The Seles Boutique Hotel

The music every night is great! You can organize any tour from the hotel with Mr. Cheaper, the original. He’s willing to negotiate. It was my birthday and somehow it got known, I got a special cake and they sang for me. The staff was very lovely, Violet was such a kind person. The deck on the beach is great. Drinks were delicious! Of course there’s people on the beach trying to sell you things. You can easily say thank you and move on. I got a custom necklace made with a nice salesman. Less busy than other place. The internet was the fastest encountered yet, I work while travelling so that a must.

I got an entire Bungalow to myself for an amazing price. The host was very welcoming & friendly. He took care of all questions and queries about airport car ride, dolphin watching, snorkelling, food & shopping! Please contact the hotel beforehand so that you don’t get ripped off by the terminal taxi! The room was clean. Only thing that I think was missing in the room was a hairdryer. Otherwise 100/100. Food-great! Service-great! Accommodating-great! Highly recommend!

We visited this bar twice and initially had a great experience. The place has a nice ambiance, the staff are incredibly friendly, and we enjoyed a few drinks each time. However, during our third visit, the drinks tasted diluted, almost like water. We politely asked for the drinks to be adjusted, but the owner, who was present, refused outright and became argumentative. While it didn’t escalate to violence, the situation was tense and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, we had to leave due to the owner’s rude and unprofessional behavior. While I would still recommend this bar for its welcoming staff and overall atmosphere, beware of interactions with the owner, as they are not customer-friendly. Proceed with caution. What’s worse? I later read two other review describing the exact same issue. Coincidence or a pattern? You decide.

We came for the Wednesday Night music. Just had drinks and listened. Loved the music, especially when the percussion started. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Cold drinks, pretty quick service and nice space

Lovely place, the balcony in the main area where you can watch the sea and zanzibar life is so nice! It is a very charming place. There is a very helpful and friendly staff. They try everything to make you happy. If something does not work they try everything to fix it.

I didn’t stayed at this hotel but it was very close to mine so I was able to enjoy the restaurant and pool several times. I went in for the first time and it was reggae live music. Save to say it was one of the best nights of my week in Zanzibar. There was a power outage for several hours but it was magical. The staff is amazing, everyone is super nice and welcoming, you’ll definitely will feel at home. The food and cocktails are amazing! Totally recommend ✨

Amazing place located on the beach. Accommodation is clean and stylish, with rainfall shower, tea and coffee facilities in room and fridge. Bed is comfortable. Quiet at night. Litre of water provided each day. Shower gel and large soft towels. There are two pools to choose from. Food is great. Lovely complimentary breakfast which is cooked fresh. Breakfast runs up until noon so if you want a little longer in bed no problem. Staff are amazing and so friendly. Aisha at reception is an absolute star- so cheerful and helpful. Vibe and atmosphere here is very chilled and relaxing. Great place and I can highly recommend it. We stayed here for 3 nights and would book again.

A beautiful place on the beach, with very pleasant and professional staff. It's a simple vibe, very chilled, and in a great location for local dive shops. The cocktails are excellent, especially 2-for-1 happy hour, 3-7pm. They have live music most nights but not later than 10pm, while I was there, so not intrusive. The food is really good quality and value, and has a reasonable variety of vegetarian options. Breakfast is unpretentious and excellent quality and quantity; the coffee is particularly good. The staff were all lovely, delivering very good service without fail, and going out of their way to help with particular needs. Special thanks to the manager who helped with my complicated requests to check in and out, around diving plans: she didn't have to be so accommodating but it was extremely helpful - thank you!
