The feel and comfort of the Hotel.

The beach nearby is really not nice, for the nice one you will have to walk or drive( staff will give you directions gladly).

Honestly, I loved almost everything about this place and will book it again without heaitation: there is great colonial vibe, tasty meals, super friendly and helpful staff, absolutely stuning bay view from the hill, beautiful garden with huge mango tree and the best white massala tea i’ve had. It is certainly the nice place, if you are looking for some peace and quit…

The power outrage every night

Was a good hotel with helpful staff but the only problem is the electricity which for 2 continuous days went off for nearly 4 hrs during the night .

Our room was not very nice as in pictures , the bed was not comfortable and there was not mattress cover, so it was not just like that hygienic! The bathroom to be restored since is old and not so nice!

Manor house was very good, the house has a fantastic garden, quiet and romantic place and an amazing view to the sea! Personal had been kind and available

The beach is in an appalling state, covered with plastic and litter. Big disappointment, since we were planning to bathe. Also, we thought the hotel closer to donwton. We had to take taxi to Stonetown, and the price was always changing from 10 to 15 $.

Breakfast was ok, not much choice and not very savoury.

Generator malfunctioned during a stay a week earlier when the city faced power failures and that caused a lot of discomfort I am glad that we could come back and savor the place during our second stay.

This is a boutique hotel with immense character, it has lovely sea views and genuine old world charm with wood paneled roofing, sprawling verandahs and terraces! It is old world luxury! The food served was simple and delicious. The location is very close to the airport and a short drive from Stone town.

No facilities and not much to enjoy in the surroundings. There was a pathway leading to the beach, but we were informed the beach is not worth the effort of going there.

Awesome customer service from Richard and the kitchen staff

The Hotel is located on a hill with a great view surrounded by greenery. It is a small green oasis with a beautiful terrace where you can relax very well. My room had a large comfortable bed and everything I needed. The breakfast could be put together from a manu card and it was very tasty. The fresh juices are incredibly delicious. I can also highly recommend the dinner menu. But the best thing is the friendliness of the staff! A big thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖 goes especially to Diana, Richard and Sada! Thank you very much. Asante sana!! 🫶

I went to the beach once and did not go back. It’s full of plastic and guys hang out in the mangroves. The shower could be improved with an above head height mount, rather than the current chest/stomach height mount.

Love the secluded location. Beautiful architecture, decor and surrounds. Room was huge! The most flavoursome food I had in Zanzibar. Staff weee attentive and helpful. Hot water was nice and hot!

The mosquito net was too tight and couldn't cover the whole bed. We got lots of bites :( The bathroom is old and outdated compared to the renovation from the room.

The building has great decor and style. Room was big with sea view and sharing balcony. The restaurant from the hotel is great with fair pricing and delicious food.

We were not given the room that we booked. The room that we were given was very small and packed with 2 single beds together with a double bed. There was no closet to pack our clothes yet we were staying for 3 nights.

The Area was good. The food, fresh juice, coconut source was superb!!! The staff was very good, friendly and welcoming.

The room was ok for one night, they have air conditioning, however the exterior noise didn’t allow a good sleep. The bathroom should be improved.

The staff was very friendly! And we really enjoyed the garden and silence during the day.

Bathrooms were small and shower too Close to toilets.

We had an overnight stay due to our flight arriving early in the morning.. we got go hotel at 2am and was still greeted and shown to our rooms with pleasure. Breakfast was good and staff are friendly.

I didn't mind that the beach wasn't pristine white sands. It is a mangrove, stone and pebbles beach and not super clean but okay to take in the ocean and sunsets. I am more of a beach comber and like different aspects of beaches/ water fronts including the mangrove trees, rocks and pebbles. If you like swimming in the ocean, then maybe stay here a night or two then move on elsewhere. No swimming pool from what I saw but I did not miss it as there were other things to do - excursions.

Serene country house on a tropical Island that could easily make an appearance in an Agatha Christie book. Clean, calm, picturesque, and excellent service. I could have stayed longer. Fantastic breakfast and special dietary needs met upon request. The Manor's own brewed iced-tea was lovely. Easy access at the back of the property to the mangrove tree lined beach (not pristine white sands), and local fishing community. Great location for a stop over to or from the airport (5 mins drive) especially if your flight checks in late or if you have an early morning flight to catch. Check in here for a night or few nights then head out to other cleaner pristine beaches for a longer stay eg Nungwi, Paje, Jambiani, etc. For those not keen to stay in Stone Town itself, the Manor is a great location for Stone Town tours (5mins drive) and also for the spice farms and other excursions on the western side of the island.

A bit far from the Stonetown if you want to go there (we did not).

Lovely place, spectacular view and lovely garden. Wifi in room was a plus. Very friendly staff and especially the waitress was lovely. Good food and very good breakfast.

Clean room with everything you need. Bathroom could be renovated but for a one night stay everything was OK. Ali the waiter is very nice. Nice garden view with a little bit sea view.

Would have welcomed a comfy chair in the room, but that's all I can think of!

What a wonderful place to spend a few days in Zanzibar! Arriving at the airport at 0830, the car that the hotel had booked was waiting for me. At the hotel, I was warmly welcomed and offered a drink which I took on the terrace that looks directly over to the Indian Ocean - palm trees gently swaying, the banana plantation below. Although I'd arrived ridiculously early, by 1030 my room was ready for me which was very welcome after a long flight. I made use of the access to the beach which is reached down steps through the banana trees, and was greeted warmly by the occasional local person walking to and fro. Extremely peaceful, and very pretty. Food in the hotel was reasonably priced and very tasty - I had lunch, dinner and breakfast at different points during my brief stay. Comfortable bed, ample hot water, mosquito prevention measures every evening.

You could add more foods on the menu, but this was just a minor issue.

Nice, quiet place . Perfect for relaxing. The room was very well organized and clean. We loved the beach tour and the neighboring environment.
