Review Highlights

Pros:
Excellent fresh seafood / strong food & beverage
Friendly, helpful staff (Dan, Said)
Beachfront location / terrace with ocean access
Clean rooms and pleasant garden/lighting

Cons:
Misleading or obstructed sea view for some rooms

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Rooms cleaned every two days and generally described as tidy; positive comments about well-kept grounds and evening atmosphere.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and smiling (Dan and Said singled out); however one review reports the manager loudly shouting at employees, a notable negative incident.
Location
1
Mixed: property is beachfront and many praise the terrace/shore access, but a detailed complaint highlights no actual sea view (blocked by a nearby roof) and strong low-tide effects leaving a muddy stretch and limited swimming—this significantly lowers location sentiment.
Room Quality
1
Comfortable beds and beachfront rooms (sand at the door) praised; air conditioning works well. Some expectations about sea view are unmet for at least one guest.
Amenities
1
Amenities are limited: no pool (important given the strong low-tide issue), massages offered nearby but not an on-site solution; generator for power cuts is a positive but does not fully compensate for missing guest amenities.
Value for Money
1
Several guests praised value (extended stays, strong recommendations, good half-board option) and fresh local produce contributing to perceived good value.
Food and Beverage
1
Consistently excellent feedback: fresh seafood caught by local fishermen, repeatedly praised chef (Danny) and meals described as restaurant-quality and a highlight of the stay.
Overall Experience
1
Generally positive for most guests (many would return and recommended the hotel), though one guest reported a very negative stay due to management behaviour and location/swimming issues, making the overall impression mildly positive but mixed.

I am certain that I will never book this place again ! The experience was horrible
Pros:

Staff apart from the owner are friendly although the owner Danny keeps shouting at them

Cons:

I checked in on 31st! The standard of the room booked was horrible, asked for a different room , I was upgraded to the so called villa, the owner Asked for 40 dollars for each night for the requested room, I had no problem Untill I went to sleep, the lights don’t work in the room , just one bulb, I used my own internet as there was no WiFi in the room, upon waking up , I asked for the pool and other advertised services like massage and free bikes, the staff were shocked to hear that massage was advertised as it’s not offered there at all! The general view of the hotel of the hotel as shown is not realistic, I front of the villa is an unfinished building, the two story fenced villa with a swimming pool is a private owned enterprise nothing to do with beach escape. The owner personally told me that he can offer me the massage, and that he will hold me and take me to the ocean to swim if am afraid, and even said that I don’t need to pay anything else if no man comes to my room! Iam married and had arrived earlier my partner was arriving two days later. I felt super unsafe as a woman and checked out the following day at 10! In my experience the owner was super rude and not willing to agree or understand or try to collaborate! If you must book please take the refundable option or you will loose your money! The room was damp and moldy I woke up with a headache and a blocked nose!

🌴 A Hidden Gem in Zanzibar – Peace, Safety & Exceptional Hospitality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pros:

A true Zanzibar gem

A wonderful place to stay if you are looking for **peace, cleanliness, safety and genuine hospitality**.

The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the room was spotless, and the atmosphere was wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The food was excellent, especially the fresh seafood.

The highlight for us was the **panoramic restaurant overlooking the ocean** — an amazing setting to enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the view.

We felt very well looked after from beginning to end. A beautiful, peaceful place with a truly personal touch.

**Highly recommended. We would definitely return!

❤️ “We Came Back Again… And We’ll Keep Coming Back!”
Pros:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **One of the Places We Keep Coming Back To in Zanzibar**

We have stayed at Zanzibar Beach Escape more than once, and every time we return, we remember exactly why we love this place. It is not just a hotel — it feels like our little home in Zanzibar.

The location is absolutely beautiful, right by the beach, with stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the food is fresh and delicious, and the restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal while looking out over the ocean.

What really makes the difference, however, is the hospitality. The staff are genuinely friendly, attentive and welcoming, and they make you feel like a valued guest rather than just another reservation.

We have visited many places in Zanzibar, but we keep choosing to come back here. That says more than anything else.

If you are looking for a beautiful beachfront stay, great food, friendly people and a genuinely relaxing Zanzibar experience, we highly recommend Zanzibar Beach Escape.

**We will definitely be back again — and we are already looking forward to our next stay!** 🌴🌊❤️

Pros:

-

Cons:

Wij hadden hier 4 nachten geboekt, maar zijn na 1 nacht vertrokken. Dat zegt eigenlijk al genoeg.

