Msasani Bay View
We have stayed in a number of places in Dar es Salaam, but this one has been the best so far: great location directly on the beach, lots of excellent restaurants in the vicinity, great supermarket a short Poa-ride away, a safe, quiet house in a compound and Junaid is extremely responsive and helpful with any queries that may come up. Definitely a place to come back to in the future.

The Tanzanite: Furnished 2 Bedroom Apartment
the apartment was clean with beautiful surroundings. Odette is super friendly and responded quick to any of my questions. it was worth the price, although we didn't have free wifi as the it shows that here, however, I would say that this apartment is even more beautiful than what is showing in the pictures here, the pictures doesn't do it justice. I stayed for 10 days and it felt like home. would definitely book the place again whenever I'm visiting Fumba again.

Historic Brutal architectural gem: Dar-es-Salaam
Kate’s apartment is something special. The building is full of history, her space is so beautifully curated and the views of the city are epic. Kate is warm and communicative and more than accommodating. My stay offered a beautiful entry into Dar.

Ocean wave apartment (BeachFront)
Beautiful place, I enjoyed staying here during my vacation with family. My boys enjoyed the ocean breeze from their bedroom window, the swimming pool and the quick access to the beach. Lars was always a text away to jump in when we needed instructions. Thank you! We will recommend to friends.

Sun Studio: Breakfast, Pool & Garden @Fumba Town
Thank you for your hospitality and service. May God bless you

Attractive Stay Stonetown Zanzibar
Brenda and Ire's place is a true home, not an apartment that is only rented out. Lots of quirky decor, very colourful, we loved it (family with two teenage daughters). The girls could just walk around by themselves in town, it is all very friendly. Comfy beds and shower. The rooms were a bit hot in January, but manageable with the extra fans provided. Ire, Omar and Salum were very helpful and kind. Brenda wasn't around, but provided timely and extensive communication ahead of our stay. We have been coming to Stone town since 1994; and even with the mass tourism now firmly established on Unguja, Stone town somehow manages to keep its own spirit and this place reflects that spirit. Great stay, we were very happy to come here.

Azure oasis zanzibar
Our 5 day stay at Zuhura’s Airbnb was outstanding! From the start, Zuhura was incredibly kind, friendly, and always quick to respond to any questions. The place itself was immaculate and wonderful. It’s central location was perfect, putting us within easy walking distance of many beautiful spots, malls and restaurants making the area convenient and enjoyable. I highly recommend Zuhura’s Airbnb for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and well located place to stay. Thank you Zuhura, for a memorable trip

Villa 2 chambres à 1 minute de la plage
Séjour exceptionnel ! La maison est décorée avec goût et parfaitement située à quelques pas de la plage. Calme, propre, confortable, avec tout ce qu’il faut pour se sentir chez soi. L’hôte a été disponible, chaleureux et très professionnel. Un vrai petit coin de paradis à Zanzibar. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !

Villa Heidi at beach with pool - Zanzibar
what a lovely place with lovely hosts and caretakers would definitely recommend Villa heidi to anyone and will definitely be returning

Villa Nyumbani
2 weeks in this house was really peaceful and nice. The general manager Mudy and also Anna were very proactive. The house is situated in a very quiet environment and we could walk 15 minutes to Kendwa beach. Otherwise we took moto taxis. I really recommand this place

Family Beach House - right on the beach
Ernst ist ein sehr guter Gatsgeber . Er reagiert sofort und Hilft immer .Alles ist sehr gut Organisiert.Die Hilfe vor Ort hat er sehr gut geregelt. Es ist immer ein Ansprechpartner da.Vielleicht mal über ein Notstromaggregat nachdenken......Das Haus liegt direkt am Strand , nur wenige Schritte zum Meer.Absolut Ruhige Lage.Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit dort.

