Canary Golden Hotel

Amazing stay at the hotel with great amenities! I had a fantastic time staying at this hotel in Nungwi, Zanzibar, with my friends. The hotel was very clean, which was important to me, and the pool was cleaned everyday and perfect for relaxing. The spacious rooms made our stay even more comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax after a day of activities. The location is also perfect 3 minutes walk to to Nungwi Beach, with beautiful excursions by the sea just a short distance away. You can watch the sunset. What truly made this stay special was the friendliness of the staff. They were incredibly helpful and friendly. They make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!! We will definitely be coming back!

Nous avons séjourné 1 semaine dans cet hôtel et sincèrement ce fut ma meilleure expérience. J’ai fait énormément d’hôtel dans plusieurs pays et celui restaura mon préféré. C’est un hôtel à taille humaine dont le personnel et le propriétaire prennent vraiment soin de leurs clients et cela quelque soit l’heure du jour ou de la nuit. Ils sont toujours pleins d’attention. Il n’y a aucun problème de sécurité, vous pouvez laisser vos affaires sans aucun risque. La nourriture est bonne, la piscine agréable, et l’hôtel bien situé pas loin de la plage et des magasins ainsi que de tous les restaurants. La wifi est super, les chambres ainsi que tout l’hôtel est d’une propreté remarquable. Je remercie particulièrement Monsieur ALI pour nous avoir accueilli et pris soin de rendre agréable notre séjour, ainsi que son équipe MWINYI ET MWANTAMA, EMMACULETA, RAJAB (et ses super pancakes), HASSAN, ABDULRAHMAN, et tous les autres que je n’ai pas cité. Je le recommande !

When we arrived at Canary Hotel & Free Spa, we were shocked by how it was handled at reception. The staff insisted we’d booked a different property—Canary Golden Hotel, located “15 minutes away (but actually 1 min walk)”—and offered an “upgrade” to the Canary Hotel & Spa for an additional $15 per night. However, our original reservation was correctly for Canary Hotel & Spa, not Golden Hotel, which we discovered was currently under renovation (as we passed by with physical evidence). Only after we insisted, the receptionist notified us that the manager had allowed us to stay with this upgrade “for free.” That’s when we realized they were deliberately misleading guests. Good points: • Location is convenient. • Restaurant staff are friendly and the à la carte food is good. • Good price ** Negative points: • Reception staff are unprofessional and resort to scams at check-in. • Terrible smells in the toilets. • Weak Wi-Fi signal throughout the property. • Gym is dusty, full of pollen, and lacks air conditioning—my workout left me feeling ill. • Pool smells heavily of chlorine and chemicals. • Poor breakfast options: omelettes are limited to just 2 eggs per person, unacceptable for what’s supposed to be a 4-star hotel. • It feels like the hotel prioritizes squeezing money from guests over providing real value, even seemingly exploiting staff under poor management.
