Below averageStayed with partner · For leisure
La camera niente di che,purtroppo il bagno era troppo piccolo con un lavandino piccolissimo che a malapena riuscivi a lavare le mani. Spessissimo mancava corrente elettrica e non sempre funzionava il generatore. Le camere con finestre sul generatore si era nell’impossibilità di dormire se acceso di notte. Fortunatamente per me ho chiesto ed ottenuto il cambio di camera per cui il rumore si è attenuato del tutto. Non ritornerei.

Below average Unfortunately, our stay was very uncomfortable.
Zanzibar has frequent power cuts. This property has a generator but the owner is reluctant to turn it on at night, apparently because other guests found it noisy.
On our 2nd night stay, at midnight the power went off completely and we were left with no lights, no A/C, no fan, and no electricity whatsoever. Soon the heat in our room became unbearable. We asked to speak to the owner and we spent over half an hour arguing for the generator to be switched on. Eventually, other guests also came out to complain and she switched it on. I asked about going to the bathroom without lights and she suggested using the torch on our mobile phones!!!
Either way, the A/C is not connected to the generator, so it remained unusable once the generator went on.
When there was power, the air conditioning didn’t work properly anyways, ours was set to 16°C, but made no difference.
On top of this, the Wi-Fi is very slow and unreliable.
Please note: This property has recently been renamed from Ellavita to KIVI Cottages so these comments apply to both properties.
