very relaxed boutique hotel with only a handful of rooms and all the facilities necessary for a good beach break. pool as well was great, beach is just there and lovely white sand

Stayed in February 2024

There were power cuts island wide (not their fault) so we wish we would have brought a power bank

The location is great in a quiet area directly on the beach. They have numerous beach chairs with small shade umbrellas with the ocean a stones throw away. The staff were very friendly while also allowing us to have our privacy. We had a basic double room and the facilities were totally adequate with a desk, air conditioning, ceiling fan, ample closet space, and we were lucky to have an extra bed in our room that served as a couch. The bathroom is an open design wrapping around the back of the main room. The breakfast was ample and excellent with fresh coffee and small presses available, freshly squeezed juice, ample fruits, an egg making station, and other pastries, toasts and cereals. The lunches were fine but we really enjoyed the dinners, especially the catch of the day (which was fresh and rotated) and the seafood platter .

Poor internet and Air-conditioner outage due to low power

Sandy beaches right up to the room. Courteous and friendly staff and kudos to Ramadhan, Rose and Suileman

The property is placed right on the beach. The entire settings of the property is looking like something from a movie we absolutely loved the room, beach, bar, and pool area. On top of that the property has an amazing chef. We had most (if not all) of our meals at the property, and we didn’t try anything that was anything less than great. Even with dietary restrictions the chef managed to make everything with alternatives, without it feeling like an alternative. Talking about the staff - we have never experienced staff this helpful, friendly, and smiling. There was nothing that they couldn’t make it happen. Can only give our warmest recommendations for everyone wanting to enjoy Zanzibar.

The breakfast wasn't great - not much selection; buffet wasn't anything to write home about and instant coffee was supplied. I don't think it's a case of the kitchen quality being poor, because the À la carte (lunch and dinner) menu was a lot better.

Direct access to the beach from my room. Splendid!

Everything was perfect. It was our best stay on the Island. Rooms are comfortable, staff is very welcoming and kind, the atmosphere very relaxing. Don't hesitate to spend some time at Mchanga!

I have nothing to write.

Beautiful and quiet resort with multiple bungalows away from the village. Which are right on the beach with a lot of umbrellas. Excellent breakfast and even better time spent at dinners. The staff was very nice and very helpful. I felt safe. The whole resort was cleaned every morning, including the lovely pool. Excellent Wi-fi reception. One of the best resorts I have visited in Zanzibar.

Nothing!

Mchanga was wonderful! So many things we liked: Low key, laid back and fabulously relaxing. Friendly, attentive, approachable staff. Great chef, with nice quality meals - the daily changing 3 course dinner special was delicious! Great location right on the beach. Traditional huts, basically, but comfortably furnished. Great traditional thatched roofs. Well maintained property on the sand - regularly raked, swept and cared for. Lovely, well maintained pool Loved spending 6 days in barefeet - not essential, but easily do-able :) Great beach walks and nearby activities. Easy to do as much or little as we liked.

Amazing location, comfortable and spacious rooms, great pool. Place is at the white sandy beach, great food and super friendly staff. Place is perfect for relax, we love it!

I wish there was some music playing by the pool. Also the aircon was pointing right on the bed which made me very cold at night time.

Beach, location, the food was amazing. The staff were amazing as well.

Stayed in February 2023

The location is quite remote with not many restaurants nearby but we knew this so it did not bother us. We booked a transfer at the hotel (from the airport) but the taxi never showed up so we were forced to find an alternative at 5 am.

Mchanga is an excellent option and would recommend it to everyone looking to spend their holidays not in a crowded big hotel. We really enjoyed the quietness of the place and the beautiful beach. The pool as well was much loved by our kids :) The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Every afternoon they prepared us some afternoon snacks for free. The food is excellent! We spent there 5 nights and felt like at home. Would definitely come back!

Breakfast could have a few more options. Also bar closed before said time so we couldn't get any water to drink when we returned from dinner at another restaurant.

We really liked the whole complex. Beautiful bungalows, nice pool and bar area. Also good location to walk on the Beach to other restaurants.

Nothing. Can really recommend this hotel!

I have been a week in Mchanga Zanzibar and this hotel is truely amazing! There is this powder white and soft Zanzibar sand between your toes at the whole area giving you the beach feeling you are looking for! <3 The breakfast is really good and you may select from a broad variety of different food. Also they prepare fresh eggs of your choice and have tiny french presses for you, so you can make your own french press coffee at your table! The beach was clear and the area is really secure. I was walking around the beach every night without feeling unsave even once. The staff is also truely amazing and helpful! I forgot my GoPro in the hotel room and they managed to send it to me to Daressalam within one single day, so I could retrieve the data and had my device back for the return flight. Thanks again! When I ever come back to this place, I will book Mchanga again. :-)

People at the beach won't stop trying to sell things, and it is not recommended by locals to go around at night throughout the surroundings.

The place is simply outstanding due to the facilities, the personnel, the bar, the food, basically everything if you are looking for a very relaxed time in Zanzibar. It is very beautiful and peaceful as it is in the pictures as well as safe. Highly recommended for a chilled trip, and it was an extremely positive experience to us.

Shower water was extremely hot and a bit fiddly to regulate the flow to get a comfortable flow and temperature. Could do with some shelving/additional cupboard space.

A good sized clean and comfortable room. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Decent breakfast with sufficient choice. This is a quiet location but there are some local bars restaurants within 20 mins walk along the beach.
