New room 11 with balcony,near “The Rock Zanzibar”
Beautiful Airbnb.. very warm and welcoming staff and the rooms are so clean and tasteful. Just a minute to the beach and The Rock restaurant which we went to and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty. We would highly recommend this great spot in Pingwe,

Welcome to 'Ilava Boma' flat near Paje beach!
Great communication with host, beautiful home close to a lot of restaurants, to the beach and friendly neighbourhood. House has a lovely view and was cosy me and the other girls defo recommend and enjoyed

Meliks beach apartment
We really enjoyed our stay. Big windows letting in loads of light and right on top of the beach with the extra added bonus of being able to use the hotel facilities attached to the property, as its part of the hotel complex. Alex, the liason was very helpful and friendly. There are only two things I would mention that I personally believe would improve this Air BnB and they are - 1 - A TV for those chill nights in. 2 - A Microwave. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay and I highly recommend it.

Mbao Beach Studio, SeaView Best position!
Wir hatten eine super Zeit bei Cosmina / Ovi. Die Unterkunft ist einfach, bietet aber alles was für die eigene Verpflegung notwenig ist und entspricht exakt der Beschreibung. Wir erhielten vorab wichtige Informationen zum Aufenthalt und wurden freundlich in Empfang genommen. Das Zimmer wurde sogar alle 4 Tage gereinigt, was für ein Air bnb absolut nicht selbstverständlich ist. Am schönsten fanden wir die Lage mit dem Balkon direkt aufs Meer gerichtet. Von dort aus konnten wir sogar bei lokalen Fischern frische Meerfrüchte bestellen. Uns wurde gezeigt wie man die Meeresfrüchte auseinander nimmt und zubereitet, eine einzigartige Erfahrung. Auch der Kitesurfspot war nur wenige Meter entfernt und die sympathische Bar Kimte die wir jeden Tag fürs Après - Kite - Bier aufsuchten, ebenfalls.

Giraffe Beach Studio SeaView+Free WiFi
Ubytováni byli opravdu jako na fotkách. Pár kroků na pláž. V Jambiani musíte počítat s velkým odlivem, takže koupání lze spíše až odpoledne, ale to jsme věděli. Majitel nám poslal tipy kde se najít a jak se podívat. Procestovali jsme celý ostrov a určitě bychom se vrátili jelikož místo nebylo až tolik turistické jako na severu, což nám vyhovovalo. Pokud bychom se vrátili, raději bychom zaplatili za bungalov blíže k moři a dál od příjezdové cesty. Jelikož Bungalov nemá okna tak bohužel cítíte jako by Vám za hlavou jezdili auta a motorky atd.. dvě noci byli opravdu utrpení, kdy se dalo spát až po 4 ráno. Ale tohle je věc kterou bohužel nelze ovlivnit. A ubytování se nám opravdu líbilo. Jen počítat s tím, že není vhodné pro někoho kdo má rad klid na spaní.

Family’s favorite! Spacious flat with pool & beach
By far the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Comfortable, cosy, super clean, and very nicely decorated. We felt right at home and the host made the check in super easy! Beautiful compound with lagoon pool and many facilities, a short walk from Paje beach. A couple of supermarkets and restaurants just outside the compound on the main street of Paje. I’m definitely coming back !

New Dhow studio on the beach
Merci à Ovi pour sa gentillesse, sa réactivité et ses excellents conseils. Le logement était tout à fait conforme aux photos, la vue est incroyable depuis la terrasse et c’est très très calme. Je reviendrais sans hésiter, merci pour ce magnifique voyage

Tropical Ocean Beach Studio 4 FreeWiFi
Unser Gastgeber und Zewdra waren sehr nett und waren bei allen Fragen und alles was wir brauchten für uns da. Haben uns wohl gefühlt, sehr sauber und die Nachbarschaft sehr nett und eine ruhige Gegend. Danke nochmal bis nächstes Jahr

Popo House, an eco beach house, quiet, private
Ik verbleef er met twee vriendinnen. De ontvangst was heel goed geregeld, Jo is een geweldige gastvrouw, die altijd voor ons klaar stond. Ook heel fijn dat er al van alles aanwezig was zoals kruiden, olie etc. Maar het aller allermooiste was toch echt de locatie. Niet normaal mooi, loved it!! Huisje was ook heel knus en gezellig en schoon! Ik raad het iedereen aan

Maracuja villa Zanzibar
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.

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!

Villa Juliana 1-Jambiani beach
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

Nakupenda House
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.

Fisherman's Cottage Zanzibar
Amazing place to relax. Beautiful, clean beach. House offers everything you need. In high tide the waves come up to the steps of the house. Love it! Plus the house is run by a property manager who is very willing to help with anything you may need. Highly recommend. Better than any of the hotels to the left or right... No one else offers a front door that opens directly to the beach. I came in rainy season which just means you have a few hours a day where you can enjoy the view from your veranda or go for a massage next door or to a restaurant only steps away. On the other hand you have the beach to yourself. So rainy season is perfectly fine in this house! This place is definitely worth the price. I have been to many of the "top beaches" worldwide, but this was the best beach/relaxing beach vacation so far!

Ocean View Villa
Magnifique villa dans un très bel environnement, le tout très bien entretenu. Ania et Ali sont très disponibles pour toutes les demandes et les renseignements. La réalité est encore plus belle que les photos de l’annonce. Je recommande vivement ce logement.

Villa Makuti: Private Chef and Boat Trip Options
For 2 days we felt like in a dream :)) The huge and very well kept garden around Villa Makuti is amazing. We loved the many different spots to sit or lay down and enjoy the beautiful views... To order a private cook was very comfortable and Omar was a very nice and good driver. Thanx for this wonderful experience!!!

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.

Uroa Escape | Zanzibar Beachfront | Wi-Fi |King BD
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures. It’s right next to the beach, making it easy to go for long walks along the shore. There are also many local restaurants nearby. I want to thank Grace ❤️ and the security gentleman for their help and kindness—they truly made my stay special!
