Standard Luxury Room
Great as always! I've been staying at Glen Marion regularly over the last few years and have always had a great stay. I have been safe, accommodation is always immaculate and comfortable. I will keep staying there in future.

Great accommodation in a great location at a great price

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.

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.

Family House 7 pers
Zanzistar is a very beautifully styled small guesthouse - very colourful and tropical in the day, and candlelit and very atmospheric in the evening. The rooms in the family house are similarly gorgeously designed and are spacious and very clean - Zanzistar is such an aesthetically pleasing place to stay! Fleur and her team are very personable and hugely helpful in every matter, and the food and drinks are some of the best we had in Zanzibar. Jambiani itself is an incredibly idyllic beach and much quieter than other parts of Zanzibar - in short a wonderful place to stay if you wish to be further off the tourist trail!

Amani Palace, double with private garden+pool
Highly recommend this place. Rooms are very nice and clean. Breakfast is good and the staff is the best especially Sophia makes everything for the guests. And I love to have a pool.

Spacious Ocean View Suite - Villa Fleur de Lys
Fleur De Lis Villa was wonderful. The hotel was beautiful, the staff was friendly, and the food was great. The only downside is there is no beach to swim at - you need to travel about 15 minutes away to get to one. That said, there are two lovely small pools and the grounds are small but very nice. The room was exactly what we needed and they went out of their way to make sure our two year old was comfortable as well. I would recommend anyone stay here who wants an out of the way spot to spend a relaxing few days.

Ranzi Court
Naomi’s home felt exactly like home away from home. The whole family is warm and welcoming. We loved the little touches in the room, as well as the unexpected breakfast they cooked for us. Just perfect!

Marvelous Family. 2 Bungalows w/ Pool & Playground
We don't have words, even though it looks like a phrase made, it's like that. Staying with Nathalie and Alvin was a gift. The place is beautiful, you eat great, our little girl loved her room and the cats, we every detail. It was sad to come away, but these days in Jambiani they left us with the necessary energy to face the work that awaits us. Thank you for everything!!!

Wings & Water Guest Villas
Wings & Water was just incredible and highly recommend others to stay here! The staff are amaizing, the food is amaizing and the people make you feel so at home. Dankie Johann - dit was onvergeetlik!!

Zanzicrown hotel, Bahari room
The room we had was quite warm as the ventilation was not good. When we inquired from the staff if a better ventilated room might be available they told us we needed to contact Elena. They could make no changes without her approval. I knew Elena was out of the country due to a family situation. I messaged her but did not expect a response and accepted the situation without complaint. We did not ask for air conditioning, simply inquired if a different room might be available. So keep this in mind that you may find the temperature uncomfortable.

Boho Villa Nama-for family&friends in Jambiani
Wow it’s hard to put into words how tranquil and amazing this place truly is, from the very first I moment I felt an overwhelming radiance of peace flowing through my body, from the staff to the beautiful scenery everything was amazing and I highly recommend, Asante for the amazing experience and if you are reading this review this is your sign to go ahead and book as I believe all can enjoy.

Family room at our boutique hotel
100% the best find in Addis for location, price, comfort and hospitality. If you get a chance to book here do it. Also the free breakfast was great and the communication honest and quick. Wonderful!

Boutique Gamboozini Lodge Single room
Very lovely place! Mikau take very good care of you and made my stay wonderful.

Single room near Nairobi city centre
Great place, very clean, staff and breakfast were all amazing. Would stay here again.

Star room
Baby bush lodge is a quiet and pristine lodge, the perfect get away yet with a great beach view. Their staff are amazing and friendly. They made the stay enjoyable. I spent most of the time watching the waves on the sandy beaches with blue waters just from the lodge. Enjoyed myself.

Glacier View Lodge/Hubhill
Hubert is just fantastic. I came to Moshi to climb Kilimanjaro, and he immediately connected me with an organizer who made the trip happen the very next day and at a very reasonable price. The rooms are basic but contain everything you need, with an on-site bar and restaurant. If you need to arrange anything, like transport or picking up supplies, Hubert is very quick and helpful. The hotel is located very close to the town centre, making it easy to find and get around.

A self-sufficient room in a charming 6 bedroom INN
I enjoyed staying at Nathan's, a cool laid back place with a restaurant on site. I enjoyed the live band on Friday night.
