The rooms are stunning- spacious and beautiful design. The bed was very comfortable too. The bathtub in the room was a very nice touch. The staff were amazing, always polite and friendly. The restaurant could also accommodate my gluten-free diet for breakfast. This was one of our best hotel experiences ever.

Beautiful place of the highest quality with attention to every detail. It feels like a jungle, full of tropical plants and harmless animals. Fantastic pool and an amazing jetty into the ocean, overlooking the transparent water, low and high tides, and colorful sunsets. Our room was huge and super clean, with everything we could ask for, including a well equipped bathroom. The room was cleaned all the time, towels were replaced and everything we asked for was answered positively. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and they were very flexible and generous with our check-in and check-out times. The chef made a vegetarian menu specifically for us with delicious food full of thought and good touch. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much, Royal Apartments, for your incredible hospitality and for taking such great care of us! I want to especially thank the owner, Mr. Thabit, for his kindness and warm personality in welcoming us and ensuring all our needs were met. The luxurious rooms were amazing, and the sauna was a highlight for my family—it truly made our stay unforgettable. A big thank you to Chef Ochu for the delicious meals and the entire team at the restaurant. The wooden finishing in the restaurant added such a warm and unique atmosphere, making every meal even more special. The experience with the horses was another memorable part of our trip—riding on the beach was just awesome. Besides the place being spotless, the horses were well-maintained, and the trainers were charming and polite as well. Thank you, Royal Apartments team, for such a memorable stay! We hope to visit you again on our future holidays.

What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

The convenience of having golf facilities just steps away from my accommodation, combined with the service and amenities of the hotel, made for a truly good stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to any golfer looking for a golfing experience paired with the comforts of a luxury retreat in Zanzibar. After all the hotel has the only Golf Course in Zanzibar.

While we’re not talking high end accommodations here, what I am saying is that I received great value for the price. Mohammed and staff went above and beyond in anticipating and meeting our needs. If you’re going to Zanzibar for an all-inclusive beach stay, this is the wrong venue. If you want a perfect location to experience the life and culture of Stone Town, then this is the absolutely best place for you. A truly unique adventure.

Amazing, friendly and nice hosts that were available for any requests or help at any time. We felt very respected and welcome at Zava House. On our arrival to Zanzibar a transfer from the airport to the accommodation was handled which went smooth. We liked entering and leaving the property and having small interactions and chats with the hosts as they were super friendly and nice to talk to. I would recommend Zava House to anyone looking for a nice affordable place to stay in Stone Town, close to the beaches, shops and market.

Those staff were the most friendly I’ve ever met. Been to different countries and different accommodations but the ones from Golden palm take the crown. While planning the trip I kept thinking this would be the most difficult trip because of my infant. Those guys came through for me and it was the most smooth stay I’ve ever had.
