Great relaxing place on the beach

Nice and clean hotel on the beach in a quiet area. Very nice pool area. I would recommend the hotel to couples. It’s not a place for children. Free water was really great. The WiFi was good. Ac did not work as well as hoped due to the power outages. I would stay here again if I came back to Zanzibar.

Wonderful place!

We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time at the place. The pool-area was super nice and all of the staff was extremely friendly. Only thing we would provide as constructive feedback would be that the staff could be a bit more confident and better at speaking English. We had a couple of waiters that were a little difficult to communicate with.

6/10 Good

Charmigt lite slarvigt men vackert

Sahara är ett vackert afrikanskt litet hotel med 17 rum . Lite enkla rum med skön säng där ett visst behov av renovering finns . Ligger fint vid beachen som ger möjligheter till långa promenader åt båda hållen. Restaurangen var trevlig och personalen underbar men olidligt långa väntetider stundtals på mat trots väldigt få gäster , ingen riktig styrning av det hela vilket drar ner intrycket en aning. Däremot mycket god mat och alltid glatt och vänligt bemötande. Massagen var ok men lite dålig koll på tider och kommunikation mellan bokare och utförare.

Tolles Hotel und sehr aufmerksames und angenehmes Personal. Aufgrund der geringe Anzahl der Zimmer ist die Atmosphäre sehr entspannend (Keine unangenehme Musik). Der Blick zum Meer ist das Highlight. Optimal: wenn alle Standbetreiber sich zusammenschließen um den Stand gemeinsam in Ordnung zu halten. Der Standbetreiber Sahari macht das jeden morgen

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Sahari rundum genossen. Es ist ein wirklich traumhafter Ort um abzuschalten und die Ruhe zu genießen. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und in gutem Zustand. Sehr gut gefallen hat uns auch, dass auf den Zimmern sämtliche Steckdosen ohne Adapter benutzt werden konnten. Lediglich das Essen im Restaurant bietet kein angemessenes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Es genügt den Ansprüchen, sticht aber nicht hervor.

WHATS NOT TO LIKE - ET PARADIS!! Super dejligt og autentisk hotel! Helt klart anbefalingsværdigt. Vi nød alt ved opholdet og der var rigtig god mad i restauranten. Alle medarbejderne var imødekommende og kompetente. Når vi vender tilbage til Zanzibar igen tjekker vi helt klart ind på Sahari igen.

I felt like my room was a little small and dark, but the bed is pretty comfortable. There are in-room wifi so I was able to work in my room at night which was super nice. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful...my taxi was late and the security guard pulled up his chair for me to sit down by the door and wait. Also, the restaurant has really good pasta. The pizza was just okay, but I had the gnocchi with prawns...it was delicious!
