Overall Ratings & Reviews Zan View Hotel

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!

A really lovely small hotel,with a beautiful pool.

A very nice tiny place away from all the big complexes of club facilities in the surrounding area

Best hotel in zanzibar by far

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.

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.

Very nice hotel, room clean and comfy, staff awesome, restaurant food outstanding, but you should buy your alcohol and buy taxi service elsewhere because they overcharge everything on the spot. Also, bring USD because they don't take shillings (or they change it to a disadvantageous rate).

The family room was spacious and clean. Wifi was very good. The staff friendly and helpful. The hotel is very small and the restsutant and breakfast are not good. Must go through steep stairs and a "village" to get to beach. This allows the locals to harrass you to buy stuff or make you feel unconfortable. It is probably ok to stay for a few days but no more.

Just be careful when ordering at the restaurant it took a long time to be served but food was good

You pay in advance, then you discover your jail cell. It is small, dirty, in bad condition, the light and furniture are depressing, the windows are facing walls. But moreover, there's no phonic insulation at all, and our bed was 3 metres away from the reception desk, only separated by a door with space around and a keyhole you can watch through. Also, the "resort" is located in some kind of ghost village. If you want to find a shop, bar, or restaurant you have to work one or two kilometers, so that the hotel can sell you everything at 4 to 10 times the actual price (water, food etc). When we said we didn't like the place we have been proposed a bigger room, in an even poorer condition. We didn't want to stay and we have never been refunded the 6 nights we paid. This place could be considered an acceptable"backpacker" solution if it was 10/15 USD per night, although two far from real life. We stayed in six different places in Zanzibar, all of them were cheaper than this one and definitely nice. We were just trapped. We lost our time, money and good mood there.

Excellent accommodations .we would definitely return .

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.

Excellent séjour, l’équipe est vraiment au petit soin. Une ambiance chaleureuse, super accueil, traitement VIP pour tous sans exception. Un vrai coin de paradis. Un grand merci à l’ensemble de l’équipe

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.

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.

Lækkert sted God service Venlig personale God mad

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.
