I recently spent an incredible seven days at the Maharaja Hotel for our honeymoon, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived, the exceptional service set the tone for our stay. The staff, including Anita, Mashk, and Shaban, were warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home. Every day, our room was meticulously cleaned, and we were pleasantly surprised to find fresh towels and beautiful towel swans arranged on the bed. These thoughtful touches made our honeymoon even more special. One of the highlights of our trip was a special dinner arranged right on the beach. The ambiance was simply magical, with the sound of waves creating a serene backdrop. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish not only looked amazing but also burst with flavor. It was clear that every meal was crafted with care and skill. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making our stay even more enjoyable. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Maharaja Hotel to anyone looking for a slice of paradise in Zanzibar. Our experience was truly remarkable, and I can't wait to return!

We gave an optimization proposal to the team - those who are in the all-inclusive, will receive bracelets / some kind of sign. This way it will save the guests to notify each time

A great hotel to stay at.. Stayed for 7 days - had the deluxe double room with sea view, very spacious and amazing view The staff is beyond amazing, lovely and caring, they put time to memorize your name and call you by your name when they meet you or you are having meals at the restaurant - have not seen this in so many other luxurious places. The customer relationship manager Anita, is just on fire - unbeatable energy, always roaming around and checking on guests and asking to keep her busy - with a great smile and sense of humor. The way your room is prepared for sleep while you are at dinner, the bed arranged and ready to get in, a bottle of water and cookies are put next to your bed are just another level of service. The food variety and portions are super! Themed dinners with music and shows! They even offer you late checkout if possible without you having to ask for it - a complete different customer centricity approach. I would truly recommend this hotel - I am picky and I like it :)

If one thing could be improved I would say the solid wood chairs on the balcony could be replaced with comfortable ones - the view from the balcony is awesome so worth really sitting there for a while :)

Fantastic and quiet location. Friendly staff. Wonderful garden with local monkeys 🐒

The breakfast and coffee were very good. The poor menu for the 5 star hotel doesn't meet expectations.

The place is very clean. And they take client with so much care.

Nothing

Excellent customer service, good quality food, staff helped us a lot when our bag went missing, friendly bar and restaurant staff, really large room, nice pool and lounging area. Overall a really nice hotel and the staff went out of their way to welcome us.

Managers asked us too often if we were happy with the service, there weren't enough vegetarian options on the lunch and dinner menus, and some misunderstandings over breakfast orders. They also didn't tell us that paying for a late check out meant we didn't get food and drink included on the last day, but the staff did resolve this for us. Minor point is that the door to our room was stiff and broken, and our shower was a bit broken, but both things were fixed when we mentioned them.

The airport transfer, even at 3 am, was smooth. Despite the late arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find a snack waiting for us, which was so thoughtful considering the late hour – a lovely touch. The next day, the hotel staff kindly offered us a different room when they noticed the initial one wasn't quite to our liking – a lovely gesture that really showed their attentiveness. We were also very happy with the excellent internet signal throughout our stay. It was a nice touch to have our water replenished daily in the room, along with some biscuits. The hotel itself was generally very peaceful and quiet, providing a truly relaxing atmosphere. We did notice that the hotel seemed to be quite empty during our visit. However, what truly stood out was the incredible attention, friendliness, and helpfulness of the staff. A special mention must go to Anita, the manager, who was exceptional, as well as Cecília, the supervisor, and the ever-cheerful Issa and Leonard, who were always so kind and attentive during our meals. We also had a wonderful interaction with Ismail, a gardener, who went above and beyond by climbing a coconut tree to get us fresh coconut water one afternoon – such a treat! On a particularly rainy day, the lovely manager Anita did everything she could to make the situation more enjoyable for us. We also really appreciated Leonard, the waiter, who took the initiative to note down our breakfast preferences and share them with his colleagues for the days he wasn't working, so we didn't have to repeat ourselves. The proximity of the beach and the pool was fantastic. And the massage I received from Janeth? Honestly, it was the best I've ever had. And believe me, I've had massages in Bali and Thailand, so that's saying something!

It’s an amazing hotel. Really liked the place. It’s small and cozy resort. During my stay all staff used to address me by name. Thank you so much to Anita for assisting and attending all my needs and Yaya for arranging my tours. Especially I liked the house keeping. It was not just clean but always decorated with flowers and bath towels in a different shapes on my bed. Looked really awesome. The place is really like on the picture provided here on booking.com. WiFi was perfect working on a whole territory of the resort. During your dinner you can enjoy life music and traditional dancing. Food was always fresh and tasty. The bar is just next to the pool and staff can attend you even during your sunbathing.

If you’re seeking a quiet place with friendly people, this is the perfect spot. The peaceful atmosphere allowed me to fully unwind and enjoy my holiday. The property is beautifully maintained, with comfortable rooms and lush, landscaped grounds that make it feel like a true escape. One of the highlights was the stunning beach view—it was incredible to wake up to the sound of the waves and watch the sunset from my balcony. The amenities were excellent, especially the pool area, which was always clean and never too crowded. The staff were outstanding and made my stay unforgettable, especially Mr. ETo at the bar, who was warm and attentive. Overall, an amazing experience in a beautiful setting.

There wasn’t much I didn’t like about this place. However, it would have been nice to have a TV and a fridge in the room for added convenience. The only real drawback was the WiFi connection, which kept dropping intermittently. Other than that, everything else was fantastic.

Five star hotel. The best hotel we could have dream of. The emplacement, the attention, the services was just extraordinary, everything was meticulously cleaned and tidy. Anita’s attention made our stay even better, she was like an angel to us. The staff attention and help was also incredible. The hotel has an amazing view and private beach that we high recommend to use when the sea level is low. You can ask to have lunch outside when sea level is low and have the most romantic and best view ever. The landscape from the hotel is breathtaking. The rooms very extremely cleaned, we had to services per day to prepare the rooms for the day and night. Breakfast was extremely generous and delicious. The bathroom it’s European very clean and luminous, as the rooms. Water was also given by the hotel in the rooms. You can also have coconuts for free during the day freshly taken and cutted which were delicious. Food is generous and very well presented and high quality the breakfast was excellent, you can order whatever you want on the menu and everything we tried was delicious.
