Jack's Rooftop Studio, an old-world hidden gem.
I had a verry nice stay at Arsheen's. The location is perfect in the hearth of Stone Town. She was verry helpful and so was Mushtaq.

5* flat with lagoon pool & balcony, near beach!
The place was absolutely amazing and as advertised in the photos. Ann-Sofie was also very quick to respond and super helpful at all times. The place was spotless and was the perfect getaway we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Stunning Seaside Apartment at Jambiani Beach
Beautiful place to stay! Very accommodating and friendly staff! Loved the outdoor bar, pool and oceanfront view!

ArtStudio in a tropical garden with pool
This is an architectural gem in a tropical garden with wonderful art in the gallery.Really inspiring.And only 250 m to a beach hotel or a lovely restaurant in the Mbweni Ruins and Gardens.And Markus is a superb host

Colonial flat with balcony & hidden garden
Loved Stefania’s cozy place right in the heart of StoneTown near both Emerson hotels. Loved to hear the neighborhood kids playing outside - it was the sound of unbridled joy. While western kids are labeled as ADHD because their parents want to give them drugs to be quiet, these kids are allowed to be free to release their energy and just be children. Loved all the friendly faces around. It was lovely. Thanks to Stefania as well as her helpers, Sara and Rama!! Great team!

Deluxe flat with private outdoor cinema & terrace
We had a few lovely days in Ann-Sofies apartment. Everything was as described and by far the best accommodation we had in Zanzibar. The host is super friendly and accessible. Will highly recommend this to everyone going to Paje!

Your getaway in nature! Private garden & pool view

Wakushi House with sea view, authentic, quiet
We loved loved loved our stay at Wakushi house. Rebecca and Amani were so helpful and sweet people to be around and their place is just amazing. It is simply beautiful and very airy which is important on such a hot island. But it was the little details that stood out- fresh flowers, self-colored towels and handmade soap (which you can also purchase as a souvenir). Rebecca was also super helpful to arrange some trips and even took me to her yoga class. This might have been my best Airbnb-find ever!

Lilli's House - Papaya apartment
Very nice house right at the beach in Kiwengwa. Very well equipped and clean. Teresa was so kind and helpful. The road that leads to the airbnb is a little bumpy. We really enjoyed our stay, the only negative point was the wifi. I‘m not sure if this was just in our case but it‘s very poor and sometimes not working at all. This is something that could be improved!

Idyllic Beach House
Our group of 5 was comfortably accommodated and spent so much time in the beautiful open treehouse upstairs. Even during the rain we were kept nice and dry upstairs. We enjoyed the food made by the private chef and all the staff were very accommodating and responsive! Visits from the dogs on the property were such a lovely addition. We felt very at home and would love to come back sometime, especially during another season when the swimming is better. Bonus - the sunsets from the gazebo around the corner from the beach were spectacular. Make sure you take advantage of the beautiful grounds and walks around the area!

Paradies Garden Best spot at the beach! OutsideBed
Thank you for the beautiful stay

Mwendawima Villa - Beach house with private chef
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 !!

Oceanfront Villa in Zanzibar
Very friendly owner and helpful for giving tips if you are a stranger. The villa is absolutely stunning and private to you so you can have a peaceful time. 15 minutes from Nungwi where you can find a lot options. We will be back as my friends and I love the place. Thanks for your hospitality.

Villa Meravigliosa a Zanzibar
Our stay in Uroa was wonderful. Emanuele put us in touch with his property manager who helped us with everything from airport transfers, setting up tours and even getting some medicine when some of our family came down with the flu. Uroa is a little bit remote in terms of amenities but that is what we were looking for. There are a few local restaurants within walking distance on the beach but not much more than that. We enjoyed walking the beach every day, swimming and wading out to the sand bar at low tide. There are also people/companies on the beach if you want to setup snorkeling tours or watersports. The caretaker and the housekeeper do a wonderful job keeping up the property and the housekeeper even made a few meals for us with the groceries we bought in Stonetown! The house was beautiful and in good repair. Beds were good and the pool was great to relax in. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, just what we needed at the end of our trip to Tanzania!

KAMILI VIEW casa MAMBO in Zanzibar

Raha Love Gorgeous 1B Garden apartment FumbaTown
Fumba Town is a very nice place to stay: close to the beach and not far from Stone Town and the airport. The apartment is very neat and with tasteful furniture and good facilities like a washing machine and vacuum cleaner. An umbrella came in handy too :-) because it was the rainy season. Kwetu kwenu beach club is nearby and chill with amazing sunset views. Highly recommended, the apartment and the town.

Welcome to kitauni apartment
Abdulla was so helpful, generous and kind, it was great to hear a bit about the family history of the building too - we enjoyed our short stay! Thank you!

Two Private room apartment in Stonetown Beach 7pax

Nyumbani Residence | Two Bedrooms Apartment
I can only recommend the place, from communication to booking, to transportation from the airport to the welcome and accommodation to the apartment, we were happy with everything. The family apartment provides plenty of space and excellent cooking facilities. The beds are very comfortable and the terrace is superbly adapted to relax in privacy thanks to the grown beautifully blooming bushes. Next, the generous breakfast included and 2 pools, at least one of which we had to ourselves at any time. The area is very well maintained, the pools are clean and the surroundings of the apartments are cared for. It's about a 5-minute walk to the beach, as well as the beginning of the village, where you can shop for everything you need, and also observe the local life while walking. Thank you so much to the owners and the entire staff for a great stay.

Deluxe Beachfront Penthouse - Stunning Ocean Views
The staff was the best part of the stay. They were amazing, especially Dan. The property is next to the beach and in the middle of a village. Seeing the African culture and way of living mixed with paradisiac views…was riveting. Several descent restaurants in the area as well. Will definitely book again.

Lovely 2-bedroom in an international community.
Incredible, serene and homely place in a quite neighbourhood with good security. Neat home, great furniture. I really enjoyed making breakfast in that kitchen, it had all the utensils we needed. And for the first time after a long while l got to eat breakfast made by my little brother, imagine. What an experience we had. Abdalrahman is a great host, always willing to assist and promptly responded to us. He even gave us good recommendations. Not only was Abdalrahman a great host, what made it even more special was that he partnered us with a great and reliable driver. We were picked up from the airport and that was the start of a memorable week. Yussuf (driver) took us to all the remarkable places and was also so helpful in breaching the language gap when we had to deal with other locals, he even taught us a bit of Swahili. We're definitely coming back!!!

Baobab V1 Villa Apartment(140m2)
Excellent stay thanks to Barbara who was very welcoming and she made my birthday special. I recommend and we will definitely come back!

Gorgeous 2-bed with ocean view patio in Zanzibar!
The stay at Mars place was excellent. The place looked exactly like the images. It was very clean as well which I liked. Mars was a very responsive and helpful host and would highly recommend this place. It is a bit of a distance to get to stone town but if you are in no rush theres several available taxis and tuk tuks you can hire. Thanks Mars.
