Pies właścicieli. Miły i uczynny jeden chłopak z obsługi restauracji.
Zarezerwowałyśmy pokój dwuosobowy, dosyć późną porą na dwie noce. Okazało się, że jest to pokój rodem z południowoamerykańskich wiezień. Śmierdzący kanalizacją, z niedziałającą klimatyzacją. Z „oknem”, z którego wywala do środka gorąco jakiś wiatrak zewnętrzny, huczący tak głośno, że nie da sie zebrać myśli a co dopiero spać… Niewyspane i nieprzytomne odwołałyśmy pobyt na kolejną noc. Właściciel zagwarantował zwrot kosztu. Zapchal nas dwoma obiadami na koszt firmy. Chciałyśmy to załatwić polubownie, nie pisząc odpowiedniej opinii. Chciałyśmy przelew, nie mogli, woleli gotówke. Byłyśmy w obiekcie kilkakrotnie po odbiór gotówki (bo niby nie mogli przelewem, nie mieli w kasie gotówki), potem zaczeli woleć przelewem. Do dziś czyli od lutego do kwietnia nic sie nie wydarzyło, mimo kontaktu z obsługą klienta booking. Odpowiedź booking - „próbujemy skontaktować sie z hotelem”. Cisza z kazdej strony.

Hyggelig atmosfære. Gode pizzaer.
Det lå lidt væk fra stranden, og man var derfor tvunget til at købe sig ind på strandhotellerne, hvis man ønskede en liggestol.

Location is very nice, super close to the Kendwa beach
-The restaurant area and the view is nice, only if you look directly to the sea.But the below part is really messy with construction ruins and garbage so this also comes with the view. I think this really could be improved.
-The reception area is almost always empty and really hard to find a responsible person, sometimes we waited upto 10 mins and shouted “hello” many times and even gave up and leave at some point.
-The room area is visible from outside and can only be covered with a curtain. There are two things about it though: 1-Although the curtain hanger is kinda long, the curtain itself is really short in width so it can never be covered well and its really annoying to try. 2- Room lighting is very low and you need to open the curtain in the daylight to properly see, which then makes the whole room visible from outside.

The best part is the kitchen. Food is good. Stuff is very friendly and always ready to help. The rooms are clean. You are not directly at the sea, but it is only 10 minutes walk and the beach is really really good. Even better than Nungwi.
The beds are a bit short. Above 1.80m your feet will hang out.
The bad part is the bath. Definitely under standards and not nice to use. Very disappointing. We had two days without hot water and although we complained it was not fixed.

Clean, nice baclony
So theres like a lounge area next to the restaurant upstairs where kids can play and it is directly about the rooms. Some kids were playing something with dice all night and i could here it through the ceiling. A larger rug would be an easy fix. Also the room leaked when it rained

Very cute hotel in Kendwa, very clean and well managed. Their restaurant offers excellent pizzas and fresh pasta. Would 100% recommend staying there or even go just for their restaurant!
7.0
The room was spacious with a nice balcony. The restaurant which was on the top floor overlooked the sea, it was a beautiful view. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. It was close to the beach, only 5 mins walk.
The breakfast wasn't very good. It offered a decent variety like fruits, creps, chapati and eggs but the ingredients didn't taste fresh, especially the fruits.
8.0
The staff was very nice and it is a quiet place where to stay.
It is not really the hotel, but Kendwa itself is very crowded compared to other places in the island. This has an impact also on the price, higher than for other location in zanzibAr. Room could be a bit bigger.
9.0
The venue Is really nice with a beautiful Ocean view from the terrace.
A few meters from Kendwa beach. Very nice and friendly staff. Good breakfast, great (and fairly cheap) restaurant.
9.0
Lovely little guesthouse, we loved the restaurant, great menu, and delicious free buffet breakfast. ( I loved the selection of cakes at breakfast- very indulgent!)
The rooms are simple but stylish , set in a small cosy courtyard with a pretty garden. The rooms can be cleaned daily if you request it ( just hand your key in).
There is a lovely atmosphere in the guesthouse, the management and staff are really helpful and very friendly. It feels very safe and secluded.
It's a short walk to a beuatiful beach, we took up the offer of wristbands which allow you to use kendwa rocks sunbeds and pool which cost 20 usd each for our entire stay ( 7 nights), this worked really well for us and is really good value for money.
We really enjoyed the themed african night, which I believe happens weekly at the guesthouse, with traditional African music and a set three course menu.
We thourally enjoyed our stay at la fontana😊

