Cheap hotels in Kendwa

This property has the best view of the beach on a little hill. It’s really clean, simply designed and has a great restaurant on the top floor. We ended up having every meal there. The owner is also friendly and the staff look after you. It was a good chill place in a great location around shops, hair salons, food and 5 minutes from the best beach in the area.

I had a great stay at Bamboo Garden. It’s a very cosy place with a nice laidback vibe. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and they serve a big breakfast in the morning (every day something else). The owner Sule is super friendly and will help you with whatever you need. They also have a nice rooftop from which you can watch the sunset.

Stayed Feb 07-12, 2025 1. Room cleaned daily 2. air conditioner worked beautifully along with fan 3. mosquito net was clean 4. 5 min walk to beach 5. restaurants all around the hotel 6. staff exceptionally attentive and kind 7. excellent shower pressure 8. excellent wifi I would stay and recommend this hotel again and again

The room was spacious, the neighborhood quiet and the hosts welcoming. Breakfast (a buffet) had variety. The terrace upstairs is quite large and from there I could listen to birds sing and enjoy a bird eye view of Kendwa's captivating ocean. Kendwa's beautiful beach was about 5 minutes walk from the apartment. I would definitely return for a longer stay.

Carletto was beautiful Casa House beautiful and so clean

The place is so cozy. feels like home. The hosts are warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place

I love the aesthetics it’s so beautiful and white I love the architecture a mix of ancient and modern architecture

WIFI amazing. AC amazing. Hot water great Quiet place. Recommend for solo travelers, traveling on a budget.

We felt right at home at Daeli Apartment, thanks to Eliana, our warm and attentive host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The apartment itself is simple but spacious, and the small kitchen is handy if you’d like to prepare light meals. Since we booked two rooms, we had the entire unit to ourselves. If you book only one room, keep in mind that the kitchen and balcony are shared with the other room. Note that most rooms are only accessible by stairs. The Wi-Fi is weak, so working remotely could be a challenge. The beach is about a 10–15 minute downhill walk, lined with noisy resorts. Sometimes the noise carries up to the rooms, but the upside is that the apartment feels calmer and more authentic than staying in a big hotel.

Super clean and neat Also the value for what you get was great

Amenities and very cheerful staff

Out of all the places that I stayed in Zanzibar, this was by far my favourite. The property is beautiful and is right on the beachfront. It’s close to many water activities on the beach as well as shops on the sea side and on the street side. When I did not have WhatsApp access and needed to make calls, the front desk staff kindly helped me make phone calls whenever I needed to arrange transport. I came here as a female solo traveller, and I had a great time and felt so welcome and safe. I even made friends with other female guests who were also travelling solo. The operations manager, Al Pacino even sent a cake to my room on my birthday, and when I requested to stay a little bit longer after my plans unexpectedly changed, Al Pacino kindly sorted out my arrangement at a better rate. The room was very clean with good AC, and the shower had good pressure and the hot water never ran out. The breakfast buffet was delicious and I stuffed myself every morning, even though I don’t even like eating breakfast usually. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not regret it. I would definitely come back here on my next stay in Kendwa.

Simple, but comfortable and clean accommodation. Friendly and welcoming host. Great breakfast.

Elegant, low-key yet chic, super personable hosting, adorable cuddly/friendly resident dog, perfect swimming pool, very generous breakfast, gorgeous rooms. The owners are very attentive and chill, you can tell they really care about perfecting this place and ensuring guests feel at home.

Great hotel with amazing the staff. Good location, 15 mins by walk to the beach. Good food

Wow! What an incredible experience we had during our 3-night stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly at home. We were welcomed with beautiful songs, genuine smiles, and such warm hospitality that instantly made us feel special. The rooms were spacious, spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained—everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The food? Absolutely delicious! Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. A special thank you to the amazing chefs, who were always happy to listen to our requests and prepare exactly what we wanted. That personal touch meant so much to our group. The entire staff was exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. I wish I could mention everyone by name because each one of them contributed to making our stay memorable. A very special appreciation goes to Nuru. I'm not sure if she's the manager, but she made everything so easy from the very beginning through our chats before arrival until the day we checked out. She was always available, responsive, and ensured everything ran smoothly. We also loved the complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach—it made exploring so convenient. The hotel even has a standby generator, so we never had to worry about power interruptions. To make our stay even more special, some members of our group celebrated their birthdays, and the hotel surprised us with a beautiful birthday cake! It was such a thoughtful gesture that created unforgettable memories. Thank you for making us feel like family. We can't wait to return and will gladly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality, amazing food, comfortable accommodation, and outstanding service. See you again soon! ❤️

Very clean and well maintained

I had an amazing stay at Gabry’s property! She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about Zanzibar, making us feel right at home. The house is lovely, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean. We also adored her three adorable dogs, which added so much charm. The property is perfectly located, just a 10-minute walk to the beach, making it super convenient for daily outings. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend staying here!
