Kiwengwa – Gistihús

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kichwa House and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the overall cleanliness and comfort of the room. The WiFi provided by the hotel was excellent. I had no issues connecting and the speed was impressive. I was able to stream my favorite shows and music, the WiFi never let me down. The breakfast was also great. From fresh fruits to eggs with toast, there was something for everyone. However, what truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff, particularly Mujahidin. He was incredibly friendly, always with a smile on his face, and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. It was a pleasure chatting with him every day. In conclusion, I highly recommend this hotel based on my experience. Plus, it’s affordable compared to the pricy hotels next to it.

The staff at Cast Away are exceedingly helpful, friendly and accommodating. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and even spoiled. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with a beach bar serving drinks. The facilities were beautiful and comfortable. I would gladly return to this hotel!

This little peace of paradise is just perfect to relax and chill. The staff are very very kind. The room was very clean, very good shower with hot water all the time, very comfy bed and pillows, just perfect!! No mosquitos in the room which is perfect. Airco available. They give you mosquito repelant for your body and also for the room (small attentions that really make you feel very well served). There is a kitchen available where you can prepare whatever you want, and the restaurant is good market. The food is delicious and prices are fair. They have in the restaurant life music 2 times a week, very good music to chill and relax !!! We were just happy to be there.

Pros: -Huge villa, with nice porch and cute little plonge pool; and perfect view onto the beach -Pongwe is THE most remote place in Zanzibar still, so book if you want total tranquility (but also lack of any kind of shop;) -Nice bedrooms, with good airco -Part of a consortium with another villa and a small restaurant.
