Il est difficile de trouver les mots justes à la hauteur de ce lieux envoûtant. L’équipe est fantastique ! Un accueil chaleureux en chanson, tout le monde est au petit soin, prévenant, attentionné, toujours souriant. Le personnel s adapte entièrement à vos envies, à vos horaires, à vos caprices. Humainement c était une merveilleuse expérience. La nourriture était excellente, gargantuesque ! Le paysage est paradisiaque, les maisons sont décorées avec beaucoup de goût et de raffinement. Le lieu est magique hors du temps. Tout est propre. Les femmes de ménages passent tous les soirs du produit anti moustique dans les chambres et décorent vos lit. La vue est juste incroyable, on peut voir les marées. La visite des tortues dans le jardin nous donne la sensation d être en harmonie avec la nature. C est calme et reposant. Nous avions loué les 2 villas et nous nous sentions vraiment chez nous. La piscine est chaude, limpide avec une vue sublime. Tout était parfait, je ne vois absolument rien à redire. Merci à vous tous pour cette merveilleuse expérience. Si nous devions revenir à zanzibar, c est avec certitude que nous reviendrons chez vous et nul part ailleurs. Bon voyage

Zanzibar has become my favorite place to visit and this is all thanks to the wonderful staff at the Kidoti village. The house itself is indescribable. The house was located in a perfect space because we were not too far from town so we were still able to experience the amazing culture. Salum took care of us while we were there. He was very attentive and answered any questions that we had. He also showed us around the area. This place is perfect!

Kidoti Villas was like something out of a dream. After a long day of Safari on the mainland and a flight to Zanzibar Island, we were welcomed to our Villa with a delicious bedtime snack and a bottle of champagne. The beautiful villa and unbelievable view was just one part of what made our stay so peaceful. Michael and the staff at Kidoti were all very friendly and extremely attentive. We were so grateful for their hospitality. They made us feel comfortable and at home. I would highly recommend Kidoti Villas for a completely relaxing stay at Zanzibar Island. You will not be disappointed.

As I arrived in this exclusive well hidden villa, I was welcome by singing staff, singing “jambo. jambo bwana.” Followed by a glass of cold juice that gave me a hint of this tropical island. As I walked into our villa I noticed the walls that were beautifully covered with aesthetic African artwork. the rooms and the entire villa looked divine. The best memory was walking out in front garden and seeing the most beautiful garden I have ever seen, looking down hill I could see the sunset, and these majestic horse running around from afar. This was Paradise on Earth. On the evening we had dinner on the lower deck,the ambience and the food were both Amazing, I tried the stone-town masala which tasted exquisite.I highly recommend this place for anyone and everyone. Everything is beautifully surreal from the friendly staff members, private pool, the garden, the surrounding nature, the artwork and just the overall euphoria feeling these villas provide.

These Villas, the staff, the food, the service were impeccable. From the Christmas trees that adorned both of the Villas my family rented, to the private Christmas Eve BBQ on the huge ocean view deck, to the all the staff members, especially the main Villa contact, Michael, and his apprecentice Abu, who kindly guided my husband and I on a walk to the ocean side (hint, wear long pants). We ordered our food off the general hotel menu and, because their is a working kitchen between each villa for the staff, it was presented to us at the time we indicated. And of course, because their are fully equipped kitchens in each Villa one could cook for oneself, we just chose not to. The Villas were spotless and spacious - the other reviews attest to that - I will say is that this is a perfect place for two families to rent, have their own space and be together with in great comfort! The pictures are very accurate. I would not hesitate to recommend this to my Canadian friends and family.

We were a party of eight and had booked both villas. The villas and location are stunningly beautiful . The team headed by Michael looked after us like we were kings and queens nothing was too much trouble. The food cooked on site by the team was high end restraunt standard. To add a twist I left a wallet behind with a substantial amount of money. Michael not only found it but went to great lengths to get it back to me in the UK. Big thank you to Michael and his team.

The Kidoti villas are an incredible place to stay which I would highly recommend. They are comfortable, high spec with everything you could need. All of the staff, especially Michael and Yusaf were brilliant. You have a private chef who cooks amazing food whenever you need, including beautiful seafood dinners on the terrace. The views, along with the infinity pool are breathtaking, especially at sunset. There are even resident tortoise to keep you company! The villas are owned by the Z hotel who we did our safari though (which was also incredible). You can get free transfers there whenever you want for cocktails, dinners or just beach time but in all honestly, you want to leave Kidoti villas, it really is a slice of paradise.

Kidoti villas are the most well kept places I’ve ever stayed. The staff on site are amazing, very friendly and helpful to all your needs. You feel very safe and secure and enjoy the all the luxury without even leaving the grounds. The views are out of this world and you can enjoy the sunset from beautiful gardens where there is the most amazing pool and loungers. This is ideal if there is a big family wanting to holiday together. The chef is outstanding and the cocktails are delicious! The maid does an amazing job and all your needs are very well taken care of. You can also enjoy a taxi ride to many restaurants along the beach as well as visiting local markets where you can buy many oil paintings by local artists as well as jewellery made by the local messiah. Highly recommend a stay here it’s outstanding.
