Génial!
Le séjour était super! Le personnel était chaleureux, attachant et professionnel! Le repas excellent! Nous sommes parties de là satisfaites avec nostalgie. La seule chose que nous avons regretté c’est de ne pas être restées plus longtemps. Nous recommandons et nous reviendrons très sûrement. Kadia et Asta.

Amazing stay!
Our stay at Zan View was amazing! We had decided to take a few days in Zanzibar after our busy week safari and I came across this hotel. The staff are wonderful and super friendly. They always greet you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble for them. The management team are also so so nice! We were shown around the hotel and how to access the beach bar when we arrived which I’ve never really experienced before and it was so lovely and welcoming. They also plan events you can take part in on the evenings such as bingo night, food specials, uno tournament etc. The hotel itself has a small pool and restaurant area, with an upstairs mezzanine overlooking the village and beach. To access the beach you walk through a small local village (no more than 5mins) which is a lovely way to interact with the locals. You pass by 2 small craft shops and I highly recommend having a chat with the men who own them and encourage you to buy something! They are wonderful friendly and trustworthy gents. The beach bar is also great! The food from both restaurants was really good! I especially liked the Spag Bol! The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Air con is a must in zanzibar! And all the rooms have this and a fan. The beds are huge and have mosquito nets (also a must!) The showers are fine, I don’t think you will find super great showers in Tanzania anyway!. Overall this hotel is great! And good value for money too! Would highly recommend staying here!

E' un hotel che rispecchia le caratteristiche locali e ben diverso dalle strutture dei grandi villaggi. Piccolo, accogliente, pulito, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per la ristorazione, soprattutto quello sulla spiaggia. Se devo fare un appunto, arricchirei la colazione.

Nothing is good. Photos are very misleading. No direct access to the beach. you have to walk through the local village to reach the beach.

We had an unforgettable stay in Zan View hotel. It was super located with a fantastic beach right in sight. The staff was extremely helpful, cordial and courteous. Also the day trips organized by the hotel were very nice. Many thanks to all who made our holiday so wonderful.

I booked through Expedia.ca which said that it was on the ocean and steps from the beach.... the hotel itself is actually up a hill and on the opposite side of a village from the beach. The property did not match the description that I had booked under from the .ca website (though it appears other countries have a better description). The staff were VERY kind, and the hotel is great... I had just booked it in order to be ON the ocean and STEPS from the beach.

Rustig hotel met vriendelijke sfeer
Zeer prettig team die je zeer welkom laat voelen. Het is een klein hotel en erg rustig gelegen. De bedden zíjn wat aan de korte kant voor iemand van boven de 1 meter 90 en uit de kraan en douche komt zoutig water. Het hotel ligt vlakbij maar niet aan het strand.

8/10 Very good

酒店在桑岛的北部,离海边走路三四分钟,价格相对周边的酒店要实惠,刚到酒店管理人员送上鲜榨饮料,很好喝,客房很宽敞,床很舒服,但是不知道是因为我们是中国人,还是因为我的英语不太好,离店结账的对账单上把别人用餐的费用加到了我们的账单上,并且早餐给我上的鲜榨饮料是加水的,与后来来吃饭的其他国家的游客喝的鲜榨饮料在颜色上就能看出来是不一样的(早餐喝的鲜榨饮料是固定的,酒店提供的,不是随便点的),我在这里只针对一些服务人员,管理人员还是不错的

Buona struttura a Kiwengwa
Buona struttura, ben curata, avevamo prenotato una camera doppia, al nostro arrivo ci hanno assegnato una camera enorme con due letti matrimoniali e letto singolo. Buoni servizi, ottima la ristorazione, prezzi non economici per zanzibar, ma onesti per gli standard europei, cena con due hamburger e patatine, pasta ai frutti di mare, gamberi con aglio e tartara di tonno e avocado, acqua grande, 55 dollari in due. A brevissima distanza dalla spiaggia di Kiwengwa. Consigliato!

Trevligt mindre hotell.
Bodde fem nätter i februari.Hotellet har en restaurang som serverar bra mat.Poolen är inte så stor ( ser större ut på bilden främre poolen i förgrunden är en liten barnpool) Vid avtagsvägen ner till hotellet finns en liten ” butik” som säljer frukt och dricka även öl. Om man badar när det är högvatten behövs inte några strandskor. Fin balkong med havsutsikt där man kan inta kvällsdrinken.Bra personal. Ner till stranden går man genom en lokal by.Vill man ge en liten flaska vatten till barnen är det mycket uppskattat.

Hotel in buona posizione, basta 2min x attraversare il villaggio e sei davanti al mare....il personale molto gentile, il padrone di casa sempre disponibile per aiutarti ad organizzare le gite, sono rimasta delusa della stanza anche se vedevo parzialmente il mare ma eravamo in 3 e la stanza un po' piccola ma nel rapporto qualità/prezzo ci può stare.

Hôtel sympa mais hélas pas de plage privée pour pouvoir venir s'y allonger et admirer les paysages ! Aussi, peu satisfaite de mon séjour car tous les jours , panne d'eau et d'électricité pendant pas mal d'heures ! Douches impossibles , climatisation arrêtée .... des déboires qui ont quelque peu gâché mon séjour . Aussi pas de coffre fort dans la chambre . Toutefois personnel charmant et toujours souriant .
