Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomFrom the minute we walked in from the minute we walked out we were in good hands. The room were good comfortable size the sand everywhere is extra special no sandles needed. The pool was wonderful the sun shining on it all day. The beach is a the door step no need to walk far. Beautiful white sand peacefully quiet. The staff was brilliant you ask you get straight away. Breakfast was delicious they have bakery , fresh fruits fresh fruit juices and lots more plus a menu were you order freshly made eggs and lot more to choice. We had something new every day. Everything we needed it was in the hotel if not just ask they will deliver with a smile . We love our fresh fruits we bought some we were abit vary if we should ask for a knife and plate to cut it. Without any hesitation we were given it to our room. A BIG thanks to all the staff at The loop beach resort for a wonderful break. And special thanks for giving us a room to spend the last day in a room as our flight was very late evening it was very considerate of you and we appreciated it. Thank you. I recommend this hotel to whoever is coming to Zanzibar.

VenezuelaI had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Loop Beach Hotel. From the moment our group arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I’d like to especially mention January, Lucy, and Veronica for their outstanding hospitality—though every single team member played a part in making the stay memorable. The hotel was spotless throughout, and the flexibility offered by the staff made everything feel easy and stress-free. The food and beverages were consistently excellent, and the inclusion of entertainment added a lively touch that elevated the entire experience. There’s honestly nothing negative I could say. The hotel exceeded my expectations in every way and I would recommend it blindly to anyone looking for a truly enjoyable getaway.

United KingdomNothing! Everything was perfect
Absolutely wonderful resort! The staff were exceptional nothing was too much trouble for them and they were all so friendly! The rooms were spacious and very clean. The mattresses are on the hard side but they do offer a topper for those who prefer a softer bed. The pool area was lovely and we loved the relaxing bar area . The vibe was super chilled, don’t think we wore shoes the whole time we were there! The staff arranged both our excursions, one to Jozani Forest and also a village tour which was one of the highlights of our stay! Meeting the local people and even visiting the local school and getting to chat to the children. The beach was great and very quiet, we walked most days and although you do get approached to buy things we never once felt pressurised or uncomfortable. Everyone was super friendly and happy just to chat with you. I’d definitely recommend The Loop if you’re thinking of visiting Jambiani

United KingdomLike most of the hotels in Zanzibar, the cost of the room was quite high The bathroom has a very strange set up as there is no door and the toilet backs onto the bed by the opening (50cm from the bed to the toilet). I think a door needs to be put on. No shampoo or conditioner provided, just shower gel. For the price of the room would have expected this Apart from the Swahili night on a Thursday the food was average. Try the pizza at the restaurant next door!
The service was 10/10, all the staff were so friendly The pool area was nice which was just off the beach Thursday night they have a buffet and performance night, where the food was varied and tasty On the beach which you can walk along at low and high tides Just a note (not positive or negative) for future travellers that there is no fridge or no TV in the room

PortugalThe beach itself wasn’t the best we had in Jambiani, but it was nice and the low tide wasn’t that low, so you could always swim.
Everything went super well! The hotel was quiet and you can relax by pool with the beach view! The staff was genuinely nice and helpful. The best experience we had in zanzibar.

SpainI can't think of a single thing we didn't like.
The whole place was exceptional! The staff, the food, the room, the location, and our experience at The Loop was 10/10. The staff, from the cleaning girls, bar staff, reception, massage ladies, and the maintenance crew were all amazing, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. I am surprised this resort does not have a 5* rating! We cannot wait to visit again, and wish we could have stayed for longer. I would like to keep this place a secret as it was probably the best holiday we have had anywhere in the world, (and we have been all over!) but we enjoyed it so much we just have to say how great it was. Thanks to everyone from Joyce, Barnaba, Lucia, Olivia, Mona, and Makkame and everyone we have forgotten to mention, but we loved them all... I have not been paid to say these great things about The Loop....you just have to go and stay there to see that it's all 100% true! See you soon guys and girls! xxxx

TanzaniaWonderful Stay at The Loop Hotel in Zanzibar! We had the great pleasure of spending our vacation at The Loop Hotel, and we are absolutely thrilled! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and this sense of hospitality and kindness stayed with us throughout our entire stay. The team at The Loop is simply exceptional – incredibly friendly, attentive, and always eager to fulfill every wish. The service is outstanding, truly on a level we have rarely experienced. The rooms are a dream: very clean, stylish, and decorated with great attention to detail. You can tell that comfort and creating a special atmosphere were top priorities, making the stay truly unforgettable. We felt completely at ease from the first to the last day and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. The Loop is a place where you feel right at home – only with the breathtaking charm of Zanzibar. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for the perfect combination of relaxation, excellent service, and warm hospitality. Thank you for this wonderful vacation – we will definitely be back! Best regards, Julia and Jens

United StatesThe outdoor seating cushions were a bit thin so they were too hard after a while. The music was too loud sometimes. We would have liked more information about the island activities we signed up for so we could prepare better and have everything we needed.
Pool was enjoyable with great view of the ocean. The staff was attentive and engaging. The food was served hot and tasted delicious.

TurkeyI loved everything about this property. Starting from the staff, who were absolutely amazing to the food served in the restaurant. The atmosphere was very relaxing and even though you are literally at the beach, you still feel secluded being surrounded by all the beautiful palm trees. The pool was just perfect and though I am 100% beach person, I still found myself in the pool a few times a day :) Loved my room overlooking the pool and all the details that have been so carefully considered to make one's stay as comfortable as possible.

AustraliaThe design of the shower head could be improved. But that’s being very picky. Had a slight hiccup with renting a scooter through the hotel, thought we had paid for it as a part of our outstanding balance at checkout but didn’t realize it wasn’t in the total. I then had to figure out how to transfer money whilst traveling through Tanzania. Not a big deal, slight mis-understanding. But just something to know.
This an amazing resort. The staff put in a lot of effort and are very attentive. Cocktails were very good. Room was great, big bed and good air conditioning! Bathroom was nice and clean. Right on an awesome beach!

AustraliaWe stayed here for 4 fabulous nights early October, after a couple of nights in Stonetown and a safari on Tanzania and Kenya! We were so glad we picked this resort due to it's location, size of the resort and value for money! Jambiani is an authentic village in Zanzibar, with seaweed farming, right outside the resort on the beach, so you can have a taste of the true culture. However this does not take away any comforts or luxury from the resort - all the rooms are situated around this amazing pool, which then had views of the beach. The staff were amazing, and the food was excellent! You also had alternative restaurants just short walks up the beach. Make sure you go for a sail and/or snorkel with "Mr Coconut" on a traditional dhow.

Location fantastic. Lovely pool, restaurant and bar areas. The room was a great size. Lots of sun beds and space around the pool. The whole property was spotlessly clean. The staff were excellent. Efficient, helpful and friendly. The buffet/show night was very good.
