We had a very nice stay at Kuwa Zanzibar. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The location was great as well. The breakfast could be improved with more variety, but overall we really enjoyed our time here and felt well taken care of. Would be happy to return.

Good location near the beach and has a lovely pool area. But the plants near the pool area mean there can be quite a lot of bugs and Spacious room, although the sofa bed is quite stiff and small so might be better to get a second room if booking for more than 2 people.

Ho fatto 6 giorni con la mia famiglia al Kuwa e mi sono trovato benissimo. La struttura è molto bella, un piccolo boutique hotel in cui tutti gli aspetti sono molto curati. La colazione è ricca e varia. Le camere spaziose e davvero pulite. Lo staff sempre presente. Ottima la convenzione per mangiare con ristorante a lato e quella per la spiaggia a due minuti a piedi. Raccomando specialmente se avete bambini!

Godt ophold

De var meget søde og det fungerede fint med at købe 20l vand for 10$ (specielt efter de købte en el pumpe) Rummet var hyggeligt- der kom en del sand fra taget når det blæste- men hyggeligt. I Afrika er der altid noget det er i uorden Løs vandhane osv. men badet fungerede godt Fint pool område og stor morgenmad God restaurant lige ved siden af-KKB
