Hotels in Pingwe

Stayed in October 22 for 4 days. The hotel itself is very good, the staff is super friendly and very helpful. Always with a smile. The view is fantastic. We took a family beach room. First line. The rooms do not justify 5 star hotel. The room is desinged badly. It is long in which the double bed is set together with a twin bed, and in the other section of the room there is another twin bed near the...

Nice beach resort. The facilities are amazing, but the rooms are far from a 5 star hotel. The walls are super thin and you can hear your neighbors at all time. Also, in our room, the toilet was not flushing properly, and there is no wifi available in the room either. The swimming pool is very nice and the private beach is lovely. All staff is super friendly. The hotel has private tour operators selling...

Very good hotel! Beds are good, the bedroom was clean, nice place to relax or to do activities but the food could be better I think. The staff was amazing, very friendly! I recommend this hotel for its good spirit

There is no doubt that the charming staff makes the place better, the rooms are very basic and certainly do not reflect a 5 star hotel. The food is definitely satisfying and you can always find something delicious and interesting to eat. As I wrote the staff is very kind and gives a feeling of warmth. The pool is great with a lovely view of the sea, the gardens in the hotel are very beautiful. The...

Nice place, bungalows, great for honeymoon couples the Beach is beatutiful too, just the wifi is not for free.

The hotel has a perfect location. Choose Junior suite while booking so that you can enjoy the sea from your private terrace.

Upendo Beach is an exceptional place has an amazing beach view and the decor of the place is great too. The cocktails are amazing. They have a set of cocktails or you can make your own cocktail which I would highly recommend. A list of different liquor, spices and fruit for your own personalised cocktail. The food also very good! I've had several dishes and haven't been disappointed with any of them...

Overall the food was very tasty (ordered some seafood skewer, despite being served rather cold) but none of the veggie smoothies were available and just one of the dessert could be ordered. Also no paper menu, only QR code to scan, which is sad for such a fancy restaurant. Setting was beautiful. Waiter didn't know much about the dishes but did his best and was very friendly. Having this in mind I would...

Beautiful place with yummy food. I recommend this place over the rock. If you want to go the rock grab a drink there and then hop on over to Upendo for food. You will not be disappointed and you will have a great view of the rock. The service, atmosphere and food were all top notch! We will be coming back.

Amazing spot for resting, chilling, walking by the beach, and watching the sunrise. We stayed in the villa with rooftop pool and it is the best option ever to enjoy and relax. Staff was extremely nice and welcoming, specially reception and housekeeping, we felt like home. Great stay!

Very nice hotel/restaurant! I booked 4 nights in the villa with private pool and it was one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. The hotel is small and so cosy. The interior of the restaurant and rooms are very stylish. The food is really good (one of the best restaurants in Zanzibar), the staff is so friendly, clean rooms,…. Would definitely recommend this place!!!

Amazing food, exceptional service and the friendliest team made our stay very memorable! However, this hotel is far from 'modern luxury'. We came here after a few nights at the Park Hyatt, for double the price.. what a downgrade. The website and reviews got our expectations high, we paid an exorbitant price for 3 nights and sadly I can't say it was worth it. The premise was minimal, ordinary and basic...

The hotel was very good, I would definitely come back here if I visit Zanzibar again. The service and food were of very good quality, we took the all inclusive package which I would recommend when you stay here. It contains all food (a la carte) and drinks, including very nice cocktails made with fresh fruits. The staff was exceptional. Mozes, Peter,Innocent and Benjamin took very good care of us...

Amazing place, amazing view, amazing food... Best of all the people there

It's so amazing place I like this hotel from my heart 🥰

Really amazing staff. Looked after us really well. It was second time coming to the hotel. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back.

Lovely relaxing time at the hotel. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the stay is comfortable. I would recommend this hotel and will keep coming back.

