AI SummaryAn AI-summarised snapshot of real guest reviews
Guests appreciate the hotel's friendly staff, excellent breakfast, stunning views near Zanzibar Town, and comfortable, well-decorated rooms with balconies. However, they find the food and drink prices overpriced and not reflective of quality.

Nice environment , calm to rest. The staff is really professional giving a deep introduction of the hotel before checking in. The management even allowed us to check out late to be able to visit the stone town before leaving the hotel. Will definitely come back .

Let me talk about the advantages first. It looks like a designer hotel here. It is carefully designed everywhere, full of features, and you can shoot blockbuster movies everywhere.
There are also many disadvantages. First of all, the location is remote and the price is not cheap. Except that the hotel has two kayaks, there are no sea sports. The beach is also not good, because it is a fishing village nearby, so it is dirty and rocky.
The food is very delicate, too delicate, which makes you feel a little hungry.
The unexpected joy is that the nearby fishing village can buy seafood caught by local fishermen every day. The price is unbelievably cheap. Bring your own hot pot bottom material and let the hotel help with processing. It will definitely satisfy the stomach of foodies.
The hotel is built according to the terrain. The up and down is not very friendly to families with children. It is suitable for couples to travel

The worst hotel I stayed in ZANZIBAR … They don’t get back to you when you call The Wi-Fi work good only around the reception Check in took 2 hours with unprofessional stuff and the first thing he asked after we get the room is ( when you’re checking out tomorrow) !!!! The stuff want us to pay 75 usd because he will add one person to the room although we are only 3 ppl and we reserve 2 rooms for 4 adults !!!! One room was too hot and they moved us after 1 hour to another room same category There are worms and bugs on the bed in this five-star hotel THE ONLY THING GOOD IN THAT HOTEL IS THE RESTAURANT AND THE STUFF WORKING THERE

The hotel sits on the ruins of an ancient palace. Each room was a private cottage and the ocean views are spectacular. The resort is small very quaint and exceptional. The food prepared tremendous. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. We felt very safe at this location especially since it is guarded by the Massai!

We felt so comfortable staying at this hotel, and the staff did everything in their power to make it a perfect stay.
We had an amazing stay at Chuini Beach Lodge. The hotel is a perfect size if you don’t like the big commercialized resorts, and are looking for a more personal experience. The service was definitely the best we experienced in Zanzibar (we stayed at different hotels). In addition, it’s location makes it super easy to visit Stone Town and the northern part of the island. However, you won’t get the crystal blue water on this side of the island, so I’d recommend to combine your stay at Chuini with some days on the East coast to experience the beautiful water Zanzibar has to offer.

I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! The property is gorgeous. The plants were beautiful and well cared for. The option of 2 pools was appealing. I loved the welcoming drink. Staff lugged by baggage to my room. I was afraid I wouldn't have enough money for dinner, but boy, was I glad I went. The entertainment was amazing. Food was great and the service impeccable. I wanted to take all of your staff home with me, they were so welcoming, friendly, helpful. You arranged for the transport from the airport to the hotel. It worked out great. I treated myself to a massage and it was wonderful. I can't say anything bad about the property. The only thing I was somewhat wanting was a gift shop. I would love to have purchased a tee shirt or a cap with Chuini or Bububu Zanzibar on it. There were plenty of things like that in Stonetown, but not with Chuini or Bububu on it. The next time I come (I must come back), I hope to stay there and do outings from the property. I wish you much success and I can't wait to return!

Staff super friendly, lodge and nature are very nice and relaxing. You are staying in nature though and can hear all the sounds at night. On the weekends music from the hotel next door might drift over but still very nice stay. Breakfast is amazing and the dinner menu was also very good! Two pools to choose from and peace and quiet during the stay. Stone town is around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic so great location.

I joined a small group of friends for a 10-day trip to Zanzibar. I had planned to stay at Chuini only part of the time so I could explore other regions and guest houses, but I was so impressed with the attentive service and high-quality Whole Foods that I couldn’t help but stay the entire time! The staff is top notch and the management is very responsive. If blessed with the chance to return to Zanzibar again, I would certainly return to Chuini Lodge.
