"Vi ankommer til hotellet kl 19, her er meget ulækkert. Poolen så beskidt Og der flyder med døde dyr i den, så vandoverfladen næsten er dækket. Værelset er som sådan ok til prisen, hvis bare de havde gjort rent, skiftet sengetøj fra sidste besøgende, husket toiletpapir og sat et gardin op for det store vindue på badeværelset hvor alle kan kigge ind fra poolområdet. Personalet var egentlig søde nok og fik da hentet toiletpapir, om aftenen fik vi en drink med personalet på hotellet, som egentlig...

Top Tanzania Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Swahili – All Inclusive – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, although Tuesday’s DJ evening was disappointing. The DJ played a song requested by Israeli guests which, as a supporter of a free Palestine, I personally found upsetting and inappropriate. I noticed many people left after the song, although I cannot speak for their reasons. I would encourage the hotel to be more mindful of music choices and guests’ sensitivities. Aside from this incident, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay."

Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed this holiday. Hotel staff were lovely very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Big shoutout to Frank and Hamad always top tier service, very well mannered hospitable always making sure we’re good and always going the extra mile. Rooms were good and spacious. Lovely beach location in nungwi perfect views great for swimming but do watch out for locals on beach as they will get very defensive when enquiring about pricing for excursions with more than 1 person."

Southern Sun Dar es Salaam

10/10 Excellent

"Southern Sun is a very nice hotel in a very quiet location. The staff is great, friendly and sweet, and if you stay long enough, you can get to know some of them a little bit. Everyone was very welcoming. The breakfast is quite good with plenty of options, and. It's easy to walk to some restaurants. Good Wi-Fi, and comfy bed."

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious, clean, comfortable bed. New thing for us, was everyday our and kids bed were made for night sleep. Two things was a bit annoying: water pressure in the shower wasn’t very good and the noise few nites (probably some kind water generator sound like helicopter on the roof). I want to recommend a water safari trip we booked with the company based in hotel orange T-shirt and our guide Suri. Best to go afternoon. This trip was amazing we were snorkelling with dolphins, and saw so many fish and other creatures. Staff were very helpful."

Iberostar Selection Zanzibar – All-Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Where do I even begin?! 😍✨ THE STAFF – Absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ Honestly, some of the friendliest, warmest and most welcoming people we have ever encountered! Every single one of them made our stay extra special. A big shout-out to Robin at the Front Desk for making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Gasper and Miraji, our Go-Kart champions, thank you for the endless rides and all the fun around the compound! Selemani and Andrea from Sports & Beach kept us entertained throughout our stay. Rashid, thank you for getting us moving with those fun pool dance sessions and aqua exercises – you certainly made sure we didn't just eat and relax! 😂💃 And Carlos, thank you for the fantastic Salsa lessons – we loved every minute! Finally, William at Mawe Bar, you certainly made sure our glasses were never empty! 壟 THE ROOMS – WOW! 🛏️ Super clean, beautifully maintained and those views... simply AHH-MAZING! THE FOOD – DELICIOUS! 🍽️ Let's just say we definitely came back home with a few extra pounds! 😂 The food was fantastic! A special mention to Salt & Cut Carnivorous Restaurant – an absolute MUST-TRY! And if you're looking for breathtaking beach views, Al Mar Social Lounge is the place to be! All in all, an unforgettable experience, made even more special by an incredible team who genuinely go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. We came as guests, but left feeling like family. ❤️"

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at Z2 Hotel! Staff are all so welcoming, friendly and helpful – which made Hotel Z and Z2 a standout property. You'll be greeted with warm smiles and a happy "Jambo" by everyone! Hotel Z is the main property, and Z2 is the sister property (where we stayed) right around the corner. Hotel Z2 offers the same access to the Z Hotel property including the pool and beach lounge area (pool-side service), gym, spa and access to the Z property restaurants and other beach-front resort property restaurants. Our room was not beach-front- but did include a pool view and was very quiet. The beach is very short walk around the corner through the Z Hotel. The location in Nungwi is excellent on a more quiet section of the beach, and close enough to night life and fun activities. The resort properties offers all-inclusive restaurants if you purchase that package. We had the breakfast package - which at Z2 and was pool-side right on the property and very good – egg dishes or avocado toast made the way you like + a really generous buffet spread with juices, fresh fruit, pastries and so much more. Rooms are very clean and the air conditioning is really good - a must on this tropical island. A back-up generator kept everything running well 24/7. This is a big deal on the island where rolling blackouts can occur. Security were all very welcoming and kept a close eye on the entrances but the area, and everywhere we went in Zanzibar, felt very safe regardless."
