Hotels in Tanzania

Very local vibe in peaceful place surrounded by masai bomas.

the staff was super welcoming and helpful, they all spoke perfect English and were very smart compared to the average for the place. they were all very attentive to the customer experience. the owners Giovanni and Smart are also fantastic, super welcoming they made us feel totally at ease and dedicated a lot of training to us. it was the second structure of our holiday and we didn't think we would find such a welcoming structure. the beds? fantastic super comfortable!!!!

*A Peaceful Paradise with Purpose* Palmera Zanzibar is a serene oasis just outside a charming village. I loved the peaceful garden, the spotless infinity pool, and the magical ocean views—especially at sunset. The food was creative, delicious, and all homemade (including fresh breads and cakes!). My room was beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed, sea view, and solar-powered AC—much appreciated in the heat! What makes Palmera truly special is its mission: it’s part of the More Than A Drop Hospitality College, training underprivileged girls for careers in hospitality. The staff and students were incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel safe and welcome. Highly recommended—for both the experience and the amazing cause behind it.

Very close to the beach Kindness Food Clean Room condition Pick up and drop service from airport to hotel and from hotel to hotel. Nothing is better! Perfect!

There are kindly staff~Especially the boss Tomek is glad to talk with you and give advise to you whatever anything .If you have the plan to stone town or other view,you should prepare earlier,because it’s a little far away.

We spent 10 days in the hotel. The hotel itself is located directly on a not busy beach, one minute from the Rock Restaurant. At high tide the ocean is only a few steps away. This gives the hotel a very special atmosphere. The hotel, common areas and rooms are very tastefully furnished and very clean. We can see the ocean from the rooms and the terrace. The hotel's garden is beautiful, with lots of flowering plants. John, the gardener gave a small tour showing all the plants and bracelets made from hibiscus and amaranda. The food was very delicious. My favorites were the fish food and the passion fruit cheesecake. All members of the staff are extremely kind, helpful and attentive. Godfrey helped us in everything, he organized the tours (swimming with turtles, butterfly center, Jozani forest, spice farm, fishing tour etc.) according to our request. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and hope to return. :)

We had the pleasure of staying at The Cliffs Lodge in Pangani and it was an absolutely exceptional experience. The lodge offers a peaceful and serene environment that immediately makes you feel at home. With only a few rooms, it provides an intimate and private experience, which makes the whole atmosphere incredibly charming and personal. The owners, a lovely Dutch couple, are some of the warmest and most engaging hosts I've ever encountered. They genuinely care about their guests and are always ready to share fascinating stories about their lives and insights in the Tanzanian life. The staff are also incredibly attentive and dedicated, always ensuring that every need is met with a smile. The level of care and service is truly remarkable and adds so much to the overall experience. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and authentic. You can tell that a lot of thought and care goes into every dish. The Cliffs Lodge is the perfect getaway for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle and experience something truly special. I can't recommend it highly enough!

First of all, let's start with the welcome: driver on time at the airport, arrival at the facility with an excellent welcome from the manager Eva with a drink and even the owner Ahmet, who ensures us all the useful information in a clear way. we immediately notice that the structure is managed in a family way but with every security (private police always present within the perimeter) and precision. spacious, comfortable rooms, excellent mattresses, clean bathrooms, mosquito nets on the doors/windows and around the bed. excellent catering, varied and excellently cooked fish menu. Mineral water, tea, coffee always available. great advice and contacts for dedicated guides for exclusive private tours but with the right cost. location just a few minutes walk from the best beaches. thanks to Ahmet and his dream team. we will be back soon. PS: not so many reviews but all of them are from real happy customers!!

We liked absolutely everything, from the check in, pool, restaurant, rooms.. to locations and very kind staff! Highly recommended!

This is a great place to stay if you are planning to dive in Mafia for a view days. The two cosy new bungalows are part of the family run dive center. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is yummy and you can also have the option for dinner. I enjoyed the big pool to relax after great dives and the beach is just a stone throw away. Also the dive center and its extremely helpful staff deserves 5 stars!

This is a beautiful, quiet place to stay. So close to a delightful beach and Aliya was very kind to allow a late checkout. The villa and the pool are perfect.
