Amazing property. Secluded, with incredible views. With only 17 bungalows, if you want privacy and tranquility this is your place. The food is delicious, the staff accommodating (the dining staff extended lunch time by an hour just to accommodate us). Eclectically cool decor. Affordable luxury... highly recommend

Terrible

No record of booking
No WiFi, except at reception
No card payments
Food is bad

Booking included breakfast but was charged for breakfast everyday, we only ate breakfast once.

Had one lunch, was charged for multiple lunches.

Food and drink, heavily overpriced.

Hotel owner called me accusing me of not having a reservation, and wanted me to email her my bank statements.

We thought the service at the Kasha was absolutely amazing! The staff was excellent and made sure everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived.

The food was good although for a longer trip I could see it being a little repetitive. The property is absolutely beautiful with stunning views.

We thought the villa was excellent and a great experience.

The only real downside is the location. While it is absolutely beautiful it is definitely a bit isolated and the roads to access the property are in less than great condition.

The road to the place generally requires a higher clearance vehicle. Staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful rooms with great views! Staff were very very friendly. Food was great. Only negatives are the road getting to the hotel and the amount of sea urchins in the ocean. I would definitely come back!

Beautiful place and views but secluded

Our check in was at 3am and although this was communicated to staff prior our arrival, no one but the security were there to greet us. Once the manager turned up, he stated he was unaware of our arrival and blamed the ‘reservations team’. He appeared irritated from having been woken up and was rude. It was also my birthday and the staff decorated my bed in the morning and the chef baked me a cake. Both lovely gestures. However, we continued to experience issues with management and were left abandoned at another hotel after we had arranged a taxi through the hotel. We received no explanation or apology. Also, as the hotel is in a secluded location, you need a car to get around. During our stay, we found it hard to find a reliable driver which resulted in us using several different ones. There is also nothing to do at the hotel, no Gym or spa facilities, no music, acts or events. Just a pool and a private tub. Not many guests were present so there was no one to interact with, apart from the staff who were lovely. We were continuously told it was a relaxation and tranquility hotel to justify the silence and lack of things to do. The food was good but overpriced. There was also a lack of food options, with the same breakfast menu seven days in a row. The lunch dinner, and in particular the snacks menu options were also limited. Not recommended for those who wish to get a real sense of Matemwe and surrounding areas, and for those wishing to relax and have fun during their stay.

Nice Relaxing Hotel with beautiful Sea views

Our overall impression of the hotel was great. The rooms are very spacious with an additionally spacious outside area to relax in privacy. The private plunge pool was a nice touch although we also really enjoyed the main pool as it was quiet and there was always great seating with a stunning view.
The staff were very friendly and attentive however we are not the kind of people who like to be fussed over so this was sometimes overwhelming.
The manager was nice but we felt that there was a lack of information we received about what there was to do. It would have been nice to have a better welcome booklet that provided in more detail the things you could do around the area. Whether it be a tour or simply a water taxi to a nice beach.
The road to the hotel is very bumpy. We had been on Safari the days before and still found it very bumpy. It is about 20-30 mins to the main road. Luckily we only had to use it when we arrived and left as the DivePoint trip Picked us up by Water taxi.
All and all a good relaxing time after a 4 day safari.

Liked friendliness of staff, ocean view, pool, grounds. Rooms nice but musty smelling. No screens on window's. Used A/C at night & could not hear ocean.
Did NOT like road conditions getting to hotel.
Needed more selections for main entree for dinners.

Peaceful and Romantic Hotel

We stayed at Kasha for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The villas were very private, with conditioning, a comfortable bed, a mini fridge, and a private pool. The private pool was relatively clean and was great to step in. The rooms were very spacious and open to lots of natural lighting. The hotel staff was kind, yet they seems to be not very well trained in elite hotel manners. Overall the staff was friendly and relatively timely (compared to other places in Tanzania/Zanzibar where service is extremely slow). Place was great for a romantic getaway, staying in our villa, relaxing and enjoying the view was ideal.

Fantastic sea views with private pool

The place is very nice, room is big, clean, the views are amazing! Great to relax and do trip to mnemba for snorkling with one ocean (they pick you up). Friendly staff, we really enjoyed it. We spent 2 nights here as part of our honeymoon.

Great boutique hotel, perfect for relaxing in a calm and picture perfect environment. Staff all very friendly, attentive and welcoming. Food isn't particularly cheap and often missing something that was detailed on the menu with no substitute or pre explanation. Over all a fantastic hotel, great views and perfect pool. Much quieter then other parts of the island so not a base to explore from but the perfect location to relax in the true beauty of Zanzibar.

Excellent location and view, disappointing food an

The hotel rooms, location views are excellent. The staff is generally very helpful and are really trying.
At the same time though, when taking food off the set menu it seemed prepared without attention and perhaps the menu is just very set. On the first morning, moreover, the kitchen was out of eggs; I have never experienced that anywhere before.
I have to say that if I pay 20-50 US$ for a room, I do not necessarily mind that they run out of eggs, or that I have a cold (ish) shower in the morning, or that there seems to bend/limited power back up, even for Internet and other low intensity services. When the rate, as for this hotel, is significantly higher, for a room, my expectations are somewhat different.

Amazing

Amazing! Really lovely, so well taken care of by the staff. Beauty secluded bungalows, spacious and beautiful with lovely bathrooms. Great for snorkelling, diving and water adventures. Great food but a very small undiverced menu. So a bit far from other restaurants but it’s only a question of laziness. Loved it and would love to go back soon!
