I stayed at Mapenzi in June 2010. I know this review is long over due but maybe it can still help some people. I would reccommend Mapenzi to everyone who wants to go on an affordable holiday that feels a lot more luxurious than it costs. Mapenzi is just great value for money. The hotel has everything you could want... More

Despite having a different name to that booked with Expedia which led to a kerfuffle with our cab driver on arrival (now part of a European hotel group) it is a lovely hotel in almost all departments. Reception and bar staff well briefed and helpful; pool staff attentive and efficient. Housekeeping swift and thorough and gardening provided my wife with... More

We went to Mapenzi in Feb 2013. The room we got had a bad smell in. After complaining we were offered another room but not at a nice location so we stayed.Management never asked if we were happy. After spilling medicine on the bed sheets we asked for clean sheets and it was then that we discovered the horrible stains... More

I was there with my girlfriend on July 2012. The location is really nice, north east coast is better than the west with white sand and large difference on water level during tide. The hotel is not bad but probably I was expecting something better from the price I paid and from the pictures I saw, (especially for the rooms... More

What’s not to love about this place? We had an amazing stay here and can’t really find anything significant to fault it. From the time we arrived till the time we left we were very well looked after by the friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is located right on a beautiful beach with all the water activities and beach... More

Whilst the resort is wonderful - it is best suited for the older group travellers. not much activity at night in the resort for the younger age group and far from everything requiring taxi trips (60 dollars a go) Make sure you leave the resort and experience other areas of Zanzibar. Nungwe is Fantastic :)

What an awesome resort, friendly and professional staff, stunning rooms, excellent service, the place is 100% clean and neat 24/7. This was the best holiday experience of our lives, with plenty to do, beautiful beaches, worthwhile excursions especially Safari Blue, a must do while in Zanzibar. The rooms are serviced and cleaned daily with fresh flowers everywhere, even Hibiscus flowers... More
