This is my second stay there. One thing that need to be improved is renovation as hotel is very old. House keeping does not fill room with coffees, teas when it's run out. Restaurant serves breakfast at 7 but staff does not come until 7:40. No beach towels even though hotel is closer to the beach. Those things need some improvement but other than that the area around hotel is nice, the old charm of the hotel is beautiful. But it looks like when staff see gay couple traveling together they gave you very unpleasant look

Poor manager decisions
Hotel overbooked, they had us going to a temporary stay, and then after one night coming back to the original hotel. How uncomfortable is having to check-out and check back in interrupting your stay/holidays. I was there for three days, and it ruined my entire second day for having to change hotel due to they overbooked. I booked my stay ahead of time, so it was not a last minute booking, no excuses.

The location is absolutely perfect for anyone who wants to walk around Stonetown. Several wonderful cafés and restaurants are nearby and pretty much everything is walking distance. The Beyt is an older simpler hotel much like Tembo House hotel. But everything is clean and good condition. Breakfast is simple but more than enough. The staff are friendly and sweet — a big thanks to Diana for making my check in and check out fast and easy!

The AC wasn't working and the plumbling in the room wasn't working and they couldn't put me in another room because they said they were sold out. I wanted to move to another hotel because I was not staying in those conditions they had the audacity to charge me for one night even though it was their fault I couldn't stay there. Never will I be looking at the hotel again. Never again.

I was seeking a charming boutique hotel for my stay in Stonetown, and Beyt Al Salaam exceeded my expectations. The staff were courteous and attentive, and went over and beyond. They all delivered exceptional service. As a single female traveler I felt safe and welcomed. I highly recommend this property and hope to return to Zanzibar and will definitely select this property again. Thank you to everyone of you and keep up the great work. The restaurant served the most delicious meals. Hats off to the Chef! And hats off to the management of the property. Thank you all.

Excellent boutique hotel
Very comfortable and well-equipped room (aircon, fridge, kettle), serviced daily. Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely restaurant in the hotel where breakfast served and other meals available. Excellent wifi. Cherry on the top was the swimming pool. Conveniently located with easy access to beach and Stonetown. Would happily stay here again.
