Holiday rentals with breakfast in Zanzibar Archipelago

Definitely felt like we won the "Last-Minute Booking Lottery" with this property!!! Place was better than advertised, and I never had an Airbnb host as accommodating as Khalid. 15 minute drive got you to all of the fun and exciting things to do on the island of Zanzibar, and my man Khalid had everything line up for us to maximize our 3 days/2 nights there. Would recommend this to anyone as their first option if they want to get away from being in the noisy downtown area. Oh, can't forget, that pool was amazing...could've stayed in there all day.

Amazing, quiet and beautifull place that is even better than the photos. Friendly and responsive staff and good and well priced food. Really nice pool which we used a lot do to the heat, as the Ocean is really warm. 28-29 cel in feb. We loved the quiet surroundings in the villa and really at home. The Local community just outside the door was amazing to interact with and the Move Zanzibar community center just 250 m from the villa is a must. Seing the fishernan come in with the tides and all food they harvest in the Ocean is just outside the door. Just go there🤩especially if you like place that is away from the massive tourist crowds up north near Nungwi Biggest recommandations from us. 6 people (16-49) from Denmark and we the entire villa1. We were there in feb 2025. Thomas

A beautiful Airbnb and amazing host! The hospitality was great and the surprised breakfast being included was a plus. It was a bit hard to find, but once we did we didn’t want to leave! Wished we stayed at this Airbnb longer!

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 !!

Die Villa ist mit sie sehr viel Stil und Liebe eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin Patrizia sehr hilfsbereit und wirklich stilvoll. Die Gemälde an der Wand, die Bettwäsche aus Italien, die Details in der Villa und dann der Koch, der denn noch das Frühstück vorbereitet – es ist einfach nur zum Wohl fühlen und super!

Hanna, Inès et moi vous remercions énormément pour cet accueil unique. Le cadre est sublime, Paulette et Didier ont été aux petits soins avec nous. Nous nous sommes senti comme à la maison. Paulette a su répondre à nos besoins et nous a préparé un festin excellent (spécialité congolaise/swahili) avec des produits frais. Sa cuisine est faite avec amour et beaucoup d’attention. La décoration de chaque chambre et séjour commun sont magnifiques. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter et nous recommandons cette maison d’hôte. À bientôt!!

Wir waren 5 Tage in der Ocean Dream Villa und haben es sehr genossen. Die Lage ist einzigartig, man schaut durch Palmen an den Strand, es ist ruhig und sehr entspannend. Wenige Schritte und man ist im Meer. Stanley, der Manager ist immer gut erreichbar und kümmerte sich um unsere Wünsche und Halima bereitete ein tolles Frühstück zu und auch das Abendessen war phantastisch. Was die Schlafmöglichkeiten anbelangt, so ist der zweite Raum, direkt oberhalb es ersten gelegen, durch eine steile Treppe zu erreichen, nicht sehr groß und nicht durch eine Tür abgetrennt, also vielleicht mehr für Kinder geeignet? Unser Aufenthalt hat uns rundum gut gefallen. Wirklich, ein Ocean Dream.

Geweldige locatie aan het strand! Fijn, ruim huis. Heerlijk ontbijt dat wordt verzorgd door Fatima, en gastheer Haji -spreekt Engels- is altijd in de buurt voor informatie en hulp. Hij geeft ook goed kitesurf-les! Communicatie met Anne is heel makkelijk en snel. Het huis ligt pal naast Blue Reef - restaurant/lodge/sportschool- waar we heerlijk gegeten hebben. Lokale bewoners zijn dichtbij. Lopen de tuin in om afval op te halen of vragen of je verse kokosnoten wil. Daar zijn wij dol op. Houd rekening met verkopers op het strand. Wij liepen rustig door en zeiden thanks but no thanks. We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Beste huis in Jambiani volgens ons.

Zanzilywood is good place for those looking peaceful surroundings in an isolated location. The grounds include a pool and store with all the items you need. The apartments are very spacious. If anything is missing, the hosts are quick correct the situation. Moreover, the host can arrange for your transportation both near and into Stonestown. I was satisfied with my stay.

The apartment is perfect for walking to restaurants and enjoying the beautiful beach. Different to most airbnbs we’ve stayed at - Not totally private as it is more of a family hospitality feeling rather than hotel style airbnb. We appreciated the local recommendations and daily clean, comfortable bed, breakfast, meals on request, and the onsite general manager. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and flexible for timings. It is Zanzibar so expect some small hiccups such as short power/wifi/water cuts - a small price to pay for paradise.

Benard is truly a Superhost! From the moment i arrived, he made feel welcome and ensured i had everything needed for a comfortable stay. His attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were exceptional. The space was spotless and well-equipped, and his thoughtful touches made all the difference.

Es war ein toller Urlaub mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps für Ausflüge in der Umgebung. Das Haus ist komplett neu und wird liebevoll von Lisa und ihrem Mann gepflegt. Alles war sehr sauber und das Frühstück gesund und nahrhaft. Wie man es sich wünscht :) In 5 Gehminuten ist man an einem tollen Naturstrand, der nicht von vielen Touristen belagert ist und man hat seine Ruhe. Mit dem Mopedtaxi kann man jederzeit in die Stadt, bzw. sich auch Sachen ins Airbnb liefern lassen… das ist wirklich ein toller Service. Wenn man einen längeren Ausflug plant, sind die Gastgeber stets zu Hilfe einen Wagen mit Fahrer zu organisieren. Im Airbnb ist keine Kilmaanlage, was aber nicht stört, da im oberen Stock stets ein guter Luftstrom durch die Deckenventilatoren + Balkon entsteht. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Emmanuel's place is just the best to catch an early flight or to find a bed after a long and late flight from / into Zanzibar. The Hotel is just a short walk from the Airport (domestic / international). Emmanuel is very helpful, communication couldnt be better. I can warmly recommend the accomodatinon

Very nice and secure property with a nice atmosphere. Beds were comfortable. The restaurant down the street is really good and they deliver right to your door.

