Villa vacation rentals in Unguja North Region

Sure! How about this: “I had a fantastic experience at your property. Everything was just right, and I felt so at home. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!” Does that work for you?

Beautiful and quiet place. The fridge could have been a bit better. In summary, we had a good time.

Our stay at the villa in the heart of Kidoti was truly unforgettable! The serene surroundings and beautifully designed minimalistic space made for a unique and relaxing experience. Mama Sulay was an incredible host, always available to provide helpful local tips, and the chef was one of the kindest people we met on our trip, his breakfasts were absolutely delicious! The villa blends seamlessly with nature, offering an open and airy feel. As a heads-up for future guests, the main villa is within the same garden and pool area as the host’s home, so while the setting is peaceful, those seeking complete privacy should take this into account. Additionally, since the villa is designed to be in harmony with nature, there are no glass windows, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs for added comfort. Overall, it was an amazing stay, and we highly recommend it to those looking for an authentic and tranquil getaway in Zanzibar!

We just had an incredible stay at this beachfront villa in Zanzibar. It an incredibly beautiful location, and the house is spacious and clean. The real star of the property, beside the gorgeous beach is the staff. From the management agency, to the house manager Sule, to Tatu our housekeeper and Fabio the most friendly and warm Maasai guard- everyone made my daughter and I feel right at home. We hired a fantastic chef, Robinson through the agency and he made the best food at our request every day and the cost was reasonable. This is a must book for a peaceful vacation in Zanzibar away from the commercial hotel scene. Thank you Paolo for hosting us!

Loved staying at Dullah's, he was very welcoming even staying up til 2am when we arrived due to delayed flight. The whole villa was gorgeous with spacious rooms, clean floors, pristine bathroom and crip sheets. The power including wifi would go off especially at night, we were prewarned and in Africa so didn't bother us but could for some. Dullah hooked us up with local companies for scuba diving and was full of recommendations! Could have communicated a little bit clearer on prices of laundry and paying for water as there was a bit of confusion but otherwise wonderful place to stay.

If you like a private place on a beautifull spot this is your place! The beach and house are beautifull and very authentic. The staff is amazing and the chef cooks the best mrals we have tasted on Zanzibar.

The best vacation of our life thanks to this lovely home on the beach in Zanzibar. Lucrezia was a very responsive host. The house manager Mariam was outstanding at everything and keeping us comfortable, arranging taxis, arranging chef, being responsive with the house. Chef Omar was amazing.The tastiest meals were prepared with artistry, healthiness and freshness and tasted fantastic! We did yoga every morning at The Yoga Bar which is literally a 1 minute walk away from the Airbnb along the beach. We got to talk to many of the local village people who were kind. Shopping along the beach with local vendors is also a 2 min walk away on the beach. We rarely needed to leave the area. We did occasionally for excursions which were easy to coordinate with Mariam. But we always loved coming back to this Airbnb home as our home base. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful Zanzibar Tanzania memories at this relaxing beach home. We will be back!

11 of us came to stay at the villa for my friend’s hen party. It absolutely met all our expectations and more. The pool was a perfect size, dining table was fab and the rooms great. Lucy, Grace, Jane and all the staff were phenomenal and could not have done more for us. The food they cooked us was beautiful and they really helped us out by sorting extra food shopping (snacks etc) for us. The beach and all restaurants/bars are a 5 minute walk away and as a group of females we felt safe walking along the beach and back to the villa after an evening out. 100% recommend.

Ina and Msuli are very pleasant, considerate and available hosts to facilitate the stay. Always good advice, they helped us organize our activities by offering us people we trust, especially when one of us was sick. The house is nice and the people employed are charming, always ready to help. Great stay!