Good location, though access is not immediate.
They have a partnership with Kendwa Rocks Hotel and for 20 USD you can enjoy their pool and beach sunbeads.
The restaurant is very good. Great food with normal price range. Good breakfast as well.
They are worried about the quality of the stay and ask for feedback at the moment, which gives guests the opportunity to communicate if something is not going so well and they try to improve / meet your needs, which happened to us.
Just had a small soap in the washbasin area. Though they are not a hotel, it would be nice to have a small shampoo and shower gel.
Room cleaning would work better for me if it was dairy by default. But you can ask for it daily with no difficulty 👍🏻

great hotel close to the beach. quiet area. And the Staff is amazing!!!! they went above and beyond to help me celebrate my friend’s birthday!!! they made a sign in the room gave her a piece of cake and when she got hurt they help with bandages and désinfectant!!!! amazing!!! they were also able to help with a tour…. the food at the restaurant is amazing!!!!
Don’t hesitate to stay there.
the price of chairs and umbrellas at the property they have a deal with is $20 a day per person which I find quite expensive….

Very tasty breakfasts! Salad, scramble, freshly squeezed juice, a plate of assorted fruits, dessert and coffee/tea of choice.
Location - 400 meters to the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar - Kendwa Beach, at the hotel you can buy a ticket for the entire (20$) stay on the beach hotel Kendwa Rocks first line, the beach is comfortable (deck chairs, umbrellas, outlets for charging, wi-fi, shower, toilet, order food and drinks without getting up from the chaise lounge, pool).
The most important thing about this hotel is the care and attention to the hotel guests. Starting from the gardener, who is always friendly - and will ask how things are with a smile, such a nice man, to the hotel owners - when we were burned - found us aloe, always checked how things are and whether everything is good, etc.
The guys at the bar in the restaurant also super service always.
Uncomfortable access to the hotel, hopefully in my next visit this will be fixed.
Sometimes turn off the light - here as an option solar panels.

Very good option to be on Kendwa beach for normal money with good quality. Staff is super friendly. It is oasis of calm just few minutes away from Kendwa beach. The breakfast is good, but the pasta and. Pizza and soups are fabulous. Owner is Italian family and the main chef is Italian. The rooms have good AC, are simpl but have each porch or balcony. We liked the tranquility of evening with nice flowers and trees. The restaurant has gorgeous sea view.
In one room the mattress was very soft and no mosquito net.

we had an amazing stay at La Fontana!
check in was outrageous. Ali explained and showed us everything and we felt super welcome.
Clean, beds are comfy and the breakfast delicious!
don’t miss to have a dinner at the restaurant! the Italian chef cooks amazing pasta and you have the perfect sunset view!
the garden room was a little small and we could have used some more towel hooks in the bathroom

We loved the location of this hotel! Kendwa beach is very nearby and it's easy to walk there. La Fontana has a great deal with Kendwa Rocks hotel for the guests to use their sunbeds on the beach. And the beach is amazing!! Far better than Nungwi and maybe the best beach in whole Zanzibar.
Futhermore the staff in La Fontana was very friendly and helpful. We also loved our room, which was spaceous, clean and had ocean view. We stayed here one week, but could have stayed longer!
There could have been more choises at breakfast, but it was still good!

Absolutely amazing place to stay in the beautiful beach of Kendwa. Ali, Manuel and Flavia are the best hosts you could ask for in Zanzibar. The food is simply delicious. From breakfast to lunch, dinner and special theme nights, it was always a yummy experience on a cozy terrace with stunning views.
The room was spacious, clean with a great view.
The staff and the general atmosphere made us feel welcome and comfortable at all times.
I didn’t like leaving it 😂

Good location for getting to Kendwa Beach. Really nice set up and restaurant on the balcony. Very good price for rooms
Getting there with our hire car was not fun! Very bumpy road and tight bends to park in a narrow street in front of the property. Glad we were the only one staying with a car!

Amazing staff, nice facilities, excellent quality-price
