Zoi Boutique Hotel

Very nice hotel. Worth the money. Good location and good service.

We didn't slept there, only dinner there. We eat a wonderful seafood plate with Lobster Octopus Fish Shrims Calamares Rice with Coconut and Curry Sauce Potatoe Ships All for 45 USD for 2 persons. Our best meal in Zanzibar! Totally recommend this place to eat. Eunice, wonderful waiter!

We were a group of 7 adults / 4 rooms. The entire hotel staff was very attentive and friendly. Our rooms were on the ground level. We knew that the rooms do not have air conditioning, but the heat of the rooms surprised us. The sea breeze doesn't get to cool the downstairs rooms, so sweat flowed every night :-). The rooms were clean, but the water and drainage issues were not completely in order. During the week, all rooms needed maintenance. Some things were taken care of quickly, some needed several requests. The restaurant's food was better than our other experiences on the beach.

We loved our stay. Paradise on earth! Great retreat on the beach full of palm trees with very cosy pool area overlooking the ocean. Food at the restaurant was fantastic and always fresh. The rooms were spacious with living in nature feeling. Guests were all very respectful of each other. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation!

When we arrived at the hotel around 1 pm , there was nobody at the reception. We waited for a long time for checking in . They gave us a second floor room since I paid for the junior suit, so , I believe the standard room is on the ground floor . There is no a/c and there is no fridge in the room . The shower looks like a cave . Lack of a/c didn't bother us though , I think the trees provided shade and kept temps cooler . The gardens around the rooms are nice , full of trees and big leaf tropical plants . When we arrived , we were hungry and ate lunch at the hotel restaurant , it was nothing special . Beach is less crowded , but you get followed by the beach boys. We stayed two nights , We ate other lunches and dinners at retreat hotel next door , their food was tastier and their staff didn't stare like some of the zoi staff . We tried one local restaurant on the beach since they had good reviews , and we were disappointed . My wife had a massage in the spa and she said it was good. First night we were ok with no mosquitos, but second night we had a mosquito problem . Overall , it was ok , but maybe pricy for what they offer , I saw some other beach hotels while doing the beach walk , I would compare other hotels' prices before booking here.

Very nice quite hotel if you wish to have calm an intimate holidays. Staff is very helpful and attentive.

We had an amazing stay, it's a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved the pool and the staff were super friendly. The food was excellent but similar to western prices. The taxi service is much more expensive than other hotels so we just ended up booking our taxis through a different hotel. For example I got quoted 80USD for a return trip to Nungwi and we payed 40USD when booking through another hotel on the same beach.

I loved the place so much. It was a 10/10 and if I ever come back to Zanzibar, I am definitely coming back to Zoi boutique hotel again. Lovely place with lovely staff, they were all very nice to me and I highly recommend this hotel. Bahatt made the best cocktails lol and loved all the staff. Loving people Hussein, Izaiah, Prisca and others, I don’t remember the other names. But best experience Loved my room, it was so beautiful and comfortable

The zoi is located on a beautiful quiet beach with a lovely pool facing it. The rooms are large and very rustic, but comfortable with a large bed with netting and a balcony to sit out to see the ocean. Rustic also means no air con or tv but we didn’t care about that, this is a place to relax. All the staff were lovely, we have to single out neema for a special thank you. There is an excellent local restaurant for fish opposite the gate - Malin - too.
