    Wonderful small and incredibly beautiful hotel, ideal for a perfect stay.

    The location in a very picturesque area was absolutely perfect and incredible and there were small markets and a market nearby. And it's within easy walking distance of Taco Mayo, ate there once or twice...

    We got great value for our money with a clean and beautiful room right on the beach. The location was unbeatable, with amazing sunrise views from our window. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    The morning meal could have been improved with a better selection.

    I had an incredible stay at Simba Beach Zanzibar. The location right on the beach was unbeatable, and the friendly and helpful staff made me feel right at home. The rooms were clean and cozy, and I appreciated the extra amenities like beach towels and snorkeling gear. The bookshelf with borrowable books was also a nice touch. I loved spending my evenings on the hammock with a local beer, enjoying the chill vibe of the beach. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and enjoyable beach getaway.

    The location of this hotel is simply unbeatable. Being right on the beach allows for easy access and breathtaking views. The rooms themselves are clean and spacious, with attention to detail in the furnishings. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. the hotel offers basic amenities and provides fresh towels daily, ensuring a comfortable stay.

    The breakfast offered at this hotel, while decent, could be improved to provide more variety and change throughout a longer stay.

    We spent our Christmas holidays in a beach bungalow. The bungalow was spacious and the decoration was lovely. We enjoyed the daily sunrise views and the fact that we had direct access to the beach. The staff members were helpful and friendly. We were able to organize transportation at a reasonable rate with their assistance. Plus, we had a fantastic breakfast with a wide variety of food available.

    The bungalows were close to the ocean and the waves made a lot of noise, which made it difficult to sleep at night. The hotel had restrictions on the times we could use the Wi-Fi.

    Right on the sand, the location was perfect. I loved waking up to the sounds of the sea and enjoying the 3 available hammocks amongst the palm trees. the staff was friendly and the room was stylishly decorated, with many paintings by the artist Makono. the clean beach and turquoise water were breathtaking.

    The breakfast could use some improvement, specifically the quality of the juice and coffee.

    A perfect start to our trip around the island, Simba Beach in Kiwengwa was the ideal small hotel for us. It is authentically run, with a charming atmosphere and located right on the beachfront, offering breathtaking views. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Arnold who provided excellent service with a smile and great recommendations. The food was delicious, especially the local specialties. a fantastic place to stay in Zanzibar and we will definitely come back!

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    We felt so lucky to stay at this lovely beachfront hotel run by a friendly Italian couple. the location is amazing, with palm trees adding to the perfect ambiance. We enjoyed lounging on the chairs and sunbeds, and the restaurant served delicious food.

    The occasional long wait for our orders in the restaurant.
