Nothing as there was no room available. The manager Kelvin left us waiting 3 hours without informing us that there was no room! Another couple from journey had the same experience. He said his extension rooms would be finished in 2 days! We went to see them! No electricity No water! Water pipes, bare electricity wires & cement everywhere! No where near completion!!! He ended taking us to the Amaan Hotel at 4pm! (Our flight was 9:05) so we missed the whole 1st day of holiday! There were only 2 nights we could stay as they were also fully booked!! This hotel room had no working shower & the surrounds outside were dirty & unfinished near our room! I was upset after our other Expedia holiday experience in July so this as well caused a lot of stress!!! I tried all evening to get hold of Expedia & one person said she would call me back but never did. It took all day!! Expedia are inconsistent & unhelpful for the second time this year on holiday! Toilet in reception area had no door to the toilet no sink to wash hands & was very very dirty

Worst hotel on Zanzibar for the price they charge
A scam , a building site , false advertising, pictures on your website did not match the property , not on the beach , on a busy dirt road , breakfast full of flies and cheap instant on a coffee island , we left after one night and will put in a claim , we got a sea facing on the beach room for the same price room broken door ‚ bathroom needs , 1 sheet no blanket , one bedside reading light , will send pictures with my mail as soon as I get home and submit my claim

Not worth the money ... although lovely staffs
100 usd per night doesn't provide internet and cable TV in the room as promised .. TV does exist but not the channels ... 5 mins walk from the beach which is great but a little unsafe feeling while coming back in pitch dark after dinner, as dinner not served in the hotel. the hotel arranges cheap snorkeling tour to mnemba islands, a must do ....

Unser Aufenthalt im Zanzibar Star Resort war hervorragend. Es ist nicht weit zum Strand, das Personal war super zuvorkommend und das Frühstück super lecker.

Zanzibar star resort is one of the most amazing place we stayed in zanzibar Island 🏝. We spent 2 nights and we had a great time from the service to the friendly staff Team. The one thing we liked the most is the delicious breakfast, it was great so many good food and fruits. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed and the whole place was surrounded by a beautiful garden and the pool at the very front of our room. The beach was about 5 minutes walk and it was great with so many activities to do and in the evening, there were people performing their cultural dance randomly at the beach which i loved watching.

Cet hôtel est bien situé, pas loin de la plage, bien qu'un long chemin très poussiéreux nous en sépare je n'ai pas trouver cela dérangeant. L'hôtel est joli et dispose de 2 piscines et d'un espace assez grand à l'accueil où il est agréable de se poser, si l'on fait abstraction des nombreuses mouches, c'est aussi le seul endroit où on capte la wifi. Cependant, le jour de notre arrivée on m'annonce que l'on ne retrouve pas ma réservation expédia, je leur montre donc mon mail de confirmation, je vais même jusqu'à leur montrer que mon compte en banque a été débité. Rien à faire, c'était à nous de trouver une solution pour leur prouver que nous avions réservé au sein de l'hôtel. Pendant plus de 2 heures nous avons attendu à l'accueil, tandis que le gérant "était allé voir les établissements alentours pour nous trouver un autre hôtel", lorsqu'il est revenu, il s'est excusé de ne pas avoir pas assez bien chercher notre réservation car finalement il la retrouvé mais pas au nom de la plateforme d'Expedia. Lors de notre longue attente je me rend d'ailleurs compte que nous ne sommes pas les premiers à qui cela est arrivé. "Heureusement" pour nous, nous avons fini par avoir une chambre assez jolie (malgré le fait que l'hôte était soi disant complet). Enfin, mis à part pour le petit dej' qui est très bon, je vous déconseille de manger dans le restaurant, mon mari et moi avons été malade toute la nuit !!

Great hotel, with beautiful surroundings.
Great hotel, with beautiful surroundings. We stayed at the hotel for three nights during New Year eve. Staff was helpful and did the most of our stay. New Years Eve celebration was perfect. Good food, excellent service. The beach surroundings was beautiful. Rent a scooter at the beach and drive miles and miles at the beach.
