"Quite far to get to from Stonetown but a stunning location. It’s boutique hotel so not the facilities of a mega resort but the local friendly staff arranged a couple of excellent things for me and I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. Great food too with sea views. I also enjoyed a massaged in a small hut by the sea so could hear the surf. "
"Great place to stay, the staff always help you with everything. The food is not amazing but is not bad. The only proble is the access to the property, there is no signs and it was really difficult to find the place."
"Wonderful experience. The house is stunning and the room is comfortable and very clean.
The pool is incredible.
When high tide, we could just jump in the ocean right down the house
The staff is very friendly and polite. The Chef makes the best burgers ever.
The house is quiet but only 10 minutes away from all restaurants and bars from Nungwi
A very good combination of hideaway.
We highly recommend this Villa"
"Had a great experience during my stay. Wilson was great and helped us a lot! Beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the region!"
"Excellent beachfront property. Great beach that is not crowded. Can safely enjoy the property and beach area. We had friends visit us for lunch one day, they were staying at other resorts and were impressed with our site. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend the site and would definitely return. "
"Amazing property. Secluded, with incredible views. With only 17 bungalows, if you want privacy and tranquility this is your place. The food is delicious, the staff accommodating (the dining staff extended lunch time by an hour just to accommodate us). Eclectically cool decor. Affordable luxury... highly recommend"
"Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast as expected, nothing fancy but nice. Great rooms with Daily moskito hindering. Nice size. Great and nice, but rather small pool.
In the end the hotel lived up to our expectations."
"Stop searching for anothers places to stay, Opera Hotel was our most pleasant stay ever: very good restaurant, extremely clean, outstanding service and comfort! With 2 swimming pools also. Just5 to 10 minutes walking to the nicest beaches in Zanzibar!"
"Beautiful hotel. The staff is the best part. The barefoot concept is great. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet getaway this is the one. The ocean is not very accessible as it is mainly coral so keep that in mind when booking- you will most likely be 99% in the pool not the ocean."
"Property is nice, but the area is not the best in Zanzibar. Beach is right where a working fishing village is located. Not very private at all!
Property is nice, grounds are ok. Overall upkeep of the property is below expectations. We switched villas and the second one was better, but not in pristine condition.
Villa layout is awkward. Bathroom is separate from the room structure and with a very peculiar design, offering very little privacy.
Pricing is outrageous, at more then $1,000 a...
"I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area.
I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely.
At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled...
"We stayed 2 nights in Sunshine Bay Hotel. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly attentive and welcoming, ensuring that we felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. Every request was met with a smile, and they went above and beyond to make our experience seamless.

"The property was beautiful! Our room was perfect. Every single person on staff we interacted with was simply amazing! The food was great. We enjoyed the restaurant manager Ashook and also enjoyed meeting the general manager.
Thank you for a great stay! We would highly recommend your resort to others!

The hotel facilities were top-notch—everything was pristine and designed with comfort in mind. The room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and offered every amenity I could need. The attention to detail in both the public spaces and private rooms truly stood out.
Whether it was enjoying a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant, relaxing by the pool, or simply taking in the stunning views from the beach, every aspect of the hotel exceeded our expectations. I left feeling fully relaxed and refreshed and can't wait for my next visit!"
"We really looked forward to staying at the Zanzibar Queen given other reviews. It didnt disappoint. Fantastic location in beautifully kept grounds. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The pool area was clean and enticing. There was also boules, volleyball and badminton available to keep the body exercised. As well as table tennis and darts. The restaurant was superb. Ingredients and dishes were varied and akin to fine dining. Resort felt very private although effectively right on the beach. Rooms well decorated, hot showers and balconies facing the stunning indian ocean. A top recommendation and thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well."
