Summary: I don’t think there’s a better place to stay in Pingwe. This place has the most dreamy views you’ll ever experience in Zanzibar. The staff is impeccable! The bed and breakfast was just perfect. Honestly, everything in me wants to gate keep this place! I’d also want to share more but I also don’t want to give away too much to maintain the pleasant element of surprise. Please, trust your gut like I did and book. Best decision I’ve ever made on a hotel.

Summary: The property is very quiet and located right on the beach. Beautiful views and friendly and accomodating staff. The breakfast is wonderful and delicious.
Only downside to this property is that there is not 24/7 staff at the front desk and obtaining extra bottled drinking water from the hotel is not easy. Overall would highly recommend.

Summary: For our 2 night stay Pictures did not show the extreme tightness of the standard room. Also upon late check in there were no accommodations for the lack of running shower water. I truly appreciated the upgrade to a triple room however the shower head in the upgraded room also needed to be changed for water flow. There were spider webs on the side of bed frame which shows a lack of thorough cleaning. The space for triple should be standard. However Salma and the staff on site were of great help. Thank you.

Summary: I booked on short notice and was very happy about my choice. I had a heartly welcome and the staff was super friendly and helpfull with every request I had. Very nice room and balkony with ocean view. They even bring breakfast directly to your balcony in the moning as soon as you get uo and sit outside. Highly recommended.
The only negative thing I recogniced was the amount of plastic trash along the entire beach as well as on the Island in general. This of course has nothing to do with the hotel, and they actually try to incentivice people to leave no trash at the beach and even offer free beers for people who collect trash and bring it back to the hotel for proper disposal.

Summary: It’s a lovely spot in a quieter/less built up area of the island. There are options for restaurants nearby (including The Rock restaurant, only a couple minutes walk down the beach) although not as many as some of the more developed areas.
The hotel itself is lovely and clean. A nice breakfast is served right on your balcony which has amazing views of the water. No issues with the wi-fi. The staff were very welcoming. There is no A/C; we were a bit warm with the fan windows open but not unbearably so.
I wish we had had an extra night or two to stay; would definitely come again!

Summary: It was okay and affordable ….i didn’t like the fact that if you wanted a new towel and was going to be charged for it …isn’t changing towels a part of hotel stay and cleaning? We had to reuse one towel from day 1 to the end of our stay. Also they charged me city taxes at the end of my stay which made me confused because I paid taxes online with my booking so why do I get charged taxes after my stay?
