Jack's Rooftop Studio, an old-world hidden gem.
Had the best time in Stone Town at Jack's rooftop studio! Amazing location, beautiful terrace, clean, private, and Arsheen and Mushtaq were kind and communicative throughout our stay. Can't wait to come back!

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!

Stylish Stone Town Pad With Private Entrance & AC
It was a lovely, spacious and decorative flat. My friends and I had all the facilities we needed including a washing machine and ac. There were nice restaurants and cafes walking distance. We would definitely recommend this bnb to others.

Noor House: Modern & Bright Apt @ The Soul, Paje
Noor’s house was the best Airbnb we stayed at during our Zanzibar trip. The interior is modern, well-kept, and cosy — perfect for two, with a spare room we used for drying laundry. I loved relaxing in the living room, looking out into the peaceful garden. Though the host wasn’t around, she was very responsive and had everything planned perfectly, from check-in to our transfer. The house is well-located, just a 10-minute walk to the beach and close to great restaurants and cafes. the host was also very responsible — she let us know in advance that the compound’s lagoon would be closed and even gave us the option to cancel. While it was a pity we couldn’t enjoy the lagoon, the thoughtful communication was much appreciated. I’ll definitely recommend this gem to friends and anyone looking for a cosy, quiet, peaceful, and calm retreat in Paje.

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!

3-bedroom villa with private pool
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!

Family Beach House - right on the beach
Ernst is a very good gatsgeber . He responds immediately and always helps. Everything is very well organized. He has arranged the help on site very well. There is always a contact person there. Maybe think about an emergency power unit......The house is located directly on the beach , just a few steps to the sea. Absolutely quiet location. Thank you very much for the nice time there.

Ground Floor Villa with Chef & Private Pool
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.

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
We had an amazing time at Liza’s villa! It’s a very beautiful house, especially the pool area and the rooftop. Liza provided a lot of information about the house and the area beforehand, which was appreciated.

Oceanfront Villa in Zanzibar
Maia, was super helpful and friendly!! Me and my girlfriend are originally from Chicago, we decided to celebrate her in Nungwi Zanzibar and we found Maia’s beautiful home located right in front of the beach/Indian ocean. Maia helped us to get a cake, flowers and champagne, something that I wouldn’t have been able to arrange without Maia’s help. Im extremely grateful for Maia, helping us to create memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to booking her beautiful home again in the near future!!

Raha Love Gorgeous 1B Garden apartment FumbaTown
We had a lovely stay. Check in and out were seamless, and the area was peaceful. It was the perfect distance from Stonetown, and it had all the amenities we needed. We had a few questions regarding the apartment and appliances. The team was very responsive and resolved the inquiries we had in a timely fashion. Thank you for everything!

Welcome to kitauni apartment
Abdullah is a great and very responsive host who was always available when I had a question. The apartment is in a good location in stone town but not too close to all the busy areas. It is just a bedroom and bathroom, but if you are in Zanzibar to go out all day and experience the island, and eat at delicious local restaurants you don’t need a kitchen or anything more really. Good water heater and AC also. The only thing I would say it could benefit from is maybe a small table of some kind. Overall it was exactly what I was looking for!

Two Private room apartment in Stonetown Beach 7pax
Mamdali is a great host of helpful , always trying to provide the information and any help possible. it was a great time for me in Zanzibar 🙏♥️

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.

Baobab V1 Villa Apartment(140m2)
We had a lovely time in Jambiani and Barbara was an amazing host. She helped us with everything right away, highly recommended!!

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.

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
