We had a fantastic stay (5 nights) at Lala Land Lodge. Frida and Ben are the lovely, super friendly and chilled couple who run this small family eco-lodge located in beautiful surroundings right in front of the sea. The staff is ultra nice and helpful. We especially loved Hawa with her beautiful energy and professionalism. She is pure sunshine. It is a place that is especially suited for those who seek peace and tranquility as it is a bit secluded. We had delicious and very nutritious breakfasts included with our stay and the rest of the food is excellent and the portions generous. The pool is a mix of salt water and fresh water which we found way better than chlorine pools. Note that for the showers and sink it’s the same. But you are provided with buckets of fresh water to rinse. Basically, we highly recommend Kizimkazi and Lala Land Lodge.

The staff and the owner are all so accommodating. It's vibrant and so beautiful the surrounding areas with trees, bushes, fruit plants and a great swimming pool.
The rooms were gorgeous and suited everyone in our groups needs. Myself and Alex in a double.room with a private shower room and toilet.
Our friends were in the backpackers area which was also really good and had curtains.yo.sectopm off the sleeping areas for privacy and a shared bathroom/ shower room.
It's not slap in the middle of a busy section of the island so it's lovely and quiet at night. They provide breakfast with your stay and the food we had.from their restaurant was delicious..
Would recommend for family's and couples. 🥰

A beautiful beach front lodge in the fishing village of Kizimkazi. Perfect for a quiet getaway. The staff are very helpful and go out of their way to make you comfortable. For its remote location the facilities such as food, accomodation, internet and hot water in the shower were surprisingly good.

Outstanding hosts at Mandarin, feels just like home! We had a pleasant 2-nights stay and it was total relaxation for us. The ambience was great, very clean, all the staff were great, Chef Amir made the best of dishes (breakfast was also top notch) and extra stars for the GM Mr. Hany! There are different activities at Mandarin but unfortunately, we were only there to basically eat, sleep and enjoy the beach though I am sure they would be just as great. If you are looking for a great affordable place in Zanzibar then Mandarin Resort it is!

This place has an amazing ambient and a beautiful soul! It was like a hub for the coolest people from every country, looking for a peaceful, extremely relaxed vacation in a bit of wilderness, heartfelt conversations with alcohol next to the fire… it’s all in the package, and as a bonus you get one of the best teams - owners and staff members that are right there for you literally every minute.
Thank you all guys- Benjamin, Annick, Cliffton, Melania, Elisabeth and others whose names we did not get to know;) You were all so amazing that even after two weeks it was a pity to leave. We look forward to meeting you all again!
PS. A big thanks to Cliffton for recommending us Malaika, We enjoyed it to the fullest ;-)

It’s a very quiet and enjoyable place and you can book lots of activities from there but overall there is not much going outside the hotels. The public beach doesn’t have any good restaurants or shops so you’re pretty much tied to your resort.

The location is more quiet then other places, they do not have a beach like Kendwa but it you are just looking to relax a couple of days this does not matter. It is like on a little cliff, sooo nice!

Kizimkazi is a village, although in fact there are 2 distinct and separate areas, with 2 beaches. The rest of the area is comprised of large, private self-contained resorts with their own private stairways.
There is not much to explore, but boat owners offer big-game fishing and dolphin-watching.
There are only 2 restaurants, although some of the private resorts offer their restaurants to the public; but at a price.
Hardly any touting which is nice;
3 or 4 days is probably sufficient to see all there is to see.

Place was very clean, food was nice and staff were very friendly, always available to assist
They also organized transport for us to travel around
Pete(Rasta man) was very friendly and he gave me some plants to bring to South Africa, I have them in my garden now
Morning shower was terrible, water was always cold and it seemed like their geyser or boiler was faulty
the staff is very very cool and friendly, you feel at home😃
the owners are super chilled, its always a pleasure to sit and talk to them about everything and nothing
they ll also give you nice tips for Kizimkazi ✌️
the place is lovely a also colourful at night, its pretty nice
the swimming pool is quite big and clean
the food is great too, go for the tuna wrap and chocolate mousse with the passion sauce
breakfast is also great and filling with the fruits, juice, crêpe and chapati
Amazing staff great location and lot of activities to be done at the hotel. Beautiful property as well. Easy access to private beach and great sunset view . It was our anniversary and they organised romantic dinner around the beach which was extraordinary. Food is amazing even for vegetarian or vegan. They have turtle nursery and Masai village experience for free, so don’t have to pay to experience it outside.
The location is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant served a delicious meal for us, I would recommend the fish with rice. The hotel dog was a cutey pie and friendly with adults and children and mainly minded his own business so it's OK if ur not a dog lover. Once you go out the hotel, the atmosphere does change, and u see more of the local life so be prepared for the massive change in scenery.
The Hotel itself is really beautiful, a tiny place but we really loved it. The Beach is not as long as at the North side for example but still possible for a short walk and the water is clear. And the hotel is perfectly locatated for an amazing sunset. We really enjoyed watching it every single day. The Breakfast and Dinner was very tasty. We really liked and they also had several options.
We LOVED kizikula! The food was outstanding, the views were incredible, and the staff were all warm and welcoming. The architecture of the space is stunning - the way it plays off the surrounding beauty is breathtaking. I absolutely recommend kizikula for anyone traveling to Zanzibar. It is a hidden paradise. If you are into yoga the sunset yoga is PHENOMENAL.
The room was very spacious and had two double beds in it as well as a ventilator. The owner is really nice and can provide you with a lot of information about activities not just for Kizimkazi but for stone town as well. The breakfast was exquisite with a fruit platter and lots of different food for you to try
We booked the luxury Villa, the villa is amazing and our private butler Ramadhan was just exceptional, he made sure everything went smoothly and always available and responsive. It's a beautiful hotel.with amazing staff and facilities
The hotel facilities are very nice, especially the villas. We got a villa with a totally private pool but quite near to the main areas of the resort. The resort is quite big and there are bikes available to get aroud.
Beach was nice to explore with kids. There's lot of crabs and other stuff , especially in the evening. So torch and surf shoes is highly recommended. During high tide you can swim. Nice view and garden.
from the service to the food to the location everything was complete perfection! I highly recommend anyone visit in Zanzibar to check out the residence! You will not be disappointed!!!!
Perfect place to relax, amazing pool as the hotel is set above the beach on coral cliff, cool and unique room designs, food was delicious and staff friendly and fun
The hotel is really nice and the view is amazing , the staff are really polite and friendly. We loved the pool and the beautiful view to the pool and ocean.
