A charming lodge in front of Indian Ocean on the most beautiful beach with white sand. Amazing view from all the villas and especially from the swimming pool. Gardens with many beautiful trees around the villas designed with taste. A small human sized hotel I love to be with typical furnitures in the villas. A place where to rest, to breath and enjoy nature. Meals are really great : fish, lobster, fresh fruits... enjoying zanzibar creative cooking. From this place you can walk on the beach, collect shells, snorkel, dive, visit villages around, enjoy massages with Regina's golden hands, or just rest and enjoy the view with a cocktail... Thanks to the owners and the staff especially Fatma I spent a great week there. À place where to enjoy life.

We checked into the hotel and everything seemed all right at first. The hotel was almost empty and the counter tops, tables and chairs were sticky because they’d never been cleaned. Then, lying in bed, the mattress stunk like an old canal and the bedroom pillows had blood stains on them. When confronting the owner about it, he didn’t give a tiny rats bottom about it and told us to leave. Please stay away and avoid this place!

Shooting Star's highlight was the amazing infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The garden view room decorated in modern zanzibari style was charming. The bathroom was beautiful. We had lunch and dinner in the restaurant and the food was amazing. The buffet breakfast was the best I had in Zanzibar. The sandy beach was steps down from the lodge and it was amazing to have long walks in the coastline. The owner and all staff were very friendly. The wireless connection was good.

We stayed in Shooting Star for 5 nights in Garden View room. This type of room is not a big one, but it has a huge bed and nice bathroom. There were nice touches like the complimentary tea or coffee every morning at 07.00 at our terrace. They spray the rooms so no real problem with mosquitos. Without any doubt, the BIG PLUS is the swimming pool! What can I say, the view from there is WOW!! Zadani, the barman was a big + with his charmness and his nice drinks! Chris, the Manager, tried his best. Fortunately, there are not many rooms, so the hotel is quiet. The place is only for people who need to relax. Of course you can go down to the beach to sit on the hotel's hamocks and feel completely relaxed! But some meters away are big Italians hotels and not so quiet.

After climbing Mount Meru and a Safari Trip in Tanzania we were very happy when we arrived at Shooting Star Lodge in Zanzibar for 7 days of relaxing in the Sun. The hotel itself is very nice and cozy. If you like to have your privacy and not many people around you this is the perfect place to stay and relax. The food they serve at the restaurant is very delicious and fresh. The menu changes every day so even when you have a longer stay you have a big variety in foods and can choose between fish, meat or vegetarian. The Staff is very nice and always helpful. If you have any questions or concerns they will take care of it. At the Pool you will always find a spot to lay at. For rooms we can highly recommend the sea view cottages they have its own private chill spot right in front. All rooms are equipped with AC, Fan, safe and mosquito net. The owner is also very present and always up for a small talk. We enjoyed our stay at shooting star lodge and when returning to Zanzibar we would definitely come back here.

My stay here showed me that there is truly something about a property that is owner run and managed. This little beauty is a great example of entrepreneurship. It is run and managed by the owners and you would think that would be too much for only two pairs of hands but the service delivery and design execution is exquisite. The attention to detail, the care and the love thrown into the property is so evident in every little aspect of it. Elly and his wife have managed to ensure Shooting Star Lodge remains an authentic, barefoot paradise with deep connections to its traditional roots. Special mention to the staff at this little piece of paradise, they are amazing, so kind and considerate, I felt like I was the only guest that mattered but I am sure everyone felt this way with how wonderful they are.

Incredible experience at Shooting Star lodge. We had our wedding here and the all of the staff couldn’t have made has feel anymore more welcome! They made a huge effort to make our wedding and our stay special with private beach dinners, a surprise last night romantic and plenty more in-between! Stunning location, excellent food and Wilson and George looked after us perfectly! Thanks again all!

The resort was very beautiful with amazing swimming pools. You are surrounded by nature and have a beautiful sand beach. There‘s a small beachbar which we enjoyed during the hot afternoons. The service and food was amazing. The resort is an amazing get-away spot in Zanzibar.
