awesome and caring for all your needs, so that you can just relax and enjoy your stay. I liked it so much that I will come back in a few days, so I don't need to say that I highly recommend this beautiful place... A special thanks to Daniele, the hotel manager, and Mohamed, the restaurant manager who cooked for my special needs and always had a few kind words to share with me... See you soon 😊

That I had to leave...

So glad we were honored to be the first guests of this brand new boutique hotel. Everything was perfect from the moment we stepped inside the premises until we left. The team is really attentive and friendly, they speak good english, the pool is magnificent, the beach is just a few hundred meters away (trust me, you don´t want to sit in the beach in Zanzibar anyway, you will be annoyed to death). They have a decent on-site restaurant and as appropriate to a boutique hotel, they will arrange you anything you ask for - vegetarian breakfast, blankets, etc.

Everything was perfect

very nice staff in the hotel and an exceptional host which helps you with every question or problem! fresh friuts of their own garden. the chef cook is open for wishes like special zanzibar dinner. a very nice, clean and quiet place to chill after a kite surfing or tour day without screaming kids.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Raimon in particular was always very keen to help us with any concerns. He was always available for us! Frank, the night watchman, was also always very obliging and he also has a small shop selling bracelets and necklaces! The room was great and the complex itself was always very clean and inviting. All in all, it was a great stay - we were more than satisfied. Madeline & Mathias

The hotel is very new and therefore spotless and we had a very comfortable stay. The staff were the highlight, particularly Bittram behind the bar and Remo the general manager. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. The property is a five minute walk from the beach, which is a dark walk at night if you’re eating at one of the beach restaurants, but we never had any trouble with this. The advantages of being located in a very peaceful spot in a small boutique hotel far outweighed this slight inconvenience for us. The sister hotel on the beach which they took us to without charge is well worth a visit. A perfect stay.
