Places to stay in Paje

Our family had a wonderful 3-night stay at this lovely property! We truly appreciated the thoughtful amenities provided. The large Bluetooth speaker was perfect for keeping us entertained throughout our visit. We were also impressed with the showers—the water pressure was fantastic, making our showers very refreshing. The rooms were spotless with clean sheets and excellent air conditioning, ensuring we slept comfortably every night. The highlight for our kids was definitely the rooftop pool, which was the perfect spot to relax during the hot afternoons. A special thank you to our host, Amina, who was incredibly responsive, friendly, and always ready to help. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

The place looks better than the picture and the manager of the property was super nice…they were always there when we called and ver accommodative..I’ll definitely be back again.

It was a wonderful stay in Zanzibar. The house was big, comfortable, and clean. It is located on the main road of Paje, so everything is very close, especially the beach. Hiba was amazing—very helpful, and we truly loved her. The house has all the amenities one might need. We specifically stayed for over 20 days and never regretted it for a moment. I highly recommend it. When we visit the island again, we will definitely stay here.

The Shivo Paje Villas team were amazing hosts and super friendly! Whether we needed a taxi booked or fresh towels, the team were always on hand to help us. One of the best AirBnBs my friends and I have ever stayed at and this was down to the quality of the service provided. We had the privacy of a private villa and the comforts of staying at a hotel (ie. Housekeeping each morning). The location is beautiful, minutes walk from the beach and close to many lovely restaurants. One big bonus was that the villa was within a gated compound with a security guard at the front. Each time a taxi collected us, the registration number of the vehicle was taken along with the drivers name which made us feel super safe. The security guard also escorted a food delivery driver to our door which we really appreciated as a group of women! The people of Zanzibar are some of the most amazing we’ve ever met, truly welcoming and made us feel at home.

Dolphin House is a truly unique place and experience. The position directly on the beach is priceless - I could never get sick of the view! There's a good balance of home comforts and the privacy of the house with still feeling connected with the outside, the community and just generally being in Zanzibar. We spent all of our time in the outside space - rotating between the sofas, the loungers on the beach, the table and the pool. It's incredibly well thought out and comfy! Rudy and his local team were always on hand. The chefs, in particular, are exceptional - while you are handy for plenty of restaurants and bars, we enjoyed every breakfast and most of our dinners at the villa. When you have the best spot on the beach, there was very little reason to leave!

We have such a wonderful time here. We felt right at home - so much that we decided to extend our stay. The house is located just meters away from the beach. This whole neighborhood is family or friends, and it’s obvious they all genuinely care about the visitors to their community. Everyone you encounter here is very friendly and polite. You can walk around any hour of the day without any issues here. Opposite the house there is a small restaurant called Panyopa which has amazing food. Another recommendation is to use Hassan’s driver. The fare he charges is fair with local standards and he was extremely helpful, helping us picking up fruit and groceries on our way to the Airbnb. This place is more than recommended from me. The good ratings are legit and I can’t see anyone being disappointed staying here. A true paradise.

Dieses Beachhouse ist perfekt zum Entspannen und erholen und bietet eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf das Meer. Eine tolle Erfahrung die Gezeiten einmal so intensiv beobachten zu können. Sehr entschleunigend. Der Host war immer gut zu erreichen und sehr hilfsbereit. Er hat außerdem viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Einziger Nachteil für mich waren die Stromausfälle und das ich dadurch nicht zuverlässig online arbeiten und Termine planen konnte. Die Unterkunft lädt aber auch mehr zum Urlaub machen, lesen und Entspannen ein. Definitiv eine klare Empfehlung und eine besonders schöne Unterkunft in Jambiani.

Fantastic stay! Staff is wonderful and welcoming, accommodation was exactly as described, and location is perfect. We left feeling feel very happy we decided to stay there. Highly recommended! :)

🏡 We had a great stay at the apartment, the bed was nice and comfortable and the shower was spacious with a relaxing rainshower. The apartment was nice and clean. 🗺️ The location of james' apartment was amazing, it's less than 2 min walk to the beach. You also pass by a cosy coffee place called Flow, I recommend you check it out. 💖 I want to give a special thanks to Amina, she was our main point of contact for any of our (many) questions. She responded very fast and was super friendly, overall easy to communicate with. I asked her about the "laundry nearby" as mentioned on the listing and she came and picked up our laundry and dropped it off after it was cleaned. It was very convenient. ⚡ There's an electricity problem in Paje, so from time to time the electricity would be off. Amina communicated this to us at our arrival. Throughout our stay she kept us in the loop on these power outages, which was very helpfull. Luckily this wasn't a big inconvenience for us. Asante sana!
