When we booked this hotel through expedia it was rated as a 5 star luxury hotel. We booked a 5 day, 4 night stay in their beach pavilion room and this was paid in full (Approx $1800). The pictures on expedia looked amazing and we were looking forward to spending our last leg of our trip at this property. Please see below the list of issues: - As soon as you walk into the room it smelled mouldy - The AC was not working so we immediately phoned reception and they moved us to the only other room on the beach, Pavilion 2 - When we first walked in, it was unclean as some just checked out - The bathroom and bedroom definitely need some updating - The bathroom sink faucets had no running water - The private pool was not swimmable as it was not to our standards - The main pool need some work as there was missing tiles - There was no beach towels - The beach had trash and rotting sea weed - Food was good but limited We did call expedia to see if we were able to change our hotel however we were told that the refund was not guaranteed therefore we did not have a choice but stay. However, The helpful and cheerful staff did make our stay somewhat better. I do believe that this property has great potential however there is some work to be done if this is to be advertised as a 5 star luxury resort. Overall the property and rooms needs some repairs and maintenance to bring it up to 4 - 5 star standard.

I am conflicted about this stay. This being our 6th vacation on Zanzibar, and island we have fallen in love with and her people. The pro are as follows. Beautiful Situation Beach is gorgeous Staff were friendly and attentive Food was great Rooms are clean and well proportioned with clean linen and fresh towels The cons are. The hotel needs maintenance, the thatching and beams in the rooms are rotting. The septic tank near the dining area omitted a pungent aroma quite often There are no working fridges in the rooms, spoke to the manager who promised to attend to it, but in over a weeks stay nothing materialised. There is a beach bar about 300m down the beach that plays music for their sunset party that plays until 22h00 at a very disturbing volume (saying that, if you can’t beat them, join them!) The lunch menu is very overpriced for what it offers, we went to the above mentioned beach bar for lunch on those days we stayed in the area. As a family of grandparents, parents and child we did enjoy our stay. Would I recommend Konokono, I don’t think so as there are so many options on the island. To grow their clients and encourage return quest the will need to do some serious maintenance.
