8/10 Very good

We had a very nice stay at Kuwa Zanzibar. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The location was great as well. The breakfast could be improved with more variety, but overall we really enjoyed our time here and felt well taken care of. Would be happy to return.

6/10 Good

Good location near the beach and has a lovely pool area. But the plants near the pool area mean there can be quite a lot of bugs and Spacious room, although the sofa bed is quite stiff and small so might be better to get a second room if booking for more than 2 people.

Les draps étaient tachés, l'odeur d'humidité forte et les équipements non fonctionnel ou en mauvais état (potentiomètre, ventilateur hs, frigo qui ne marche pas..). Bref la chambre était sympa mais peu entretenu... L'hôtel était de plus vendu avec une salle de sport que nous cherchons toujours !!point sympa également, malgré une semaine complète à 4 pour 1400€, nous avons demandé une bougie le matin pour l'anniversaire de notre fille de et

6 jours en famille en août 2026 L’hôtel est petit (moins de 15 chambres) ce qui lui donne un côté très chaleureux, intime et très calme pour bouquiner au bord de la piscine. La plage est à moins de 2 min à pied. La restauration et notamment le petit déjeuner sont très bien. Les équipes sont vraiment très agréable, toujours souriantes et serviables. Vraiment un très bon séjour au calme

10/10 Exceptional

Ho fatto 6 giorni con la mia famiglia al Kuwa e mi sono trovato benissimo. La struttura è molto bella, un piccolo boutique hotel in cui tutti gli aspetti sono molto curati. La colazione è ricca e varia. Le camere spaziose e davvero pulite. Lo staff sempre presente. Ottima la convenzione per mangiare con ristorante a lato e quella per la spiaggia a due minuti a piedi. Raccomando specialmente se avete bambini!

Petit paradis...

Excellent accueil. Personnel souriant et attentionné. Chambre très coquette, abords de la piscine bien organisé, petits espaces végétalisés, excellent et copieux petit déjeuner, très bien situé ...en bref, rien ne manque.

Godt ophold

De var meget søde og det fungerede fint med at købe 20l vand for 10$ (specielt efter de købte en el pumpe) Rummet var hyggeligt- der kom en del sand fra taget når det blæste- men hyggeligt. I Afrika er der altid noget det er i uorden Løs vandhane osv. men badet fungerede godt Fint pool område og stor morgenmad God restaurant lige ved siden af-KKB