Embedodo House, Ushongo beach, Pangani
Wij vonden het top! Elke middag lekker een stuk wandelen langs het strand om te gaan lunchen. Maar eigenlijk is er maar 1 echt goede lunch mogelijkheid en dat is bij Emayani beach lodge. Bij Mike hebben we het niet geprobeerd, omdat de dagen op waren. Het is elke avond om half 7/7 donker, dus in de avond thuis genieten van het eten van de kok is top! De prawns vonden we zo goed!! Chicken kunnen ze ook regelen. Wij waren er 4 nachten en 3 volle dagen en vonden dit een prima tijdsbestek. Niet langer, maar ook niet korter. Dankjewel!!!

Baobab Beach Villa, Ushongo Beach, Pangani
We stayed for a few days. Excellent place directly on the beach. Really enjoyed our stay. Hope to be back soon.

Villa Shepherd Zanzibar
Die Villa ist mit sie sehr viel Stil und Liebe eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin Patrizia sehr hilfsbereit und wirklich stilvoll. Die Gemälde an der Wand, die Bettwäsche aus Italien, die Details in der Villa und dann der Koch, der denn noch das Frühstück vorbereitet – es ist einfach nur zum Wohl fühlen und super!

Stylish Beach House - 1 min walk to Indian Ocean
Un séjour parfait dans la maison de Weyni a Jambiani. Parti a 7 en famille, nous avons apprécié d'être au coeur du village pour s'imprégner de la vie locale mais également d'être dans une réelle proximité de la plage. L'emplacement est parfait. Weyni est une hôte qui m'a accompagné et a communiqué dès la réservation jusqu'à la fin du séjour. Elle est très réactive et a toujours répondu avec gentillesse a nos demandes. Je remercie sincèrement Weyni et j'espère revenir dans sa maison pour un prochain séjour a Zanzibar tellement j'ai apprécié cette île et les personnes qui la composent. Je recommande fortement.

Beautiful place .. Great host.

Ocean Pearl Premium Stay - MEGA Discount
Wow! This is what this totally hidden gem of a place! We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home literally localated on the beach. Super friendly staff that will always try and accommodate your requests. Winny and Joseph and the masai security took great care of us. The private gardens are enormous with plenty of seating areas to enjoy the sea breeze. Our host Sabrina was such a kind and thoughtful host, she even took time out to come visit us. She recommended great places to order food from and even arranged a local massage therapist to come visit. We would 100% recommend this beautiful hidden home to anyone wanting the luxury of a beach front getaway.

Ocean View Junior Suite Tatu ZanzibarHouses
Zanzibar house, fait parti d’un de mes meilleurs Airbnb. Le logement est très propre, cuisine équipée (avec cuisto sur place pour le déjeuner et le repas, c’est le rêve!) Quant à la vue, face à la mer dès le matin pour passer des vacances de rêve Une personne de référence est sur place, et joignable! Rien à dire, je conseil fortement

Downtown Apartment with Sea View - 2 Bedrooms
Great location and conveniently located for city access and close to many amenities. Host was responsive and helpful with tips to get around.

Deluxe Beachfront Penthouse - Stunning Ocean Views
The staff was the best part of the stay. They were amazing, especially Dan. The property is next to the beach and in the middle of a village. Seeing the African culture and way of living mixed with paradisiac views…was riveting. Several descent restaurants in the area as well. Will definitely book again.

Elegant Two Bedroom Villa with Pool view
The dream village porte bien son nom. Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable, dans un cadre paisible et idyllique. L’hôte et son personnel étaient d’une gentillesse, d’une serviabilité et d’une hospitalité sans nom. Merci à vous d’avoir rendu ce voyage exceptionnel ! 🙏

Uroa Escape | Zanzibar Beachfront | Wi-Fi |King BD
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures. It’s right next to the beach, making it easy to go for long walks along the shore. There are also many local restaurants nearby. I want to thank Grace ❤️ and the security gentleman for their help and kindness—they truly made my stay special!
