Hotels in Tanzania

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!

We had a fantastic stay at the African Paradise Hotel. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The hosts were so kind and obliging..even going out of their way to be helpful and buying us special dietary foods. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff friendly. The breafasts were incredible and we were barely able to finish them they gave us so much food! im still dreaming about waking up to fresh mango juice every day! İts the details that make the hotel so nice and it feels like home. They lent us beach towels, snorkling gear and beach shoes….they were so kind it felt like staying with family. İf we ever return to Zanzibar i wouldnt stay anywhere else.

There is so much to say about this lovely hotel! The staff members are incredibly kind and always available to assist whenever you need them. They decorated our room for my fiancé’s birthday surprise and even offered us a small bento cake. It was so cute! Regarding the location, the hotel is only about 35 minutes from the airport and close to Paje, but it’s a bit far from the northern part of the island. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and offer a beautiful view of the pool and the beach — especially the Mafia 1 room. The food was delicious, and the scent inside the rooms was simply divine. I was in love with it! Even our clothes came back from the laundry smelling amazing. The spa is cute, and the massage was relaxing — I truly recommend it. The ladies there really know what they’re doing!

Everything was perfect! The location is very close to the beach- the nicest beach in Nungwi. Max and Elena are very nice, they helped us with tours organisation and anything we needed. The staff is very helpful and nice. Breakfast is good and tasty, also the food here is very good and affordable. We loved our stay here at Babalao Bungalows. I highly recommend staying here.

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

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

We had an incredible stay at infinity beach. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by the owners Tomas and Maggie, who went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at home. Their kindness and attentiveness made our stay unforgettable! The hotel itself is a work of art. Every detail was carefully designed to reflect a unique modern yet antique aesthetic. The rooms were spacious, elegantly designed, and offered incredible views of the beach and the semi Olympic sized pool, allowing us to wake up to the sound of the waves every morning. The food was another highlight of our stay. Every meal was delicious and the friendly, attentive wait staff made dining a lovely experience each time. Infinity Beach is a place that captures your heart. We left feeling like we got everything we needed from this stay and with a strong desire to return. If you're looking for a luxurious, intimate getaway in Zanzibar, this is the perfect place to unwind.

This hotel combines a super friendly, chilled atmosphere with very good service. There are only 5 rooms so it feels like everyone knows each other and that the service is personalized. The rooms have great views and are literally 5-10 seconds from the beach. In the late afternoons the locals play football on the beach in a jovial mood so you get some of the local character while chilling in your own space. The locals also seemed to really respect the boundaries of this hotel and there was very little hassle on the beach. This is one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. Highly recommended!

It's a really cozy hotel. The owner and the staff are excellent. The food was great. Angelina was there for us to answer any question and assist us. A special thanks to Jafari the bartender and Simon the chef who showed us the night life in Nungwi. We had a really good time at your bungalows. I hope we visit you again.

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.

What makes Palmera so special is its inspiring mission. The hotel and restaurant operate as a hospitality school for local young women, and the exceptional service they provide is a direct reflection of their training. From their warm smiles to their impeccable attention to detail, you can feel the genuine pride they take in their work. The hotel's setting is pure paradise. The infinity pool overlooking the turquoise sea is mesmerizing, and the lush, immaculately kept gardens create a perfect oasis for relaxation. It was wonderful to be able to walk barefoot through the fine sand and simply enjoy the tranquility. For anyone, but especially for vegans, the restaurant is a must-visit. The creative and delicious vegan dishes, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented students, were a true highlight. It's a testament to the high-quality training they are receiving. The breakfast, in particular, was the best I had during my three-week stay in Tanzania, the homemade warm bread and homemade chocolate spread were unforgettable. For lunch and dinner, with main courses priced between $11 and $13, it offers exceptional value. This 15-room hotel is a quiet retreat. I stayed when it was almost empty and had no issues with noise, but even when full, the large garden and pool area should provide plenty of space for guests. The price range for double rooms in the 2025 high season was 70-100 USD. All rooms face the sea, though the view can be a bit limited from some of the downstairs rooms. While the large windows are beautiful, the curtains don’t fully cover them, which could be a privacy concern for some. I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed was perfect for me, but it might be a bit too hard for others. The solar-powered hot water worked flawlessly. The road to the hotel is a little bumpy on the last kilometer, but there are plans to improve it. In the bathrooms, I would have appreciated a bit more space to dry towels, or a drying rack on the terrace.

We had an amazing time at The Soul Zanzibar Beach Hotel & Spa, it’s a true sanctuary for those seeking both serenity and luxury. From the moment you arrive, the impeccable hospitality sets the tone, making you feel instantly relaxed in this beautiful part of Zanzibar. The private beach is perfect for peaceful sunrise strolls and quiet moments listening to the waves. The facilities are first-class, blending modern comfort with authentic island charm, whether you’re unwinding by the pool, pampering yourself at the spa, or enjoying yoga with an ocean view. What sets this destination apart is not just the natural beauty, but also the atmosphere of complete relaxation and exclusivity, you never feel rushed, crowded, or anything less than pampered. It's an ideal escape whether you’re celebrating, recharging, or simply looking for unforgettable moments by the sea. The experience was truly elevated by the wonderful staff, who were even more impressive and always greeting guests with warm smiles and attentive service from the moment you arrive. Their genuine care and personal touches made me feel instantly at home, transforming an already idyllic stay into something truly special. A special mention goes to the Manager, who went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt at home. She made it a point to personally check in on us, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. This caring touch made us feel even more relaxed and well looked after. Thank you so much, for your exceptional hospitality and dedication, you all truly made our experience unforgettable. You made our visit feel uniquely special and is a big reason why I’m eager to return and recommend this paradise to friends and I’m certain friends will fall in love Five stars hardly do it justice. I’d recommend The Soul Zanzibar Beach Hotel & Spa to anyone wanting a luxury getaway with a personal touch. It’s a must-visit that I can’t wait to return to, and with this hidden gem just as much.
