Popo House, an eco beach house, quiet, private
I stayed there with two friends. The reception was very well arranged, Jo is a great hostess, who was always there for us. Also very nice that there was already everything present such as herbs, oil, etc. But the most beautiful thing was really the location. Not normally beautiful, loved it!! Cottage was also very cozy and clean! I would recommend to anyone

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!

Private Beach Villa Ocean view pool 4 Rooms 12 PAX
All hotel staff always very helpful, friendly, and professional. They were able to solve all our wishes and requirements quickly and willingly. Even cooking delicious meals. The accommodation has a great location, and a wonderful view of the ocean.

The Zanzibar Beach House-South
As our first time traveling abroad, we felt right at home at The Zanzibar Beach House (which made saying goodbye so hard.) We were blown away with the views, the amazing self-catering unit to cook our own foods (to stay within our budget) and the help we received from the hosts were great! We will miss this piece of paradise 🏝 and we only wish for everyone else planning their trip to Zanzibar to take our advise and book the stay at the unique Zanzibar Beach House! We hope to be back soon! 🇹🇿

Love you 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.

Villa Mina Boma Nr2 private Suits seafront/Terrace
We rented a two floor apartment at Villa Mina for a month. It was spacious and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from both balconies were spectacular. There were loungers and beds to use which gave a little extra privacy from the beach sellers. Lots of choice of nearby restaurants. Breakfasts were excellent with coffee and freshly made fruit juice, fruit, eggs to order and a variety of pastries and breads. There is a swimming pool that can be used about a 5-minute walk away, which my girls enjoyed. Mina and everyone there are very friendly and will help with anything you ask. They made us very welcome. It felt like a home-from-home, only with a spectacular beach in front. We would love to return and hopefully will!

Beautiful Villa at 2 minutes from the Beach
The house is big, well built and located in a very peaceful, quiet place, not far away from the ocean. The house was good enough equipped and with the 24/7 watchmen who also took care of the swimming pool being cleaned. Raphael was in touched and resolved a couple of issues we got while staying there. All together gives me a strong reason to recommend this house for a stay of either single traveller or a family of 4 members maximum.

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!

Bora Pamoja Studio's - Poolview & Solar Backup
I had the most amazing time at Bora Pamoja Studios in Jambiani! The place looks exactly as the photos!

PAJE, ROOM WITH A/CIN PRIVATE VILLA WITH POOL
Perfectly located in the center of Pajet, with a very nice pool and comfortable and clean room. Best value for money 5/6 housing made on the island, I recommend it!

Villa Zuhura in Zanzibar
Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

Paje Beach Apartments -1 Bedroom Seaview Apartment
OUTSTANDING. We have been living in Tanzania for 3 months in Dar Es Salaam before coming to Paje Beach Apartments, so we are already acclimated to the country. This place far exceeded our expectations on every level. Lynette at the front desk and the entire staff made this place the most amazing place to stay ever. Seriously. Tanzania can be hit and miss when it comes to AirBnB accommodations, but this place stands out in every single category, especially cleanliness and overall value. I would , however, encourage you to walk the beach to look for food options after eating at Abel's place because the food gets even better as you begin to explore the beachfront. This is one of the few places in Tanzania where I would say the pictures don't even do it justice. It's more beautiful in person. They have only like 6 apartments and then a few single rooms, so the entire place is not that big and you get very personal treatment, at least we did. And the STAFF are AMAZING. So super responsive. Very warm and friendly. Our 5 year old made so many friends with the staff here and they are very professional. Can't say enough good things about it. We will be back.

Promised Land Lodge: Double bed
Such a beautiful place, in a great location in Kizimkazi to depart for snorkling and daulphin trips. The guide we went with Alba, booked with the hotel, is very nice and a great captain. Furthermore, the hotel is offering very good meal and a wide range of activities inside the hotel. I definitely recomend!

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

the coco paradise - maua cozy beach apartment
This AirBnB is located within Villa de Coco in Jambiani. It was the perfect place for my family and I and we are already looking at dates for when we can return. We couldn't have asked for a better experience on Zanzibar!

Macheko
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.

Mkoko Villa
Exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. Great communication and flexibility from the host when our plans changed slightly due to travel disruptions.

Bahari View
Amazing beachfront apartment with beautiful views, AC and wifi! Andre and Jordana’s home is right on the beach so we enjoyed sunrise walks and the sounds of the ocean waves at night. The apartment is really comfortable and has hot water for the shower! We felt at home and taken care of during the week that we spent here. Will definitely stay here again in the future!

Villa Nali in Jambiani
Good location & close to the beach area plus great areas around n also u can visit lost soles great place for a chill out

Brand new flat 40 m from beach
A perfect place to stay in Jambiani, right next to the beach and has everything you need! Thank you to the host for helping out with any questions during our stay!

Wamasaa Garden
Very pleasant stay, comfortable house, large rooms with fan and air conditioning for one of them, great sheltered terrace and beautiful garden Reassuring presence of the caretaker for 2 single women, communication not always easy but possible to go through the host who is very responsive Surprises by the first random power outage in the neighborhood, but then we get used to it and it's part of the local life and we adapt Real proximity to the beach and restaurant bars in the village Beautiful beaches and lagoon, friendly little village with a welcoming population Taxis available for excursions and groceries as needed We are delighted with our stay at Waziri's and ready to come back as soon as we can!

Little Cottage Jambiani Philip (by Red Monkey)
I had the most wonderful stay at Kidogo Cottage! It’s a chic, comfortable space, that makes you feel right at home. The gorgeous, vibrant, colorful village was surprisingly peaceful as well, with lots to see and experience. Said and his wife are literal angels! Definitely get Farida to cook you some delicious fish that Said has caught fresh! I will cherish these memories, the people, the place, for the rest of my days! Highly recommend!
