Beautiful property and the staff went above and beyond for my birthday! They prepared a nice private dinner along with decorations at the dinner and in the room!! Instead of reheating my left overs from the day before, they brought me a freshly prepared meal. It is the little things and this hotel has surely exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to come back and stay

Amazing architecture, quiet and nice pool. Good access to the beach and close to many other attractions, restaurants, shopping etc. We were a bit underwhelmed from our expectations of the services and from the online pictures.

Highly recommend!

WOW! The view, the rooms, the food, the pool, the service, the gym, the yoga sessions, the private BBQ-experience. We could go on! Everything you want from a 5 star boutique hotel! I’m fairly well-traveled, and there is nothing I would change with this hotel or the staff. Incredible experience from start to finish. Cannot praise Bamboo higher all through our stay. Even after we left they helped us with hotel recommendations (when we had a bad experience with our second hotel of our stay), and offered to help us out immediately. The team makes it feel as a home and really care about your entire experience. This was our first visit, and will be on top of our recommendation list for friends visiting Zanzibar.

Our stay at the Bamboo Hotel was truly wonderful. The grounds are absolutely stunning, and the unique architectural design—where you can gaze out at the ocean as if it’s a living, breathing TV screen—is incredibly relaxing. The rooms were spotless and clearly well-maintained; the staff does an exceptional job keeping everything clean and comfortable. Service was excellent—everyone was warm, attentive, and eager to make our stay enjoyable. The food was delicious, and we especially loved the fresh juices—they were refreshing and full of flavor. Overall, we highly recommend the Bamboo Hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by beautiful waters and top-notch service.

Honeymoon-vibe

Jag och min fru var här och vi fick en "honeymoon-vibe" trots att vi varit gifta i fem år. Vi blev verkligen bortskämda av allt från platsen, känslan, vyn men framförallt av människorna och servicen på hotellet. Alla såg verkligen till att vi hade bra och gjorde det lilla extra för att vi ska känna oss bekväma och välomhändertagna. Det gjorde inte saken sämre av att allt började med en uppgradering till sviten utan extra kostnad. Verkligen, underbar vistelse. En av våra absolut bästa. Många fina minnen och bilder kommer vi få härifrån. Stort tack Bamboo Hotel!
