The bungalows are nice (although there isn't a bathroom door.....), however, some of the staff members were ridiculous! One in particular was rude and continually laughing at us? He threw a big fuss when asking for new towels ("that towel doesn't look dirty to me", etc). Be careful that you are not followed to the hotel by someone looking to... more

I stayed in Kinazi Upepo for 5 days with a group of friends. The place is wonderful but is is poorly managed. Letting aside some minor problems, the water was often missing due to loss in the pipes. I also see rats wandering in the restaurant during the night, the same rats that eat holes in a couple of sweater... more

The problem was... more

A friend living in Stonetown suggested this place. It's cheap ($35 cash for a cold water bungalow) and the restaurant used to be good. We stayed about 3 or 4 nights and were dismayed by the restaurant. They ran out of food at breakfast, served nothing during the day, and dinner was kinda pricey for the area and only so-so.... more

We stayed here for 4 days over Christmas - 2007. Reading the other reviews, I am not surprised that everyone had a great time! We did aswell - the staff were friendly, good food and very relaxing atmosphere. Although we did have a couple of problems and the staff's reaction was not particularly apologetic. We booked 6 months in advance... more

We stayed at Kinazi beach hotel on Page - Zanzibar for Christmas eve, day & boxing day. The rooms are okay. There is a room fan and the beds are clean. They are okay if you are in 20.s & thirty's /backpacking but if you want a more comfortable ,spacious room with air con worth spending more. The staff are... more

Great value, great staff and fantastic restaurant/bar right on the beach in Paje, Zanzibar. Althought the rooms were relatively basic this was of little importance when you had a beautiful large sandy beach right outside the door and a beautiful bar & good value restaurant (with excellent seafood) right on the beachfront. Close to everything else in Paje (which is... more

Ate and drank here at least once every day during my holiday. Excellent food but not cheap. Restaurant is built in eco friendly way right on the beach, perfect location for beach watching in day! It was pretty windy on the beach at night times so take a jumper, I know strange advice on tropical island but even though it... more

We loved this little place. We stayed in a beach banda for 10 nights. It was very basic, you have to share a bathroom, but it was clean and comfortable enough and can't complain too much when you're right on the beach. Really cool! So you just hear the sounds of the sea. There's a restaurant looking out at the... more