Hostly’s team was incredibly flexible and made sure my group had a fantastic 7-night stay—and my birthday celebration was unforgettable! The villa’s view is surreal, and the housekeepers/breakfast makers were lovely—they even baked me a birthday cake and decorated my room! Most reported issues were swifty addressed. I used Hostly's spa services, and the 90-min outdoor massages were heavenly. The beds were comfortable, and I loved the two pools and beach access. Areas for improvement: - Stronger generator to power AC and hot water during outages - Stronger Wi-Fi; spotty connectivity was a challenge without SIM cards - More breakfast variety over a week-long stay - Regular pest control to reduce mosquitoes and flies - Some bathrooms lacked shower-toilet separation, causing water to spread - Prefer communication via Airbnb app for seamless discussions Despite these issues, Hostly’s amazing service and flexibility made our stay incredible. Highly recommend this stunning villa!

Lorenz was very responsive and accommodating, particularly when we expressed concern that the whirlpool is inside and cannot be closed off. we have a 3 year old who sometimes wanders at night and we were worried he would get into the pool while we slept; Lorenz offered to drain and cover the whirlpool for us. the beach is lively and clean and everyone we encountered was very friendly. lots of restaurants nearby on the beach. the house staff is very friendly and helpful. the washer listed as an amenity was not available but the staff took our laundry and washed and dried it for us.

We booked both connecting airbnbs. They are identical. The prompt was even better than pictured. Many ig picture worthy spots. There is only ac on the bedrooms so the common areas do get warm. The house manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend getting the chef he did a great job. There is a little convenience store about 10 min walk but other than that there isn’t a whole lot around. The location is an hour drive from The rock restaurant, stone town and the northern beach.

The villa offers privacy, a private swimming pool, and beach access. Riccardo is simply an outstanding host. The structure offers a blend of Italian and Zanzibari culture. The housekeepers were highly professional and very warm. The villa is exceptionally impressive and extremely well-maintained. Of most the Airbnbs I have stayed in, I would highly rate this one without any reservations.

Absolutely stunning house in paradise! The garden, the colors of the sea, the house itself - everything is gorgeous. But the staff are the real prize. Asia, chef, and Peter took such good care of us. Fabulous meals, spotless housekeeping, good security. We arrived tired and cranky and left rested and refreshed - we were so sad to leave! We would not hesitate to book again and again.

This place was absolutely awesome. You will not find a better place in Zanzabar. The beach is great and the accommodations were spectacular. We really had a great time on this trip because of the location of this Airbnb.

it's a 10/10 everything was great,we enjoyed staying at Villa liem and we will definitely visit the place again...

nice place, very cozy. but lots of electricity issues however the hosts were very helpful with generators. lots of annoying salesman waiting outside the property following us around all day which wasnt fun

This was by far the best place we stayed at, which was agreed upon by a group of 6 guests. Check-in was very flexible and the place looked even better than described on the site. The place was cleaned daily and Co host Bakari was very attentive by coming daily to check on us. The surrounding areas were amazing and great food was all around the place. There was nothing that fell short. Overlooking the beach with bbq amenities on the roof top that offered great views all around. This place was phenomenal. Five stars in our view.

Our 2 families (10 persons) had a great time and stay in this house over Christmas. This house doesn't have any AC but the fans do a pretty good job. Nice deep pool which was of great use as the tide and seaweed has big influence on the beach just outside . Along the shore there are couple of cozy restaurants. Be caution and aware of palm trees with coconuts that can fall down from the neighbor plots. Housekeeper Hidaya was great and so friendly, she helped with cleaning and cooking.

We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful and Bakari and Vicki were on hand to help with anything. The house was very clean and Vicki did a great job leaving us lovely bed art. Would love to visit and stay again.

Super Fantastic Host Extraordinary. I am yet to meet any host of Carol’s capacity. Over and beyond that call of duty. I love to cook on holidays, Carol was my guide that took me to the local market, made sure I wasn’t reaped off by the locals. Went to two different markets. Helped to change currency at the local bureau de change. All around astonishing and outstanding ! Highly recommended and appreciated.

Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.

Amazing on all levels. Warmly recommended and I will stay here next time I’m in Zanzibar 🙏
