I don't have enough words to describe how kind the host and staff were. They were always helpful and there when we needed them. One day when we were going on an early morning excursion, they came out to meet us and prepared us a takeaway breakfast, even though it was 6:30am. It was a lovely gesture and a big thank them! The hotel has a beautiful garden and each room has its own terrace in front of the door. Room and bathroom are big and have enough space. Hotel is located 10 minutes walk from the most beautiful beach of Kendwa. Our room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed. Also, the hotel has its own night watchman, so you can feel safe and sleep peacefully. I have only one advice for them. It wolud be nice if they included another option in the breakfast offer besides eggs, because its too much to eat eggs 10 days in a row. Overall, we are very satisfied with the accommodation and would recommend it to everyone as it will feel like home.

We had an amazing stay at Kendwa Rocks Hotel and loved everything about it! Positives: 1. The location and beach are breathtaking, and the option to enjoy services at the beach beds is a great touch. 2. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile. 3. There are plenty of activities to choose from, making the stay fun and engaging. 4. We stayed in two suites, both of which were fantastic—well-equipped and very comfortable. 5. The entire property felt safe, which added to our peace of mind. 6. Even the shisha team was friendly and added to the relaxed vibe.

Everything was perfect. Hotel nice and clean. The food was delicious, and drinks well prepared. However, the staff at the hotel are beyond perfection. The care of preparing your bed while you are having a delicious dinner before you go to sleep, the smile of all the staff every single day, asking how was your night, if you had a great day. They are the cherry on the top of the hotel! Wonderful!

Very nice little hotel with a short 5–10 min walk from the beach. The view was amazing, especially from the top floor where they have their restaurant. The breakfast was generous and the restaurant works even in the evening with decent food. The stuff was very polite and always smiling and helpful . The rooms have air condition which is a plus. Try to ask for a room on the higher floor if you want to enjoy the views.

Above all, I loved the staff. They were always smiling, friendly and kind. They work quite long hours but whatever time they always go above and beyond to help. My flight actually got delayed quite a bit, I ended up checking in past 11pm which the hotel accommodated for fuss-free. I also left my luggage after check out time and explored the beach. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING. It’s served on the rooftop with view of the gorgeous ocean. It’s a huge buffet with so many options- fruits, yoghurt, beans, pastries, toasts, all the jams, eggs. With the buffet you get the option of juices. And it’s different every morning. See photos- all are from the hotel. There’s a lounge area and restaurant within the hotel complex that goes onto the beach so you can dine whilst watching the sunset. Magical. The location could not be more prefect. The main tourist area for water sports is literally a 2 minute walk away going out from the restaurant onto the beach turn right and straight you go. And there are shops next to the front of the hotel- supermarket where you can withdraw cash, gorgeous shops with lovely vendors- they were all so kind and didn’t stop smiling even when you tried to bargain with them. Overall as a solo women traveler (and for the price), 10/10. I actually stayed around Zanzibar during my time, and I think this hotel was by far my favourite- location, the beach views. , the staff, the amazing breakfast sold it for me.

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to...

Kendwa beach was definitely the best beach compared to Nungwi, especially the south part. Even in low tide it was easy to take a swim. Also the beach here is wider and feel less crowded. As on the complete stretch there were many people trying to sell you stuff but on the south part not so many ”permanent” sales people other than the ones having sheds. The Maasai roaming around are friendly but just say no with a smile and most will not be persistent in their effort to sell you something..

If you are looking for white sand beach with the best ocean waters and minimal tides, Kendwa is the best place in Zanzibar. The beach is the most spacious and greatest on the island and the village provides all the necessities you would need. With many tours and water activities offered on the beach you would hardly need to move anywhere else. It is also a walkable distance to Nungwi during low tide if anyone is interested in a more bustily environment.

The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

The location is great, just a minute from the ocean, there are a lot restaurants both expensive and very local ones, no issues with electricity, hot shower and air-con and the safe box. Card and cash payment is acceptable. Very safe to stay and walk around even at night, the owner is very kind and trustworthy. Very basic breakfast but it OK, no TV and fridge in the room, internet is breaking so often especially in the room, but it works perfectly at the balcony. It is very budget friendly and highly recommend it.

Long walks on the beach, swimming even during low tide. Some attractions are quite far and transport is expensive. Safari Blue Tour, Swimming with dolphins and turtles, Stonetown and the Serenity Spa were awesome. The trip advisor at the hotel assisted with bookings.

Great location on the beach, very nice and friendly staff, large rooms, beautiful grounds with many coconut palms Unfortunately, there is a lot of small plastic waste and cigarette butts on the beach near the beach chairs.

Very nice small hotel of traditional architecture, with a beautiful terrace where customers can enjoy nice food and cocktails and chill out in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and smiley, always available and ready to help. Flavia and Manuel gave us advice and plenty of tips to fully enjoy our stay in Zanzibar. We appreciated in particular the quiet environment in the proximity of the best beach in Kendwa. Definitely recommended.