We stayed at Albatross Ocean View for 10 days and we had an amazing experience. The hotel is beautiful, the room was great with spectacular views, the pool and the beach were awesome, the food at the restaurant is delicious, and the staff is absolutely amazing! We had full board and it was definitely worth it; the food, as I said, is delicious, with pretty much everything being homemade, including...

A Touch of Perfection at Boutique Hotel Matlai Hospitality: Experiencing the hospitality at Boutique Hotel Matlai is like embarking on a journey of warmth and attentiveness. The level of customer service from every staff member sets a new standard for what exceptional hospitality should be. The hotel's adept butlers seemed to know our schedules better than we did, going above and beyond to create...

Amazing. Comfortable. Relaxed. I have been in many family run boutique hotels. But seldomly have I seen such relaxed luxury and personalized service. Since matlai only has six rooms you hardly feel the other guests. The butler service makes your stay a personalized experience. You decide where and when you eat. Very good value for your money. I will come back

The perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Matlai was the grand finale for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful time. We loved that there are only a few rooms and lots of options for lounging. Many times we were the only people by the pool and it felt like we had our own private resort. It is right on the beach so you can easily go for a walk or swim. They have snorkeling gear and water shoes that you...

we are still so positively surprised and totally amazed by this beautiful boutique hotel! the friendliness of the people, the beauty, the lush and rich tropical green, the beautiful sound of the swahili language, the smells and scents. excellent, but really excellent service compared with so many we stayed all over the world. remember this is and you are in zanzibar! tim and his wonderful team will...

We traveled with three children and three adults and so we booked a whole villa - what a magical experience. Matlai didn't overlook any detail, from the nightly turn down service that they timed to our baby's bedtime, to the local bath salts, the excellent food, the private pool and essentially a private beach experience. The hotel is set up for great privacy even when fully booked. We also had another...

Absolut Great & Perfekt stay! Stunning Place to be. The Team is extremely polite, sympathetic as well as adorable! Thanks a lot for the perfect time, all the best & take care of yourselves! Best regards & i will surely come back :)

Milele Beach Resort was the perfect choice for to spend a few days by the Indian Ocean. The resort is right on the oceanfront, the entrance of our bungalow was no further than 30 meters from the waves - it was majestic to listen the swell at night. The resort only has four rooms and four bungalows - a true boutique hotel. Our bungalow was comfortable and spacious, all made of natural materials, mainly...

Milele is a good looking place and the swimming pool was very nice, also the pizzas taste good. Although it must be said that some things can be improved. The owner was in first instance not friendly to us. She let us wait for approximately 45 minutes because her meeting with her employees was more important than we as customers. We discussed this afterwards and than it was good, but this should not...

We did our honeymoon there and it was perfect. The rooms are beachfront and have areas to relax. The restaurant is amazing and serve delicious food, the best we ate in zanzibar. The staff are very nice and welcoming . Very recommended!

Great location! It is right on the beach very quiet part of the island! We enjoyed our time and we can’t thank the staff enough for being so wonderful and hospitable! We had to leave early in the morning for a flight Lisa woke up at 4 am to make sure we are up and brought delicious breakfast with everything we asked for especially for us! She and the wonderful crew had made the vacation feel like...

The place is super awesome I loved, quiet simple and very friendly people. I loved it

I can not rate this place high enough !!. Amazing location , beautiful beach , beautiful food , rooms are perfect , the pool/chill area is amazing too and every member of staff are beautiful people with amazing service we even had a day trip sorted for us by mohammed who made it feel so easy and stress free !! Will 100% come back next time i am visiting zanzibar island

Went to lounge by the pool and have their prawn curry, which was excellent. Friendly staff and a great view of the ocean!

This place was like a dream. Very quiet, right on the beach. You can see the sunrise from your bed. The rooms were clean and the staff is friendly. The food is also very good, they make the best curry. Tasty breakfast and super delicious fresh juice ❤ best place if you would like a relaxed vacation.

