Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!

The check in was for 3pm and we didn’t get our room until 6pm, the Manager was horrible and when we finally got our room it was smelling of damp, we complained and were told there was nothing they could do, our room was next to a part they were having construction work done in and all we heard was banging, to make the situation worse the bedding was filthy. After refusing to sleep in a damp room they finally moved us and again we were put on the other side of the hotel with yet more construction work going on. Spoke to Management again and were simply told this is the best they could do. It was the worst experience ever and ruined our holiday. The reception area was full of complaining guests, rooms were not cleaned and no one seemed happy. Please DO NOT stay here, it is a huge mess once they have your money they are dismissive if you have any issues. Note to Management please fix your internal issues and learn to talk to your staff nicely instead of shouting at them in front of guests. An Awful Experience!

The location and price are amazing. The food can be better. The hotel is more beautiful than the pictures. If a little renovations/upgrading of the rooms are done will match the 5 star resorts. Staff is incredible. Over roll, I will recommend this hotel for anyone.

Pleasant 5 nights stay. The two housekeeping ladies are genuine with big smiles. Dinner options are satisfactory (considering the standard in Africa). Rooms are old but with this price point it is fair. The rest of the hotel including swimming pool and bar area are pretty.

I felt that my room and myself were both neglected. We checked in on the 31st, and although we informed the reception desk that the phone in our room was without service, this issue was not resolved until 01/02. In order to use an American adapter outlet, a make shift power box was plugged in with exposed wires. The food was distasteful and the pools were dirty. The hotel has a significant amount of potential. However, the furniture is outdated. The staff attempted to be accommodating, but did not meet average expectations.

We honeymoon’ed at My Blue Hotel for 6 days and loved it! The hotel property is beautiful and clean. We chose the half board option, and really enjoyed the breakfast provided by the hotel. There are also several nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner that are walking distance. Furthermore, the staff were lovely. We had a smooth check in and check out experience and the cleaning staff left cute designs with towels and flowers on our bed for our honeymoon. The rooms were good - had everything you need including bug nets! Staff would also spray the room in the evening to keep bugs away which was greatly appreciated. The view of the beach was great and we didn’t have any issues getting a beach chair to sit on at any time of the day. Highly recommend staying at My Blue Hotel!

The staff was good and friendly but the property needs some serious work. The picture showed a room with a seating area by the sliding doors....I guess the furniture got old and they just removed it as the only place to sit in this resort was the bed. Not exactly more than a 2 star rating for that. The bathrooms need a real upgrade as there is mold and discoloured grout and caulking that is really nasty. Finally, it doesn't matter how long you stay, the first 2 bottles of water are free and then you must pay for water after this....never seen anything like that...for water??? Far from the 4 star they claim!

The Beach of the hotel is amazing, the general hotel design and pandsacpe is nice and has a character yet the hotel is out dated in terms of room furniture, outdoor and beach furniture. Most towels are over used and many of them are ripped! The chaise longues on beach you have to pay for to use which is very weird for me to see something like thing in a beach front resort like hotel! For the staff in general they are kind yet there is a level of slowleness thats a bit much for me! For example for no obvious reason the security guy at the gate stoped us of not less than 10 mins to allow us in for check in, with a massive lag in communication and a not caring attitude. And its the same everytime we drive back to the hotel. The location of the hotel is good in the area of Nungwi.

MyBlue is a nice hotel direct on the beach, owner is an Italian family, so it's a little bit like in Rimini... If you wnat to have a sun bed on the Beach, you have to pay!! At least Myblue rent these sunbed to everybody for 10$. For 10$ you can stay the all day on the most beautifull beach of Zanzibar, bring your own drink and food, have a free internet the all day. Is that not nice! I paid 3000$ for 9 nights and have to pay extra to be on the beach. Next time i will take an cheap hotel and will spend my day for 10$ at Myblue... When you are booking a room add the information that you don't want a room next to the Disco!!!

The first room we got, when we opened the door, there was a cat inside staring at us, then we were moved to the second room, where we could not sleep ALL NIGHT because there were termites chewing those woods inside the room and the chewing noise was so loud that we could not sleep! We even recorded it just make the front desk people listen, and they were astonished! Then we were moved again to a third room. This was a really painful hotel stay!!

Very disappointed

Booked based on great reviews on Hotels.com and SoMe. Was supposed to stay 6 nights, ended up checking out after 3 nights. 1. There was an extreme smell of mold throughout the entire room/bathroom. The mold was also very visible, the curtains, the walls and the shower. 2. The aircon was not working properly and I assume this is also why they have a mold problem. Humidity was extreme in the room and all our clothes and stuff ended up damp, and nothing (swim/beachwear) was close to drying. Due to the climate in Zanzibar I would say it’s very important that there is a functioning aircon with dehumidification function. 3. The room was dirty, especially around the bed, windows and shower. 4. On the bottom part of the window, there were no glass, only mosquito netting. Due to this, it was moist and very noisy in the room. We felt like we were sleeping in a tent on the street. We could hear everything happening outside and had trouble sleeping because of this. 5. The lady in the reception tried to make a problem out of us checking out later than 12:00, which is crazy as we had already paid for 6 nights, but wanted to leave after 3 nights. 6. Over all, in serious need of upgrade, but even small things like mosquito netting around the bed, sheets/linen and towels had holes. 7. Impossible to get sunbeds unless you wake up at 7 to put your towel down. Dirty pools and facilities. Very disappointed, we expected more from a 4 star hotel.

Stunning grounds, large, comfortable rooms, great location. I was thrilled to arrive. But the staff need better training. 2 issues—1 minor and common, 1 major and shocking—spoiled my stay. Minor—the breakfast area staff are TOO aggressive about taking away plates. Every 3 minutes someone tried to take my half-finished plate and coffee. Let a man enjoy his breakfast in peace without being rushed! Major—checkout was AWFUL! 5 staff behind the desk, only me and 1 other couple in front of the desk, but it took nearly 30 minutes. When I presented my door bracelet, and said "checking out," the staff looked at me blankly. I was ignored for 10 minutes. They finally got around to it, another 10 minutes later they came with a US$2 bill for tourist tax. (I paid $180 for the night, but OK...I gave 5,000 shillings) "Are we done?" "we check the room now." "Just now?!!" 20 minutes into it, I tried to leave (had a boat trip departure for my 50th birthday that was NOT flexible due to the tides). They LITERALLY held me captive. The security guard seized my bag from me and protected the gate, crying that he would be fired if he let me out. Shocking! I said: "look if you want anything at all from me, simply ask for it and I will gladly give whatever it is, but I MUST leave NOW" but they wouldn't budge until I made an ugly scene. I arrived 15 minutes late to my destination and was lucky to board the boat. Sum: More "Pole Pole" needed in the dining area, and far LESS needed at checkout.

O hotel é ótimo! Grande e bem arborizado. A piscina de borda infinita é maravilhosa e no fim do dia ainda se aprecia um lindo pôr do sol. O café da manhã é delicioso e diversificado. Achei só o quarto pequeno, o chuveiro não esquentava tanto e a internet é ruim, mas em toda a ilha é assim.
