EbenezerRating, 5 stars13 months ago
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.

AminaRating, 5 stars15 months ago
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.

Hotel room in Jambiani
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsFamily House 7 pers
OliviaRating, 5 stars94 months ago
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!

Hotel room in Makunduchi
4.64 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsSpacious Ocean View Suite - Villa Fleur de Lys
JordanRating, 5 stars40 months ago
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.

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!

Hotel room in Jambiani

ClaudiaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Non abbiamo parole, anche se sembra una frase fatta è così. Stare da Nathalie e Alvin è stato un regalo. Il posto è stupendo, si mangia benissimo, la nostra bambina ha amato la sua stanza e i gatti, noi ogni dettaglio. È stato triste venire via ma questi giorni passati a Jambiani ci hanno lasciato addosso le energie necessarie per affrontare il lavoro che ci attende. Grazie di tutto!!!

GaylaRating, 5 stars29 months ago
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.

Great stay in a convenient part of JHB.. far enough out of town to be quiet, but close enough to get into town at your convenience. Clean, super comfortable and easy stay.. well worth it!

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.

Hotel room in Moshi Urban
4.47 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsGlacier View Lodge/Hubhill
ChristinaRating, 5 stars40 months ago
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.

GiovannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Abbiamo alloggiato al Richy hotel per 5 notti, ci siamo trovati molto bene. L'alloggio é semplice e di poche pretese ma c'é tutto quello che serve, camera pulita, acqua calda, cibo buono. Richard é stato molto disponibile, abbiamo potuto contare su di lui per organizzare i nostri spostamenti last minute. Ringraziamo anche Rachel per la sua simpatia e grande disponibilità.
