    I got great value for my money staying at this beautiful hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and had lovely touches like fresh flowers on the bed. The location was perfect, right on a private and clean beach, and the staff treated me like family, going above and beyond to make sure I had a fantastic stay.

    Breakfast delights, but could use more variety and quantity.

    The staff were terrific, any requests were dealt with immediately and everyone seemed to know us by name, which really adds a personal touch and makes you feel part of the family. The place is not big , so you never get the feeling that it is crowded. This resort is at one end of the beautiful white sand beach, so has a quiet, personal feel. The two bedroom villa we stayed in is spacious and private - set in lush bush a short walk to the white sand beach, with its own swimming pool, rooftop gazebo and a large outdoor bathtub on the outside roof area too. The tours booked through the hotel were terrific. We would highly recommend the private snorkeling trip that ended with a seafood BBQ at the beach. It was the best seafood meal we have ever had by a long way. Overall we were more than happy to live with the limited food selection to have all the benefits of an uncrowded, beautiful and very well run resort.

    Felt very much at home, no complaints.

    Had a wonderful Xmas experience at a small hotel in Zanzibar. The location was perfect, with a beautiful beach and stunning views. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious, especially the Christmas buffet. The rooms were comfortable and had all the necessary amenities.

    There were a few minor drawbacks. The rooms were a bit small and lacked a fridge to cool drinks.

    The value for money at Shooting Star Boutique was excellent and the room was cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful escape while still being close to activities and restaurants. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home.

    The hotel breakfast menu could use some improvement in terms of variety and quantity.

    We had an incredible stay at Shooting Star and were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views. The recently renovated communal areas were relaxed and inviting, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. The food menu, although not perfect, still offered a good variety and the a la carte options were exceptional. We were particularly impressed with the caring and attentive staff who made us feel welcome throughout our stay. we highly recommend this boutique gem.

    The hotel had beautiful scenery, including a stunning beach and breathtaking views from the common areas. The food was excellent, especially the buffet on Christmas day. The rooms were well-equipped with useful amenities like kangas and beach baskets. The staff, including the helpful manager, George Maina, provided great service, even administering first aid when needed.

    Nothing to complain about at all.

    Wow, I really got my money's worth at this hotel! The room was amazing, so spacious and comfortable, it felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect, right by the beautiful Indian Ocean, and the staff treated me like royalty. They were so friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.

    Hotel breakfast could have had more variety, but everything else was fantastic.

    I recently stayed at the Shooting Star Boutique Hotel for a week and it was an absolute delight. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. From personalized service to quick responses, they made us feel like part of the family. The hotel's intimate size created a peaceful and uncrowded atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We stayed in a spacious two-bedroom villa with its own private pool, rooftop gazebo, and even an outdoor bathtub on the roof. The hotel's tour options were fantastic, especially the private snorkeling trip and seafood BBQ on the beach. The food was delicious, and overall, the experience was exceptional.

    100% Recommend this hotel.
