    The staff are so kind and super friendly. The food was one of the best highlight of our trip here in Zanzibar. The view was super fantastic. Leah and other receptionist were super helpful to us in many ways. They helped me with payment methods even outside of the resort. It was the best experience that i wish to live for again. Highly recommend staying here during trip to Zanzibar.

    Mizingani is situated so perfectly if staying in Stone Town, we walked 150m to meet our stone town tour guide at the Old Fort. The night market is 100m away and worth seeing. Perfect for a short stay in stone town before heading to the beach resorts.

    Loved the staff and the beds were comfy. We went all inclusive. Drinks were good. Over the 4 nights it would have been good to be allowed one evening of a la carte. Plenty to do on the site. Nothing at all outside the security gates. Views from the large pools onto the sea and beyond were great. Live music was not intrusive and the bands were great.

    We booked for a short stay in stone town having been at a beach resort for the majority of our holiday in Zanzibar. Location was ok but down an alleyway which I wouldn't want to walk down at night.

    The view from this hotel is excellent. The bed was comfortable. One could walk down to the beach easily. If you are on a very tight budget, this is an ideal place to stay, do not expect the usual luxuries associated with beach resorts. If you like a rustic feel of an old inn, with weathered walkways, steps and exteriors of the buildings, then you will be at home.

    We loved the small-scale intimate style resort with beautiful jungle surroundings, excellent staff and great food! We stayed at the ocean view villa with private pool and had absolutely everything we needed. Option to have late breakfast and food in your villa is great! Staff is fantastic