The view is just breathtaking. I was in one of the beach-facing bungalows with the waves lapping no more than 20 metres from the end of the bed. To see the sunrise and the moonrise from your bed, as well as to see the traditional Dhow fisherman sail by every now and then was just magical. Sublime, even. Muhammed was always readily available to help organize and advise on tours and activities and to...

We had fantastic stay for one night with our family. Mnana have unbelievable amazing sea view, rooms is big and 5 star standard. Swimming pool was great as well. Staff friendly and helpful. Thank you Mnana!

Wonderful place, truly paradise, very beautiful villa. Nice staff and owners. Found it at Airbnb

Paradise on earth! What an amazing place , Zandre makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. The food is exceptional and Richard and his staff are unbelievable in for filling your every need . Once again thank you Zandre for an unforgettable experience in Zanzibar.

If heaven exists it is here

Awesome Place..

Michamvi Beach house is something truly special! You get treated like family and we just did not want to leave, so much so that we extended our stay there for an additional 4 days 😉 the most incredible view to wake up to as the sun rises, and just all-in-all the most perfect place to relax, unwind, eat, drink.... and fish! Would give the owners Zandre and Magarita a 10 star rating if possible

a very big thank you to the Horizon Sultan Palace hotel for the very warm welcome, the staff is very friendly and offers a high level of service (Marta, Mohamed, Loukas, severini, sawsisco…..) special thanks to Charida who was caring and who wanted to make sure that we were satisfied, now the icing on the cake the great and unique Phillipe is the strong point, elegance and sympathy in person. and...

Lovely place. The hotel team were very nice, they helped us with anything we needed and made our stay great. Rooms are very big and comfortable. The hotel has a nice pool and a convenient access to the beach. The location itself, though, is a bit far from the main attractions of the island which are mostly at the north.

5 stars location, room incredible, staff very helpful, fantastic.

Very nice hotel, beautiful rooms, fantastic team, especially the manager who'll make sure to help you with anything you need ! Thanks for this amazing stay ! V

I stayed for a week over New Years, 2019, 2020. I was a single, but it's ideal for a romantic trip too. Lots of families from Europe. My suite -- a large individual house really -- was comfortable and spacious and sooo quiet. Food was lovely, esp. Lunch grilled on the beach. A N Year's party held in the spectacular main building with a live band was delightful. Love this place. Keith N Toronto

We found Paradise! Hekaya is the most charming little boutique Hotel, right on Pingwe beach, one of the most beautifull beaches where we have ever been! Rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated and clean, with a fantastic balcony overlooking the ocean! The common areas are also very clean and we miss the cocktail of the day, prepared with all attention and care to surprise us! But what has really...

Outstanding and unique Hotel. Location is perfect with direct sea access. On the seashore you can find anything man would search for. Staff are extremely friendly, always smiling and happy to help (especially Jakoubo) and Breakfast couldn‘t be better ! The manager welcomed us in the middle of the night, always available for assistance. Highly recommended!

Hekaya is the place to be! We had an amazing stat there, the hotel is ao cute, the staff super nice, the views amazing, the food super good! We spent 4 days there and we would repite 100%. I also recommend you to take the tours with them as they offer many different tours at good price. You also have the Rock restaurant very close and it has amazing views. Hope to come back soon!

Hekaya is sheer paradise. Everything there is amazing: from the garden to the surroundings, including the pool, the bar and the beach, so beautiful and unique. The staff is lovely, really warm and super nice, always willing to help you at any time. All of them are very good professionals and people. They make you feel part of a family :) Rooms are big, comfy and well decorated. On top of that, the...

Our stay at Hekaya was amazing! One of the best hotel in Zanzibar right on the Pingwe beach and 3min walking to the famous restaurant The Rock. We enjoyed our stay in this small familial hotel (only 5 rooms) where we were treated like family. The swimming pool facing the ocean is absolutely ideal for having a nice and chill afternoon. The garden with flowers is colourful and well maintained. Rooms...
