Guest Reviews:
- "The staff is by far the best part of the hotel. They make you feel like home and try to help you with any issue you might have . Special shoutout to Jackie, Disua, and John for their support" - "Small, intimate but spacious. Great water views." - "I recently stayed with my girlfriend at Hekaya and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. This small-scale hotel is located about an hour’s drive from the airport, and the round-trip transfer (120 euros) was arranged seamlessly by the hotel. Our friendly driver was waiting for us as soon as we landed, which set the tone for an excellent stay. After a busy seven-day safari, our main goal was to relax on Zanzibar—and Hekaya proved absolutely perfect for that. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast that included eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, and fresh juices. The pool and the garden are also truly stunning, providing even more spaces to unwind and take in the island atmosphere. The hotel sits right on a beautiful beach, where you can easily walk 100 to 200 meters into the ocean at low tide and only be knee-deep in water. Nearby, there are several other hotels and restaurants that you can reach by strolling along the shore. One small thing to be aware of is that if you walk along the beach during the day, you might be approached by locals offering boat trips (for snorkeling, starfish viewing, and more). It’s understandable, though sometimes you just want a bit of quiet. Throughout our stay, we were helped by (I hope I’m spelling their names correctly) Dissua, Mohammed, and Jackline. Our room was cleaned every day, and each evening someone came by to spray it with mosquito spray. The service was truly top-notch, and all of these details combined to make it a fantastic stay. I would highly recommend Hekaya to anyone looking for a laid-back, welcoming place to enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar."

- "the staff are super stars and the location is exceptional and quiet" - "Everything is perfect." - "great location. wonderful staff. delicious food" - "Bitcoin was a slice of heaven which our family will never forget. The villa was right on the beach where you could watch the ocean all day. Staff were incredibly attentive always. The villa was cleaned daily and in a quiet part of the island. We would return in a heartbeat!" - "Everything was outstanding. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the bungalow was comfortable and spotlessly clean with an air conditioner to keep cool. The whole complex was very quiet - even when overlooking the pool area and reception we could hardly ever hear noise coming from outside. The food was just fantastic. Breakfast was tasty, just make sure to order it the night before. They even made us a breakfast box on our last morning when we left for the airport early before the kitchen opened. The lunches and dinners were delicious and very reasonably priced - all food was fresh and healthy. Beer was available and also very reasonably priced. The location is in a nice quiet village with a lovely beach and near the Rock restaurant. We would happily go back to Bitcoin Beach Hotel - it's paradise!"

- "This hotel was just perfect. 1 minute walking distance from the beach( white sand!). There is a beautiful big and deep(1,2 m-3,6m) swimming pool where I could swim in the evening as well. The staff is very helpful, they organized our trips in Pingwe( Jozan forest, starfish trip, Kuza cave, etc.)The breakfast was delicious. The interior design is five stars as well. Zanzibar is a very hot place but thanks to the air condition of the room we could sleep very well. I definitely recommend this hotel. Special thanks to Grace who was very professional and helpful! :)"
