The reviews said it would be calm. And it was really calm. The staff is super-friendly. A really nice place! The restaurant is amazing. There's only one dish per meal to choose from. But the chef is one good cook! The bar is great. The downside is the beach which makes it difficult to take a swim during the day... More

Really a nice place, a paradise, Shebi and his staff are friendly and kind. Very good and huge breakfast. The dinner is not so variuos but axeptable and cheap. Very good service of dolphin watching and bathing 25$ each on a private boat! The bungalows are huts, the bed is a little unconfortable but we liked so much our stay...... More

We just returned from the Promised Land Lodge where we spent a week with relatives and friends for a wedding event which was hosted there. Shebi and his staff did a fantastic job of coordinating a family wedding. They were all very friendly and accommodating. The entire resort was dedicated to the wedding. Custom meals focusing on the fresh caught... More

We have spent one of our best holidays in Promised Land. Peace, beauty and friendliness are always at hand. The sea view with its low tides is breathtaking, you may reach the local village by foot walking in the water, strong sandals in this case are recommended. At night you will not hear bustling TVs or buzzing air-cons but will... More

We had the pleasure of spending two weeks at Promised Land. What particulary made it outstanding was the friendly atmosphere and scenic surroundings. Sure you will find beautiful beaches and professionally helpful staff all over Zanzibar. What made the difference here were the unique service mindedness, brilliant outside area with a hammocks and a bonfire every night. E.g. My brother... More

Thanks for an amazing stay, Shebi! Off the beaten track and in the un-spoilt South of the island, Promised lands is a rustic and relaxed paradise. Relatively quiet and hassle-free walks along the stunning coastline. The bungalows are beautiful and directly next to the water. Lots of hammocks perfectly suited for a breezy mozzy-free afternoon spent reading, dozing, sipping a... More

The owner has an incredible eye for creating a place you want to hang out at. That's nice, since there's not much to do in the village. Such a great atmosphere, with the owner adding a fire every night to perfect the beach feel. Food was fresh and delicious. Between the hammocks and swings and bar and restaurant, we were... More

Allthough we only stayed for 1 night I can recommend this place. Relax. Nice location. Very chill athmossphere. Organized our early dolphin tour efficiently. Good communication over mail beforehand. Would go back. 50USD for a double would be a little pushed on the mainland but is good value on Zanzibar.

Me and my friend spent 12 days in promised land and absolutely loved it!! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always there when we needed something and made our stay there 10 times better! The atmosphere is great, nice and relaxed with fresh fish with catch of the day every day which was delicious! The hammocks and... More
