Just perfect
Pros:

This is without a doubt the best hotel we have ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived, we felt so warmly welcomed – the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything. The atmosphere is cozy and homely, making it easy to relax and truly enjoy the stay. Everything is spotless and well maintained, which made us feel very comfortable. The room smelt really nice. And the food… absolutely outstanding! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and simply unforgettable. We could not have asked for a better experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect place to stay. We also joined a yoga class in the morning, which was really great.

Un séjour exceptionnel à l'hôtel Boutique Passion
Pros:

Notre séjour à Zanzibar restera gravé dans nos mémoires grâce à l'accueil chaleureux de Madalina, la manager de l'établissement. Son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse remarquables ont transformé nos vacances en un véritable moment de détente. L'ensemble du personnel partage cette même qualité de service, toujours souriant et attentionné.

La cuisine est tout simplement excellente : variée, raffinée et savoureuse. Le petit déjeuner, copieux et diversifié, constitue un véritable délice matinal qui lance parfaitement chaque journée.

L'hôtel bénéficie d'une situation privilégiée à Jambiani, directement en bord de plage avec une vue à couper le souffle. L'environnement paisible et l'hygiène irréprochable des lieux ajoutent au charme de l'établissement.

Madalina s'est révélée indispensable dans l'organisation de nos excursions, notamment en nous recommandant un guide francophone exceptionnel pour la visite de Stone Town, à l'écoute et passionnant.

Sans le dévouement et le professionnalisme de Madalina, ce séjour n'aurait jamais atteint une telle excellence. Recommandation sans réserve !

Perfection in Paradise
Pros:

Passion Boutique is absolute perfection in Paradise that sets the standard for what a boutique hotel should be.

Once you enter from the street, you step into an oasis of tranquility.

The overall design, layout and architecture has been thought out in minute detail. The interior design is beautiful, in natural earth tones, complemented with beautiful woods, ceramics and fabrics. Even the detail of the light switches has been carefully planned. The interior design alone is worthy of being shown in a Homes Magazine.

Outside is equally well designed. A garden of coconut trees and Bali beds on perfectly groomed white sand, overlooking the beach.

The alfresco restaurant, serves gorgeous food and the team are absolutely focused ensuring everything is right. The service and care is brilliant and sincere.

The location is in the perfect place, overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean. The area has everything you need but without the noice or crowds of more popular areas.

However, what really makes Passion so special is the team. Madalina the Hotel Manager is in a different league. From the moment you arrive, all she wants to ensure is you have a fabulous stay, and she goes out of her way to make this happen. Her meticulous attention to detail and super friendly approach is passed on through her team who all just want to do what it takes to make your time there special.

We're definitely going back.

Pros:

What a gem! We absolutely loved our stay at the Passion Boutique Hotel. Madalina (hotel manager) and all the staff are so welcoming and hospitable. I cut my foot out in the ocean on some coral and Madaline immediately took action and got me antibacterial creams. We also got pretty badly sunburnt and she provided us with a freshly cut, cold aloe. We cant express how wonderful the entire team is at Passion Boutique Hotel. The food was fantastic, breakfast was amazing every morning. We highly recommend booking here!

Pros:

Das Hotel ist wirklich traumhaft schön! Die gesamte Anlage ist wunderbar gestaltet, mit einem toll gelegenen Pool und einem atemberaubenden Blick auf das Meer. Die Zimmer sind wunderschön eingerichtet, sehr hochwertig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Personal – unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und aufmerksam. Man fühlt sich rundum umsorgt und willkommen.

Ein absolutes Highlight ist das Frühstück. Man kann à la carte bestellen, so viel und so vielseitig, wie man möchte, und die Qualität der Speisen ist herausragend. Alles ist frisch, lecker und mit viel Sorgfalt zubereitet.

Ein wirklich besonderer Ort, an dem man sich einfach wohlfühlt!

