"This is a great choice for a relaxing break. The facilities are excellent and the hotel is more than adequately staffed, who cannot be faulted - efficient, helpful, and all with a smile on their faces. The whole place was spotlessly clean and the grounds, the beach and the garden exquisitely maintained. The quality and the variety of food available for each meal is incredible, with the menu changing every day. The two points that need attention are (1) controlling the traders on the beach so that they are not pestering anyone obviously not interested in buying anything, and (2) the luggage trolleys going along the corridors to the rooms facing the beach can be a bit noisy as those corridors can act like a bit of an echo chamber. But these are minor points in the grand scheme of things. "

"Amazing hotel with super welcoming staff. Lots of activity and incredible variety of food. Able to use facilities of other hotel next door but not other way round. "

"An amazing stay! Brilliant food, attentive staff and very relaxing. "

"Lovely place to stay. Food was ok. Room very spacious and beautifully decorated. Massage was absolutely beautiful. The staff were very attentive and friendly, the manager was a bit of an opportunist and will try get extra $$ when he gets a chance. Overall beautiful place. Would definitely recommend."

"I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area. I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely. At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled places "

"This is a beautiful hotel in a great location, right in the middle of the very long Matemwe beach. We loved everything about the hotel. Our room - a junior suite with a beach view and balcony - was gorgeous and very large. There was a view of the ocean from every room, including the shower, and the room was very clean and comfortable in every way. The restaurant is also excellent as is the bar (better cocktails than most places in East Africa). Our favorite dish was the ceviche, but everything was great. The pools, lobby, lounging areas were all beautiful as well. Also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, who arranged activities including a snorkeling and dolphin trip to Mmemba atoll. The hotel also offers excellent massages onsite and a free yoga class twice a week. We just loved everything about this hotel and would happily return here."

"This is a well run hotel with basic facilities. The problem is the beach. It is full of rocks and sea urchins making it unusuable. No one was swimming in the sea. This should be made clear as not everyone wants to swim in the pool."

"We really looked forward to staying at the Zanzibar Queen given other reviews. It didnt disappoint. Fantastic location in beautifully kept grounds. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The pool area was clean and enticing. There was also boules, volleyball and badminton available to keep the body exercised. As well as table tennis and darts. The restaurant was superb. Ingredients and dishes were varied and akin to fine dining. Resort felt very private although effectively right on the beach. Rooms well decorated, hot showers and balconies facing the stunning indian ocean. A top recommendation and thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well."
