What we liked the most was the well kept garden and nice chilling area with hammocks, board games and a ping pong table(that was a great bonus) Swimming pool was clean and big enough. The breakfasts were great and huuge! It really was a lot of food so we always saved some for a later snack. The staff were friendly.
The apartments require a lot of maintanence, not just us but other guests also struggled with same issues. For example the air condition was leaking a lot (small leakage is normal, but it was leaking to the extend that we had to move the carpet and our luggage) Toilet seat was broken. Wifi was very weak and was constantly cutting off. But the worst thing was that the beddings and towels had an awful smell and didn't feel clean. Which should not happen when the nightly rate is over 100$. If the management works on the maintanence and laundry detergent, this place will be really nice and comfortable.

Emmanuel and his staff are simply amazing. They were extremely accommodating, friendly and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms as well as the premises were clean. Breakfast was tasty with enough variety, although way too much for our family. The lounge area with hammocks and couches is peaceful.
For me, the bed was way too hard. I like my bed with a little more cushion. This was way too hard for my wife and my back. Our kids didn't seem to mind, however. I would have liked some evening entertainment around the poolside for those who don't want to venture out to find entertainment

We will give the staff 12 out of 10 if possibleš- so friendly especially Emmanuel and Esther. Very clean and Well maintained. 2 min walk to nice beach and good restaurants
It would be great with a restaurant onsite and sunchairs on the beach - but they are already working on thatšāŗļø

We absolutely loved our stay at Kuwa. The rooms were a perfect size for 4 people - didnāt feel cramped at all and we enjoyed the expansive balcony space. We felt very secure on the property and in the area as four female travellers.
It is hard to say what was the best part about our stay as both the breakfast and the pool / surrounding lounge area were brilliant. Breakfast was the best we have found in Zanzibar so far with extensive options which changed each day we were there. The pool was gorgeous and we usually had it to ourselves.
We really appreciated the thorough daily room clean after sandy days at the beach.
Also thank you to the super friendly and thoughtful staff - you made our trip special.
Nothing really - everything was really great!

The breakfast was fabulous, a platter of fresh fruits, a fruit juice, choice of swahili tea or coffee, eggs cooked to your choice and Esther every day brought out something different, (samosas were amazing) as well as doughnuts style bread (one plain one with sugar). We had a junior suite which was a great size and very modern, bright and clean. Esther and Naima cleaned daily. Little touches such as towels for the pool were available to use. The pool area was gorgeous with plenty of seating and a TV to put music or whatever on when sitting by the pool. Loved the sofa leading into the pool too. Emmanuel was very informative with information and the whole team were generally just so lovely and welcoming

The apartment was spacious and well equipped. There was cleaning every day and they also provided beach towels. The common areas are nicely decorated and it was really nice to just lounge around the pool.
The bathroom was not very modern - the door did not close properly, there was smell coming out of the drain, shower was a bit rusty with slow water flow and the sink was not well mounted. Also the kitchen was a bit old fashioned with a very rusty fridge and a little scary gas stove.

A perfect place for me, an intimate and quiet place. The accommodation feels like being with friends in a villa and not like a hotel. Breakfast is recommended with fresh foods and local pastries. The staff were great and helped with every request. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

Perfect for Kiwengwa stay! Higly recommended for families, friends and couples who would enjoy private space, nice room and lovely staff just 2min walk from the beach. Special thanks to Emmanuel and the girls, who made our stay very personally, feel like home.

amazing staff, Emmanuel was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Great location, few minutes walk from the beach. The highlight what to be the breakfast, it was like a banquet! so much choice!

We really appreciated the atmosphere of the place ! beautiful set up, wonderful decorations, pleasant pool. Good localisation as well. The staff was amazing especially Emmanuel, Esta and the whole crew, very helpful, understanding, sociable, if we had the chance, we would have stayed longer.
No air condition, the fan is just above the bed.
No intimacy in the room downstairs, itās better for couples only (no door between the bedroom and the shower). No paper toilet and no towels but the problem was easily resolved.

Super friendly staff, the also arranged a shuttle for me and my sister from the ferry. The room was really nice and clean. And we really enjoyed our breakfast!
The wifi wasnāt always working, but than again there were enough places close by.
Me and my sister wouldāve liked it if the facility wouldāve proposed tradition/African food as well, instead of European food in the area.
