Booked here because it said it had AC which didn’t work and nobody was interested in helping. The local people in Zanzibar are so lovely except for here where the staff are rude and miserable. There are far better places to stay in the area with much better value for money. Stay clear if this awful place!

After our super memorable and adventurous safari we flew back to Zanzibar to spend some time in Kiwengwa. Our first stay for a week was here at White Dream , a cozy little place directly on the beach! It couldn’t have been more direct!! On arrival we received an excellent warm and super friendly welcome from Ivana and we were immediately made to feel right at home.! She showed us to our room (room4) which was bright and spacious with a big comfortable double bed and also a single (very useful for the storage of our case) The bathroom too was beautifully laid out, with a large nice clean mirror over the basin, a huge walk-in shower and a useful bidet. The restaurant was cozy with ambient lighting and the food too was excellent, both for breakfast, a quick lunch and dinner. The cheese burger in particular was extremely nice especially with the accompanied fries! A little too large for me for lunch, but it was so good I just had to eat it all! The Carbonara at dinner time was more than yummie; I consider myself quite an expert when it comes to Carbonara , and I have to say that this was one of the best I’ve had for a long long time ... so a huge Asante Sana to the person responsible for making such a delight. At this point it’s also worth mentioning that if you only wanted half portions of something that this was never a problem - especially with the pizzas, you could have one with 2 different topppings. The restaurant staff are all lovely darling girls, polite and always helpful! In fact, ALL the staff - every single one of them - at White Dream were great! A couple of nights I had “dinner for one” due to my husband not being very well. Thank you Ivana for your concern and for making sure that I was ok!! You are a darling!... the hug helped a lot! The white soft talcum powder beach was no more than 10 steps away from our bedroom , a pure delight... and I once again walked for miles meeting various people along the way, saying many “Jambo’s” and making new friends. I was totally 100% in my element ! I was happy also to have met Martha, the sweet Maasai girl making her jewellery under a big tree on the beach.. I am still wearing the bracelets she made! Ivana, if you should see her, please remind me to her..she’s only a few steps away.. Thank you to all the girls in the restaurant; Malima, Tatu,Anna,Juliette, Monnalisa & Imelda ? To Evelyn and Asha in housekeeping ? Also of course to all the kitchen staff and chefs and not forgetting Ali and Silima and guardian Makame for keeping us safe. I for one would come back right now if I could... . magic me over please! ?

Hôtel agréable 9 chambres dans un village loin des coins touristiques. Tres grande plage à 5min à pied seulement. Nous avons apprécié la prise en charge par l’équipe sur place (ISaa, Raphaël, Antonio, Tina, Bedrum, Ilyâs alias « masterchef » ainsi que la femme de chambre) La réception a eu une jolie approche pour notre anniversaire de mariage champagne ☺️ et une demi journée offerte pour faire du snorkelling que nous avons adoré. Ils ont tous été au petit soin et ultras réactifs pour répondre à nos besoins et toujours avec le sourire… QUEL DYNAMISME ? TOOP et toujours au petit soin ! Assanti sana…

Unit on the lower floor advertised as "Ocean View" is completely false. Unit is old with musty/moldy smell Take your own taxi (not the Host's taxi) incase you have to find another hotel in a hurry. Several good hotels nearby that are much cleaner. Pay for one night only upfront. Host will not refund your money.

HORRIBLE

Reviewed By tifrose519

We were very excited that this hotel was on our itinerary because this would be the only hotel with a pool that we were staying at during our trip. The location was difficult to find. From the photos, it looked like the hotel is on beach level but it is actually up a steep staircase from the beach. When we finally found it, the first thing we noticed was that there was no water in the pool. There went our excitement. Before checking in, I told them that we were going to find another place to stay because what we saw in person was not what was presented in the photos online nor did the website or staff mention anything about the pool being closed prior to our arrival. They convinced us to stay with an upgraded room and offered to pay for us to use a neighboring hotel's pool so we agreed. My son was earlier bit by a stray dog so on our arrival, we had a Tanzanian friend with us who was helping us with the difficult situation and guiding us as we needed to travel to a hospital to get him care. We were hungry after checking in and wished to eat at the restaurant. We were told that the restaurant was under construction so we had to eat in our room. We waited 2 hours for the food to come. When the food arrived, it was very basic, definitely not worth a 2 hour wait or the price. Our friend stayed with us for dinner. After eating, the hotel staff asked us to have him leave or said we could pay an extra $50 per night for him to stay. With my son not feeling well and us needing someone to be with us to go to the hospital and the fact that the pool and restaurant were out of service, we again decided that we wanted to leave the hotel to find another more comfortable place. I told them I understand the extra charge for our friend to stay but that we have decided it is best to just look for other accommodations. We started to pack up or things and at that point chaos ensued. They proceeded to tell me that we CANNOT leave the hotel as we have a reservation and NEED to stay there. I had already paid for for 2 nights online months prior, so they had my money and there was absolutely no reason why we needed to stay there. Once we had all of our belongings packed and ready to go, we walked toward the lobby to leave. The staff LOCKED every exit door and surrounded us and refused to let us out of the hotel. They told me that my kids and I had to stay the night and that our friend should go out to sleep ON THE STREET and we could see him in the morning! By this time, it was late, close to midnight. My son was feeling sick and I was worried about him having a fever after the dog bite. I begged them to let us go so we could bring him to the hospital. There were 2 ladies that proceeded to LAUGH at me and tell me whether I like it or not, we WILL be staying at their hotel. I begged the security guard to let us out of the door and he just brushed it off and said he didn't understand English. They held us hostage for OVER AN HOUR refusing to let us leave. I was finally able to get a hold of airbnb customer service and they helped to cancel my reservation and refund my money. Once the reservation was cancelled, we were finally "allowed" to leave the premises. It was now 1:00AM and my kids were still awake. I hope no other children will ever have to go through the nightmare these people put my kids through. On our way out, the ladies continued to laugh at what they did to us and shouted disrespectful names at me as we walked away. These people are not human. They are evil and heartless. I am so thankful that we had a local friend with us who helped us finally get to the hospital so my son could receive care for the dog bite. I have been traveling with my children for 14 years and this was by far the worst experience we have ever been through at a hotel.

Perfect for those who really want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, connect with nature and the local culture, fall asleep to the sound of waves and relax in the sun during the day. The locals will make sure you feel right at home :) We have a chill out area upstairs, equipped with sea views, an honesty bar and great vibes that all guests can enjoy. We are so lucky to be positioned in front of a beautiful sand bank which allows us and our guests to make the most of the beautiful beach, even during low tides. We are located next to Amour's beach restaurant, where you will be able to enjoy the freshest fish and seafood. You can also enjoy natural fruit juices and many local dishes, as well as the best pizza & pasta! We can't wait to share our piece of paradise with you <3

Quiet gem in paradise

Lazy Beach is a cozy guesthouse that offers a unique combination of staying in the middle of a local village while at the same time being a quiet spot in a tropical paradise right by the beach! Staff (and manager Sarah!) are all equally amazing and friendly. If you want to see the real Zanzibar and rather stay in an authentic beautiful guesthouse than a large-scale and impersonal resort: stop searching... Lazy Beach is the perfect place for the perfect holiday!
