    Well swept and well kept. Polite staff. No TV in room. No assistance offered with baggage at check out

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Great location, nice private beach, rooms are spacious and light, very comfortable bed and pillows, we had amazing sleep. Didn’t use any of the pools but they look nice. Hotel territory is big enough for evening walk during high tides. Also big thank you to the team for cake and special attention for our son birthday. Water from the shower is coming to the room. It’s not a big problem but maybe something hotel could look into.

    It was okay however I felt I could get more value for what I paid for. The staff are really nice

    My family recently enjoyed a stay at Dhow Inn, and we couldn’t have had a nicer time. Everyone on staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing, pools felt very private and well-maintained, beach location was idyllic and the service was perfect. Rooms were very spacious, clean, well appointed and with comfortable beds. The excursions we booked through the hotel were also great - we snorkeled with sea stars, visited monkeys in Jozani National Park, and they even helped arrange our safari in mainland Tanzania. I hope we can visit again soon!

    Super friendly staff, great location by the beach! Our family loved the dinner options - you could enjoy the buffet or have ala carte at a table on the sand.

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    Food, sushi restaurant and options of pools Access to beach and private beach area could have been bigger

  • Engine customer Feb 2025

    Nice room near beach, ok lounge space and ok pool, cute garden Food very poor choice at buffet maybe the worst I have seen like 5 choices and all pretty bad, if you order a la cart food is okay nothing wow but you pay more for that of course The hotel Beach is pretty bad also, sunbeds not comfortable and dirty

    Situated in a great location, the hotel is priced very well, and had great amenities. The pool access and placement of rooms is ideal.

    Ala carte food was amazing. Hotel is near the beach and has all facilities you need. Nice and huge rooms, friendly staff, a lot of cats. You need to call reception for every filling up of small glass bottle of water because there is not allowed to bring your own water, food or drinks. After 10 pm you need also to pay for bottle of water (5000ths for 2 bottles) what we see very uncommon. Pools were not clean, our swimsuits colored yellow.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Very relaxed & calm environment. The hotel is very clean & well maintained overall. We could see that much effort has been put into establishing a high level of customer care & and professionalism, but still room to grow. Friendliness & smiles...10/10. Ground level rooms lack natural light & privacy curtains for daytime living. Following an upgrade, we can highly recommend the upper level rooms with terrace splash pool. This room made our experience all worthwhile. Although senior management appears to be driving a higher service delivery, we never saw them. There was zero customer interaction from management. All credit to the staff who did represent.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    One of the most beautiful hotel I have stayed in such a good location, 4 swimming pools, amazing staff, spa, food and drinks Everything was perfect - drinks were a little slow

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    Well appointed and the staff were lovely. Buffet was limited and the same menu provided for a la carte for all days we were there. The a la carte was slow in service and 2 nights we had no availability for buffet - due to low occupancy, but still had to make a reservation for dinner - we found this weird. Not a fault of the property but we didn’t have the best experience in our Stone Town and Spice Farm tour - for the money - as our guide didn’t know anything about StoneTown.

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    We had a wonderful stay in a great atmosphere especially at night, the staff was very helpful at all times and very nice breakfast. The rooms are spacious, cosy and very good beds.
