Klare Empfehlung!
Pros:

Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Uns wurde jeder Wunsch erfüllt. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Preise sind fair. Das gesamte Hotel war jederzeit sehr sauber. Die Zimmer werden zweimal täglich gereinigt. Wir würden jedem empfehlen, dieses Hotel zu buchen. Der Sonnenuntergang ist traumhaft!

Cons:

Wenn man hauptsächlich im Meer baden möchte, ist die Lage nicht optimal. Es gibt sehr viele Algen und das Wasser verschwindet durch die Gezeiten zweimal / Tag. Uns hat das aber nicht gestört.

Pros:

Great Stay at Dhow Beach Hotel

I had an amazing stay at Dhow Beach Hotel. From check-in, Rosina at the reception was incredibly warm, helpful, and went above and beyond, even assisting me with my phone connectivity and following up later.

I was welcomed with a drink of my choice, and the owners personally came to greet me, which was a lovely touch. The WhatsApp message with all the necessary information was very thoughtful and made everything seamless.

I got a room upgrade, which was very clean including all the other common areas. All staff, especially at the restaurant, were friendly and attentive.

This was a short, spontaneous trip during low season, but I still had a fantastic time. The only minor note is that I prefer a firmer, orthopedic mattress but that’s just a personal preference.

I would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Cons:

The mattress as a personal preference

Gözünüz kapalı buraya gelin ve tatiliniz muhteşem geçsin.
Pros:

Öncelikle tesise adım atmamla kendimi evimde ve güvende hissettiren, her daim her konuda yardıma ihtiyaç duyduğunuzda yardım eden, hatta daha siz söylemeden bile önceden sizi düşünen önerilerde ve yardım tekliflerinde bulunan başta Ahmet Bey ve Ersoy Bey başta olmak üzere tüm ekibine tatilimi her türlü konuda destekleri ve bilgilendirmeleriyle unutulmaz kılan Dhow Beach otel ekibine çok teşekkür ederim. Otelin konumu, odaların hijyeni ve konforu, yemeklerin Zanzibar standartlarının üstünde olması ayrıca cezbedici özellikler arasında yer alıyor. Herşeyden önce bir kadın solo traveller olarak seyahat ettiğim yabancı ülkede kendimi asla yalnız hissettirmedikleri için ayrıca teşekkürler. Otele girdiğiniz andan itibaren türk misafirperverliğinin farkını öyle güzel hissettiriyorlar ki şüphesiz gözünüz kapalı muhteşem bir tatil için Dhow Beach oteli seçebilirsiniz. İsterseniz tur planları ve seçenekleri için de ayrıca yardımcı oluyorlar. Uçuş saatinizden ötürü erken check-in için hiç endişelenmeyin Ahmet Bey bizzat yardımcı oluyor bu konuda size ve evinin kapılarını size açıyor.

很好👍。
Pros:

风景超级好,沙滩,海景,阳台,蓝色的海就在我身边。老板很热情,饭也好吃。没啥缺点,就是我的假期太少了,不然我肯定多待几天。其实那段时间心情不好、所以来桑岛玩一下,看看海,散散心。很不错。有时候生活就是需要美景,看到美丽的大海,沙滩,一切都不是事了。

Pros:

Otelin konumu harikaydı, ilk defa böyle bir misafirperverlik gördüm otelin müdüründen çalışanlarına herkes çok nazikti. Otelin mutfağına değinmeden geçemeyeceğim şefleri harikalar yarattı. Zanzibarda yediğim en güzel ve lezzetli yemekleri burada yedim tabiki denizin üstünde gün batımı eşliğinde. Odalar güzelce afrika tarzında dekore edilmiş ve temizdi, hızlı internet ve ücretsiz su çay kahve. Hersey için teşekkürler tekrar geleceğim

Pros:

Das Personal und insbesondere der Hotelmanager waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!
Am Tag der Abreise ging es gesundheitlich nicht gut und wir mussten erst später (gegen 15 Uhr) zum Flughafen. Auf Anfrage, ob wir länger im Zimmer bleiben dürften, wurde uns sofort ein Late-Check-Out zugesagt.
Wir konnten bis 15 Uhr im Zimmer bleiben und uns ausruhen, was uns sehr geholfen hat.
Beim Check-In haben wir direkt viele Tipps, Hinweise und Empfehlungen per WhatsApp erhalten, sodass wir die Gegend erkunden konnten.
Auch die Nutzung eines zweiten Hotels mit Pool wurde ermöglicht, da es ebenfalls dem Hotelmanager gehört.

An exceptional DHOW experience
Pros:

As a solo traveler, I would rate Dhow 10/10. I felt safe and well taken care of by the entire staff throughout my stay. The hotel is exceptionally well organized from start to finish, with clear instructions that make everything easy and stress-free.

Its location is perfect; close to both the beach and the main clubs making it ideal for relaxing or going out. The food is delicious, and I especially loved the caramel cake… so much that I had it twice!

The views are simply stunning, from the sunbeds on the dock to the beach itself. I would absolutely love to come back.
