This hotel is a DISASTER! We booked to stay for the last four nights of our holiday in Tanzania (which was great until this point). It soon became obvious why there were no other guests booked in to stay for tour week - the place was empty! Our room only had two beds (we had made it clear that we had two adult children). The air con didn’t work. There was no power in the room when we arrived. The beach was hopeless (the photos on the website are deceiving) and only swimmable for a short time each day. When we tried to cancel I was not allowed to speak to the relevant people….dirty loos, broken hammocks, not cared for at all DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL.

Great Food! Nice Service! Beautiful setting at the beach. The garden is a little paradise with yellow birds that build their globular nests in the tree‘s branches everywhere and coconuts falling down ready to be opened and tasted. Anna of Zanzibar is a local runned hotel, 1 1/2 h from the airport at the eastern coast in Dongwe. Calm, relaxed, just holiday!

It surpassed my expectations! What can I say about Anna of Zanzibar, as a sole female traveller looking for a peaceful setting with amazing food and beautiful location, I couldn't have asked for more. Located about 15 mins from Paje (the closest town). If I wanted a change of scenery it was only a short taxi ride. The food at the hotel was wonderful I ate there pretty much every night, the staff were friendly and helpful. Just an amazing place.

I spent my day at Anna of Zanzibar with a friend , we were taken care of by Candy. She gave us space and also took amazing care of us. The Menus need some TLC, the cocktail I had was not good, but the service made up for that. Lovely place, I will be back.

I chose this hotel thanks to the comments of previous guests and I confirm what I read : very nice comfortable rooms, well equipped and very clean. The staff very friendly and do all their best to satisfy customers, special thank to Laurent who waited for us 1 in the morning for our late arrival, Irene who take care of us for almost all breakfast and when she was not there her colleagues did all their best, Abbas who was very professional and very nice, many thanks to all the staff from security to reception to restaurant to all. Why not 5 star than ? Because the water for the shower and in the robinet is so salty that my daughter has skin issue, it is not dangerous but I think that something that should be improved to be five star hotel, I learned that water is an issue in all Zanzibar and the hotel is doing his best to provide drink water each day (6 bottles each day) I will chose for sure this hotel in future stay as I found my ease and I liked it very much.

We picked Anna because the reviews were good but we were sorely disappointed. On the positive side - the staff were very cordial, you'll have the beach almost to yourself, the garden is beautiful, it's a peaceful, green environment here. On the downside: the approach is almost a kilometre of pure stone, bumpy dirt road. The rooms smelled musty, and unaired. Lotsms of things had a layer of dust on them. There is ONLY salt water in the taps, it's almost seawater. There is also no health faucet in the toilet. When we complained the hotel manager took the time to tell us that they had a management change a few months ago, and so are in the process of fixing some things - like a water treatment system (something all other hotels in the area seem to have). For the steep price they charge, they are not on par with their peers. And if they are in the process of improving services - well, that's not really the customer's problem. I wish they had been clear about that. Also note, this is not a Pili Pili property anymore.

A wonderful place 🥰🥰🥰 If someone wants to escape from the gray reality and relax, I highly recommend it. An oasis for body and soul. Very nice employees, they do their best. Amos, Candy, you are all great!!!! The cleaning ladies also provide new bedding every day, and a bed is prepared for you to sleep in in the evening. This is not the case in any five-star hotel. Mr. Przemek, the owner of the hotel, is available on WhatsApp at any time. A very nice and helpful person. He helped us organize three great trips in Polish. Our guide Zube was great and spoke Polish very well. It's true that salty water comes out of the shower, but you get used to it. However, your hair feels great in this water. there is no better mask. Beautiful sunrise 🌞 Tides and low tides. Walks At the shore of the ocean Another world 😊 People here are very cordial. They don't have much, but believe me, they are happier than us 😔😔😔

One night spent in this hotel and it was already too much. With the exception of the garden, the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff. This hotel is unfortunately abandoned. Plastic bottle next to deck chairs, electrical cable sheaths visible everywhere outside, debris here and there, and worst of all, the room: Bad air conditioning (I looked at the air conditioning filters, they were black with dirt , never cleaned), very very dirty switches and walls, obviously never cleaned either, bed mosquito net with holes, mini fridge empty and off, so no mini-bar, broken sofa unusable at risk of passing through the seat, wires exposed electrics (you take the juice by touching the lamp), no door closes correctly (neither the cupboards nor the French windows), the sugar made available next to the coffee maker was moldy. Shower: salt and cold water only, frames on the wall crooked... In short, 300 USD per night for 4 people, it borders on a scam. It's 3 times too expensive for the room. We were the only guests, which surprised me upon arriving at the hotel but not after spending one night there. There is no management, no manager, this hotel is truly abandoned. The owner must delete his website or update it because it no longer corresponds to reality at all. Needless to say, we do not recommend this hotel at all, wrongly rated as 5* on TripAdvisor.

After 3 years of a pandemic and 1 year of heavy international unrest, my husband and I decided that we had enough, we wanted to unplug, disconnect from the world, look for some serenity, at least for a while. So we decided to spend 17 days in this resort. Things have changed compared to what we read in the reviews: the owner who treated guests like family is no longer there, and the new owners have left the management of the resort to the staff. However, this hasn't changed things much, because the staff is wonderful, we have to thank everyone, from the gardeners, to the girls who clean the bungalows EVERY day, to the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant, to the security people, to the new manager, Laurent, for their courtesy, their joie de vivre, their interest in all guests, their tranquility. The resort is quite small, made up of 6 bungalows, two of which are directly on the beach, and the others hidden in the beautiful tropical garden kept to perfection by gardeners who are just as friendly as the rest of the staff. There is also a central building, which houses the reception, with a beautiful library and vintage local art objects, and the restaurant. Throughout the resort there is WiFi, which also works very well from the rooms and the beach, and air conditioning in all rooms. It is a different, but very relaxing experience, having breakfast at the restaurant, where there is no buffet, but you are served with simplicity, yet cordiality, by the always smiling waitresses and waiters, always with words of kindness. While we had breakfast, it was also interesting to watch how little yellow birds built their round nests upside down on the leaves of the palm trees. Or a couple of little monkeys eating leaves at the top of the trees, without bothering anyone. Our bungalow was one of two on the beach: it is very large, has two bedrooms and a huge bathroom. The furnishings are vintage here too, and fit very well with the atmosphere of the place. Furthermore, there is a beautiful patio, equipped with a sofa and an armchair, both outdoor, both vintage like the rest of the furniture. This is where we spent most of our evenings, enjoying the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the shore, very close by, and the evening breeze. At Anna di Zanzibar there is no entertainment, evening shows, or music. But we also liked this, precisely because we wanted to disconnect, to be at peace. By day, you can sunbathe in one of the resort's private beach cabanas, or take excursions to nearby beaches, or even rent a boat from locals, and head out to the coral reef and snorkel. Near the resort there is also a diving center, where, if you want, you can go diving. The beach outside the resort is also very beautiful,
