Jack's Rooftop Studio, an old-world hidden gem.

CaroleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had a verry nice stay at Arsheen's. The location is perfect in the hearth of Stone Town. She was verry helpful and so was Mushtaq.

Unique 1 bedroom apartment

YasminRating, 5 stars10 months ago
A gorgeous gem of a place located a minute walk to the beach, yet tucked away from the hustle & bustle. This place really offered a sense of serenity nestled away… The apartment was spacious with an open plan kitchen, dining area, and veranda where you can sometimes see the kites flying, and was a great place to chill with friends. The dogs are adorable and made the place feel like home. With so many activities in Paje this place was a miracle find to be so central to all the tours and sports on the island 🏝️. Thank you 🙏

Noor House: Modern & Bright Apt @ The Soul, Paje

GraceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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

Florian & AnneRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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!

2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

Idyllic Beach House

ArianeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Sea Moon

HubertinaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Simone was a lovely host! Responded super quickly. Saïd picked us up from the airport and was always ready. Mtumwa poetse wonderful! Sparkling clean. Beds were wonderfully changed every 4 days. If electricity and water failures, there was a generator. Nice! Beach in front of the door not really clean, but a short walk and you have a nice beach. In the house an info folder with all kinds of tips for trips. You can ask the helpful Saïd as a driver, or someone else. Children from the neighborhood play in front of the door on the beach. We enjoyed it! Put your chair on the beach at 5.30 pm and look at the fishing boats that come back with their catch. The house has a lovely veranda with dining table and chairs, where you can have breakfast etc. We had a lovely stay of 4 weeks and thank Simone for the good communication! Tip: bring aea for the children. They are really poor.

Private Villa with swimming pool

SalimRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My stay was simply great! The place was spotlessly clean and just as beautiful as in the photos – you immediately felt comfortable. I want to highlight Emmanuel and Kamada, the host and our favorite Massai. They were incredibly friendly, reliable and always available if I had any questions. Her warm nature made the stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend their place to anyone and would come back anytime!

Nyumbani Residence | Two Bedrooms Apartment

VeronikaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
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

DorellRating, 5 stars8 months ago
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.

MOYO top floor apartment private swimming pool

SukyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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
