Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Stone Town

This place was perfect for what I needed and the host did an amazing job communicating and accommodating me.

Thani was very nice and helpful ! He also helped us book a taxi to move to Paje, gave us noce recommendations .The room was clean and smelled good and well air conditionned! It was placed in a really nice and safe neighbourhood near to many nice restaurants with beautiful view on the beach.

Thank you very much for bearing the early checkin and late check-out charges.

The ‘authentic Fumba apartment’ was amazing. It was sparkling clean and with all the amenities as advertised. Check in was swift and innovative. It has a magnificent view of the Indian ocean and the sunset. Efficiently working air conditioners, grocery shop, small restaurants, gym, swimming pool, ATMs nearby make for a comfortable and convenient stay. Polina responded promptly every time, was considerate and kind. I will definitely want to stay here again the next time I am in Fumba.

It’s my second time here and I enjoyed my stay once again. Wanja is a responsible host. Hope to stay there again.

We had a very comfortable stay, the unit was clean and spacious. The host was very responsive and courteous. Would use again.

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

Perfect place for group of six. Great facilities and very welcoming hosts.

There are a lot of Villas in Zanzibar, but there are not a lot of hosts like Sonia. And so staying at her villa was one of my best experiences in Zanzibar, and it’s my 4th visit to the Island. The villa is Pristine, the pool is crystal clear and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There’s plenty of light; you wake up to bird sounds in the morning and the way the sunrise streams into the house in the mornings is just beautiful. The beach is just a little walk through the village and I personally enjoyed watching and chatting with the locals. Sonia and her partner were always happy to help and provide recommendations for everything we needed. The icing on the cake is the complimentary pick up service. We were a group of 6 and we had enough space to all spend time together, and time apart. I will be back for sure.

Absolutely loved our stay here, the home was exactly like the photos if not better, we were welcomed with them most helpful, hands on, amazing staff. The location as well was perfect right on the beach and close to everywhere in Jambiani, would recommend this place if you are planning to come to Zanzibar !!

We brought a large group to stay at Prisca's place for two weeks. Prisca was very communicative and extremely accommodating. She purchased additional mattresses, sheets, and towels for our group. She purchased a water dispenser for us when we requested one. There were some problems in the house during our stay (which is common in Tanzania), but her local staff were quick to help us. The house is massive and can accommodate a lot of people and has A/Cs and water heaters throughout. The kitchen is big but not particularly well stocked; we needed to buy a bunch of our own utensils in order to properly cook for so many people. The location is pretty far north of Dar, but it was worth it for the great price and Prisca's great service.

Great place for a family in Fumba Town about 30 minutes south of Stone Town. Plenty of space for a family of five and the outdoor terrace upstairs was great in the mornings and evenings.

I decided to live in this guesthouse and not a hotel, because I really value family life. Exactly this wish and demand for my trip, to live together with locals and to make many contacts, was met by the Rafiki guest house. It is one of the cheaper accommodations in Zanzibar because it is not a comfortable hotel - but the focus is on being together, which I really appreciate. If you would like to establish close, friendly contacts quickly and easily, this guesthouse is really perfect for you because all the guests who live there and the owners of the guesthouse are incredibly open and helpful. William even picked me up from the airport and organized excursions and tours for me through acquaintances and friends. In the evenings we ate and partied together in the kitchen under open skies :) For me, this is the unique aspect of Rafiki Guesthouse: It creates honest and lasting friendships!
