I was upgraded to a bigger room and I had my own outside seating area. Excellent and plenty of choices of food for breakfast. The restaurant also served delicious lunch and dinner. The location was safe and quiet. Security on property. Friendly owners and staff. The back up generator really helped when the whole Zanzibar lost power for several hours.

Best thing about hotel is that you can ask whatever you want and 99% of your wishes come true.
As European I like some things made differently as they are in Africa but if you ask the hotel staff makes it!
As example I can say they make awsome tuna stakes if you ask them! And they also add rum to your coconut if you ask. So the main tip is - ASK!
Moreover, as experienced travelwr I have been reading reviews about the hotel and two things were very disturbing (a) that the selection of food os not very rich; and (b) that the tides make the sea go away for a far far way.
To tackle that I shall say that (a) food is good and changes everyday, so even on 11 night stay you will have a varios optios to choose from (especialy if you are into sea food); (b) tides are constant but there was no day with out sea at your foot steps to the pool, meaning that some times you have to wait half a day before sea comes back but it eventualy does.
Featuring a terrace with Indian Ocean views, set by sandy Kiwengwa Beach, the 30-acre site includes a spa, pool and sports facilities.

We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water.
I loved the colour, clarity and temperature of the water. The sand was so soft and almost white. I didn't like the hassle on the beach though. It was easier to stay at the hotel to avoid it. But that's not why you visit another country!

Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest.
Quiet part of the island with beach among the nicest. That meant fewer people and tranquility which was what I was looking for during that trip. The hotel was also exactly what I need. All the facilities (gym, massage, sports activities) + excellent food at a reasonable cost. And Fatma the day manager was great. A wonderful person and soul

The restaurant and other staff were extremely courteous and helpful in all circumstances.
The Food and Beverager Manager Zablon is a kind and focused man, results oriented.
The hotel is a true gem. It is on the southern part of Kiwengwa village, which is very calm and has a beautiful beach right in front. The property has a very nice beach area with hammocks, loungers and mattresses where you can hang out at the beach the whole day.
The food was exceptional, portion size and taste wise. And not to forget the staff, who were all very kind, attentive and made sure we enjoyed our stay. We fully recommend staying at this hotel in this beautiful hidden gem part of the island.
Very nice and cozy hotel. Perfect getaway after travelling around in Zanzibar in two weeks. It was really amazing to come to a nice and clean hotel where we could relax and enjoy it. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. It was clean and we got extra blankets and pillows as requested. All in all a very nice expierence for a reasonable price.
Very very fresh and good breakfast!
Also spa and massage there was very nice. The staff was very friendly and was ready to help you at any time.
The best experience in Zanzibar at Boho Boutique Hotel!! Amazing location right on the beach, above all my expectation!!! The rooms are very modern, comfortable and clean! Even the breakfast was an amazing experience with homemade bread and sweets!!! The beach very clean and the infinity pool is outstanding. It seems like 5* hotel way above our expectation. We highly revommend this boho style small hotel and definitely will come back again!
Perfect Start for our Trip around the island. small Hotel, authentically runned in Perfect Spot directly by the Beach. staff is very friendly and Helpful but without being pushy.

Our stay at Z-Lodge hotel was really great. The food and cocktails were delicious and satisfying, with each meal leaving us impressed. The ocean's colors during high tide were a sight to behold, adding to the overall experience. Our room was interesting, featuring old Zanzibarian antique furniture that gave it a unique feel. It was a fantastic choice for a relaxing retreat for my husband and me.
My holiday was incredible. Nice pool bar one dive one shot. Rooms are astounding and amazing, Staffs are friendly and loyal. The massage at the beach side woooooow such an exquisite relaxation. The hotel food with the garnish on every meal made me to eat repeatedly just to enjoy the meals, in general the hotel deserves *****. I can't wait my next holiday
Very cozy hotel with amazing and very friendly staff and hosts. The room was very spacious with clean linens and good pressure in the shower. Breakfasts were amazing and here they can make good espresso as well. The swimming pool and some shadows around it could really provide some rest from the hot weather conditions on Zanzibar.
Fantastic, great value little hotel right on the beach. Clean simple bungalow rooms which open right onto the sand. Rooms are very well set up for travellers with numerous universal power points and good Wi-Fi throughout. Great tasting breakfast and other meal options. Laura, Ania and the rest of the staff were amazing.
I liked that the beach was accessible and there is a large swimming pool. The breakfast included in the booking was buffet style and had a lot of variety. There were also activities such as aqua gym etc. The hotel also has turn down service which was great. The restaurant and chef at the beach restaurant were great.
Staff was very welcoming and best choice in Kiwengwa. the restaurant manager prepared some local dishes based on request. The beach was nice and less touristy considering the nungwi. It is almost in the center of island very accessible to all others destinations. My family really enjoyed the stay in the hotel.
Great location, approx 1hr from Zanzibar airport, $50 oneway transport, great communication thru "Whats App", driver was kind and respectful. Resort is really nice with gorgeous grounds, clean pools.
The resort mostly has a European clientele.
Workers are kind and helpful
Very beautiful hotel in a calm and less touristic area of Zanzibar! We had the top floor room with sea view for our honeymoon and we were amazed! The staff is also very helpful and caring, they even came to our room in the evenings to spay for mosquitos and fix the net of the bed!
Seashore is a lovely quiet boutique hotel made up of rustic beach bungalows a stone’s throw from the beach and a short walk to the main town. The main strip is plagued by sellers so it was so lovely to come back to the peace and tranquillity of Seashore.
Room is clean ,beach view .staff is very professional and friendly. I enjoyed my stay there . It is like paradise.Flesita and Sasha were amazing and the rest of the staff also . For sure I will come again. Kwaheri Zanzibar
It is a small oasis in Zanzibar!

SIMAI I'll see you again, thank you for your hospitality.

The workers were so friendly, the food was good and it was so peaceful.
Me and my wife are definitely coming back to this hotel during our next trip in Zanzibar.
Waking up to a view of the ocean from the foot of our bed, the cool pool vibe and incredible food and service made this one of our favorite stays in Zanzibar!
