After a great safari experience in Tanzania with excellent 4 and 5 star accomodations, we were very disappointed when we arrived in Karafuu beachresort. If you are used to the normal quality of service in a 5 star hotel, then don't go to this hotel because you will be disappointed. We travel a lot for both work & leisure and... more

This is definitely not a five star hotel. When asked later on if I would recommend this hotel, I'll say no. However, I would recommend it as a three star hotel and provided more information is provided by the hotel prior to the arrival of the guests. The food is adequate but rather unimaginative. Breakfasts never vary except for the... more

I understand that some people write good review for that hotel, because they are influenced by the wonderful sea, and they don't know that everywhere in Zanzibar the sea looks like that. I travel 4 month per year, so visited quite a lot of hotels and this is the first time in my life that when I book through internet... more

Our comment for all the couples who want to get married abroad: Before we left for Zanzibar, we emailed many times with Barbara from the office in Italy. She was very helpfull and we could tell that she had arranged many marriages before. We had many... more

I stayed here for my honeymoon after a 7 day safari and some time in Stonetown. We checked out a couple of places along the road to Karafuu but fell in love with this place when we saw it. The staff were professional and courteous, the decor was stunning and the food was amazing. We enjoyed walking along the beach... more

We had a perfect diving holiday staying at Karafuu Hotel on Zanzibar - it's an exotic paradise! The hotel and the surroundings are just beautiful. We especially enjoyed our diving experiences in Karafuu. The staff in the hotel diveshop is super friendly and professional, and we had a really good time diving with them. We will definitely recommend Karafuu Hotel! more

We came on our honeymoon from UK. On arrival we were upgraded to a very well appointed, spacious bungalow with excellent bathroom, living and sleeping facilities. We rate this hotel as excellent for the following reasons: 1. High standard accommodation (not just for honeymooners!). 2. Courteous well-trained staff who want all the guests to have a very enjoyable stay 3.... more

At the end of October we stayed with Karafuu Hotel. After an amazing safari we were looking for some relaxation. At the Karafuu hotel this was no problem. There was a lovely swimmingpool and beach. Because of the big diffence in tides, you could see the coral with it amazing features. This you normally only could see when you go... more

Our family stayed with Karafuu for two weeks in the summer of 2008, after enjoying a fantastic Safari in the Masai Mara national park in Kenya. Karafuu was a very pleasant experience, that I surely will recommend to my friends and family. The location is just awesome, right on the water and away from the busy Stone Town. Nice bungalows... more

I just returned from a 4 day stay at Karafuu. First of all this resort is like a paradise. Everything at Karafuu feels absolute amazing. The people, the service , the amenities,the food and the entertainment is exceptional. I have travelled to many countries and stayed in various resort, but nothing comes close to Karafuu. The service is warm and... more
