- "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!"

- "Shamba Village provided us with the peace and tranquility we needed. It is secluded, yet within easy reach of hustle and bustle of the main street. Our self-contained room had everything we needed, much-needed AC and a fan. There are two swimming pools so whenever the heat became overpowering for us to walk to the beach, we were spoilt for choice, and could relax in either of the pools. Overall, we had a fantastic time and were well-looked after by Sarafina's team. A big shout-out to Lena, who served us with a smile throughout. Can't recommend enough."

- "Everything!" - "Location right on the beach is perfect for breakfast, lunch, cocktails & dinner as well as sunbathing. The room was spacious with a private balcony. Staff are super helpful and friendly." - "Nearly everything was amazing. The location is perfect, and we even had an ocean view from the room. The breakfast was just incredible - vast variety (actual breakfast menu), massive portions (we were stuffed every morning), during our stay we tried almost everything on the breakfast menu and loved everything! Breakfast was also at a very reasonable time (8:00 - 11:30). The whole staff was super friendly and helpful, Omar always greeted us with the biggest smile. The room was air-conditioned, with daylight lamps, the water pressure was good and the water itself seemed clean. There were 3 bottles of drinking water in our room daily. The pool was clean and cool and offered a great break from the heat. The location is right next to the souvenir market, as well as, multiple great restaurants. There were DJs playing nearby almost every night, so lots of action too. Oh, and there were dogs, multiple cute and friendly dogs around. Every day coming back to the room felt like coming home."
