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!

Great hosts that take care of you during the whole stay. Amazing breakfast and option to eat lunch/dinner in the hotel restaurant as well. It is a small paradise far from the rush of the city. Highly recommended.

Very nice, clean and cozy place with excellent location. Owner Max was very friendly and super helpful with our requests. Also, comparing with other places we stayed at - breakfast was excellent! Would go back anytime :)

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

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the beautiful Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq in Zanzibar, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. The hotel is just one year old, and you can tell – everything is modern, stylish, and designed with great attention to detail. The spacious pool (25x15 m), surrounded by numerous palm trees, is a highlight of the property. It was a delight to cool off here during the day or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility. The culinary offerings were equally impressive. The selection of food and drinks was excellent, and the quality left nothing to be desired. We also appreciated that the staff spoke very good English, which made communication smooth and ensured we felt well taken care of at all times. A special thanks to the hotel owners, Tomek and Malgo. Their presence and attentiveness were exceptional – they regularly checked in to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. You can tell they genuinely care about the well-being of their guests. The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. It is situated directly on the northeastern Matemwe Beach, a beautiful and relatively quiet stretch of coastline, ideal for long walks or simply enjoying the sea breeze. In summary, our stay at Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq was great. We felt completely at ease and would recommend this little paradise to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

The welcome that Jennifer & I got from Rama (Manager) when we arrived was most impressive & it set the tone for our 5 day 4 night stay. All the staff were good mannered, friendly & professional. They went out of their way to make sure we were always comfortable and kept informed of the menus & activities. Ricardo & Vip (owners) were on hand each day to connect & checkin with us to see if we were enjoying the experience at their wonderful lodge. It certainly is an escape hideaway treasure, right on the beautiful Swahili coast in Pangani. A peaceful paradise, a place to relax with amazing sunrise views & waking each morning to the soothing sound of the birds dawn chorus. The bandas are beautifully prepared & furnished to the highest standards. Pangani Cliff Lodge is off-grid but has its own onsite state of the art Solar powered system with provides 24hour coverage which was most welcome to power lights, wifi & particularly the fans all through the hot balmy nights. We enjoyed exploring the amazing coral rock pools at low tide on their private beach & frolicking in the swimming pool every late afternoon before sundown. The meals were beautifully presented, varied & scrumptious. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing massages outdoor on the cliff top listing to the sounds of the ocean.

Breakfast was good - good selection of fruit, lovely omelette

Amazing place to relax, great hospitality, and a very comfortable large bed. Clean rooms, beautiful surroundings with local plants. Very nice pool and relaxing area. The restaurant serves really good food, not to mention breakfast, you get with the price of the room. Host Ahmet and Ersoy are very professional and friendly. They would go the extra mile to make your stay perfect. The best place to stay in Nungwi,with 2 minutes walk to the beach.

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.
