"Absolutely amazing experiences. The beaches in the area are not amazing (although are very nice at high tide), but that said the hotel itself is enough of a destination to make it perfect for an extended stay. The staff is amazing and very attentive. The hotels amenities itself are far beyond the 3 star standard listed, especially given the local standards. Really stands out against all the local experiences. "

"I stayed here in Jan 2026 and it was the most beautiful stay. From the moment I entered this property to the moment I left, everything was just wonderful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was one of the best hotel rooms I have stayed in. Clean, stylish, spacious and the service here was always good."

"Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure you were happy. The hotel was clean and the pool quiet and beautiful. Beach access was great and the view from our room was stunning. It was a great place to relax after climbing Kilimanjaro! Only issue was limited range of food, particularly for vegetarians. "

"Simply the best place we’ve ever stayed. Perfect"

"My stay at Blue Reef was nothing short of magical. I truly felt like I was home and by the end of my visit, the staff felt like my extended family. They remembered me, cared for me, and made me feel genuinely special through the smallest, most meaningful gestures from offering me fresh passion fruit when I simply asked to take a photo of it, to inviting me behind the bar to show me how their fresh juice is made. The sunrises and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking some of the most beautiful moments I experienced in Zanzibar. One of the highlights of my stay was requesting an off-menu dish: ugali. The chef personally came out to ask how I liked the meal, which turned out to be the most delicious food I’ve had since arriving in Tanzania. My time in Zanzibar and especially at Blue Reef was pure magic. I’m beyond grateful for the warmth, hospitality, and unforgettable memories, and I cannot wait to return with my family."

"Staff were courteous and friendly. Breakfast was a little sparse but the location and outdoor facilities were great. I stayed in a room facing the ocean. Fantastic. Much better than a pool room. Should note that this hotel will not refund cancellations even though their policy says so. Beware. "

"There is nothing to fault. Staff were amazing, food was delicious. The hotel was tranquil and very restorative. The beach was beautiful. All amenities were great, but the staff, they stood out, they were truly wonderful. Thank you to everyone. "

"The breakfast was amazing 👏.... the staff were friendly 😀 and the view was beautiful plus it was very clean with the beautifully room 😊 "

"The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable. The venue is beautiful with a chilled vibe. The breakfast was big, although the same every day. Be careful with the pool. It is made of concrete and damages the clothing and the greenery around the pool although beautiful it leaves your swimsuit with yellow stains. The restaurant is overpriced, but the staff is nice. Close to the hotel there are other restaurants which one can visit with better prices"