Pros:

Heel mooi ingericht boutiquehotel! Hier in Jambiani verblijf je tussen de lokale bevolking! Kinderen spelen op het strand, knopen
Gesprekken aan etc. Je kan echt proeven van het leven op Zanzibar
Het hotel personeel is geweldig en je voelt je je ganse verblijf op handen gedragen. Ook het eten van het ontbijt tot en met diner is van topkwaliteit!
Je kan via het strand naar Paje wandelen (1u)
We komen zeker terug

Pros:

If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Zanzibar that is chic, elegant, accommodating, exquisite, has the most exquisite food, incredible people, and service which rivals most 5 star resorts I’ve stayed at…… this is the place for you.

If you are looking to stay anywhere in Zanzibar- you absolutely will not find anywhere better, with greater value for money, or quality.

A huge thank you to Madalina and Lisa along with the team are an absolute credit to Passion. Thank you for an amazing stay, and an unforgettable New Year’s Eve!

Pros:

We had a phenomenal stay with Passion Boutique Hotel!!

We stayed with them after a trip hiking up Kilimanjaro and it fitted the bill for a total chill out and recharge.

The staff, food, facilities and scenery was above and beyond what we had expected.

Big shout out for Madelina who really looked after us on our stay, ensuring us we had everything we need and everything ran smoothly. She again went above and beyond and our experience was fantastic.

The staff in the restaurant were all fantastic, Anthony, Hassan & Anana really looked after us as well, we didn’t want to leave! We never saw the chef but the cooking was outstanding and we are missing it now when back at home.

I’d highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Zanzibar.

Pros:

Hinestly, this is by far the best place to stay in Jambiani. Assuming you prefer a quieter place than Paje, then this is the place to be. The personal service you get from the hotel manager is next to none! It is very secluded and the food is superb.

Pros:


This has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in..ever! And I am not a novice traveller, I’ve stayed in lots of luxury hotel chains but the aesthetics, customer service and vibe at this beautiful boutique tops them all.

I had a feeling I would enjoy my stay at booking when the manager Madalina messaged me. There was something about her messages that made me feel special and that the hotel wanted to do everything to assure my stay was comfortable.

When I arrived I was upgraded to one of their best rooms, overlooking the sea, it the was most beautiful stay. Madalina and the staff made me feel at home. If you wanted to do something the hotel would book for you, ensured you got back safe and you didn’t have to pay a single penny until check out.

The food was also amazing, I would say on the slightly pricier side but one of the best things about the breakfast in particular was that there was no end time. SO you could eat when you wanted! I don’t think I experienced a hotel that does this. It just made the whole experience amazing.

At the end of my stay the hotel provided a thoughtful gift. It’s a place that I will recommend to my friends and if I were to ever return to Zanzibar it’s the first place on my list to stay again.

Other hotels really need to take a leaf out of this places book!

Thank you Madalina and team for an amazing stay!

Absolutely incredible
Pros:

This was absolutely the most amazing hotel to stay in in Zanzibar. From the moment I booked, Madaline the hotel manager was in constant communication with me to make sure everything was set for my stay. The property itself is a boutique hotel with only 8-9 rooms (with beautiful balconies right on the ocean) and every guest is truly treated like royalty. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and so clean. I was greeted after my late flight at the hotel by Madaline with an amazing dinner and a welcome drink brought to my room. Breakfast is served at any time during the day (including when I woke up the first day at 2p), and the waiter Sylvestre is the absolute best. The drinks and the food are incredible and include fresh seafood every night for lunch and dinner.
Madaline helped plan every detail of the rest of my weekend, including an in-room massage the day of, dinner at an amazing restaurant, a spa treatment down the street, and a catamaran snorkeling tour last minute. She was so attentive to every last detail, and her and Abu were there to welcome me at the front desk every time I came home, and walked me personally to the car to say goodbye with my bags at the end of my stay. This place truly felt like home and I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for everything!!
