Very nice beach location.
Pros:

Beautiful beach location. Very good food. Very nice people working there, always trying to make our stay pleasant. Great AC.

Cons:

The mattress and pillows are soft and makes you feel hot, something we didn't like but not much to do about it. AC flow is exactly towards the bed but with a little bit of adjustment we managed to sleep ok overall.

Ein kleines Paradies am Strand.
Pros:

Die Lage ist traumhaft. Die ganze Architektur und Atmosphäre entschleunigend, sooo schön, das Personal extrem freundlich! Die Gartenanlage gleicht einem kleinen botanischen Garten.
Auch die Küche ist phantastisch.

Cons:

Nichts, alles hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.

Niemiecka jakość na Zanzibarze :)
Pros:

Hotel to klasa sama w sobie. Wszystko mega dopracowane. Pyszna kuchnia i wspaniałe drinki. Bardzo uczynna obsługa i wspaniała właścicielka potrafiąca rozwiązać każdy problem w sposób zasługujący na najwyższą ocenę. Bardzo kameralnie i domowo. Super jedzenie i napoje. Plaża sprzątana wcześnie rano przez personel. Był to nasz 5 hotel na wyspie więc mamy jakieś porównanie. Niemiecka jakość na Zanzibarze :) POLECAM

Cons:

Za krótki pobyt :)

Pros:

Our stay were very nice, however I would suggest solid panels between the balconies of the rooms as the wooden panels lack privacy.

Lack of privacy

Wer hier was kleines aber sehr feines, mit wunderschöner Lage sucht, ist hier genau richtig.
Pros:

Toll gelegen. Näher am Meer geht nicht. Man hört das Meer rauschen im Bett.

Extrem freundliches Personal und sehr sauber.

Dadurch das es sich um ein kleines Boutique Hotel handelt, ist es eine sehr gemütliche und familiäre Atmosphäre.

Hôtel intimiste avec plage magnifique et sans algues.
Pros:

Nous étions en 1ere ligne avec la mer à nos pieds dans une chambre en rdc avec terrasse très mignonne. Dans un havre de paix. Hôtel intimiste de 5 chambres . Calme et cuisine soignée de qualité . Nous avons fait plusieurs hôtels et avons eu un coup de cœur pour celui ci.

Pros:

Poziția hotelului pe plaja, piscina, foarte intim și linistit. Personalul mereu atent și cu zâmbetul pe buze, curățenie, mâncarea bună. Patricia, noua managera a fost tot timpul prezenta și atenta sa ne simțim foarte bine.

Cons:

Micul dejun bun dar pt un sejur de 7 nopți ar trebui sa fie mai diversificat.

Your home in Zanzibar
Pros:

Everything that was written in previous reviews is true. This is a fantastic hotel right on the beach with a wonderful team. We met John the gardener who made bracelets from palm tree leaves and beautiful flowers for the guests. Jacklyn was just unbelievable and helped us with everything. The restaurant crew, Taariq, Dennis and Mohammed, were just wonderful and we enjoyed every meal. Total relaxation on a beautiful location and a very well managed small boutique hotel. We hope to return soon. Thank you so much Hekaya team!

Cons:

If breakfast had more variety it would be even better. Also, please consider to only use glass bottles to avoid plastic waste.

Pros:

Staff members were brilliant - shoutout to Jacqueline, who is indeed a perfect manager, cleaning ladies who made all premises sparkling clean and everyone else who made our stay nice, safe, and pleasant.
Our room was great with our own private terrace, excellent views, and multiple windows. The room had an AC, but there was no really need to use it often as there was a great sea breeze coming and a very pleasant fan. We also enjoyed the well designed bathroom with everything one needs.thr bed was huge and comfy
The hotel is right in front of the sea, which changes its color and shape multiple times a day. We enjoyed swimming in the sea in the high tide, as the sea and waves were absolutely amazing.
Otherwise, during the low tide, we could enjoy the pool and its area. The hotel territory is really beautiful with all different trees, flowers and plants.
We are grateful that the staff packed for us breakfast in a day when we had to leave for early safari.

Cons:

The food was mostly ok but could be better and with more consistent quality.
