We stayed at Mount Zion Lodge for 3 nights with our 10-year old son. Akida and his crew could have not been friendlier, really great people and super nice with our son. Atmosphere was relaxed and the place calm, surrounded with lush garden - great place to unwind and chill out. The place is a few minutes walk from the beach and other hotels, bars and restaurants, which we liked, as the surroundings were peaceful and calm. Breakfast was excellent and the food in general good. Apart from the restaurants and bars on the beach, between the Mount Zion Lodge and the beach there is a garden bar where locals have a drink, play pool or come to watch football. The vibe is friendly.

Lovely and peaceful property, staff very friendly and easy to arrange trips and transport.

The first day we arrived of course tiered and hungry, we asked about food for us for lunch as they had a menu and had advertised on Booking . Com that you could buy lunch and dinner, we were told not that day may be tomorrow. We found a little bar across the road which had character. No wardrobe or draws to put your clothes, so left them in suitcase.

Zion Lodge has a beautiful garden almost like a botanic garden. The staff is really nice and extremly helpful. The lodge provide fantastic breakfast and upon request lunch and dinner. Highly recommended place to stay.

Mount Zion is a magnificent resort close the beach in a peaceful and beautiful location. We loved our stay and enjoyed the nice and relaxed atmosphere a lot. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had a good stay. The rooms are spacious with nice garden view. The resort is very close to the beach and it’s beautiful to go for a walk or swim or watch the sunset. We can really recommend Mount Zion to everyone who want to visit Zanzibar. Perfect.

The staff went out of their way to meet my breakfast requests. The place was serene and beautiful with birds humming all over which was very relaxing for me.

I had seen pictures online which made me think it had a beach front so I was abit disappointed on arrival. The property owner needs to state in their description how far the hotel is from the beach which is not far but some of the pics on booking.com website are misleading

Breakfast was great, fresh fruits, fresh drinks pressed from local fruits. Since the lodge i a cca. 300 meters away from the beach, no party noice. Very quite in the afternoon except bird singing. We had a rental car and a parking lot was avaiable all the time. Staff amazing, reading your wishes before you can tell them.

There is not to much, our room was ok. the bathroom needs a bit refreshment. We had two bats hanging from ceiling every afternoon which is not really disturbing me but the floor on the terrace was dirty from fruits they have eaten. Sometimes there was no water, but the team fixed it within seconds. Also the dirt road to the lodge requires an SUV. Since the location is green, means no conrete flooring surfaces, no walkways with stones, many plants and so on, we had some mosquitos in the room. highly recommend "no bite" spray which can be purched in more less every local market.

Very close to the beach, relaxed vibe and great staff

Wifi was intermittent and didn’t work most of my stay (mainly due to bad weather). However you can buy a local sim very cheaply close by.

We strongly recommand Mount Zion lodge ! We stayed for 5 days and had an amazing time. All is clean and nice, especially the garden which makes toi feel like in the jungle The staff is very welcoming and they can organize great excursions for you. If you looking for a calme place to chill and enjoy Zanzibar you're in the right place.

Mount Lion and Michamvi by far the best places to be in Zanzibar. Chilled and relax, the lodge welcomes you to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the island.

Everything was perfect.

Really nice and ambient place with super friendly staff. I wish I could have stayed longer but will make this my first choice for the next time I come to visit. The calm atmosphere and the green environment and the relaxing area is really nice.
