Expedia's webpage description of hotel is wrong
Expedia said flights included in the price, booked two flights, hotel from 12/26/17 to 1/02/2018, only trouble there was a third flight required at a cost of $360US not include in the price, yet it said flights included,. That is where the trouble began. We couuld not get to the Hotel as booked, arrived at 7:10 at night, no transportation, no hotel that night, stayed at the Airport in Zanzibar overnight, yet booked/confirmation at Pemba Lodge for the 26th of December. Lost days accomodation, third flight on the 27th eventually to Pemba Lodge.

Eco hotel-the best setting to enjoy the island
Pemba Lodge is an eco-hotel with composting toilets, fresh fish meals, and solar and wind power. It is great for those who wish to enjoy the incredible beauty of the island and seeing all the stars. The east facing beach is exquisite and there is a western beach to watch the sunset. Sleeping to the roar of the ocean is a not to be missed experience as is the massage lady who comes from the nearby village. Visitors should know that the lodge is on an island and thus needs to be reached by a short boat ride, the boat picks up where the taxi from the airport stops. There is then a walk to lodge, not too far but must be factored in. The lodge staff are exceptional and lots to be learned from them. The food is five star and all meals provided.

Island paradise - the best beach you'll ever see
Pemba lodge is a paradise dream. It's an eco lodge so existence is simple but beautiful. The beach and the bay is the most stunning you will ever see - and staying there you almost have a private island to yourself! Suleman the manager and his team are amazing - very attentive and knowledgeable and the food is a real gem. Simple and local but straight out the sea. Massively recommend for anyone that wants to escape the world and be surrounded by beauty and nature

Il n’y a aucune piscine contrairement à ce qui est indiqué dans la description!! Déception donc totale! En plus qu’en raison des marées, la mer disparaissait toute la journée. Toilettes sèches, douches d’eau brune, des trappes à rats doivent être installées dans les chambres chaque soir, aucun choix de menu (vous mangez ce qui est préparé), aucun frigo sur le site, endroit très isolé, massages médiocres. Nous étions les seuls clients du séjour et avons compris pourquoi! A l’arrivée, nous avons marché dans la boue avec nos valises avant de prendre un bateau qui nous a menés à un sentier aride et une marche de 25 minutes sous Le Soleil ardent. Point fort: personnel très serviable, gentil et disponible

Unique experience on vast private beach
Side activities, while pricey, are highly recommended to make the best of this unparalleled journey away from civilisation.

Best stay ever.
Det var min bästa upplevelse någonsin. Trevligt bemötande enastående service från Ali och hans kollegor. Servicen i restaurangen var perfekt. Jag hade turen att få en dag då jag var helt själv här innan det kom fler gäster. När jag vaknade första morgonen såg jag guld i havet från solen. Jag avnjöt denna upplevelse med te som stod på verandan när jag klev ut på morgonen jag kände då att jag kommit till paradiset. Jag kommer att åka tillbaka hit det känns extra bra att det är en Eco Lodge.
