    There's not much to say, but given the supernatural vibe, it's normal to occasionally have some bugs in the room but the staff prepares the room every night and assists with everything you need.

    This hotel is the perfect location for anyone looking to relax and disconnect! It has everything you need for an amazing stay. The staff is incredibly friendly, with special thanks to Aysha, who was attentive and very helpful!

    We loved our stay at Sevi. The room with an ocean view was stunning. The staff was so attentive to us (a special thank you to Aisha at the restaurant for her kindness!). We could feel that this place was built with a lot of care and love! Bravo!

    The pool needed a bit of an update. Too many plastic bottles of water. There should be water stations around the property where guests can get a recyclable cup with ice and fill from a water jug. Some of the service staff English was poor and so it was difficult to communicate orders and mistakes were made. But that is my fault I should know more swahili.

    The location is EXCELLENT! Private bay with only one other property. The food is outstanding!

    Really loved our stay at Sevi Boutique Hotel. Communication pre-arrival was smooth and the team was extremely helpful! Location is great with beautiful beach, and located very close to Mnemba Island (which you can and should visit - and Sevi Boutique Hotel organizes excursions there with their boat). The Bungalows are large and very nicely decorated, outside area with swing was absolutely a plus! Food was incredible, we had a few meals and all very very good, and we were served fantastically by Salum (which we thank). We had a fantastic time and absolutely reccomend staying here.

    It would have been nice to have the option of ordering lunch by the pool. The service in the restaurant around lunch time was a little slow, which takes time out of your day.

    The hotel gardens and pool areas are beautiful and the rooms very spacious. We came for snorkeling and diving by Mnemba island and for that, the location was perfect. The beach is very pretty as well, although not for swimming. The staff were all very friendly.

    - [ ] Potential Improvements: Some of the linen/towels should get replaced as old/marked. ‘Evening turn down’ maid always arrived while we were showering for dinner. Plunge pool by roof should get cleaned more often.

    - [ ] Good Points: Lovely staff!!! Great excursions. Some of the best food on the island. Nice/Not busy beach. Very close to Mnemba Atoll, the best underwater wildlife on the island.

    The most perfect little spot - do yourself a favour and stay here if you come to Zanzibar

    There was nothing we didn't like about this place. The beach did have some seaweed, but we understood that was common across most beaches that time of year (also, it's just part of nature). Even still, staff raked the beach every morning to ensure guests could enjoy as much as possible. The only real thing I didn't like was that we had to leave!

    This place was even better than expected. Firstly, the property is absolutely beautiful. Tucked away in a little cove on a powdery white sand beach, with all the bungalows surrounded by lush greenery, it truly felt like paradise. Our little bungalow was perfect - clean, spacious, and even had our own private plunge pool and hammock. We always looked forward to our meals as the food was always fresh and never disappointed. The staff were also incredible and really made our stay. Haji was fantastic, welcoming us on our first night and guiding us through our first Swahili dinner. Fabian was lovely and very helpful. He was always around chatting to us and the other guests and assisting if we needed anything (and helped organise our excursion to Mnemba Island). Salum was also wonderful (and very funny!) and made our last night a blast. This is just to name a few who stood out, but everyone who works at SeVi is friendly, kind, and clearly cares about making guests feel welcomed and at home. There are so many hotels and resorts on the island, many of which seem to be heavily commercialized and designed with mass tourism in mind. If you're coming to Zanzibar for a holiday, do yourself a favour and avoid those places and stay here instead. SeVi is the perfect blend of local and luxury and offers everything you could want for a relaxing stay. Will definitely be back!
