- "Simply put, the easiest 10/10 rating. Can’t recommend this place enough! We spent two weeks at Samawa Living for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing. I have been to hotels all over the world, but Samawa is my favorite hotel experience! Everything was just perfect. Hotel rooms were large, super nice and really well equipped (even yoga mats and beach bag). They also keep them very clean. We really enjoyed chilling on the sunbeds in a quiet pool area, working out in the gym and in yoga classes. As well as the general vibe of the place, which is in large part due to the most friendly and helpful staff I have met! I also have to mention that the a la carte breakfast was a whole other level compared to regular hotel breakfast buffets (freshly made passion fruit juice is the best juice ever!). The food in general was by far the best we had in Zanzibar. Even though we had lunch and dinner other places in Paje and Jambiani, and normally don’t eat much at hotel restaurants, we ended up eating much more at the hotel than we had planned for. Big qudos to the chefs! It is not a large and overcrowded hotel, which allows for a much more pleasant stay than big hotels or resorts. Even though it’s not located on the beach, the beach is just a very short walk (or complimentary buggy ride) away - and we enjoyed the option of hanging out at a place with more peace and quiet than right on the beach itself. While we were there, they put on live music nights, movie nights and helped us with recommendations and bookings for tours and experiences. All in all, if you are going to Zanzibar, do yourself a favor and stay at Samawa! Thank you for so much for making our honeymoon perfect! Asante sana!"

- "Location service and price." - "Beautiful boutique hotel with astonishing garden/pool area … which you have almost to yourself because it only has a few rooms. There’s direct access to the white sand beach/turquoise water and barely any tourists (which makes amazing photos) We had an amazing time with our little son (2yo). The staff (especially Alfa, Grace and Obari) was very friendly, being extra kind to our little one. And the food: absolutely delicious. The breakfast is à la carte and all of the options are very tasty. Lunch/dinner menu is equally delicious. Everything is made fresh (sometimes may take time, which did not bother us at all) and if you have special requests they always try to cater to them. They even make their own ice cream and bread. We had very relaxing days and would definitely come back!"

We booked a snorkeling tour for 20$ per person at the hotel. A local fisherman took us to some reefs in the area which was great.

- "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!"