De kamer was vochtig en muf en maakte absoluut geen frisse of goed schoongemaakte indruk. Overal zaten spinnenwebben. De airco werkte niet goed en er was geen klamboe, terwijl de kamer vol muggen zat. Het meest bizarre vonden we de badkamer: er zat geen gordijn of andere afscherming voor het raam, terwijl mensen vanaf het centrale plein gewoon naar binnen konden kijken terwijl je stond te douchen. Echt onbegrijpelijk.

De werkelijkheid kwam wat ons betreft totaal niet overeen met de foto’s waarop we geboekt hadden. Die foto’s zijn zo mooi en glad weergegeven dat wij ons serieus afvroegen in hoeverre ze de werkelijke situatie nog laten zien. Ook kregen we na onze ervaring sterke twijfels bij een deel van de extreem positieve reviews die online staan, omdat wij ons daar totaal niet in herkenden.

Na één nacht hebben we daarom besloten uit te checken, terwijl we voor vier nachten hadden geboekt. We hebben onze klachten duidelijk uitgelegd aan de manager. In plaats van serieus naar een oplossing te zoeken, werd hij boos en vertelde hij ons onder andere dat we het nergens beter zouden krijgen dan daar. Hij leek zich vooral druk te maken over de mogelijkheid dat we een negatieve review zouden plaatsen. De problemen daadwerkelijk oplossen bleek ondertussen niet mogelijk.

We zijn uiteindelijk zonder enige restitutie vertrokken en hebben ergens anders op Zanzibar een fantastisch hotel gevonden. Dus nee: het lag absoluut niet aan onze verwachtingen van Zanzibar.

Daarmee was het helaas nog niet klaar. Nadat we al vertrokken waren, bleef de manager ons meerdere keren via WhatsApp benaderen over de situatie en een mogelijke negatieve review. Erg onprofessioneel en vooral ontzettend irritant, zeker nadat je als gast al hebt besloten verlies te nemen en ergens anders naartoe te gaan.

Voor ons was dit zonder twijfel de slechtste hotelervaring van onze hele reis.

Décevant
Pros:

Hôtel "pieds dans l eau"

Cons:

Les photos de l hôtel sont très embellies et ne correspondent pas vraiment à la réalité. On a l impression que c'est un magnifique resort tandis que c'est un tout petit hôtel. Le ménage est fait tous les 2 jours et encore il faut demander la femme de ménage de le faire et de lui laisser la clé parce qu'elle n'a pas de double. Après, pour récupérer la clé on attend qu on essaie toutes les clés de l hôtel car les numéros ne sont pas indiqués dessus. Le matelas est enfoncé aux plusieurs endroits. Les oreillers sont très durs. Le petit déjeuner est moyen et répétitif. Il manque l essentiel (thé noir, confiture, beurre) et ils n'ont pas la présence d esprit pour en acheter dans une supérette du coin. Le patron était distant avec nous parce que, à mon avis, on n'a pas choisi SON taxi pour nos déplacements.

An unforgettable experience in Zanzibar!

A wonderful, quiet and safe place, with a very friendly and attentive team. We felt safe throughout our stay and were welcomed with great warmth.

The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and the fish and seafood are excellent. The atmosphere by the ocean makes everything even more special.

“We cancelled another booking to stay longer at Zanzibar Beach Escape!
Pros:

“Originally, we planned to stay only a few nights at Zanzibar Beach Escape, but we enjoyed it so much that we decided to extend our stay and even cancelled another reservation. The main reason was the excellent high-speed internet connection — one of the best we experienced in Zanzibar. The WiFi was fast, stable and perfect for working online, video calls and staying connected.
Besides the amazing internet, we loved the beachfront location, the peaceful atmosphere, the friendly service and the beautiful ocean view from the restaurant. Zanzibar Beach Escape is a great choice for anyone looking for relaxation, comfort and reliable internet while enjoying the beauty of Zanzibar.

"Sunrises over the ocean and tranquility as far as the eye can see – an unforgettable experience at Zanzibar Beach
Pros:

I stayed at Zanzibar Beach Escape and it was the kind of experience that stays in my mind for a long time, not just as a regular vacation, but as a real break from the daily rhythm.

The location is one of the biggest strengths: a beach with fine sand, turquoise water and a sunset that seems almost unreal. Mornings start quietly, with the sound of the ocean, and the overall atmosphere is calm, relaxing, uncrowded and unhurried.

The rooms are clean, airy and decorated simply but tastefully, so that the focus remains on the view and nature. The staff is friendly and attentive, always willing to help, without being intrusive, which makes the stay even more enjoyable.

The food is fresh and has that specific taste of the place, with well-prepared fish and seafood and enough portions for an active or relaxing day on the beach.

Overall, it is an ideal place if you want peace, ocean and an authentic experience in Zanzibar, without too much tourist hustle and bustle. It's not about exaggerated luxury, but about atmosphere and connecting with the place.
