Location, location, location.
Take of your shoes, relax and unwind on one the beachloungers or in a hammock.
One of the few places that really has its chairs on the beach.
My room was small but bright. Nice hot rainshower. Staff very friendly and helpful.
May be the matrass if I have to say something 😅

The location is absolutely perfect. It is located directly on the beach, so you can eat barefoot under the stars or watch the sunrise in pyjamas. It is a quite remote place so you might feel that the beach is only there for you to enjoy it.
The food menu is vast and the food is good. The boys from the Bar are very nice, funny, helpful and create a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Joseph, Octavian and all others! We had great time with you and still listening to the music you put on.
We had the family suite with balcony. The rooms are big enough and the bathroom is also very large.
The ocean has several tide times so you can not count on it to take a swim at your pace.
We were on trips every day.
The goats from the neighbors house are sometimes pretty loud but extremely funny...they do not sound familiar at all :)
Unfortunately the fact that the location is just perfect is not sustained by the quality if the accommodation. We had lizards entering the room and a lot of ants. Even though we agree that they belong to the place, they were entering through a hole in the bathroom and it was quite uncomfortable for the children.
The socket outlet were loose from the wall, the lampshades were dirty. The sheets on the bed did not seem to have been changed during our whole stay. The towels had some brown stains on them.
On the outside some light fixtures were totally damaged.
The breakfast was poor, did not receive not once a cocos slice or mango. The fruit platter contained 3 fruits: 1 banana,1 thin slice of watermelon, 1 slice of anannas.
There were often electricity problems, which made the atmosphere at night romantic. Though there were candles every night on the tables. Nice touch!

Die Lage hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Ein wunderschöner Strand für lange Spaziergänge.
Das Frühstück war lecker. Weitere Restaurants findet man in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Die Austattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Dennoch haben wir sehr gut geschlafen.

Fabulous little hideaway on the quiet side of Zanzibar. This place is perfect for anyone wanting a no frills, chill out full holiday or just a few days break. Nikki has got this place just right for those who want to taste a piece of local authentic lifestyle.
For anyone wanting crisp, modern, multi-chain style (& expensive) accommodation then this place might not be for you. Blue Palm Zanzibar fits & works perfectly in its exotic & serene surroundings whereas the fore mentioned certainly would almost spoil such a place.
Bwejuu & Paje are nearby (5mins taxi ride) for any essential shopping or a general mooch around/change of scenery.
All in all, we would definitely recommend & hope to visit again soon.
There were a few occasions when a couple of bar staff (mentioning no specific names) could have been more attentive to the customers, especially in Nikki’s absence. No major issue.

Le calme, la plage magnifique et la gentillesse du personnel.
L’ajout d’un ventilateur afin de mieux dormir .
Je suis partie plus tôt lorsque j’ai entendu la proposition d’un bungalow à un couple qui ne l’a pas accepté alors que je l’avais demandé à mon arrivée en insistant compte tenu de la petite chambre avec une salle de bain à côté ce qui n’était pas noté lors de ma réservation.

Location is excellent, right on the beach, it’s quiet and pretty. The hotel stuff is super friendly, kind and attentive. The owner was very nice and accommodating, whenever she saw us,She made sure we had everything we needed, easy and fast service, clean rooms, food was great as well. Thank you !
PS. I read one negative review here and I just wanted to add that I couldn’t disagree more , I guess there are some entitled and spoiled guests everywhere and I feel sorry for beautiful people in this particular hotel, my family had a great time and we were well taken care off . Once again, thank you very much!

I was only there for a short time but I wish I could have stayed longer! The food was delicious, nice big menu, the staff very welcoming and my room was so bright and comfy with a beautiful seaview. It's right on the beach so I swam often! I especially loved the bar, lots of cute details and the barmen are super friendly. I'll be back soon!
Just be aware of the bumpy road leading up to the hotel!

Nice with freshly made breakfast. Beautiful location directly on the beach. The rooms upstairs had a huge terrace with yoga mats. The bar area was in the sand, it was very clean and the sand was watered every morning and evening to prevent sand blowing everywhere.
The rooms are much smaller than they look like in the pictures. No space at all to unpack the suitcase.

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Food was excellent, especially the Wednesday Thai night.
Drinks were very good and reasonably priced. Excellent wifi.Good value here. Would definitely stay here again.
Rooms could use a deep clean once in a while. Cobwebs under the night stand.
Food and drink were fantastic but ran out of ingredients for meals and cocktails.

Bar/Restaurant area is very nice and welcoming. The staff is extremely kind and always ready to help. Food at the restaurant is very well prepared and you can really taste the freshness. Occasionally there are events at the restaurant, like live music or special dinners(Thai etc.)
The beach is nice to walk.
The bed is confortable
Sometimes water and electricity went off. Some ants in the bedroom.

Loved walking out of our room every morning onto the beach and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Raymond's smile made breakfast a great start to the day 😀.
A wonderfully relaxing start to 2023!
Our 1st room was quite dark. Felt like we were in a cave. For a little extra we moved into a room with a balcony where we could sit and watch the sea.
7.0
The rooms are in front of the sea in a quite beach. Good location but you need to walk 5km or take a daladala/boda/taxi to Paje.
The staff was polite and smiley only when we would order or give a tip. Eventually we had our meals not at the hotel because of the staff.
Also we collected garbage from the beach and we asked them where to bring them and they were not helpful.
7.0
beachfront location and lovely bar area with sun loungers and seating so you can admire the views. Staff were all very helpful, especially Ibrahim who was brilliant and always so attentive.
The property is good value based on the price and it’s location, however I would of expected the rooms to be cleaner than what they were. our room smelt really bad and especially the bathroom had a sewage type smell and a problem with ants crawling everywhere and little bugs in the shower.

staff was very kind and respectful
view from the room is very beautiful
they keep the garden very clean
internet was good even when you need to work
Food. in tropical areas tourists expect fresh food. especially fresh fruit juices made ONLY with fruits. Also limiting coffee or tea to one tiny cup we found strange.

My room was perfect for a single person stay (room 8) - the sea view was great and the seating area outside was perfect. The wifi was excellent throughout my stay - I would definitely recommend this as a place to work remotely. Food was ok, nothing special but staff were very attentive and always happy to help. Airport transfer was well-priced.
I wish I had done a bit more research about the area before booking. There is really is nothing around here unless you have transport. Unfortunately the hour walk along the beach to Paje was ruined by the constant attention from guys on the beach. I was glad to have stayed in a couple of other spots on the island before coming here. Having said that, Blue Palm seems a good choice for this area.

Excellent staff, fantastic location! A short walk on the beach to Paje and other resorts and restaurants. Very friendly and cozy vibe, good music and amazing service!
Our room was kind of stuffy, due to no airflow through the room. The staff offered us another fan (that we forgot to remind them to put in the room). Would have booked a family room next time!
9.0
The team and this hotel is wonderful. the whole staff is super nice and they work really hard that their guests have a great stay. the food in the restaurant is very good so no need to go somewhere else in the evening.
the interior design is typical for the island but still modern and basic. beds are very comfortable. it’s a perfect mix. they arrange everything for you according to what you need, for example day trips or if you need to exchange money :)
as a lot of accommodations on the coast also that one doesn’t have Glas in the windows. it only has mosquito nets and curtains. so bring earplugs in case you are not a heavy sleeper. but this is not a downgrade at all!! :) just come prepared
10.0
the staff was really friendly and helped us with any questions we had. the activities were well organised. we went snorkelling by the blue lagoon. wonderful
it was a little bit far from Paje (1h walk). but if you like a long walk at the beach it’s no problem 🙂
