Hotels in Tanzania

From the minute we stepped in, until check out, Pia, Hashim and their staff were exceptional. We had a welcome gift upon arrival and departure. They help you organise trips, book taxi…anything you ask for. The property is beach front where you can have the beach all to yourself…very safe for early morning walks.

First and foremost, I love the mission of the Lodge. The fact that they work towards improvement for the Maasai women in the area is amazing. Second, the people working at the Lodge are terrific. Susan, in particular, makes you feel at home with good conversations and nice home-cooked meals. Third, the facilities are perfect. Everything you need is ready at hand and you get the perfect combination of authentic experience and comfort. I stayed in the tents, which are great if you’re travelling on a budget. They are affordable and comfortable with nice mattresses, duvets and mosquito nets. You also have toilet and bathing facilities in connection with the tents. The traditional Maasai huts were unfortunately fully booked but Susan was kind enough to show me one before I left. These look absolutely amazing with cozy beds and private washroom. I’ll definitely have to try them out next time! One of the highlights of the stay was the motorcycle safari. We drove out in the bush in the afternoon and experienced the most amazing sights of giraffes, elephants and zebras. We were even lucky enough to have a giraffe visit us inside the Lodge area!

Good value for money, cozy, nice atmosphere

absolutely fantastic good atmosphere, very clean, attentive staff and fabulous decoration of the hotel grounds

The staff is friendly and welcoming and Malgo & Tomek are the best! Genuinely interested in their visitors and will go out of their way to ensure your comfort. The facility is very clean and well kept. I also really liked that the beach in Matemwe is relatively clean and no one hustling for buys.

Exceptional, in every way. Room, service and food all brilliant. The hosts are lovely and this is a beautiful place to just chill out.

Calm and beautiful stay in a paradise spot of the island

The entire property is really well laid out, with trees around the pool that give it a really warm and intimate feeling but also provide much-needed shade if you burn easily like I do. The food area and swing seats are inviting and relaxing, so it's a real oasis. The rooms are light and comfortable with good air conditioning. They are also remarkably sound proof, with some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in in Tanzania. The owners and staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, and I love the resident kittens they have taken in. The food was good and breakfast was filling and tasty. It's well located in that the beach and shops are in very easy walking distance, but it isn't impacted by the hustle and bustle or the noise that is common in other venues. A really delightful find, we will certainly be back!

I stayed at Blue Moon Villa with my three children. We loved the place and it is very child friendly. The staff is so nice and helpful, the breakfast very nice and the location is just a short walk from the beach. We enjoyed Blue Moon Villa and the nearby beach so much that we changed our travel plans to come back to Blue Moon Villa.

*A Peaceful Paradise with Purpose* Palmera Zanzibar is a serene oasis just outside a charming village. I loved the peaceful garden, the spotless infinity pool, and the magical ocean views—especially at sunset. The food was creative, delicious, and all homemade (including fresh breads and cakes!). My room was beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed, sea view, and solar-powered AC—much appreciated in the heat! What makes Palmera truly special is its mission: it’s part of the More Than A Drop Hospitality College, training underprivileged girls for careers in hospitality. The staff and students were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel safe and welcome. Highly recommended—for both the experience and the amazing cause behind it.

The hotel is really lovely right on the beach with palm trees and sand. Walking around the hotel you walk on sand up to your room. It is a great feeling. The view is gorgeous ! The staff are all smiles and willing to help. We arrived really late at the hotel past dinner time but the restaurant manager ensured that we could have dinner. Jola the hotel manager is really lovely and helpful ! All in all it was an Amazing experience - pity we did not stay longer !
