I was upgraded to a bigger room and I had my own outside seating area. Excellent and plenty of choices of food for breakfast. The restaurant also served delicious lunch and dinner. The location was safe and quiet. Security on property. Friendly owners and staff. The back up generator really helped when the whole Zanzibar lost power for several hours.

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true.
As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!
As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!
Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way.
To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.
Featuring a terrace with Indian Ocean views, set by sandy Kiwengwa Beach, the 30-acre site includes a spa, pool and sports facilities.

We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

Roberta the hotel manager was amazing. she is super nice and we had great conversations with her. the two dogs at the property were the cutest little creatures. very nice garden to chill and relax away from the very busy beach. it is a little oasis.
rooms are very new, beautifully designed and the AC and internet are working great. the rooms are a short walk to the restaurant and the beach. the restaurant is beautiful and there are several sun beds to chill. overall the staff was very friendly.
The attention to detail at this boutique hotel was amazing. Everything is very nicely done, with local décor and furniture that adds the local feel to your stay. Food in the evening and at the pool was great and felt like fine-dinning experience. Portions are not big, bit if you go with full set (soup, starter, main, dessert) then it is more than enough even for a big eaters. Pool and the views were fantastic! Greetings to Charles at he pool bar and a shout out to Latvian/British/Finish GM! :)
Location is fantastic with direct access to the beach, the staff was amazing, I felt being part of a family and not staying in a hotel. They had an answer to all of my requirements, extremely kind, helpful, supportive and patient. Good fun and conversations. Food at the hotel restaurant is excellent, some of the best dishes I tried in Zanzibar.
I can’t wait to be back in this location and enjoy everything once again.
Thank you for making my holiday in Zanzibar simply unforgettable.

everything was more than perfect! the staff, the food varieties, the breakfast was super, Nestroy the F&B manager was the highlight of our stay , super nice and fun to be around, he made sure everything we wish for is there for us.
the room was spacious and super clean, the activities at night were much so fun.
the front desk team and the hotel management are so considerate and keen to make every single guest happy!
thank you for making our vacation a dreamy one ❤️
Unlike most other resorts this one is right on the beach, there is no barrier between you and the ocean. And since it’s a small place the beach vendors (who are everywhere on every beach in Zanzibar) tend to focus on the beach stretches of the bigger resorts. This is a huge advantage.
Food is great, staff is friendly and welcoming.
Walking up and down the beach it was super evident that this is the best place for kilometers both up and down the beach.
it was small & beautiful, decorated in Zanzibari style, clean & great air conditioning! It’s on the east side of the island, much quieter & secluded than Stone Town. the staff was wonderful & respected our privacy. The food was excellent—- Italian chef cooked great dishes ( I wish he wouldn’t have yelled at his staff so much!)
They were helpful with taxis & excursions. We have no complaints at all & really enjoyed our time there, we also felt very safe!
My wife and I stayed at this hotel in August 2023. We enjoyed almost everything, except for the tides, but they're pretty much everywhere except the busy beaches of Zanzibar, which we didn't want to go to. About the hotel: it's secluded, peaceful, with stunning nature and sunrises. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is attentive, and the restaurant serves delicious food. Funny nocturnal creatures similar to lemurs also visited the restaurant.
Perfect Start for our Trip around the island. small Hotel, authentically runned in Perfect Spot directly by the Beach. staff is very friendly and Helpful but without being pushy.
Special thanks to Arnold for his excellent service. Always having a smile for all of the guests and helping with his straight tips.
Food was delicious - we Recommend trying the local specialities.
If we travel to zanzibar again, we will Come back!
Velue for money for sure!
The staff is amazing and always helpful and thoughtfull. Ive never had such good care in no other western hotel. This is a true jam.
Special thanks for receptionist Dida! Such welcoming, always smiling and gives her 120% at all times.
Thank you kitchen team, bar team, house keeping and just everyone.
Will definitely come back to this place, full of great energy and love.
My holiday was incredible. Nice pool bar one dive one shot. Rooms are astounding and amazing, Staffs are friendly and loyal. The massage at the beach side woooooow such an exquisite relaxation. The hotel food with the garnish on every meal made me to eat repeatedly just to enjoy the meals, in general the hotel deserves *****. I can't wait my next holiday
very nice staff in the hotel and an exceptional host which helps you with every question or problem! fresh friuts of their own garden. the chef cook is open for wishes like special zanzibar dinner. a very nice, clean and quiet place to chill after a kite surfing or tour day without screaming kids.