Merci beaucoup à Judith, qui a été très reactive et m à proposé des solutions pour que je me sentes à l'aise à zanzibar. Hote super !!! Je recommande à 100%

Many thanks for the nice Apartment. We enjoyed very much

Amazing place! If you're looking for a calm stay away from the most touristic areas this is it. Lovely decorated and close to a perfectly empty beach. We really loved it, hope to be back soon. Can totally recommend this place especially for families.

Mein Aufenthalt bei Simona und Mustafa war großartig. Ich habe mich sofort wie zuhause gefühlt. Simona ist eine großartige Gastgeberin. Die Unterkunft ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet und ist eine kleine ruhige, grüne Oase in bester Lage, in der man nah am Strand gelegen ist und trotzdem Ruhe und Entspannung finden kann. Für mich war dieses kleine Paradies eine der schönste Unterkünfte in ganz Zanzibar. Ich würde jedem empfehlen hier ein paar schöne Tage zu verbringen. Ich komme wieder, vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit bei Euch🙏🏽

Just back from a lovely 6 night stay at Pemba Moonlight. It is a great place and Said and his family have put so much effort into the place. The bungalows are comfortable but occasionally the showers are a bit average. To be fair, the water supply to the whole area has been very patchy since the main water pipe burst so all water has to be tankered in. Breakfasts are good and we ate there every evening when we had a home cooked meal provided by Said's wife. On our last day we went on a visit to Tumbe fish market and bought 2 large red snapper fish and Said cooked them perfectly for us. Said was so helpful in organising some trips for us. He personally took us to the spice farm nearby and then on to Wete to see the flying foxes take off into the air at sunset. Definitely a trip to do. Another trip worth doing is the forest walk in the rain forest, the trip to the Fish market, Vimawimbi beach and finally the Seaweed ladies who make seaweed soap in the village very close by the guesthouse. The beach which is about 200m from the guest house has really good snorkelling (you have to swim out quite far to about level with the Manta Underwater hotel room) but when you get there the coral and fish are absolutely superb. There is no regular wifi at Said's but for a one off $5 charge, the nearby Ayiana hotel will put their password into your phone so you can use their's as much as you want. We went there for cocktails and/or beers and sometimes also used their infinity pool and they were super friendly. Sadly the Manta resort does not allow any non-residents to enter its grounds and is positively unfriendly to all locals and tries to stop them going on its beachfront. Such a shame really but what is Manta's loss is Ayiana and Pemba Moonlight's gain. If you want a good value authentic local guesthouse experience then go to Pemba Moonlight.

Eine wirklich süße Unterkunft. Die Besitzer sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Lage ist sehr ruhig und friedlich. Wir waren insgesamt 8 Tage hier zu Gast und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Frühstück war jeden Tag anders, immer mit einem Teller frischem Obst und gutem Kaffee. Das Wasser in der Dusche ist etwas salzig aber nichts worüber man sich beschweren sollte. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und kommen gern wieder.

If you're looking for an unforgettable stay in Zanzibar, this is the place to be! From the moment you arrive, the hospitality is exceptional. They are incredibly generous, warm, and attentive—and helped us customize our tours and arranged transportation, saving us so much money! The location is ideal: just a short 5 to 10-minute walk to Jambiani Beach, with Paje also easily accessible. Plus, the property offers all the amenities you could need, including a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine. This makes it perfect for longer stays . The breakfast is delicious, and everything you could need for a comfortable stay is thoughtfully provided. For the price, this place offers incredible value—it's an absolute gem and one of the best Airbnb experiences I have had. We miss you and Zanzibar - thank you so much

We spent almost a month in this house. The room is great, the place is quiet and everything is green. There were very tasty and varied breakfasts. The room was always clean, bed linen and towels were changed regularly. Special thanks to Mudi for this! When the electricity was out on the island, this house always had electricity and Wi-Fi, which made remote work comfortable at any time. I would like to separately mention the owners Simona, Musa and their wonderful daughter Jamilla :) Wonderful people with whom it is interesting to communicate, from the first minutes it became clear that these people treat their guests very warmly and love to host people. We will definitely come to Simona and her family to visit again!

Simba und sein gesamtes Team haben sich zu jeder Zeit um einen gekümmert, egal ob es mitten in der Nacht war oder ganz in der Früh. Die Unterkunft hat mit die beste Lage auf Zanzibar, da man sich ganz entspannt am nahegelegenen Strand Sonnen kann oder doch abends mal zum ausgehen in die nächste Stadt fahren kann. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Das Essen ist super. Simba sorgt sich nicht nur um seine Gäste sondert hilft seinen Mitarbeitern bei jedem Anlass, das kriegt man nicht überall. Wir freuen uns solche herzlichen Menschen kennenden zu dürfen.

This place is really amazing, i loved the cleanness, the host was really amazing we felt like home, cared and we had beautiful memories i will certainly come back to this place. Thank you for making our stay memorable.
