We loved this place. It was love at first sight!.
On my previous trip to Kiwengwa I found a very quiet and wonderful view beach bar. I used to... read more have a drink every day at this bar, where the bartender by name Goodwin was always smilling.
Then I decided to visit this hotel as a potential guest, and the manager was very willing and prompt, and he offered me something unexpected, a lovely weekend, in one of the best sea view bungalow. The accomodation price is very good according to this location and spectacular view.
I want to mention, that I lived for 5 weeks so far in Zanzibar, and this is the most beautiful place I used to stay on this island.

  The Shooting Star Lodge was the perfect end to our trip to Tanzania. All of the employees went out of their way to make sure that we had a... read more wonderful stay. There was a problem with the original room that my sister and I had booked, so they ended up giving us each our own room. Both were so spacious and comfortable with amazing ocean views. This is a very low key property that is not like their larger and louder neighbors. I would call it "boho chic", which is perfect for me. The common areas were lovely, well maintained and comfortable. We especially liked the beach bar. The kitchen turns out amazing food with different choices each evening. We were only there for one lunch, but I had a fabulous eggplant, feta and caper salad. It made me wonder what was offered on the other days that were there. A cooked to order breakfast was offered in the morning, and I recommend the Spice Tea with Steamed Milk. It also seemed that quite a few of the other guests were return customers, and I can see why. I would love to return one day. More
