Dhow Beach Boutique Hotel

Wow, what an amazing hotel! After travelling for several weeks, it was wonderful to finally relax and enjoy some proper rest. The hotel was fantastic, the owner was incredibly helpful, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was also delicious. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

Super schönes gemütliches Hotel… Sehr freundliches Personal, toller Service 🏆… Der Chef begrüßt und verabschiedet einen persönlich und ist sehr aufmerksam 😊
Tolles Frühstück und leckere Speisen im Restaurant, direkt über dem Wasser und einer tollen Stimmung 🤩🤩🤩
Man wurde ständig mit kleinen Snacks überrascht 🤩🥰

Moderne aber authentische Ausstattung, saubere Badezimmer, warme Dusche mit genug Druck, Trinkwasserbehälter in jedem Stockwerk, ausgezeichnete Essen, sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal, sehr bemühter Besitzer, ruhige Lage, toller Strand - insgesamt eine super Erfahrung.

Everything was incredible!
The host made sure we felt comfortable and welcome.
The rooms had everything you need and were super clean. The view is amazing.
Its a small hotel that invites you to fully relax.

Dadurch, dass es nur wenige Zimmer gab, war es sehr familiär und das Personal kannte einen bereits am zweiten Tag persönlich, auf der Terrasse draußen hatte man einen schönen Ausblick und konnte ganztägig schön sitzen. Morgens gibt es immer einen Obst Teller und frisch gepressten Saft zusätzlich zum individuell ausgewählten Frühstück, was mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Der Inhaber war sehr nett und hat sich persönlich bei mir vorgestellt. Die Zimmer waren gut.

Our stay at Dhow Boutique Hotel in Zanzibar this week was nothing short of exceptional! 🌴✨ From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth, kindness, and outstanding hospitality. Every member of the team, from the wonderful staff to the management, went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, valued, and truly at home. It’s the kind of hospitality that turns a good holiday into an unforgettable experience!

Our King Double Room with a beautiful sea view was absolutely lovely. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful beauty of Zanzibar. Waking up to that gorgeous sea view was a special highlight of our stay! 🌊☀️

The food was another highlight. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a wonderful variety of flavours that made every meal a pleasure. The cleanliness throughout the hotel, the welcoming atmosphere, and the attention to detail really stood out to us.

What truly makes Dhow Boutique Hotel special, however, is its people. The entire team creates such a warm and inviting environment that you immediately feel like more than just a guest. Their friendliness, professionalism, and genuine care made our stay even more memorable.

If you’re planning a trip to Zanzibar and looking for a hotel with beautiful sea views, delicious food, clean and comfortable rooms, and exceptional hospitality, Dhow Boutique Hotel is definitely worth considering! The combination of comfort, location, and outstanding service made our experience truly special.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team and management for making our stay so wonderful. You have created something special, and your hospitality deserves to be celebrated. We left with beautiful memories, happy hearts, and a strong desire to return. ❤️

Highly recommended!

We stayed at this hotel for a week. The owner and staff are truly kind and dedicated to meeting every need. Overall, it was a good, relaxing stay. The location is excellent—right on the beach—though, as is the case across the entire island, the beach is affected by the tides.

I have stayed here before, and everything was perfect once again! The breakfast is varied and delicious, and the hotel's location is practically right in the ocean! The sunset is indescribable! Clean and very attentive staff! I will be back!

The property was so so lovely, clean and perfect location. All staff working there always had a smile and were so accommodating. They would always go above and beyond. For instance adding additional things to breakfast and offering coffee and drinks. We loved the owner of the property he was so friendly and welcoming. We loved our stay a lot because of how nice he was. They also did a lovely set up for anniversary with flowers on bed etc. The owner always checked in with us each day to see if we needed anything else. Would 100 percent recommend this place and we would love to come back and stay.

It was very clean, central to everything, well kept and very safe.

Sehr reichhaltiges, gutes und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Unglaublich freundliches und herzliches Personal. Sehr komfortable und vor allem saubere Zimmer. Gutes WiFi. Wir hatten Halbpension gebucht und waren mit der Karte und den Gerichten absolut zufrieden. Die Lage des Restaurants und des Hotels selbst ist traumhaft.

A acomodação é muito aconchegante! Possui telas de proteção pros mosquitos, 3 tipos de ducha no banheiro, secador, roupão e guarda-chuva!! Água sempre disponível em uma garrafa de vidro! Fiquei satisfeita 100% do tempo com toda a hospitalidade e serviços!

Loved the beach location

Everything about this hotel was perfect. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely perfect — close enough to easily reach the town, while also being within walking distance of all the great beach bars. It’s also a fantastic spot to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We also really enjoyed the breakfast, which was very varied, fresh and delicious.

The rooms were beautifully decorated, cozy and very nicely maintained. Overall, a lovely place to stay and we would definitely come back!

Отдыхали в этом отеле несколько дней и остались очень довольны!

В первую очередь хочется отметить прекрасный вид и замечательный собственный пляж — всё располагает к спокойному и комфортному отдыху. Отдельно понравился ресторан: вкусные и разнообразные блюда, видно, что здесь действительно с любовью относятся к своему делу и стараются сделать пребывание гостей максимально приятным.

Сам отель очень стильный — современный минималистичный дизайн, при этом всё продумано до мелочей: удобно, комфортно и ничего лишнего. Персонал приветливый, внимательный и всегда готов помочь, за что отдельное спасибо.

Однозначно рекомендуем этот отель для отдыха. С удовольствием вернулись бы сюда снова!

Wonderful beach front property. A very chill vibe great for people who want peaceful or romantic settings. The staff was very friendly, the owner was so kind, he met us the first night in person to welcome us and was there throughout the stay making sure everything we needed was taken care of.
