4 Stars Hotels in Zanzibar North, Tanzania

Everything was perfect, I didn't expect it… very clean, comfortable beds and the rooms are beautiful, not like in the photos because they have renovated… comfortable sunbeds on the beach, always clean towels, excellent food at the restaurant. I recommend it, I loved it.

We stayed here for 8 days. The property is aging and trying to maintain its charm. The staff are generally friendly and trying to elevate the guest experience. However, our stay was less than stellar missing the mark for what we have come to expect at a Hilton property. The beach vendors are extremely aggressive and not deterred by the security, several bartenders are working deals to reduce bar tabs in favor of their personal tips, and hot water in the shower was unreliable - varied morning to evening with no determined pattern or schedule. The menu at the property was also a disappointment. It was the same menu at the various places to order food, and the supply chain seemed to suffer while we were there and menu items became unavailable while the remaining food quality diminished daily over the course of our stay. We actually opted to leave the property and eat elsewhere toward the end of the week. Beyond these issues, the lack of ability for the property staff to provide change was a constant issue. Everything on the property is tip based and local ATM and banks only distribute larger bills in local currency. This limits our desire to tip, or leave us overtipping with the available bills we could acquire. The property seemed to have no ability or desire to assist us as guests, just hoping we would use larger bills. Overall, we are disappointed with Hilton and would not recommend to stay at this property.

We spent 3 unforgettable weeks in this cozy hotel! And we never had any doubts about the correctness of our choice, because here we received everything we needed for a vacation! Breakfast is very hearty, varied, there is always fresh fruit and juice. The staff is attentive to the guests. The rooms are cleaned daily, the girls work hard, so the room is very clean! The rooms themselves are large, spacious, bright, very comfortable beds, we got a good night's sleep. The room has a kettle, refrigerator, safe, boiler. A very large balcony on which you can put a sun lounger and sleep there at night) The soundproofing of the rooms is excellent, we have never heard the neighbors. The hotel area is small, but well-groomed, passion fruit grows (it grows like grapes). The pool is deep, you can safely dive, it is cleaned every day. Wi-Fi works stably throughout the entire territory. The hotel owners monitor the order and well-being of the guests every day, they are very attentive and caring. Thanks to such a sincere atmosphere, it was sad to leave! Thank you to all the hotel staff for your care, attention and help!

We stayed in this hotel for one week and sincerely it was my best experience. I made a huge hotel in several countries and it restored my favorite. It is a hotel of a human size whose staff and owner really take care of their clients, and that is whatever the time of day or night. The hotel is very comfortable and the hotel is very comfortable. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. I thank Mr ALI in particular for having welcomed and taken care of making our stay pleasant, as well as his team MWINYI AND MWANTAMA, EMMACULETA, RAJAB (and its super pancakes), HASSAN, ABDULRAHMAN, and all the others I've not mentioned. I recommend it !

Half a meal is convenient

We stayed at the Kena Beach hotel between December 19 and 29, 2023. The hotel and the garden are very beautiful, clean and well maintained. The rooms are large and offer all the conditions. The staff is very friendly and well trained. We also celebrated Christmas at this hotel. Everything was wonderful and well organized by the hotel manager. Everyone was wonderful but Elizabeth, George, Grace, Ramadhani and Khalfan made our holiday perfect. The food was very good and very carefully prepared by the chef. We had many fruits and delicious sweets prepared by Chef. The service was impeccable. Also the recreational activities were great thanks to Kani and Momo from Oclub, who were sensational. The hotel's private beach is wonderful, supervised and well maintained by the hotel staff. Mr. Kombo, who lives right in Matemwe village, organized some memorable trips for us. We want to return to Zanzibar and obviously, we will spend our vacation at this hotel again. We recommend the hotel to everyone who wants a perfect and peaceful vacation.

Not bad, breakfast is not good

My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further. The location and the beach are superb. The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains. The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement.

Initially, locating Maisha Nungwi posed a small challenge, as it's sometimes confused with its previous name. However, the check-in process was remarkably smooth, and we were pleasantly surprised to access our rooms earlier than anticipated. One hiccup during check-in was the government tax requirement, which at $4 per person per night, can add up for families staying a week. Nevertheless, the staff graciously assisted with our luggage and ushered us to our room, adorned with delightful floral decorations. Daily room service ensured cleanliness, though the limited hot water supply might inconvenience some guests, albeit it didn't bother me much. The culinary experience, unfortunately, was underwhelming. Despite fresh fruit and juice at breakfast, the lack of seasoning and the malfunctioning salt and pepper shakers were disappointing. The repetitive menu may prompt guests to explore dining options beyond the hotel. On the bright side, Maisha Nungwi boasts aesthetically pleasing surroundings and excellent amenities, including two pools and a commendable massage service. The friendly and accommodating staff further enhanced our stay. However, the hotel's feline inhabitants, while adorable, can be intrusive, often interrupting meals by jumping on tables or chairs. In conclusion, Maisha Nungwi is more suited to adults seeking exploration beyond the hotel's dining options. For those willing to venture out and discover local eateries, this hotel offers a pleasant stay with comfortable accommodations and attentive staff.

The hotel is situated on a very nice white sand beach protected by a reef. There are urchins in the water, so wear beach shoes. The rooms are well-appointed and the breakfast buffet good, with a large selection of local fruits, eggs made to order, bakery goods and small choice of hot foods. It’s very peaceful and their cocktails are nice to drink on the beachfront deck. We are all our meals at the hotel and the menu is just large enough to offer varied choices for a stay of a few days. There might be a kitchen hygiene issue though, as my friend had to vomit one afternoon and I was struck by diarrhea on my last day there.

If you are choosing a place to enjoy your holidays, getting away from crowd and enjoy peaceful moments, it’s definitely a right place for you. Hotel staff is very nice and helpful. Food in hotel restaurant is excellent, they offer different menu for lunch and dinner. Verify options for breakfast buffet, you will never feel bored for their food. Hotel offers yoga class on the morning daily except Sunday. Family or solo can also start with a “ Good morning “. There is a swimming pool, small gym room, different ball games for visitors to chill. Hotel is also connected with different Partners, no need to worry about the day trip prior arrival. They can plan everything for you including stone town visit, prison island , snorkelling. We just enjoy our time during our stay.
