Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar

The location was great, the food was lovely, staff were amazing and we were really well looked after. Rooms were clean and comfy, and Christian made us feel right at home, along with all the other staff! Would definitely come back

Nothing

A beautiful authentic beach resort, you can be on the beach or by the swimming pool and relax.

N/A

Right by a beautiful beach, remote and far away from busy areas (if you like that of course), very clean rooms, small and personal hotel, enough with sunbeds both by the beach and the pool, very attentive and helpful manager (Christian) who really tries to make your stay a great vacation

Approached by the same group of people who is trying to sell stuff whenever we walk outside the few meters of the hotel property to the beach. The hotel guard seemed to not have the authority to help. Buffet with very limited variety but the a la carte was great.

The hotel is beautiful, both the rooms and the external common spaces. At lunch the fish of the day is very good. There are two free activities offered: the local village tour and the snorkeling dow trip. The hotel also organises other trips for all the main attractions that Zanzibar offers, which you can book even the night before. The property cared to clean the beach from the weeds one morning we were there.

Staff doesn’t know how to manage clients’ problems, always asking other members of staff what to do, promises to send maintenance to the room, then forgets. We had to ask for a room change because of the hideous conditions of the room, they hadn’t even thought about offering us this solution. When you ask for new beach towels, they tell you they will bring them to you immediately at the room, but arrived after 4 hours. Our first room had mould in the bathroom caused by leakage of the air conditioning. When you entered the room, it smelled of mould and was unbreathable. Both the nightstands had cobwebs around them and dust. The second room had cobwebs and spiders at every corner, especially in the bathroom, where so many insects (huge spiders, wood termites and worms) came out from the beams on the ceiling. Therefore the surfaces were full of insects, and one evening we found our bed also covered in termites. Again in the second room, the safe didn’t work. They never changed our bed linens nor bath towels. The food at breakfast and dinner was mid, full of spices, with little variety. Shower and sink water stopped for two days so there was no possibility to shower. Electricity went off at least twice a day.
