"The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a...

Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing experience."

Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The best part about this hotel was that everything was all inclusive. Otherwise, it's a well-maintained hotel with few amenities and beautiful gardens, we stayed at the resort all day because it's a bit isolated from most of the activities. We enjoyed the food, although at some point we felt like the food menu was not changing much. Food was limited at the buffet. Otherwise, customer service was amazing."

Tembo House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Tembo Hotel for one night before my flight and overall had a good experience. I had booked an ocean-view room, but on arrival I was initially given a different room. After I pointed this out to reception, they promptly moved me to the correct room. The only downside was that the bathroom had an unpleasant smell that I couldn’t ignore. Since I was only staying one night and was exhausted, I chose not to request another room. They also forgot to spray my room for mosquitoes while I was out at dinner. When I returned, they quickly sent someone, but it meant I had to wait outside my room while it was being treated. This was a little inconvenient since I needed to pack for my international flight and get to bed early before my airport transfer. I also wish the beautiful swimming pools stayed open later in the evening. On the positive side, I really appreciated the 24-hour food service. Being able to pre-order a takeaway breakfast for early morning delivery to my room before heading to the airport was a thoughtful touch and made my departure much easier. Overall, I’d happily stay here again."

Tembo Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is nice. However, the advertisement about tempo palace was deceiving. We thought the tempo palace was on the beach as per pictures that we saw. However, even though you have access to the beach and pools at tempo hotel, tempo palace is in a different side with old building views. We were not allowed to check in early. There were fixing the bathroom by the pool. There were dust all over the place and hanging the whole afternoon We tried to take a nap after a long flight but we couldn't bc of the noise. When we told them about the situation, they offered to give us a room on a different level on the same tempo palace which didn't make sense. We stayed where we were. The magnets tried to accomodate but they couldn't. It was disappointing. They tried to provide us a late checkout and a place to shower. We checked out early so we we had other plans. When we ask to shower, they told us a couple was using the room that we need to wait 10 min. That 10 min ended up being over one hour. It was disappointing. I had to call the manger for us to get a room to shower. I wish they make it easy for us. It was disappointing. Besides that the food was good."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Changuu Island?

The best area to stay on Changuu Island is the main accommodation area near the historic prison and the giant tortoise sanctuary.

This central part of the island is where you'll find the primary lodging options. It's concentrated around the island's most well-known attractions: the former prison building, which now houses some of the island's facilities, and the famed sanctuary for Aldabra giant tortoises. The beach directly in front of this area is where most of the island's activities, like swimming and sunbathing, take place.

For families, this area is ideal due to its proximity to the tortoise sanctuary. Children will love the opportunity to interact with these ancient creatures, and the calm, clear waters just off the main beach are great for a relaxed swim. The convenience of having everything within a short walk makes it stress-free for parents.

Couples seeking a tranquil escape will also appreciate this location. The evenings are particularly quiet, offering a peaceful setting for stargazing or enjoying the sound of the ocean.

When is the best time to go to Changuu Island?

The best time to go to Changuu Island is during the dry seasons, which run from June to October and December to February.

These periods offer consistently sunny weather with minimal rainfall, which is ideal for enjoying the island's beaches and outdoor activities. You can expect clear skies and comfortable temperatures, great for swimming, snorkelling, and exploring the island's history. The calm waters during these months are also excellent for boat trips to nearby sandbanks or for diving excursions.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find these months great for unwinding by the sea. The pleasant weather allows for uninterrupted enjoyment of the island's natural beauty and the opportunity for romantic sunset walks along the shore.

For families, the dry seasons provide the best conditions for children to play on the beaches and for everyone to comfortably partake in activities like visiting the giant tortoises without worrying about sudden downpours.
