Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff provide excellent service. Comfortable beds, spacious family rooms with seaview, and excellent beachfront location near Cocabella nightclub offer a great experience.

The My Blue Hotel is very nice and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. You can enjoy the sunset from the pool. There were always plenty of free loungers on the beach, so that you had a choice of seats at any time. The staff distributed coconuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, the food was delicious and fresh, the evening entertainment was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to anyone. The location and the beach are great. Massages are offered at the hotel at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday to the fullest. However, the internet was mostly bad. Hardly any reception in the room. This has room for improvement.

Ok hotel on the beach, but could do with a lot of refurbishment. For example the decking around the infinity pool was tatty, had several wooden boards sticking up with screw heads poking out, of which I stood on one. The sand on the lounger area was full of stones with areas of rock poking through, yet the sand on the beach was clean and soft so I couldn't understand why this was not used to replace the dirty stony sand in the main outdoor area, that we had to walk on to get anywhere. The pool bar was always full of insects and leaves etc as it was only cleaned once a day. So, when sitting in the water at the pool bar you were sitting in a stew of rubbish, really not good. The food choice was limited, and not that great. Our salvation was the daily pasta dishes that were cooked to cater for the Italian guests (the majority). This was the last of 4 hotels we had booked for our two week stay in Zanzibar. The room was ok, ie sufficient but nothing to write home about. The staff were friendly but a little disorganised compared to the other 3 hotels. However the beaches around were nice but a lot of people constantly hassling you to visit their shops ot to book a trip with them. They also had a strange system of 4 different coloured wrist bands for various guest levels, ie half board, full board, all inclusive etc. We had half board, b/fast and dinner, but had to pay for everything else including even the local drinks. Would not go back. Paul Taylor Southampton England.

My Blue Hotel is located in a beautiful garden right next to a sandy, clean beach on the beautiful Indian Ocean. The biggest advantage is the very short ebb and flow. Additionally, beautiful daily sunsets. You can basically swim and snorkel all day long. With the help of the Manager Vanessa Raposo and the Junior Manager of the restaurant, my wife's unforgettable birthday was organized. The cake was delicious and the whole show performed by the entire restaurant staff with singing and dancing was spectacular. My wife was very happy. I would like to thank all the staff of the restaurant, kitchen, bars, cleaning ladies, gardeners, repairmen, beach security men, reception staff and the entire hotel team in general who are very nice and polite. I have not seen a more beautiful beach and a more clean and beautiful color of the Indian Ocean than here in Nungwi. We also went on a 2-day safari in Tanzania mainland in Mikumi Park - amazing animals - a great experience. Swimming and feeding the turtles in the Baraka Aquarium - unforgettable as well as direct contact with where the giant tortoises were on Prisoners' Island. We were 14 days in the all-inclusive option from 15 of January to 29 of January. Room number 107

I deeply regret booking My Blue Hotel Zanzibar for our stay. The hotel’s advertised 4-star status is entirely misleading—the reality was shockingly different. Due to serious health and safety concerns, we were forced to leave after just one night, despite having paid for five nights in advance. Major Issues We Encountered: 1. Unhygienic and Poorly Maintained Rooms Rusty fixtures (mirror frame, sink, shower head) posed clear health hazards. A hole in the room door made part of our room visible from the public corridor! Basic cleanliness was nonexistent: dirty windows, stained toilet, and a generally unhygienic environment. 2. Disgusting Dining and Buffet Conditions Rusty and dirty food-serving items and drink dispensers—serious health risks. 3. Unsafe Pool and Beach Area The area was littered with trash, plastic, and debris. 4. Negligent First Aid Response Despite the hotel being nowhere near full, we were denied any compensation for the four nights we didn't stay at the hotel, which we believe was the least they could do. We had to scramble to find another hotel at the last minute, resulting in extra costs and stress that completely disrupted our vacation. Final Verdict: Do not trust the online ratings! This hotel is nowhere near 4-star quality. If you care about cleanliness, safety, and basic comfort, avoid My Blue Hotel Zanzibar at all costs.

After much research, we settled on My Blue. It was the best decision! The compound was very well maintained, excellent service, spectacular views over the beach (especially from the infinity pool), easy access to the ocean, good food, nightly entertainment, good rooms and bed. The whole place is picture perfect and we loved eating with great views of the ocean! The main area they could improve on is their meals. There’s plenty of food options but not very much really good food. More like a mediocre buffet. There was, however, always varying stations with a chef that were nice additions like the pasta station, pad Thai, fried rice, open grill. Overall, this place is a gem for the price! We’ve already recommended it to friends and wouldn’t hesitate going back sometime with our kids!

The location of the hotel on the beach is excellent, most beautiful sunset views and the infinity pool is a nice touch. There is ample space to lounge out on with the beach in view. The food was good and every night was different. Breakfast was the same every morning. The hotel however is not well maintained. While the pools, outside gardens and surroundings are neat and taken care of the rooms could do with some maintenance. The taps seemed either rusted or burnt with acid. The shower head looked like it had dried grime that cannot be cleaned. Although the room and bathroom is always kept clean it just needs some new finishing. The bar fridge never worked so the drinks were always warm. The bar fridge was so discolored (was white but now yellow) and rusted. We requested to be moved because the initial room was located close to a nearby club so the door would rattle because of the bass at the club. It was quieter where they moved us but the door couldn’t lock, one day there was no water in the bathroom so could not flush or shower. The safe was old so also struggled everytime we needed to open and close it. It really just needs some money to be spent on little things. I spoke to another guest who mentioned their aircon was leaking and that they also felt the hotel needed some care.
