I ended up not staying at Zanzi House. The place was absolutely disgusting. Poorly maintained and had an odor. The linen in the room had stains on it. There was a bathroom sink and toilet meters away from my door. Dirt was everywhere and garbage just randomly thrown on the property. The room was not as pictured online. I had to leave immediately I checked in. I could not even do a night there. I had the constant urge to throw up for the 1 hr that I was there.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zanzi Hotel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family, offering warm welcomes and excellent service throughout my stay. The hotel is beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with a touch of local charm, creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. My room was spacious, well-equipped, and spotless, with stunning views of the surrounding area. The amenities are fantastic, from the refreshing pool to the delicious on-site restaurant offering a variety of tasty dishes. What truly stood out was the attention to detail—every little aspect was thoughtfully arranged to ensure a memorable experience. Zanzi Hotel’s location is also perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, I highly recommend Zanzi Hotel for a comfortable, relaxing, and memorable stay!

A boutique hotel with a unique charm - it is tastefully decorated with its own character. I love my stay here, a pity that I only stayed for a night. Thank you for the hospitality!

Check in was a little confusing as they insisted that I had not paid yet when I paid online already. The room in the picture was not the one I received. They said it was already full. The rooms were also quite dirty.
