This was the perfect, relaxing stay after our safari. We absolutely loved the hotel which is in a beautiful setting and the staff were so so friendly - they couldn’t do enough for us and really made our stay. Thank you!!!! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced, we loved the fish dishes each evening and breakfast/snacks were plentiful. The pool area is beautiful and really calm. There isn’t much to do nearby, but for a relaxing break away from the world this was our paradise. Thanks so much to the whole team.

Die Lodge ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Alles ist sehr sauber. Das Personal ist immer freundlich, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. George, Wilson und sein Team haben es verstanden, mir meinen Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Vielen Dank!

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und herzlich. Die Einheimischen haben sehr Freude, wenn man sich in einigen Wörtern auf Swahili probiert und man wird immer mit einem Lachen begrüsst. Das Essen war sehr lecker, das Zimmer war sauber und die Anlage ist paradiesisch. Wir empfehlen das Hotel in allen Punkten weiter und würden es wieder besuchen. Hakuna matata

Valida per un relax . Buona per un riposo , accesso al mare problematico. Hanno fatto dei lavori di ripristino durante la nostra permanenza senza aspettare la chiusura che sarebbe stata dopo pochi giorni. Personale molto cortese ed efficiente. Caro per il suo livello.

Beau cadre, logement très correct mais plusieurs points à revoir : - sur le logement les - : les clim ne soufflent pas de froid et sont très bruyantes (révision à faire) Il n’y a que des prises américaines, et de nombreuses coupures d’électricité. Frigo très petit. Le logement donne accès sur du sable, ce qui fait que nous salissons très vite les sols (surtout avec un enfant) Les + : jolie déco, vue sur la piscine à débordement et la mer en hauteur. - sur la plage : attention hôtel en hauteur , il faut descendre un escalier pour se rendre à la plage. Dommage elle est rocheuse du coup on ne peut pas entrer dans l’eau face à l’hôtel. - la restauration : nous avons dîner 1 fois à l’hôtel et se fut très bon ! Mais alors le petit déjeuner une catastrophe !! Le plateau de fruits avait tourné (et cela part 2 fois) le beurre était fondu , la confiture envahie d’abeille , d’ailleurs il fallait cohabiter avec les abeilles pendant le petit dej … et le café, par 2 fois il y avait des morceaux de marre , et un café latte à la machine était facturé en plus ! Alors nous pensons que le petit déjeuner était rater car il n’y avait personne dans l’hôtel ! Nous étions 8 au total ! Vraiment quel dommage car le site est jolie, le personnel sympathique, les logements propres à la décoration typique mais l’aspect « désert » avec pas un chat dans l’hôtel c’est assez étrange…

Nous avons passé 3 jours ici après 9 jours de safari. Nous étions en fin de saison et avons été seules pendant les 3 jours. L’emplacement est superbe avec une « infinity » pool. Notre chambre est parfaite avec une belle salle de bain. Il y a l’air climatisée et l’électricité mais pas de wi-fi (disponible à la piscine et au bâtiment central). Le staff est très courtois et gentil. La plage est jolie mais vous devez avoir des petits souliers d’eau car c’est de la roche. Pour avoir plutôt du sable dans l’eau, il faut aller plus loin vers l’autre hôtel. Sur votre chemin, vous risquez de rencontrer des vendeurs de tours de bateau ou de souvenirs. Il y a aussi un bar en bas à la plage. La nourriture était très bonne. Normalement il y a un buffet mais comme nous étions les seules clientes, on nous a servi le menu à la carte qui était juste assez varié (2 choix d’entrées, 4-5 choix de repas principaux et 2 choix de desserts) et très bon (il changeait à tous les soirs).

After climbing Mount Meru and a Safari Trip in Tanzania we were very happy when we arrived at Shooting Star Lodge in Zanzibar for 7 days of relaxing in the Sun. The hotel itself is very nice and cozy. If you like to have your privacy and not many people around you this is the perfect place to stay and relax. The food they serve at the restaurant is very delicious and fresh. The menu changes every day so even when you have a longer stay you have a big variety in foods and can choose between fish, meat or vegetarian. The Staff is very nice and always helpful. If you have any questions or concerns they will take care of it. At the Pool you will always find a spot to lay at. For rooms we can highly recommend the sea view cottages they have its own private chill spot right in front. All rooms are equipped with AC, Fan, safe and mosquito net. The owner is also very present and always up for a small talk. We enjoyed our stay at shooting star lodge and when returning to Zanzibar we would definitely come back here.

Das Hotel bezaubert durch seine Lage auf einem erhöhten Felsen, von dem der Blick sogar vom Pool aus über das türkisblaue Meer weit in die Ferne schweifen kann. Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und äusserst sauber - wenn man mal davon absieht, dass in den vielen Hibiskusblüten, die jeden morgen hübsch auf dem frisch gemachten Sansibar-Bett arrangiert sind, auch ein paar Ameisen leben. Schon am frühen Morgen steht frisch gebrühter Tee oder Kaffee vor der Türe. Den bei Sonnenaufgang zu geniessen ist schon zu Beginn des Tages ein Highlight! Das andere Highlight kommt nach Sonnenuntergang, wenn die Bushbabies sich an der Hotelbar mit Nüssen und Bananenstückchen versorgen. Das Personal scheint mit Freuden die Wünsche der Gäste von den Augen abzulesen ohne im geringsten aufdringlich zu sein. Wer möchte, kann sich vom Barkeeper sogar das Bao-Spiel erklären lassen. Es kamen sogar Gäste vom benachbarten Kempinski-Hotel vorbei, um an der familiären Gastlichkeit teilzuhaben! Wenns am Pool zu heiss wird, kann man sich an der offenen Lounge wie in 1001 Nacht einen Cocktail genehmigen oder zur Strandbar runter laufen. Leider sind die Getränkepreise nicht gerade bescheiden. Die Cocktails sind sogar im Kempinski günstiger!! Dafür lässt einen das freundliche und sehr unkomplizierte Management auch ohne Aufpreis stets für ein Stündchen ins Internet. Das Hotel bietet viele Ausflüge an, bei bescheidenem Budget sind allerdings stattdessen Spaziergänge am Strand zu empfehlen. Meist wird man schon nach wenigen Sekunden von Touranbietern angesprochen, die deutlich günstigere Preise anbieten. Die Qualität ihrer Angebote scheint nach Aussage anderer Hotelgäste recht gut zu sein. Trotzdem ist man froh, dass die meisten Anquatscher sich etwa 1 km entfernt im italienischen Touribereich tummeln. So hat man am Shooting Star doch vergleichsweise viel Ruhe und Musse. Fazit: Ein Muss für Honeymooners und andere Ruhe suchende Ästheten mit gehobenen Ansprüchen!
