Los dueños muy majetes y atentos.Posted on B Matcham17 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly staff. We ordered the ribs . They were burnt and almost inedible. The onions were also burnt. It want not cheap but I didn't complain, I wouldn't go back for that. Its under new management, good luck guys.

Thank you for your review, we always take notice of all feedback. Since we started our business, ribs have only been served to one guest, and according to our records, it was not you. Regarding the salad, it is always prepared with fresh onions, so the comment about burnt onions does not reflect our usual preparation. However, we appreciate your feedback and will review it with our team to continue improving our service.Posted on M Bouzo15 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best place in Zanzibar. Great ambience! I celebrated my birthday there and loved it! Amazing food… don’t miss croquetas, ceviche, Zanzibar pizza and Wednesday evening with pasta and karaoke night… Owners Alberto & Katty are the best hosts! Staff always helpful and with a big smile! Thanks to everyone! xx P.S.: they also arrange the best excursions on the island!

I ended up prolonging my stay for various weeks. Quite out of the common well trained and professional staff. Very good vibes and a good breeze naturally flowing from the ocean which makes it even better. Most places are cooking at this time of year but this one is just extremely well located. In every sense. Good, relaxed and chilled atmosphere. Will be back👍

Wir haben schon lange im voraus dieses Hotel gebucht - zu dem Zeitpunkt war es noch in anderem Besitz - wir sind darauf aufmerksam geworden, da es auch Vespen zu vermieten gab. Allerdings hat der Besitzer zwischenzeitlich gewechselt. Der alte Besitzer hat uns aber versichert, dass der neue Besitzer Alberto ein sehr netter Zeitgenosse sei. Dies hat sich auch in jeglichen Belangen erfüllt. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und darauf hingewiesen, dass momentan Renovierungsarbeiten stattfinden. Das ganze Personal war sehr freundlich und wir haben fast nichts von den Renovierungsarbeiten mitbekommen. Auch hat Alberto uns einen tollen Ausflug (Delfine schauen, Schnorcheln, Mittagessen auf einer Sandbank und Erkundung des Mangrovenwaldes) organisiert. Unser Wunsch für die Anmietung zweier Vespen inkl. Permit hat Alberto ebenfalls erfüllt. Eine der Vespen war sogar seine eigene. Einfach klasse. Was ebenfalls herausragend war, war das Essen dort.Wir haben jeden Abend dort bei Livemusik oder Karaoke gegessen. Jedes Gericht war super lecker und reichlich. Für uns war alles super. Auch das Maskottchen der kleine Affe und die beiden geretteten Katzen haben uns die Zeit versüsst. Wenn mal die Renovierungsarbeiten abgeschlossen sind, wird das King Simba Apartment Hotel ein Juwel. Einfach klasse - Auch wenn es nicht direkt am Strand liegt. Die Anlage hat Charme uns strahlt Gemütlichkeit aus. Nicht so wie die riesen Resorts direkt am Strand. Macht weiter so. Liebe Grüße Barbara und Dirk

What a transformation in such a short space of time. The new owner Alberto has put his heart and soul into this place and you can really tell the difference. The staff are amazing very helpful and accommodating. The food was great we really enjoyed the beef pilau and the Zanzibar pizza. Also the karaoke night is not to be missed even if you’re already in bweju and free on a Wednesday night make sure you attend. Can recommend the place enough.

Wonderful place to stay in Bwejuu. Peaceful environment, friendly staff, and a great swimming pool. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.Posted on H mataka19 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. King Simba exceeded my expectations! I stayed here with my family for four nights and we felt completely at home. The 2-bedroom apartment was perfect—clean rooms, reliable AC, strong WiFi, and a nice little kitchen. The restaurant food was fresh and delicious, especially the seafood. The staff arranged a scooter for us and even helped book our tours. Highly recommended!Posted on F Hatibu7 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing apartment, comfortable bedroom amazing views
