Very small and too basic hotel, only good thing is the location
Pros:

At a great location just on to the beach.

Cons:

Very small room, not enough furniture inside. Wash room too basic. Restaurant not fully functional (only provides basic breakfast)

a rustic beach experience
Pros:

location was right on the beach
bed was comfortable & nicely decorated
the manager went above & beyond in service (including extending breakfast service pending our later arrival)
had AC
mini-fridge in room

Cons:

had 2 different rooms a week apart; first room had a fully wet bathroom as shower drained away from shower to flood entire room; 2nd room had a shower ledge to keep in water but sink faucet was loose/barely connected

wi-fi was iffy in rooms

outdoor rattan-style chairs were cute but too small for adults

Terribile
Cons:

Purtroppo la camera prenotata e confermata mesi prima, doveva ospitare l'intero nucleo familiare composto da 4 adulti, a malapena ci si poteva stare in 3. Non proprio pulita, niente aria condizionata e ventilatore a soffitto malfunzionante, forte odore di naftalina evidentemente per la presenza di blatte. Pochi centimetri dalla cucina. Siamo scappati in un altra struttura

ικανοποιητική εμπειρία !
Pros:

Απίστευτα ευγενικο προσωπικό. Τα δωμάτια πανω στη παραλια με το που βγαίνεις πατάς άμμο!

Cons:

Το πρωινό δεν είναι μπουφέ, σου δίνουν επιλογές 4 5 πράγματα να διαλέξεις και σου φέρνουν ΠΟΛΥ μικρες ποσότητες! Αν ειχε αφθονία να φας οσο θες θα ηταν τελεια ! Αλλα αυτο ειναι το μονο που υστερεί!
Κάτι τελευταίο, ξεχάσαμε κατι στο δωματιο και έστειλα μήνυμα στο WhatsApp μου είπαν θα με ενημερώσουν άμεσα και ποτε δεν ξανα έστειλαν κατι που μας δυσαρεστησε πολυ γιατι θα μπορούσαμε να βρουμε τροπο να παρουμε τα πράγματα μας !

SCONSIGLIATO
Pros:

Gestore molto gentile e disponibile. Security sempre molto disponibile, super efficiente, molto in gamba sempre col sorriso e pronti ad aiutare! La spiaggia privata permette di stare tranquilli dai beach boys e non essere importunati.

Cons:

Abbiamo prenotato la camera tripla da 40mq con vista mare. La camera era da 29mq e non c'era la vista mare, bensì si vedevamo il diving ed il ristorante. Quando lo abbiamo fatto notare, il gestore ci ha risposto "ma dal lato della terrazza si intravede il mare..". Abbiamo lasciato perdere.
All'arrivo la camera puzzava in modo nauseabondo di fogna, la mia compagna non è riuscita a dormire la prima notte dai conati di vomito. Le lenzuola erano macchiate e piene di capelli. Gli asciugamani puzzavano di vomito. Per fortuna il giorno seguente il gestore ci ha fatto cambiare lenzuola ed asciugamani. Ha inoltre fatto pulire meglio la stanza (l'acqua delle pulizie era nera da fare impressione, non so da quanto non venissero lavati pavimento e tappeto) ed ha fatto mettere dell'incenso per coprire l'odore. Problema non risolto, ma situazione molto migliorata.
Colazione tirchia. Chiedi della frutta e ti portano un piattino da tazza di caffè con sopra mezza (MEZZA!) fetta di ananas. Le cameriere inoltre sono svogliate, quando chiedi qualcosa sembra che debbano farti chissà quale favore.
Il giorno prima dell'arrivo abbiamo chiesto se il giorno seguente (quello dell'arrivo) avremmo potuto cenare lì, visto che è indicato il ristorante. Ci è stato detto di no, perché il cibo deve essere ordinato la mattina per la sera. Non capisco perché no potevano mandarci la foto del menù per scegliere. Ci è stato risposto che intorno c'erano dei ristoranti convenzionati.
Ultima cosa che non capisco: noi abbiamo soggiornato 5 notti e ci hanno fatto pagare 790$. L'ultimo giorno abbiamo scoperto che un'altra coppia che è andata via il nostro stesso giorno ha pagato 350$ per la stanza di categoria superiore alla nostra con vista mare (vera vista mare). Non capisco sulla base di cosa facciano i prezzi.

Don’t recommend - unclean place with unrenovated rooms
Pros:

Die Location ist großartig, direkt am Strand. Eigene Strandliegen mit Security.

