The rooms are stunning- spacious and beautiful design. The bed was very comfortable too. The bathtub in the room was a very nice touch. The staff were amazing, always polite and friendly. The restaurant could also accommodate my gluten-free diet for breakfast. This was one of our best hotel experiences ever.

A wonderful Resort where you might feel like Tarzan and Jane in the midst of jungle. If it wasn't for the most friendly and helpful staff. And if it wasn't for the kitchen, every bite a delight, be it breakfast or dinner. The birthday-surprise will make a lifetime memory!

There is so much to say about this lovely hotel! The staff members are incredibly kind and always available to assist whenever you need them. They decorated our room for my fiancé’s birthday surprise and even offered us a small bento cake. It was so cute! Regarding the location, the hotel is only about 35 minutes from the airport and close to Paje, but it’s a bit far from the northern part of the island. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and offer a beautiful view of the pool and the beach — especially the Mafia 1 room. The food was delicious, and the scent inside the rooms was simply divine. I was in love with it! Even our clothes came back from the laundry smelling amazing. The spa is cute, and the massage was relaxing — I truly recommend it. The ladies there really know what they’re doing!

We stayed at Maharaja Hotel in Zanzibar and the experience exceeded all expectations! We chose the beachfront villa with a jacuzzi (not heated), and the breathtaking view together with the perfect location right on the shore felt like paradise. The hotel is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and very well maintained, creating a truly relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Anastasia and the entire team were simply wonderful – kind, professional, and always with a smile – and made us want to stay even longer. A dream vacation we would love to return to. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a mix of beauty, tranquility, and top-quality service!

All five-star hotels in Zanzibar City

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

The Hotel is one of the nicest on the island. However you can’t compare with a 5 star on Europe. But for the island is a nice one. The staff is super helpful.

for a 5 star hotel, it probably is by Zanzibar hotel ratings which you should not confuse with normal 5 star hotels. Very difficult to find anything wrong, but then again very difficult to find anything great about it
