"What a gem! We absolutely loved our stay at the Passion Boutique Hotel. Madalina (hotel manager) and all the staff are so welcoming and hospitable. I cut my foot out in the ocean on some coral and Madaline immediately took action and got me antibacterial creams. We also got pretty badly sunburnt and she provided us with a freshly cut, cold aloe. We cant express how wonderful the entire team is at Passion Boutique Hotel. The food was fantastic, breakfast was amazing every morning. We highly recommend booking here!"

"We planned to stay at Blue Moon Resort for three nights but loved it so much that we extended our stay. The staff were friendly, hardworking, and welcoming. Check-in was simple, and we got a tour before heading to our private pool room, which was clean, spacious, and quiet. The pool was surrounded by large palm trees, making it incredibly relaxing to float and watch them sway. The room had a minibar, Netflix, and an Alexa station, and housekeeping cleaned it daily. A couple of minor issues: the wardrobe only had four hangers, which wasn’t enough, and the shower temperature fluctuated between hot and cold every 30 seconds. The restaurant overlooked the sea and served great food. I had local traditional meals, and one night, a BBQ buffet with live music created a lively atmosphere. Breakfast was à la carte, and the vegetarian option was excellent, with fresh avocado, stir-fried vegetables, and pineapple juice. The grounds were well-maintained and peaceful. We loved relaxing on the jetty and swimming in the warm, calm sea. The beach was rocky, but we visited a Maasai shop nearby. Bring cash (USD), as the card machine had issues. My wife had a reasonably priced full-body massage. The dogs and cats were tame, but a monkey on a lead seemed unfairly restricted. "

"I’ll recommend this place to anyone traveling to Zanzibar. Only suggestion is, the sea view suites look too old. They need to be renovated or upgraded."

"I was looking for a chill, boutique style hotel to relax, S&S was a great choice. Great and attentive staff, nice & clean rooms. The pool is pretty basic. Would be nice if it were bigger. "

"Beautiful hotel, wonderful people and great experience."

"I love the swimming pool. Beautiful rooms."

"This small hotel is beautiful. The rooms are wonderful and very well stocked with all you need. The staff are very helpful and all spoke very good English. The food was amazing and very tasty, good selection of veggie stuff for the wife too. Overall just a great stay."

"What a luxury to step out of our room onto a soft, white sand beach. Between our room, the water and neighbouring restaurants, we never needed to leave the beach! The rooms are simple, but clean and the bed was comfortable. The bungalows are lovely with a laid-back vibe, a beautiful garden and lots of shade trees. Restaurants are close by and the wood-fired pizza shop, literally steps from our door, made delicious pizza. What really made our visit was the staff – They are the best! Everyone is welcoming, friendly and always ready to assist. We liked that it was an ‘public' beach as described in the listing. Kids and families from the village played in the water, there was a nightly football game on the beach, and photogenic fishing boats and dhows bobbed in the water. Honest review – expect local guides, souvenir sellers, etc. to approach you on the beach. Fortunately, they are mostly easy going and it can be fun just to talk to them. The bungalows are closely clustered around the bar/lounge area. It is low-keyed, everyone is there just to chill, and all is quiet even before 10. Overall, this is an excellent value in a truly special location."

"Accommodation was a bit rustic but the customer service was exemplary. Friendly and endlessly helpful the staff at the White Sands Bungalows enhanced my Zanzibar experience!"
