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.

Johari
Modern, stylish apartment, in a quiet location, near restaurant's and coffee shops.

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!

Unique 1 bedroom apartment
A gorgeous gem of a place located a minute walk to the beach, yet tucked away from the hustle & bustle. This place really offered a sense of serenity nestled away… The apartment was spacious with an open plan kitchen, dining area, and veranda where you can sometimes see the kites flying, and was a great place to chill with friends. The dogs are adorable and made the place feel like home. With so many activities in Paje this place was a miracle find to be so central to all the tours and sports on the island 🏝️. Thank you 🙏

Noor House: Modern & Bright Apt @ The Soul, Paje
Incroyable séjour dans cette magnifique résidence, et que dire de la sympathie de Noor, sa réactivité tout est top, l’appartement est super bien aménag, les chambres spacieuses et illuminé. Je recommande à 1000% 😌

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

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!

ArtStudio in a tropical garden with pool
Absolut schöne Unterkunft. Die Galerie ist etwas sehr besonderes und die Umgebung sehr ruhig und sicher. Markus hatte viele Tipps auf Lager und er hat alles organisiert, das ich nachts einchecken konnte. Ich bin sehr dankbar dass ich so sanft landen durfte in meinem ersten Aufenthalt in Afrika. Danke Markus! Ich freue mich schon meine Reise bei dir abzuschließen.

Villa 3 chambres piscine privée
Edwin the site manager was the best person we met since arriving to Zanzibar. A true gentleman and extremely genuine which can be hard at times to find when traveling. He felt like a friend and was the best host we have had through Airbnb. Would book again!

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!

Villa Nyumbani
2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

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!

Sea Moon
Simone was een geweldige host! Reageerde super snel. Saïd haalde ons van het vliegveld en stond altijd paraat. Mtumwa poetse geweldig! Brandschoon. Bedden werden elke 4 dagen heerlijk verschoond. Bij uitval van electriciteit en water was er een generator. Fijn! Strand voor de deur niet echt schoon, maar klein stukje lopen en je hebt een fijn strand. In huis een info map met allerlei tips voor uitstapjes. Je kunt de hulpzame Saïd als chauffeur vragen, of iemand anders. Kinderen uit de buurt spelen voor de deur op het strand. Wij hebben er van genoten! Zet om 17.30 je stoel op het strand en kijk naar de visserbootjes die met hun vangst terugkomen. Het huis heeft een heerlijke veranda met eettafel en stoelen, waar je kunt ontbijten etc. Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf van 4 weken gehad en danken Simone voor de goeie communicatie! Tip: neem eea voor de kinderen mee. Ze zijn echt arm.

Private Villa with swimming pool
Mein Aufenthalt war einfach großartig! Die Unterkunft war makellos sauber und genauso schön wie auf den Fotos – man hat sich sofort wohlgefühlt. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich Emmanuel und Kamada, die Gastgeberin und unser Liebling Massai. Sie waren unglaublich freundlich, zuverlässig und immer erreichbar, wenn ich Fragen hatte. Ihre herzliche Art hat den Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht. Ich kann ihre Unterkunft jedem wärmstens empfehlen und würde jederzeit wiederkommen!

Paradies Garden Best spot at the beach! OutsideBed
Das Anwesen ist super schön. Durch den grossen Garten hat man seine Privatsphäre und ist trotzdem in der Nähe von Restaurants und Aktivitäten. Am besten war das Aussenbett ❤️ mit einem wahnsinns Blick über Strand und Ozean. Wir haben viel Zeit auch dem Balkon verbracht und einfach genossen. Rama und Tatu haben sich liebevoll um uns gekümmert und bei Fragen sofort reagiert 😊 Für alle die gerne etwas Ruhe haben möchten aber trotzdem mitten drin sein möchten absolut empfehlenswert

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 !!

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!

Nyumbani Residence | Two Bedrooms Apartment
Mohu ubytování jen doporučit, od komunikace po rezervaci, přes odvoz z letiště až po přivítání a ubytování na apartmán, se vším jsme byli spokojeni. Rodinný apartmán poskytuje dostatek prostoru a vynikající vybavení pro vaření. Postele jsou velmi pohodlné a terasa skvěle uzpůsobená k odpočinku v soukromí díky vzrostlým nádherně kvetoucím keřům. Dále parádní byla velkorysá snídaně v ceně a 2 bazény, z nichž minimálně jeden z nich jsme měli kdykoliv jen pro sebe. Areál je velmi dobře udržovaný, bazény čisté a okolí apartmánů opečovávané. Na pláž je to asi 5 minut chůze a stejně tak na začátek vesnice, kde člověk může nakoupit vše, co potřebuje a navíc i při procházce pozorovat místní život. Moc děkujeme majitelům a celému personálu za skvělý pobyt.

Ocean View Junior Suite Tatu ZanzibarHouses
Zanzibar house, fait parti d’un de mes meilleurs Airbnb. Le logement est très propre, cuisine équipée (avec cuisto sur place pour le déjeuner et le repas, c’est le rêve!) Quant à la vue, face à la mer dès le matin pour passer des vacances de rêve Une personne de référence est sur place, et joignable! Rien à dire, je conseil fortement

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.

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!

MOYO top floor apartment private swimming pool
Really lovely apartment with wonderful outside space and air conditioned en suite bedrooms. I loved being able to nip to the beach for my early morning swim and then come back to relax in the pool which, although it's small, was great for cooling off. We managed to have all 4 of us (2 adults plus 2 full sized teens) in at once. Sonia was really welcoming and very helpful, always responding quickly to queries both before and during our stay. She also gave us handy info about local restaurants who we could message and have deliver to the apartment which was perfect for us. Eating on the terrace every night was great. All in all a lovely week in a beautiful apartment with a great host. Thank you
