Veldig bra
Pros:

Veldig pent og fint hotell!
Beste frokosten vi spiste på turen!
De hadde samarbeid med the rock, som gjorde man hadde tilgang til solsenger på stranden, kort spasertur!
Store fine rom, stort bad og balkong
Gode store senger!

Cons:

Når vi skulle bestille taxi fra hotellet fikk vi dobbel pris enn det vi fikk av en taxisjåfør rett utenfor hotellet!
Litt mye palmer rundt bassengområdet så det ble litt lite sol ved bassenget
Noe maur på rommet

Hakuna matata!
Pros:

The staff was always really friendly and helpful. The room was nice, but I wasn't 100% clear that I booked a room that will have all 4 beds inside, because images on the site were a bit confusing. Restaurant is really nice, and has good food, it is convenient to eat there, especially when they bring tables out next to pool.A big plus for this hotel is that the guests can use beach and sunbeds on Kendwa Rocks beach which is nice and close, and very good for Kendwa - so it is almost like this hotel is "beachfront".

Cons:

I think they had some problems with the pool while we were there, so it was emptied out at times, filters didn't work at times - so it was barely usable - but you don't come to Zanzibar for the pool, heh. Also the power cuts are very often, but that doesn't have anything to do with the hotel itself.

Excellent, si un jour je peux, j’y reviens!!!!
Pros:

Tout était très bien.
L’accès à la plage nous a été montré par le personnel de l’accueil.
Petit déjeuner très bon, les repas sont excellents .piscine très agréable.
Le repas du soir, pris au bord de la piscine, c’était tout simplement les cadre parfait!!!

Cons:

La clim dans la chambre est un peu bruyante.
Mais surtout lors des coupures d’électricité, le bruit des groupes est un peu désagréable.

Pros:

Poolen,massagen og den ældre man i restauranten

Cons:

Hotellet var uden strøm,den første dag næsten hele dagen og derefter mange gange om dagen,aften og natten under hele opholdet.
Aircon kunne man kun skrue op og ned på ,ikke andet og ingen display så det graderne måtte man gætte sig til

Pros:

Bra att kunna använda grannhotellets strandområde. Fint läge på strandrestaurangen som hör till hotellet.

Cons:

Aircondition trasig två kvällar och ibland inget vatten. Lite för mycket turister i Kendwa för vår smak.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Kibanda in Kendwa and I can highly recommend it. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained, and everything is kept clean at all times. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, always smiling, and very warm. They are genuinely helpful, respectful, humble, and they work very hard to make sure every guest feels comfortable and welcomed.

The location is also perfect. You can eat at the restaurant that is right in front of the hotel, and there are supermarkets, liquor stores, an ATM, and even a place to charge your phone nearby — all within walking distance. Everything you need is right there.

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. I even had a massage there and the massage therapist was very knowledgeable and professional. It was an excellent experience.

I truly had a really, really great time at Hotel Kibanda and I can only recommend it to anyone visiting Kendwa. You will feel at home here.
