Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
My Blue Hotel Zanzibar offers a fantastic location right on Nungwi Beach, allowing easy access to the sandy shore. Guests often enjoy the infinity pool with its beautiful ocean views, and appreciate the convenience of having a cafeteria set up directly on the beach. Some guests have noted that the ground floor rooms can be a bit noisy due to the window louvers, but overall, the hotel provides a good 4-star experience with easy access to activities and the beach.

mixed feelings about this stay

unresolved bed issueworn out towels
i booked the most expensive villa. it was supposed to have three beds, but it only had two. the front desk kept saying they would fix it, but nothing happened after three hours. wifi did not reach our villa, and again, nothing was done. towels on the beach were old and worn out.
