Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Bwejuu

We stayed for 5 weeks (!) at Culture & Alessandra's place and we absolutely LOVED it. Although we booked another apartment, we were really happy with the one we got. The location is phenomenal, as it is literally less than 2 minutes walking to the beach. Yet it feels very private because the house is on a dead-end street. The apartment is simple, but fully equipped. We felt right at home. Alessandra is truly the very best and sweetest host you could wish for. She helped us a lot with renting a motorcycle, making restaurant reservations and even took us to the hospital when (unfortunately) needed. Their dog Bantu often walked with us to the beach or came to lay with us on the porch, so cozy! We did have some problems with the AC - we couldn't get the room cooler than 26 degrees and it often failed because of power cuts (a general electricity problem in Zanzibar). Funny enough, 5 weeks still felt too short, so we hope to come back and then we will definitely stay here again.

Vuai’s place was very very nice, almost in front of the beach, in a safe, chill, and nice neighborhood, with a local minimarket nearby, and only 10 mins from Kuza Cave and 15 mins from Paje. The kitchen had everything one could need and the bathroom was very clean and nice.

it was sooooo awesome 🤩 thanks for everything, lisa and yakup!! i hope we see each other next year, asante sana

very well equipped and comfortable apartment and above all very well located a few steps from Paje beach and its center too. the host was adorable and very friendly. he knows absolutely everything on Paje what to do and what to avoid. I was very well assisted and I will defenitly book his place next time i go to Paje again.

Wow! My wife and I had booked an Airbnb months ago and last minute the host canceled. We began to panic since our trip was only weeks away and we have 3 kids (5, 7, and 10). We contacted Jan who answered so many of our questions. Once we arrived the place was minutes walking to the beach! Also, the area was very safe and quiet. There were many children and locals who greeted us every morning. Our first night we stayed on the beach and a local dug us a bonfire in the sand and helped us home when we got lost. We shared the property with his family and another guest who were all lovely and played bachata at night! Every morning the house help Ms K made us fresh juice, cleaned our room, and made us breakfast. She was wonderful! The driver that Jan sent to pick us at the airport was amazing! And we paid him to take us to Memba island and a really nice sandbank with seafood lunch. The only con was the 3rd bed did not have a mosquito net. Which was okay because my kids just shared a bed.

We had an amazing stay at Sailorvilla! Our group of four friends was the first to stay in the newly designed rooms with a fully equipped kitchen, and we were truly impressed. The space is modern, well-designed, and has everything you need. Both rooms had ceiling fans and A/C, and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary cookware and utensils. If anything was missing, Saed would have made sure we got it right away. Saed was an exceptional host—one of the kindest and most welcoming people I’ve met. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home, always ensuring we had everything we needed. Having worked in hospitality, I truly appreciate great service, and Saed’s warmth and generosity made this stay special. Having lived on the island for two years, I can confidently say Sailorvilla is one of the best stays I’ve had. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

The place is tricky to find at first (if you are driving yourself) but the instructions are clear. On how to get there. The Host is friendly very easy to check in. You are surrounded by locals and they are friendly. The beach is few steps away from your door 🥹 I enjoyed my stay. Thank You!!!!

Our host and Zewdra were very nice and were there for all the questions and everything we needed for us. We felt comfortable, very clean and the neighborhood very nice and a quiet area. Thanks again see you next year

Perfect spot for a group! The villa is beautiful, clean, and has great common areas to relax together. The host was super responsive and friendly, and the staff provided top-notch service. We especially loved the delicious included breakfast. Clean rooms, clean pool — everything was just right. Highly recommend!

Jerome was a great host, very responsive and proactive he accommodated all our needs. The house is magical, located in a local villa, is very private and one minute walking from a beautiful beach and some hotels where you can spend the day or have a nice meal. Also ver spacious the house can accommodated numerous people comfortable. We loved the pool where you can hang out listening to the birds. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful home in the heart of nature. Recently built Manuela's house is very comfortable and its garden with pool very nice! Manuela and her team are very attentive so that everything is pleasant during the stay. Note that the house is a 12-minute walk from the sea. A beautiful walk on a small path lined with palm trees.

Nakudenda House is a nice, spacious house in the heart of Jambiani village. The beach is just a stone's throw away. Lots of nice restaurants around. The house offers comfortable, large bedrooms. It's nicely decorated and has all you need to enjoy wonderful Jambiani. Eta and Romain are very nice hosts, very proactive and try to solve any problems as quickly as possible. Communicating with them was very easy and they go out of their way to make your stay a nice one.

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 !!

The house is very spacious, located in the middle of the village, not far to the beautiful beach. Kitchen equipped with basic stuff (frigde is a plus:)). Wifi could be better (not always available, poor signal). Workers always ready to help

The villa has a modern design and the rooms are equipped with all the modern tools and appliances. You will not feel that you are missing anything. Doreen is a professional and always ready to help. The view and the view are stunning, the atmosphere is calm, and every corner of the villa has a piece of art worth contemplating. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

great stay. very friendly host

I highly recommend staying here. My stay was wonderful in terms of the accommodation, the area, and the people in charge of the apartment. They were very friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend it. Finally, thank you, my brother Kassim, for everything and your help to us.

Garder’s Place offers a serene and tranquil environment, perfect for a peaceful stay. The privacy it provides allows guests to fully relax and enjoy their surroundings. Additionally, it is both affordable and cost-effective. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet and pleasant retreat.

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 🙏♥️

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.

wow!!! what a beautiful apartment. Dennis's place was absolutely amazing. We were there for our wedding anniversary for 2 weeks and Dennis met me and gave us a gift of a bottle of champagne. Anytime I had a question Dennis was extremely responsive in helping make this a very peaceful and lovely vacation. my husband and I had an amazing time and I will highly recommend Dennis place. It was very clean, looked like the pictures, and the art work and decorations were gorgeous. the only downside was that the apartment is on the 4th floor so...get ready for some exercise. Thanks for everything Dennis!

I am very thankful for the time I could spend at the embassy appartment. It was a very nice environment, the land lady was very helpful in everything and I am just looking forward to my next stay with the embassy appartment. The location is also nice and developping around, you can have nice local food next to you. The appartment was nice, it had also solar, what made it easy to work remote & the wireless was also enough strong. All in All very very happy and a little bit sad to leave. See you next time! Best, Cem

Felt at home and more! Great property, good communication, spotless and very clean and most of all a great host! Thank you Valentin and Denisa! We’ll be back very soon.

I liked the place and will either go back there again and even recommend to friends.
