Hotels in Tanzania

If only we could rate more than 10. It was much better than the other 10s we rated (when we rated 10). It was, by far, the best place we stayed in all of our 2-month honeymoon in all of Africa. As we came, the hosts welcomed us so warmly that we felt they expected only us all the years they were here. We got welcome drinks and snacks - a fine wine and very good Samosas, served on the beautiful balcony in front of the ocean. All our bags (5, heavy) were carried without saying anything, with a big smile and good vibes. In our spacious room, we noticed a nice map of Zanzibar, marked with places of interest around (which we used, almost all of them), a welcome note, and welcome gifts! Cute bracelets that we still wear. Since we came in a hot season, the room was also equipped with an extra-strong fan, which was just what we needed as I'm sensitive to the hit. The beach was ridiculously close since it was the high tide, so we spent a few hours in the water. The dinner and lunch (extra, but fair prices, excellent quality, taste, and variety) were amazing. So tasty, and the options were all great and varied. We also had a bottle of SA wine, a fair price, and we liked it. Breakfast was yummy. Just everything you need - eggs, coffee, juice, toast, pancakes/chapati with guacamole and a fruit plate. I don't know how they do it, but the staff is so friendly and helpful. Important: I have Celiac, so I need gluten-free food. In all of Africa it was usually an issue, but not here. They made sure that I always had a variety of delicious options, even really creative ones like coconut rice bread for breakfast or hamburger. In the afternoon they invited us to a boat cruise (free!), to swim & snorkel in three different spots. During the cruise, they serve wine, water, and sodas, also free. They also have snorkeling gear, which we used all day long, and canoes, which we didn't have the time to use😞 It's these details that made our stay so calm and fun.

Staff, facilities and the property itself is amazing. We stayed there on our way from Dar to Mwanza. We stayed with two of our small dogs. Food was good too. They even packed our breakfast early in the morning as per request. Would love to visit again.

The nice clean and quiet place. The availability of the staff. The nice breakfast

We had an incredible experience at Infinity Boutique & Spa Resort in Matemwe. The entire stay was filled with a peaceful, relaxing vibe that made it hard to leave. The staff and even the owners were truly living, caring, and genuinely supportive. They went above and beyond to help us arrange activities, always using high quality, reliable drivers, which made exploring Zanzibar stress-free. The food was another highlight: hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every meal was a treat, and the attention to detail was impressive. From the setting to the service, this place is a true gem. If you’re looking for comfort, tranquility, and top-notch hospitality, this is it. Absolutely a 10/10. Highly recommend!

The property is great, but the team onsite and their service made my stay feel like one of the most premium experiences. They go above and beyond expectations. Thank you for warm hospitality and such great service team - Jackelin, Tariq, Diswa, Mohammed, the Maasai’s and the rest of the team.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at African Bungalows in Nungwi, Zanzibar. This cozy gem exceeded all my expectations. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going above and beyond to make sure guests feel at home. The food is absolutely delicious, every meal was a treat! The hotel is nestled in a beautiful garden that creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere with a lovely pool. And the hotel is just a one minute walk to the stunning beach. The rooms are clean, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay and the bed was very comfortable, I had the best sleep in a long time. Another standout feature is the generator so you never have to worry about power interruptions. If you’re looking for a perfect spot for relaxation with excellent food and service in Zanzibar, I highly recommend African Bungalows. I’ll definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Pangani Cliffs! The staff and managers went above and beyond to make us feel truly welcome and cared for. The food was outstanding, every day brought a new dish prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also arranged a fantastic boat trip to Maziwe Island, where we had a great time. We loved exploring the reef at low tide, unwinding by the pool, and enjoying delicious cocktails with a breathtaking ocean view. I would highly recommend spending at least 2-3 days here, as there are plenty of activities to enjoy and discover. 😍

Location, cleanness, family friendly, and great staff

A new hotel offering good service and a clean environment. The meals are tasty, with vegetarian options available. The location is quiet and peaceful. The hotel is part of a school program that trains young women in hotel and hospitality services.
