Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Stone Town

This place was perfect for what I needed and the host did an amazing job communicating and accommodating me.

I had a great one-week stay here. The studio was just as shown in the photos—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials including Wifi . Anything extra I needed was easy to find at the supermarket within. The infinity pool is a nice new addition, as it overlooks the ocean. I’d definitely recommend it for a relaxing stay.

Thank you very much for bearing the early checkin and late check-out charges.

It’s my second time here and I enjoyed my stay once again. Wanja is a responsible host. Hope to stay there again.

A very good choice in Kiwengwa. Close to the beach and easy to find transport. You have access to a great pool and outdoor area. Just enjoy. Margarita is truly helpful, proactive and positive.

My family had a wonderful 4 nights staying at Margo’s property - very private, very large functional bedrooms with fans, air conditioning and private ensuites, plus a separate fully self contained 3rd bedroom. A beautiful pool, 24 hour security onsite, daily house cleaning by Ester. And the dogs were super friendly and great company. If you like football, pack your boots and enjoy a game with the locals on the pitch next door. If you like tapas or just really good food - recommend having dinner at “ To Be” which is approx 1km from Margo’s. Couldn’t find fault with the accommodation or the lovely Margo as a wonderful host, who was available, responsive but also gave us total privacy.

Our stay in Paje was simply magical, thanks in large part to the stunning villa we had the pleasure of calling home. The villa itself was an absolute dream, beautifully designed with an aesthetic with a traditional Zanzibari charm. Every detail, from the hand-woven textiles to the carefully curated decor, created an ambiance of tranquility and elegance. Sonia and Matteus were the most gracious hosts, always available to assist with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality and birthday decor made us feel instantly welcome. The breakfast spread in the morning was a delightful feast, featuring fresh fruit and a variety of delicious options. The villa's location was perfect, just steps away from the pristine sands of Paje Beach. We spent our days soaking up the sun, and exploring the vibrant local culture. Evenings were spent relaxing on the villa's pool , enjoying the cool breeze. We highly recommend!

Very nice and well-maintained accommodation . The patio was like a small oasis where we could cool off after a day in the sun on the beach. The next time I travel to Zanzibar, I will no doubt stay here again!

We had an amazing time at Liza’s villa! It’s a very beautiful house, especially the pool area and the rooftop. Liza provided a lot of information about the house and the area beforehand, which was appreciated.

We brought a large group to stay at Prisca's place for two weeks. Prisca was very communicative and extremely accommodating. She purchased additional mattresses, sheets, and towels for our group. She purchased a water dispenser for us when we requested one. There were some problems in the house during our stay (which is common in Tanzania), but her local staff were quick to help us. The house is massive and can accommodate a lot of people and has A/Cs and water heaters throughout. The kitchen is big but not particularly well stocked; we needed to buy a bunch of our own utensils in order to properly cook for so many people. The location is pretty far north of Dar, but it was worth it for the great price and Prisca's great service.

We loved staying at Thani’s place in the old part of Stonetown, very near everything.. the room and private bathroom on the first floor (up quite steep stairs) were very spacious, clean, simple. The bed was big and comfortable. Thani was very helpful and knowledgable about his home town, quickly answered any queries, collected us from the airport and later arranged a taxi to take us on to Kendwa.. a real gentleman.. we would highly recommend

I decided to live in this guesthouse and not a hotel, because I really value family life. Exactly this wish and demand for my trip, to live together with locals and to make many contacts, was met by the Rafiki guest house. It is one of the cheaper accommodations in Zanzibar because it is not a comfortable hotel - but the focus is on being together, which I really appreciate. If you would like to establish close, friendly contacts quickly and easily, this guesthouse is really perfect for you because all the guests who live there and the owners of the guesthouse are incredibly open and helpful. William even picked me up from the airport and organized excursions and tours for me through acquaintances and friends. In the evenings we ate and partied together in the kitchen under open skies :) For me, this is the unique aspect of Rafiki Guesthouse: It creates honest and lasting friendships!
