Nous avons passé une semaine dans cet appart’hôtel à Zanzibar. Le séjour semblait agréable… jusqu’au dernier jour. Notre vol étant prévu à 22h35, nous avions demandé au personnel s’il était possible de garder la chambre un peu plus tard. Ils ont accepté sans souci. Nous avons donc profité de la matinée à la plage, juste devant le logement (moins de 10 mètres). À notre retour, stupeur : valise fouillée, baie vitrée ouverte (jamais utilisée pendant le séjour), et surtout : argent liquide volé, papiers d'identité, cartes bancaires, une paire de baskets... tout avait disparu. Le pire reste à venir : le personnel n’a rien fait. J’ai dû insister pour qu’ils appellent la police. Le "policier" est arrivé, m’a salué d’un "high five", a inspecté le logement sans sérieux, puis m’a laissé entendre que le vol était de notre faute car "on aurait laissé la baie vitrée ouverte". Aucune attestation de vol possible car il fallait attendre une enquête… avec un avion dans quelques heures. En recherchant d'autres avis plus détaillés, nous avons découvert que plusieurs voyageurs avaient signalé des vols dans cet établissement, souvent dans des conditions similaires, et avec des réactions douteuses du personnel. Hôtel à fuir absolument. Sécurité inexistante, personnel soupçonnable, aucun soutien en cas de problème. Il est inadmissible qu’un tel établissement soit encore proposé sur les plateformes de réservation.

This Is Not a Hotel — It’s a Disgrace Do not let the photos fool you. Surfescape in Kiwengwa is one of the most dishonest and chaotic places I’ve encountered in years of travel. The “villa” we were placed in was a moldy, mosquito-infested shack with broken furniture, no AC, and a filthy mattress. Electricity vanished multiple times a day, and water pressure? Nonexistent. It’s hard to decide what was worse — the discomfort or the feeling of being completely abandoned. Staff entered our room and tampered with our luggage while we were out. No safes, no explanation, no shame. An absolute violation of privacy and trust. They pushed us to cancel our online booking and pay cash — a highly suspicious move that reeks of fraud. There is no proper front desk, no restaurant, no management presence. Just people winging it and hoping no one asks questions. Avoid this place like it’s contagious. It’s not just bad — it’s dangerous, dishonest, and degrading to Zanzibar’s reputation.

⚠ **FUYEZ CET HÔTEL** ⚠ SURFESCAPE est une HONTE pour l’hospitalité. Les vols sont Fréquents et nous avons également été les victimes, fouille dans les bagages durant votre absence vol d’argent et d’objet personnel , et aucune sécurité n’est mise en place pour protéger les clients. Ce n’est pas un incident isolé : plusieurs personnes ont signalé des affaires disparues, et la direction fait la sourde oreille. Le personnel est incompétent et dédaigneux, complètement indifférent aux plaintes. Ne vous attendez pas à un service digne de ce nom. À chaque problème, on vous opposera silence et mépris. Les chambres sont mal entretenues sans moustiquaire sans climatisation côté villa si on peut appeler ça comme ça ,le service désastreux, et l’ambiance pesante. Un établissement qui devrait être évité à tout prix. Ne prenez pas le risque de gâcher votre séjour. Allez ailleurs, où votre sécurité et votre confort seront pris au sérieux.

UN HOTEL À FUIR – une expérience catastrophique Séjourner ici a été une terrible erreur. Pensant trouver un lieu sécurisé et professionnel, nous avons rapidement compris qu’il en était tout autrement. Une somme d’argent conséquente a été volée directement dans notre valise, et malgré toutes les démarches entreprises, justice n’a jamais été rendue. Nous avons porté plainte afin qu’une enquête soit menée, mais cela n’a rien donné. La direction n’a montré aucun sérieux dans la gestion de cette affaire, et aucune mesure n’a été prise pour garantir la sécurité des clients. Les vols semblent être monnaie courante, et pourtant rien n’est fait pour empêcher que cela ne se reproduise Si vous cherchez un hôtel où vous pouvez avoir confiance en l’équipe et dormir l’esprit tranquille, NE VENEZ SURTOUT PAS ICI Le manque de professionnalisme et de respect envers les clients est tout simplement inacceptable. Préservez-vous et choisissez un établissement qui respecte ses visiteurs ! -

Great place to stay to relax by the beach. We loved the fresh fruits for breakfast in the morning. The staff were very nice and helpful. Even during power cuts the place had a generator which was nice compared to other hotels. Also very convenient to kitesurf in front of the house

Abbiamo soggiornato in uno dei due attici per 2 settimane. L'arredamento e le attrezzature erano perfette e in ordine, ma il valore aggiunto era sicuramente la posizione, direttamente sulla spiaggia e, la sera, nel silenzio della notte, si potevano sentire le onde del mare. Dal bellissimo terrazzo attrezzato con sdraio, tavolo e sedie, potevamo godere di un meraviglioso panorama, con la luna che si specchiava nel mare... Indimenticabile vacanza, sicuramente da ripetere!!!

Abbiamo fatto la vacanza con una coppia di amici, abbiamo soggiornato in uno degli appartamenti al piano terra direttamente sulla spiaggia a pochi metri dal fantastico mare di Zanzibar. La struttura è accogliente e ben attrezzata, il personale educato e ben disponibile per qualsiasi esigenza, compresa l'organizzazione di escursioni. C'è la possibilità di usufruire della colazione nella villa adiacente, anche se noi abbiamo preferito falcela in casa. Esperienza da ripetere, la consiglio anche a famiglie con bambini.
