Our stay at the hotel was absolutely perfect. The location of the hotel was ideal. It is directly located at the beach, so you can go for beautiful walks along the beach. The property also has a fantastic restaurant, which serves a DELICIOUS breakfast, Lunch and dinner. There are fun activities like live music or karaoke on a daily basis. The property is an oasis of peaceful beauty with just the right amount of tranquility. The room was spacious with a lovely view of the palm tress and you can hear the ocean at night. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They attended to all wishes and helped us book amazing snorkeling and dolphin watching tours as well as an outing to the spice farm. Norbert made sure we had everything desired. Thank you so much !

- Outstanding Service: The level of service at Seles Hotel was simply outstanding. The staff, especially the barman and Aysha, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and attended to our every need. Their warmth and friendliness created a delightful atmosphere throughout our stay. They took the time to learn about our preferences, including our favorite dishes, making us feel like valued guests. It's rare to find such attention to detail, and it made our stay truly special. - Delicious Cuisine: The culinary experience at Seles Hotel was a highlight of our stay. The food was not only delectable but also showcased the chef's skill and dedication to providing a diverse and mouthwatering menu. Each meal was a delight to the senses.
Mosquito Issue at Night: One minor drawback of our stay at Seles Hotel was the presence of mosquitoes at night. While the overall experience was fantastic, the occasional nuisance of mosquitoes affected our comfort during the evenings.

We had an amazing experience at Sales Boutique Bungalows. We were there for 8 days, all the staff were kind, especially Aisha and Norbert. We felt a sense of home there, throughout the days we were taken care of, we saw that we were enjoying ourselves and that we had everything we needed. Every day they arranged our room, helped us organize trips for excursions. Breakfast is included in the price and very tasty. The food is of a very high standard, there is an excellent answer for meat and fish eaters as well as for vegetarians and vegans. All in all, we left very satisfied, and highly recommend!!

It was easy to relax with the bar counter, pool, and ocean right outside the room. The staff was cheerful and all seemed to be music lovers. I was delighted when they invited me to a nightclub late at night and drove me there. Every evening, we enjoyed beach fires and live music. It truly felt like enjoying a resort with the combination of the ocean, music, and drinks.
It was disappointing that the room had a musty smell due to humidity. Since there were no screens on the windows, it seemed like insects could enter, and ventilation was limited. It was necessary to keep the air conditioning on constantly to cope with the situation. It would have been better if there were better ventilation measures in place. While it wasn't ideal, it didn't become a major downside.

I love that the cosy hotel was situated on the beach. You could literally just walk from the bar to the beach which was amazing. Absolutely loved at the beach was quite local and not crowded or touristy. Most of all. I loved that the staff was so accommodating with our needs. We needed to check out later in the day and they did this for us, also I lost my charger and they were able to give me a charger during my stay. The food was out of this world so fresh and amazing so many nice options that accommodated our food to be eaten in the room which was great.
that I didn’t stay longer 🙂

The staff are fantastic. I wish I could remember all their names but unfortunately I can’t. I will shout out Aisha who made us welcome from the start to the finish. There was a beautiful long beach just in front of the hotel. The pina coladas ( shout out to the lovely young man who made them) and the food were delicious. The staff also helped make our wedding anniversary very memorable.

We had a sublime stay at The Seles! It was very comfortable and we loved soaking in the view from the deck every day. Latifa and Queenie did an outstanding job at hosting us. They helped us to book tours, gave us advice and were always super friendly. It would not have been the same without them. Two HUGE assets to The Seles :) The beach in front of the Seles is relatively quiet when compared to the other beaches that we saw. We felt very lucky to be where we were. We also loved that we could snorkel right there when it was high tide. Beautiful. We had a lot of fun at Karaoke as well as the New Year Party. We enjoyed both pools and our rooms: Tip - Ask to be put in the villas at the back because then you can enjoy the vibe but also enjoy some peace and quiet. When we booked we were worried that there would be loud music all the time but that wasn't the case at all. It was just right :)
Breakfast was disappointing. Perhaps there could be a cereal/yogurt option and include cheese for omlets? Also other spreads apart from Jam.. Peanut butter etc. I understand that getting supplies in is hard but when they are available - stock up.. it would make a huge difference. Would have been nice to have some Earl Gray or English Breakfast tea options to, but I know that is being quite particular. The wait staff and bartenders didn't seem very friendly and the service was slow.

Loved staying at Seles. Great atmosphere, really really good food. We opted to have all our meals here and was not disappointed. Breakfast has a variety to choose from and was more than enough. Try the Uroa Brunch: fabulous and different. Quiet side of Zanzibar. Beds and rooms super comfortable. Super clean bathroom with hot water. Staff amazing, owners always available and want you to have a good time. Live music everyday which was a big plus. Cocktail hour every day, was amazing!
Nothing to dislike. Only thing, which is not the hotel's fault obviously, is that the beach have extreme tides, but sea is still "swimable". We knew this before and took our "sea shoes:.

I was impressed how cosy and cute this place is. I feel so much at home and welcomed. The staff were quick to help on any requests. They fixed the clogged bathroom floor, install shower curtain quickly. beside a dive centre hence so convenient to go diving.
just you cannot really walk freely along the beach as a lot of local people trying to approach us to sell their tours. the water outside too shallow to swim. also not so safe to walk to nearby supermarket.
