"A wonderful boutique hotel experience together with amazing gourmet food, great spa services (thanks Happy!), and roof top pool. The staff are all super friendly and every day of my 10-day stay I felt like I was coming back home. Thanks everyone at Upendo house! "

"Bodde 4 dager i Deluxerom. Litt hard seng, men romslig nye rom, stort bad med dusj. Svømmebassenget rett utfor døren var flott og rent. Frukost var den beste på vår ferietur i 3 veker på Zanzibar. Ikke middag på hotellet, men beachrestauranten ved stranda, server Antares også. Kort spasertur på 3 minutter til stranda, der solstoler/parasoller var reservert for oss hele dagen. "

"La chambre était propre "

"Resort locale ben gestito. Proprietario e personale super disponibili nel soddisfare ogni esigenza. Posizione fronte spiaggia con lettini e ombrelloni, bar e cucina sempre aperti. Situato sulla via principali con servizi e negozi locali vicini "

"Very quite, friendly staffs and good location for peace of mind."

"Proximity to the port"

"Simply the best! Authentic and has a different feel to most commercial hotels"

"Très belle situation, personnel adorable"

"The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the Forodhani Gardens and the former Slave Market. There are several restaurants closeby especially a very popular one Lukmaan. The area around the hotel is bustling in the day and quiet at night. A taxi cannot drive up to this property so you will to do a short walk through the streets to get there. The staff were friendly and always greeted us. They were helpful when we called for assistance with anything we needed to clarify...

"I paid circa $50 for one night here on a work trip. For that price I think it was a complete bargain. Location is great, no night clubs / chickens crowing next door so quiet. I didn’t have breakfast there so can’t comment on food (so many choices within a 5-10 min walk). This is not a luxury hotel like a Hyatt or Serena. Instead it’s bursting with Stone Town character, amazing location, nice bed and bathroom with lovely staff. Will stay again and willing to pay a little more. "

"Difficult to find, but once you do find it you'll be pleasantly surprised. Staff are nice and helpful, there's a nice garden-type atmosphere in the common area, and the room was clean and spotless. Breakfast was quite delicious, with a general mix of an omlette, crepes, fruit and/or vegetables; it does change if you stay more than a day. A nice place to stay if you can work remote. No TVs in the rooms for those who care."

"Gentilezza del personale, mi sono sentito a casa…"
