Cozy Living Space By The Beach
My family and I really loved the place. It was clean with great views and the host was very responsive to our requests đź‘Ź

Baobab V2 Villa apartment(140m2)
After 2 weeks of volunteering, this accommodation was great to come down and relax. The location was really great and Barbara was always on hand to help with recommendations, a bajaji etc. needed. It was a great end to our time in Zanzibar. Highly recommended!

Lovely 1 bedroom Condo 400m from Paje beach
The complex is a small paradise and is well maintained daily. The pool area is also beautifully designed and invites you to relax & swim. The apartment is nicely cut and completely sufficient for 2 guests, terrace and garden are also very nice and well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped overall, as is the bathroom, but there is no storage space in the shower itself. 2 tips on the edge: 1. There are no tabs/powder/salt for the dishwasher. If you don't want to wash yourself, it's best to bring tabs, as the existing powder is designed for washing machines and the dishes are not properly cleaned. 2. We recommend coffee drinkers to bring an express kettle or a French press, as there is no machine on site;-). We would definitely return as we felt very comfortable here and the landlords are very caring and friendly. Overall, the apartment is beautifully rented and reasonably priced.

Chic & comfy getaway
It was a wonderful stay in Zanzibar. The house was big, comfortable, and clean. It is located on the main road of Paje, so everything is very close, especially the beach. Hiba was amazing—very helpful, and we truly loved her. The house has all the amenities one might need. We specifically stayed for over 20 days and never regretted it for a moment. I highly recommend it. When we visit the island again, we will definitely stay here.

Studio at The Adventure + Breakfast
Thanks Sissy, Zulfa and Willy. We had a great stay at the Adventure Villa. The front line location is incredible combined with beautiful well kept gardens and a caring team. We ate dinner a couple of times at the house, and was a fabulous experience to dine, relax and enjoy the sunset in the peace and quiet. Highly recommend using Mahad’s driving services. A warm soul who offered an excellent, well priced driving service. Thanks again Sissy and the team!

Cosy flat close to the airport.
Great location with restaurants and markets nearby. Walking distance to airport. I felt very welcomed, had a good privacy I wanted and all I asked was delivered. Thank you

Markus is a great host. This apartment is something you must visit while stay in Zanzibar, the gallery and the pool area is mesmerizing. I do recommend 5*

Entire apartment with secret garden and balcony
Stefy waited for me at 4am and sent Rama to fetch me at the airport. She is very lovely and has great great taste for furniture and deco. her space is big and has a lot of character. it's like a travel in time. I loved spending time reading on the porshe at night. the only small down and the internet. A proper router would make the space perfect to work (I has lots of calls). But that's just my special needs.

SUNzibar Home - Papai
We liked the house as it corresponded to what we expected and spacious. The location is also good for both the sea, which is a 10-minute walk away and for the various shops in the area. Sale was always very available on any type of suggestion and/or request. We had a pleasant stay in the house.

Starfish apartment
Peter is an amazing host! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, we knew we made the right choice. The location couldn't have been better – right in the heart of everything we wanted to explore. Everything was just a short walk away, and we were able to easily access local attractions, restaurants, and shops. The accommodation itself was perfect—immaculately clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a top-notch experience!

Seaside Serenity: Pool, Beach & Breakfast
I had a pleasant time staying at Judith's place, located in Fumba Town. It was neat and the environment was Serene. Fumba Town, some 20mins drive away from Stone Town, is the place to be if you love a peaceful, calm neighborhood with a swimming pool and a sea-facing bar. The balcony view is breathtaking. Generally, it's good value for money. Did I forget to mention that Judith communicates well?

Apartment at only a few steps from the beach.
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.

Swahili Serenity close to Mall
One of the most attentive hosts i have ever experienced on Airbnb. Abdul not only ensured someone was available to greet me on arrival, he actually guided my taxi driver to the location over the phone. It felt like he was contactable 24/7 and provided everything that i asked for, even onward travel to Paje which was súper nice. The appartment is exactly as photographed, with great Wifi and excellent AC in the bedroom. Within walking distance to the main touristy área of Stone Town, the appartment has you living next door to the islands locals which makes it incredibly authentic. It can be a busy área during the day but the appartment is very quiet, with full time security too. I felt very safe. As my first time in Zanzibar i felt very welcomed. Thank you.
