Gästrecension: Simply put, the easiest 10/10 rating. Can’t recommend this place enough! We spent two weeks at Samawa Living for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing. I have been to hotels all over the world, but Samawa is my favorite hotel experience! Everything was just perfect. Hotel rooms were large, super nice and really well equipped (even yoga mats and beach bag). They also keep them very clean. We really enjoyed chilling on the sunbeds in a quiet pool area, working out in the gym and in yoga classes. As well as the general vibe of the place, which is in large part due to the most friendly and helpful staff I have met! I also have to mention that the a la carte breakfast was a whole other level compared to regular hotel breakfast buffets (freshly made passion fruit juice is the best juice ever!). The food in general was by far the best we had in Zanzibar. Even though we had lunch and dinner other places in Paje and Jambiani, and normally don’t eat much at hotel restaurants, we ended up eating much more at the hotel than we had planned for. Big qudos to the chefs! It is not a large and overcrowded hotel, which allows for a much more pleasant stay than big hotels or resorts. Even though it’s not located on the beach, the beach is just a very short walk (or complimentary buggy ride) away - and we enjoyed the option of hanging out at a place with more peace and quiet than right on the beach itself. While we were there, they put on live music nights, movie nights and helped us with recommendations and bookings for tours and experiences. All in all, if you are going to Zanzibar, do yourself a favor and stay at Samawa! Thank you for so much for making our honeymoon perfect! Asante sana!

Gästrecension: Amazing accommodation. Great facilities but the food is the hero. Unbelievable.

Gästrecension: From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I was cared for exceptionally by Sarah and her staff. They couldn’t have been kinder to me, I felt incredibly sad to leave. The breakfast is so wonderfully presented and tastes amazing, everything I ate during my week stay was delicious. Zen is a very special place and I can’t wait to come back and see my Zen family.

Gästrecension: Excellent staff, rooms are well designed and super clean. Lovely garden Super restaurant. Breakfast is highly qualitative with fresh fruits, good coffee and all what you need to start the day. Located in front a wonderful beach, I do recommend this hotel for chilling and enjoy the best of Zanzibar experience
