I had booked a room with three beds (as it was offered cheaper than a double/ twin) and thus I could use the third bed as some sort of stowage area. The room itself was spacious and feautured a double bed, a single bed, a seating area as well as a very small desk and a cupboard as well as a clothes rail and a small balcony (view into the backyard) which I had never used. The interior style of the room was "colonial" with beautiful wooden furniture, a fan and also a/c. Loved it! The internet connectivity was surprisingly good! The staff!!! Absolutely wonderful and warm-hearted people!!! They deserve a 12 out of 10!!! Whether it was Vincent or happy from the reception, the cleaning ladies, or Tukae, Regine, Mo, Nora or Abedllahi!! Everyone of them was fantastic and part of my great vacation experience!

Due to the climate conditions, the bathroom needs a bit more maintenance. Taps were corroded and needed some decalsifation. Due to government electricity cuts, I had two minor shortcomings but wouldn't

I stayed in 6 different places in Zanzibar and this was my favourite. really lovely boutique property, set on the hill with a beautiful view and breeze. short 2 min walk to the beach where they have private beach access. lots of lovely chill out zones in the property to relax. good breakfast and staff very helpful

not a complaint but supplying filtered drinking water would be good to save on plastic bottles

I recently stayed at Zan view Hotel for 5 night's, and had an outstanding experience. The room was spacious, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff, led by the director, Mr. fanck, were amazing and provided exceptional service. The breakfast was delicious, and the views of the sea and garden were breathtaking. You will pass by 2 streets head to the bar in the beach, where you feel the local life and the wonderful people who are most of them artists out of their galleries. It was an amazing experience. the swimming pool was clean and well-maintained. The hotel's location is convenient, you can walk around to visit the different beaches or the centre of the city. I'll be back for sure.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Zan View Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The food was fantastic, offering a variety of both local and international dishes complemented by great drinks. We especially loved the beach, which was the best section on the entire stretch—remarkably clear of rocks. Our honeymoon suite was not only spacious but also impeccably clean, and the hotel manager was always responsive and engaged, enhancing our experience. The view from the upstairs terrace was breathtaking, and we truly enjoyed the cozy and quiet ambiance of the hotel compared to some of the nearby larger resorts. Even during rains, the hotel offered lovely hangout spots such as the private beach, terrace, patio, pool, and the comfort of our own room. We would definitely book this hotel again.

The breakfast selection was good but somewhat limited; however, the lunch and dinner menus definitely compensated with more variety. Additionally, we encountered a minor issue with a broken showerhead, but it was fixed by the staff within minutes.

Evening Frank I just wanted to thank you and your team once again for being so accommodating, friendly and welcoming. You made us feel so welcomed and comfortable during our stay! All aspects were amazing, food was delicious! The bar ladies were brilliant and always had a smile on their face. The drivers were always on time and just as friendly. Our room was spacious and clean. Thank you for making our first trip to Zanzibar one to remember. Caitlin, Kayla and Chloe

Very relaxing and cozy hotel, with a beautiful green garden and lots of wooden furniture. We really felt at home there. The hotel staff is super friendly, as the people in general in the area. The pool is great, to the hotel beach (towels and sunbeds are included) you walk a few steps down, which is also an opportunity to meet and greet local people. My 10 year old son also liked it a lot! We plan on coming back. Besides a breakfast buffet (with coffee, tea, fresh juices and fruits, pancakes, toast, cheese, omlettes, ...) the hotel restaurant also serves very tasty lunch and dinner (a' la carte or with half board), which was good for us. They also have a kids menù.

Nothing to complain.

We stayed in Zan View hotel 4 days and we really enjoyed our stay! Territory of hotel was clean and beatiful, it has also bar and swimming pool. Our room #6, was on second floor and there is a balcony where you can enjoy beatiful sea view. All staff members were kind and friendly, good service. Good breakfast, on buffet you can find coffe/tea, fresh juice, pancakes, toasts, cakes, fruits and fresh vegetables and one breakfast meal of your choice. You can also order lunch and dinner there, but menu prices seemed too high, i believe it could be cheaper. The hotel is on a slope, and its just a couple of minutes of the beach. If you are looking for a nice and quite place in Kiwengwa, I would strongly recommend this hotel! Hakuna matata :)

- poor sound isolation. -expensive prices in restaurant. -bed size is too short and hard. -located far away from Kiwengwa city (no markets and stores around). - in low season no places around to eat, only hotel restaurant.

Hotel was exactly how I expected, pictures didn't lie. Personel was genuinely nice and friendly. Very nice beach bar with sunbeds and complimentary fresh fruit juice once a day. Breakfast was mainly local fruits and something sweet like crepes or waffles + sometimes something savoury like sandwich. Egg dishes could be ordered from menu. I was very happy that there were no extra charges for sunbeds for hotel guests, porterage or late check-out. Hotel isn't directly on the beach, but the very short walk throught the village isn't a problem. Another plus is the distance to local shop - it's like 70 meters from hotel entrance.

One thing that could be better was the way coffee was served. I was delicious cos it was from so called moka pot but there were only two pots and it meant that on some days I had to wait waaay to long for my morning coffee.

Very attractive environment with well kept gardens, beautiful flowers and a well looked after outdoor pool. Also a beach option with fantastic white sands and warm sea. Very peaceful and relaxed spot. Bed rooms were large and comfortable and the staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Good wifi.

A couple of things that were completely out of the control of the property management were some fairly hefty thunderstorms and subsequent water around the place, but the staff worked very hard to sort this out. A second consequence of our stay being mid rainy season was the number of bugs particularly around the restaurant. But, again, out of direct control and I’m sure not a problem at other times of year.

Property and facilities very good, very clean, well maintained . Staff very friendly and helpful. Small section on beach excellent. The very large beach is a wonderful place with many activities available. Good places on the property to relax and enjoy the view.

The neighboring properties are a bit run down and the short walk to the beach is also a bit unpleasant.