Cons:

Es gibt offensichtlich renovierte und unrenovierte Zimmer.
Die nicht renovierten Zimmer sind alt, muffig und gehen zur Rückseite eines Restaurants und sehen NICHT aus, wie auf den Bildern. Ich bin sehr verwundert über die vielen positiven Bewertungen.

Unser Bad war in einem schrecklichen Zustand. Es war heruntergekommen, der Duschkopf hielt nicht und es kam kaum genug Wasser zum Duschen. Überall lagen Kloreiniger-Steine herum.

Direkt hinter dem Zimmer befand sich das Notstromaggregat, sodass man bei Stromausfall wegen des Krachs kaum schlafen konnte.
Neben dem Zimmer befand sich außerdem ein Raum für Mitarbeiter oder Locals, in dem die ganze Nacht Leute ein- und ausgehen.

Wir hatten nach dem Verlassen des Hotels mysteriöse Stiche, wohl bed bugs.

Preis-Leistung ist unterirdisch, wir haben für einen ähnlichen Preis wesentlich bessere Hotels in anderen Orten auf Zanzibar besucht.

Fantastisch verblijf en absoluut een aanrader!
Pros:

Wij hebben een ontzettend fijn verblijf gehad bij Zanzi Beach. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen voelden we ons welkom. Het personeel is vriendelijk, behulpzaam en oprecht gastvrij. Ze doen echt hun best om ervoor te zorgen dat je een ontspannen en zorgeloos verblijf hebt.
De locatie is prachtig en heerlijk rustig. De sfeer is kleinschalig en ontspannen, waardoor je echt het gevoel hebt even helemaal weg te zijn. Alles was netjes en goed verzorgd en we hebben enorm genoten van de mooie omgeving en het strand.

Wat voor ons vooral het verschil maakte, was de persoonlijke service en vriendelijkheid van het personeel. Geen massaal hotelgevoel, maar juist aandacht voor de gasten en een warme sfeer.

Wij kijken met een heel goed gevoel terug op ons verblijf en zouden Zanzi Beach zonder twijfel aanraden aan anderen die op zoek zijn naar rust, gastvrijheid en een mooie plek om van Zanzibar te genieten.
Bedankt aan het hele team van Zanzi Beach voor de geweldige tijd. Wij komen heel graag nog eens terug! ❤️🌴

立地良すぎてリピート確定❣️
Pros:

オーナーもスタッフも皆さんフレンドリーで話しやすく丁寧でした。

ビーチフロントで最高のロケーションにはビックリと感動。

すぐ隣のレストランも10%割引もあり,のんびり過ごせました。夜は波の音だけで、騒音もなく、熟睡できました。

Necesita reforma urgente, si hubiera sido reembolsable sin dudarlo me hubiera cambiado, e incluso me lo plantee perdiend
Pros:

El desayuno bueno y abundante para el precio de la estancia y el personal muy atento y correcto, especialmente Samwel y Peter, los vigilantes de seguridad y conserjes.
La ubicación magnífica, porque es de los mejores espacios de la playa y estás en la misma arena.

Cons:

El alojamiento necesita muchas reformas, los baños de pena, sin presión en el agua, todo muy deteriorado, sin toallas de mano, sin vasos para los cepillos, una cortina cogida con un cable de acero, muy viejo, nada agradable.
Las camas no estaban mal en cuanto a colchón pero las almohadas de trozos de foam, distintas, nada cómodas.
La verdad no repetiría en esas condiciones.
No tiene un espacio para estar si hay tormenta o no quieres estar en la playa.

Perfekte Lage aber zu teuer und falsche Angaben bei Booking
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage direkt am Strand. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Den gebuchten Meerblick gab es nicht. Für die Preiskategorie könnte man zumindest ein baulich akzeptables Bad erwarten. Das angepriesene Highspeed WLAN gab es nur auf der Frühstücksveranda und Richtung Strand, im Zimmer selbst meist gar keins.

Incomparable avec Jambiani. Beaucoup plus vivant, pas de marée basse et meilleure ambiance
Pros:

Proximité de la plage qui est juste en face de votre chambre. Super restaurant juste en face de votre chambre et en bord de la plage. «  blue sea » Petit déjeuner raisonnable.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Emplacement à quelques mètres de la plage et transats mis à disposition

Cons:

Prix beaucoup trop élevé par rapport aux prestations, confort sommaire, lits pas confortables, salle de bain vétuste sans eau chaude quasiment, serviettes de toilette tachées et trouées, chambre donnant sur un restaurant sans vue sur la plage, mauvaise expérience concernant le service de blanchisserie de l’hôtel qui m’a rendu mon linge 1 jour plus tard que prévu et totalement mouillé..
