Très bel hôtel et agréable, mais doit revoir quelques points essentiels
Pros:

Hôtel très intimiste avec une vue exceptionnel qui vous amène directement à la plage, des chambres très spacieuses avec une grande hauteur sous plafond et une piscine très agréable.

Cons:

Cependant il y’a beaucoup de coupures de courant, qui commence surtout en début de soirée, c’est qui est gênant…
Concernant la nourriture, le restaurant n’est pas forcement bon…
Et, il y a des mauvaises odeurs dans les robinetteries

Pros:

Struttura bellissima, con una vista mozzafiato. La colazione inclusa è deliziosa ed abbondante ed anche il ristorante alla carta è buonissimo! È un'oasi di pace sull'oceano, dove si sente solo il rumore del vento, delle onde e degli uccelli che vanno a caccia con la bassa marea. Lo staff è eccezionale ed il proprietario è gentilissimo e sempre disponibile. Assolutamente consigliato, grazie a tutto lo staff per la splendida vacanza.

Wonderful stay at Zanzi Soul!
Pros:

We stayed at Zanzi Soul for four nights in mid February and what a beautiful place! The images does not make it justice. The staff is very kind and helpful. The deluxe room (stayed in the Diamond room) on the top floor of the bungalows have an unreal view, are nicely cleaned and well kept.
We love the differences in the high and low tides and loved to swim in the sea, bathing shoes is recommended because of rocks in the beginning of the beach.
We did a 3h snorkeling trip with Hassan and it was great, really recommend!
The staff helped us book taxi or Tuktuk to Paje Jambiani during the evenings.

We absolutly loved our stay at Zanzi Soul and would definitly come back if travelling to Zanzibar again.

Cons:

The beds are very hard and the pillows a bit to high. Would be good to offer two sizes of pillows and perhaps a bedmatress for those in need. Also som black out curtains would be good.
- The electricity goes off several times during the evening and night. It did not bother us at all but the AC goes on and off during the night and might wake you up. Some nights worse then others.
- The dinner/lunch in the restaurant is ok but not more than that. We are pescetarians and my partner does not eat gluten so we got tired of the menu. The quality of the food could definitly be better. The breakfast was good though.

The food in Zanzibar is in general just OK, the local casserouls and food were really good but Unfortunatly all the restaurants mostly serve western food. So this is not a Zanzi Soul problem, but a Zanzibar problem.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt in einem kleinen ruhigen Hotel.
Pros:

Sehr schöne, kleine Anlage mit nur 7 Zimmern. Sehr ruhig und erholsam. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Wir konnten für einen fairen Preis einen Late-Check-out bis 22 Uhr erhalten. Der Strand war zu unserer Jahreszeit (im Februar) nicht so toll, aber das ändert sich im Jahresverlauf.

Cons:

Etwas mehr Ablagefläche im Zimmer und ein paar Haken wären gut.

Idyllic, Paradise on Earth.
Pros:

Great location right on the ocean. Very hospitable staff. Excellent service at the bar and at dinner. I celebrated and spent my birthday here and was delighted with everything. The ocean has tides and currents and it is possible to walk for several kilometers at low tide, but it is good to swim at high tide. The owner is present every day, friendly with everyone and available to ask any questions that arise. I recommend this place because it is quiet, peaceful, there are no other hotels around and the village is further from the hotel. There are only 4 cottages on the territory, they are well equipped and the number of guests is not more than 6-10. Good massages are offered. Idyllic, paradise on earth.

Pros:

Les logements sont confortables et quasi neufs. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et varié. Ok y a un groupe électrogène ce qui a une grande importance sur l’île ! Le boss est adorable et aux petits soins de sa clientèle .

Cons:

L’emplacement en cette fin février car le responsable m’a expliqué que pendant 3 à 4 mois à cette période les courants emportent le sable. La plage a donc disparu ..
Un détail mais les jus sont beaucoup trop dilués 😉

Tres bien mais pas toujours serein
Pros:

Tres bel établissement qui sera encore plus beau quand les arbres et végétaux auront pousses car le bâtiment est recent. Pas mal d’activités proposées par l’établissement
Le propriétaire est très serviable tznt qu’on ne le contrarie pas(voir plus bas). Tres bon petit dejeuner. Par contre on ne peut choisir qu’entre the ou cafe … premiere fois que nous voyons ca et c’est un peu mesquin

Cons:

Notre air conditionné ne fonctionnait pas de manière optimale. On n’avait pas de place pour faire secher notre essuies alors que les autres chambres avaient toutes une petite échelle en bois pour mettre les serviettes et enfin les chaises sur notre terrasse etaient vraiment inconfortables alors que les autres chambres avaient plutot des fauteuils… j’en ai parle au propriétaire qui n’a strictement rien fait a ces sujets. J’ai vu des désaccords entre luo et d’autres clients… c’est oa raison pour laquelle je dis qu’il est gentil et aidant tant qu’il n’est pas contrarie…
Il a fallu attendre très longtemps avant d’etre servi au restaurant de l’hotel et on mangeait tiede la plupart du temps ( ne prenez pas le boeuf ! C’est une semelle !) on n’a droit qu’a une bouteille d’eau par jour alors que dans tous les autres logements nous pouvions ravoir de l’eau a volonté
