Pros +
- Lovely staff, very clean, very nice rooms and pool, good breakfast, restaurant was also really nice.
- Please read this review to protect yourself and avoid this place at all costs!
- The food is good and the staff is friendly. The hotel is really modern and nicely decorated
Cons -
- When we travel, we always choose hotels with private territory and security to feel safe and not worry about our belongings. This time, we followed the same principlebut unfortunately, something went terribly wrong. Please search YouTube for our video titled: Highland Bungalows Zanzibar $450 Stolen from Our Room (Hidden Camera Footage). It clearly shows why you should never stay at this hotel. While we were at breakfast, someone watched us sit down, then used a key to enter our bungalow and searched through our bags. A total of $450 was stolen. We filed a police report and showed the hotel management the video evidence. They promised to return the moneybut the owner, Britta, just waited for us to leave the island. We gave them a week to resolve the issue quietly, but nothing happened. This is the first review Ive ever written in my life, because Ive never experienced theft in a hotel or such indifference from the management toward such a serious issue. We asked the receptionist: Is this the first time guests have had money stolen here? No, but you're the first ones with this kind of proof.
- The beds are really hard we had some backpain the first nights.
