We really liked the hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and nicely furnished. Everything was in place and worked perfectly – air conditioning, water, and Wi-Fi.The staff was really helpful - you can see that they care. The food in the restaurant was tasty, with portions just right. The beach is wide and clean – perfect for walks and relaxing. The area is quiet, ideal for unwinding. If you're looking for a nice place to relax, it's definitely worth coming here!

We absolutely loved the place and the hosts, Tomasz and Maggie, who welcomed us wholeheartedly and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. Since we traveled during the low season, we were kindly offered an upgrade to the Ocean Room — and we loved it! We only left the property once, for a snorkeling tour, because everything we needed was right there. The food at the restaurant was excellent, and we chose to dine in every night.

We had an amazing honeymoon at Mambo Paradise in Zanzibar. The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. The peaceful environment was perfect for relaxing, and they organized day trips and taxi pickups effortlessly. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional hospitality and a memorable stay!

Staying at Alladin was an unforgettable experience. What truly made this place stand out was the incredible staff. Khamis, Benito, Faraja, Mona, and the rest of the team made me feel like part of their family. Their warmth, kindness, and constant willingness to help turned this hotel into my home on Zanzibar. I stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every moment—relaxing by the pool, swimming in the sea (which was especially amazing from 3 PM onwards when it felt like a natural hot tub!), and simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. As a solo traveler, I always felt that someone from the hotel was looking out for me, which made my stay even more special. The rooms are perfect. The food was absolutely delicious! I ate at the restaurant almost every day, and there were plenty of great vegetarian options. Beyond the hotel itself, they took such great care of me when organizing excursions. Everything was arranged flawlessly—packed breakfasts, reliable taxis, excellent guides—it made exploring Zanzibar so easy and stress-free. This is the perfect place to feel at home in Zanzibar. The only downside? You won’t want to leave!

We loved everything during our stay. Especially our 2,5 years old son Adam was so happy there. Very kind, better say friendly employees and the manager too. All of them still smiling, helpfull and villing to make our wishes come true. Truly cozy room and the whole resort. A huge portions of food that was always soooo delicius. It's gonna be extremely demanding for local management and staff to do additional improvements of any kind 😏👍.

What a fantastic place! Zanziblue was the most underrated spot we visited in Zanzibar. We stayed at four different hotels in the same or higher price range, one of which was about twice the cost and less than 10 minutes away by car. Still, Zanziblue was definitely the perfect choice for us, especially when it came to high-quality food. As a VEGAN, I was impressed that the kitchen could create vegan options comparable to those in high-quality Western restaurants. This is significant, considering the challenges and limitations on the island. Big kudos to the Swedish chef and co-owner, who truly succeeded in crafting this experience. The highlight was definitely the vegan cheese made from cashew nuts. The menu is primarily non-vegan, I'm confident that non-vegan guests would also be impressed. It was the small details that made us feel so welcomed. The staff respected us, and the hotel management clearly understands how to run a place like this by leading their local team by example. The service was exceptional. They not only listened to their guests but went above and beyond. For instance, they surprised us with a celebration for an unannounced birthday. Another highlight was the beach tour offered with local guides from the village. We were finally able to connect with locals on a personal level, without feeling pressured to buy anything, allowing us to explore the region sustainably and learn about local life. All in all, I wish we had discovered this place earlier so we could have stayed a longer period of time.

    Right on the beach, wonderful little place right next to the One Ocean dive centre. Stayed in the annex right next to the second pool, like our own private oasis. Very helpful staff and good food. The beach is wonderful for walks. Very peaceful and with the added bonus of live music or DJ most nights. Wonderful memories.
