The guest experience

Loved most

  • Excellent location (beachfront, near restaurants/attractions)
  • Very friendly and welcoming staff (Agnes, Yusuf, Siti mentioned)
  • Beautiful property with lovely pools
  • Well-equipped gym
  • Nice spa and well-maintained facilities

Worth knowing — Perceived as overpriced / limited value for money · 2% card surcharge; cash not readily accepted · Rooms can be small and bed narrow; photos sometimes misleading · Slow housekeeping/turndown service at times · Occasional noise in evenings/nearby streets and party atmosphere · Beach service inattentive in some areas; limited beach quality

How guests scored the stay

  • Service10.0

    Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, helpful and welcoming (named staff: Agnes, Yusuf, Siti); some isolated lapses (beach attentiveness, dining-plan confusion) but overall excellent hospitality.

  • Location10.0

    Location is a standout feature — beachfront setting and close to restaurants/attractions; several reviewers call the location exceptional.

  • Amenities9.4

    Pools, gym and spa receive strong positive mentions; property well maintained and well equipped, though spa is considered pricey and lacked disposable massage garments in one report.

  • Overall Experience9.4

    Overall very positive stays and willingness to return/recommend, balanced by the noted issues around value, occasional noise and service gaps in specific areas (beach, hours).

  • Food and Beverage8.3

    Mixed but generally good: Marigold praised, Sexy Fish OK but not always matching expectations, breakfast described as simple for the price and some staff confusion about dining plans.

  • Cleanliness8.2

    Generally acceptable cleanliness but a few reports of slow room cleaning and delayed turndown service.

  • Value for Money7.9

    Several reviewers felt the hotel is overpriced for what it offers; explicit complaints about a 2% card surcharge and limited value from half-board dining.

  • Room Quality7.2

    Mixed feedback: bathrooms liked but rooms described as small, photos not always accurate, narrow bed for couples and missing fittings (handheld shower attachment/toilet spray).

    “I like the property location, staff was great the restaurant options with wonderful views. They had a good breakfast that was free. Lots fresh fruit. Walking distance to lots of things. Restaurant that support everyone's budget. Anything you need the staff will take care of it quickly. Everyone seems in good spirits and it puts the guess in good spirits as well. They will help you with any need you have by way of taxi or information.”

  • Hotel molto bello e con una delle poche spiagge che puoi farti il bagno anche con bassa marea

    “We had the most amazing stay at The Z Hotel, and honestly, what made the experience so special was the people. From the moment we arrived, exhausted after travelling overnight, we were welcomed with so much warmth and energy. I believe it was Naima who checked us in, and she was an absolute breath of fresh air! Her huge smile, upbeat personality, laughs and jokes genuinely brought us back to life after a long journey. Within minutes, we were smiling and excited, and it set the tone for the holiday ahead. A very special mention has to go to Pratiksha, the Guest Relations Manager. We had requested a room change shortly after arriving, and despite the short notice, she went out of her way to accommodate us. She handled everything with such kindness, understanding and professionalism, and it completely changed our headspace. Suddenly, we could relax, settle in and really start enjoying our holiday. We were incredibly grateful for how she handled it. But what really stood out throughout our stay was that this level of service wasn’t limited to one or two people — it was EVERYONE. From the team at breakfast, the beachcomber, the security guards opening the beach gates, the gentlemen helping with our luggage, to the staff welcoming us at the hotel entrance — everyone greeted us with genuine smiles and kindness and was always willing to go the extra mile. Even the smallest things impressed us. We sent some clothes for laundry expecting them back the following day, as stated, and by that same evening everything had already been beautifully returned and laid out on our bed. It’s those little touches that make you feel truly looked after. The Z Hotel itself is beautiful, but it’s the people who really make this place special. We came away with such wonderful memories of Zanzibar, and this hotel and its incredible team were a huge part of that. Thank you, Pratiksha, Naima and the entire Z Hotel team for making our holiday so memorable.”
