Malindi Guest house ll
I had a smooth time in Zanzibar. This was my first time ever booking on Airbnb and I indeed loved the stay. Ginie, who was the host around was very friendly and assisted a lot during my stay. It is a walking distance from the Ferry and safe to walk balk home from the main road even after a night out. Loved every detail of it and look forward to staying there again after Ramadhan when I visit Zanzibar.

Deluxe Triple Sea View With Balcony
My stay here was great. It's a walking distance to the Kuza caves. It's on the beach and the pool is heated, so you can swim at night. Loved the sea view from the room. The breakfast is awesome too, with a variety. Overall it's a very good place I'd highly recommend.

Nyota double room with ensuite bathroom
Fleur was a lovely host! She and her team are very welcoming and warm! She gave us tips to discover Zanzibar. We went with a bike to the villages near Jambiani and discovered a secret place! Wow! The rooms are very big, clean and cosy, just like the rest. We enjoyed the pool very much. The restaurant just opened, with delicious food. We tried different foods in Jambiani, but the food at Zanzistar was the best. Very tasty! Thank you for feeling at home! Keep up the good work! Greetings Bart and Julia

Maisha Nungwi - Double Room
Location: It’s at the other end of the “famous” Nungwi walk, having said that it’s also perfectly close to the beach and less crowded. The hotel itself is beautiful well equipped beautiful pool and THE BATHROOM is gorgeous. The breakfast is fantastic and sooo delicious and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Thank you for hosting us.

Aya Beach Secluded Holiday
Had a great stay. The rooms are really clean and cool. Great food in the restaurant and really nice staff. The tour operator Toby organized a fantastic dolphin watching and snorkeling trips!

Fully equipped apartment - Breeze Residence
Newly built complex, central, very close to the beach, equipped and clean. The Brezeer staff is always attentive, kind, helpful and very professional. A plus; their free bike service. Highly recommended for any kind of person. General note 10 out of 10. It's been a pleasure. So far Nico. ;)

Hotels with a pool

Suite with Terrace - Gaia Villas
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time at Gaia for our honeymoon. We were welcomed by her incredible staff and they even set up beautiful swan towels and roses on the bed for us. The villa was beautiful and very private. And I can’t stress enough how amazing all of the staff were. Breakfast was delicious as well and the host was so responsive to us with recommendations. We stayed at a much larger (and more expensive) resort in Zanzibar before this and we thought Gaia was so much more enjoyable. Very close to the beach as well. Highly recommend!

Amazing B&B, great pool, Room
Small and pleasant space with smiling staff who are helpful.

Casa Mysa: Private Villa & Pool
A dream of a house! Meg was always available and described everything exactly. The pool is an absolute dream and the house is very good taste. There was nothing missing and the staff helped with everything. I'd love to come back.

2 Bedroom Luxury Villa - Pool, Gym, & Wi-Fi,
I loved my stay at the facility. The place looks like you see in the photos. They have a huge and wonderful pool which was actually warm at night and it's next to the beach. The rooms were spotless and spacious. Highly recommended!

nungwi beach 50 meters
A perfect stay in Nungwi! I had a wonderful stay at this place, it was the perfect little retreat just 3 minutes from the beach. The room was spotless, quiet, and came with a private bathroom and air conditioning, which made it really comfortable even during the hotter days. One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast: generous, tasty, and well-balanced, the perfect way to start the day before exploring Nungwi. The host was very responsive and helpful, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness and attention to detail really made me feel welcome. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful, well-located, and warmly hosted stay in Zanzibar!

Peanut & Butter Boutiquehotel luxury room and pool
outstanding, we had the unit with a private pool. totally as described. large bedroom. the food was the star here, unique flavours, generous portions, and vast choice, all cooked to order and fresh, The best meals we had on Zanzibar served on the roof terrace. we had a hire care but can be done by taxi etc. Kendwa is a great resort, ten minute walk from downhill from peanut to the beach front, taxi back about £3. Made was a perfect host and a very talented lady, art studio on site..

Bungalow Papaya @ Karanga Bungalows
need to pay extra tax

Bo-he-mian Shoreline Villa
Very nice place: clean, well located, with nice (although a little lost) service, it also offers a variety of experiences at reasonable prices. Everything is as described. A little hard to communicate with Mo on an ongoing basis, the villa on AirBNB is also under a different name than the resort, so no one in the area knows how to get there, but as we managed, it was great - so far this is the best place in Zanzibar we've been to. We recommend!

Holiday paradise
The small coworking village with the large property, just a 2-minute walk to the Indian Ocean, has won our hearts. Every day a fresh coconut, fresh fruit and the relaxed atmosphere made the stay of our whole group a wonderful experience. The rooms and the whole complex are completely newly built and very tastefully furnished, just as described. Perfect for self-catering, or breakfast can also be booked. We will be happy to come back.
