- "The ambiance, staff, and the rooms as well. Super comfy" - "I loved this place! It's right on the beach and the views and atmosphere are incredible. Beautiful room. I really liked the furniture and design of it, lots of handcrafted touches. Stunning views of the ocean here too. Very comfortable etc Staff were helpful, lovely people. Chilled area but you can walk to Paje easily. I really liked the pool" - "My girlfriend and I wanted something authentic on the beach and this exceeded expectations. The two storey bungalow gave a special beach home feel and we loved it. John the barman was such a vibe at the beach bar and makes an incredible rum cocktail. Doesn’t get much better than a cold beer on that white sand. Thanks to all the team !"

- "A family run boutique hotel. Pia and Hashim were the perfect hosts. A warm welcome on arrival, freshly squeezed juice and a plate of the most delicious local fruit. The staff have all been at the hotel for many years and nothing is too much. The property is clean and welcoming. There are a variety of rooms. We had a downstairs en-suite. Beautiful bed linen and fresh towels everyday. Towels provided to use on the beach. Snorkels, water Shoes, hats all available to borrow. Books to read and games to play if that’s what you fancy doing. Breakfast is included and my goodness what a variety. A paradise within a paradise and we didn’t want to leave."

- "Amazing staff, Toby, Michelle, and Ali, our butler, were absolutely amazing and thoughtful" - "We stayed at Xanadu as part of our honeymoon trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. It was certainly our most luxurious accommodation, no detail is left out. Ismael who looked after us during our stay couldn’t do enough for us and really made us feel at home during our stay. The food was also incredible, definitely a highlight of our stay" - "A little piece of Paradise, some way from Stone Town, but so worth it. Fabulous jungle location with a stunning beach. Meals can be eaten wherever you want (and are lovely!). Huge beautiful rooms/villas, everything very very private, and the personal butler is just a dream, I wanted to take ours home!"

- "See comments in my other review" - "We had an incredible time at Kijani Villas in Bwejuu. Everything was perfect for our diverse group (and of different ages). Our host, Alyja, was exceptional. Her positive energy was infectious, and she went above and beyond to make our stay special. From organizing bicycle excursions to booking taxis and even arranging a doctor when one of us fell ill, Alyia was a fantastic host. We would love to return, not only for the beautiful villas and great team but also for Alyia's warm and exceptional hospitality. The grounds are stunning, featuring a beautifully designed pool and a main building that seamlessly combines local traditions and impressive engineering. They also have a great in-house shop on grounds for sustainable souvenirs. The food was really good, moreover the location of Kijani Villas is close to authentic gems like Abdi's place, where you can enjoy incredible fresh seafood. The new villas offer amazing view from the balconies and paired with the free access to the more rustic Bellevue Bungalows in the forest behind you get two very different and lovely settings for your holiday. The fantastic team look after you every need and the caring owners consider the place a part of the island, not apart from it. Our stay was truly wonderful, and I could continue praising it, but I recommend you go ahead and book. We can only hope to return someday. Thank you everyone for making our holidays so special!"

- "Absolutely everything! We are on our honeymoon travels and this is the first place we were made to actually feel honeymooners. We were welcomed to the most wonderful hotel and room with not only congratulatory wishes but also with a complimentary bottle of wine and a fruit platter. The accommodation is faultless, as are the staff service and their 5 star service, friendliness and attention to detail. George, the manager, went out of his way to get us gluten free bread and honestly every single staff member went above and beyond. Additionally, Sahari was hands down most comfortable stay. All beds we have slept on in Zanzibar have rock solid but sleeping at Sahari was an utter dream and we did not want to leave!!! We will be back without a doubt. We cannot thank you enough for the most perfect stay!"
