There's one morning we didnt have water, and had a trip so we had to ask for a bucket of water. The WiFi at the top floor is bad

The stuff was very friendly and the breakfast was wonderful

Very hard to find. Please follow White Sands bungalow’s directions and once there, go and ask for Two Palms at the White Sands Bungalows reception. I usually prefer avoiding AC, but the room is not provided with mosquito nets at the windows nor with gates, so the only option is to close the windows and turn AC on. Just a preference. Breakfast choices very limited. I usually prefer having more protein options. Again, just a preference.

It was the most affordable price. Very clean. Swimming pool. Right by the beach. The restaurant provides good food for good prices and we were able to have room service too.

The stinky toilet on the way to the rooms, the eating area was abit small and congested. Breakfast was underwhelming.

Beach access, the rooms were clean and in really good condition.

I wish there were more options for breakfast. The mattress was very hard.

My experience with the accommodation was extremely positive. The location was simply wonderful, which further enriched the entire vacation. The rooms were very clean, which really impressed me, as they were cleaned every day, which ensured a pleasant and tidy environment. They also paid special attention to mosquito protection, as they returned late in the afternoon to freshen up the room and provide additional comfort. I noticed that they really strived for the well-being of the guests, which was reflected in every detail. The staff was extremely friendly and always ready to help, which added another layer of warmth and friendliness to the entire living experience. The accommodation was quiet at night, which allowed for quality sleep and relaxation. The food was also delicious, which further enriched our experience. Overall, I was extremely happy with the accommodation and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean and friendly environment for their vacation.

Even though the GPS was accurate, we had a little trouble finding it. The signage is for White Sands not Two Palms.

Amazing location. Large, clean room with King size bed and a/c. Good breakfasts. Our favorite stop in Zanzibar. And the best value.

The swimming pool was smaller than I expected. They do not serve alcohol. But there are many places around that do.

Close to a nice beach. A very good breakfast. Helpfull employees. Nice room.

• One staff member was extremely disrespectful and untrustworthy. On our first day, we paid $150 USD in cash for our stay (total cost: $142 USD), and she claimed she had no change—neither in USD nor in Tanzanian shillings (TZS). She offered no apology and refused to find a solution. • On our last day, we were asked to pay 54,000 TZS for a meal that we clearly remembered costing 52,000 TZS. She provided no receipt or proof. We insisted she check the signed bill, which confirmed the correct amount was 52,000 TZS. Again, no apology was given. Throughout our stay, she was consistently unfriendly. • The room had a very bad smell—musty, unclean, and like old furniture. • The cleaning was not good—we saw staff mopping the floor with brown, dirty water. • The toilet had visible stains, and it was unclear whether this was due to poor cleaning or simply old and worn-out toilet. • The bed sheets had noticeable brown stains. • One wooden piece of furniture was infested with termites—we could hear them eating the wood!! The staff’s solution was to move the infested item outside our room, right by our door. • One morning, we had no running water for two hours. • The two neighboring rooms had a table and two chairs outside, but ours had none. When we asked for chairs to enjoy the view, the staff simply took one chair from each of the other rooms and gave them to us, leaving the other two rooms with one chair each. • There was no safe in our room, even though it was shown in the pictures. • Breakfast did not match the pictures. There was no toaster and fewer options overall. We asked twice for omelettes and were served scrambled eggs both times, without any apology or explanation. • To reach the room at night, we needed to walk about 100 meters in absolute darkness. • Lastly, we booked an airport shuttle in advance and were told the price was $50 each way, which seemed fair for the 1.5-hour trip and since it was set by the property.

• Very close to the beach. • One young staff member was very kind and helpful. • Excellent location near the best restaurant in town—Chez Hassan—which serves fresh, high-quality food at very affordable prices.

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at this charming boutique hotel. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the whole place had such a cozy, peaceful feel. Our room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. My wife especially loved the sea view and we both felt relaxed and happy throughout our stay. The location was perfect — quiet but close to everything we wanted to see. We highly recommend this place to couples looking for a memorable getaway.

Extremely beautiful location. The beach is very close. The room was clean, as was the rest of the hotel. The hotel staff were really wonderful, very hardworking, kind, friendly, always smiling and in a good mood. I also recommend it for families with children. All recommendations for this accommodation.

Lovely stay at Two Palms! The place is cozy, clean, and just a few steps from the beach. The hosts were kind and helpful with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

I don’t normally leave bad reviews, but this experience warrants it. We encountered multiple issues during our stay at Two Palms . • No towels provided initially, and when we did get some, they were stained. • The room didn’t match the listing—there were no mosquito nets or safe for belongings as advertised. • Pool access was not available, the pool was empty for over half of our trip contrary to what was shown. However, the most unacceptable part was being harassed after checkout. Despite paying in full on our first day and confirming payment with the staff, we received aggressive messages accusing us of not paying—even threatening to call the police. While we were on our flight home, we were bombarded with messages demanding payment, when we had already shown proof of the completed card transaction. Eventually, after I sent screenshots, the matter was acknowledged as a misunderstanding. But this level of unprofessionalism and rudeness left a sour taste after an otherwise beautiful trip to Zanzibar. If you choose to stay here, keep every receipt and proof of communication, and don’t expect the amenities promised. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves communication between staff to avoid harassing future guests.

The location is great, right on the beach with stunning view. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The hotel was new, and the rooms were clean. The only downside was that there were occasional power and Wi-Fi outages, but this seems to be a common issue across the entire island. Overall, everything exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this place.
