Rahisi Stay| Private Pool| Breakfast

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 61 reviews1 month ago

We spent a perfect week in this small paradise, everything is made to ensure your stay is smooth and comfortable. It combines the advantage of the Airbnb (privacy, space, private pool) with those of a hotel (very good food, daily cleaning). Internet is fast. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of activities in this area of Zanzibar (caves, kayaking, parks etc). I recommend 100%.

Simone was een geweldige host! Reageerde super snel. Saïd haalde ons van het vliegveld en stond altijd paraat. Mtumwa poetse geweldig! Brandschoon. Bedden werden elke 4 dagen heerlijk verschoond. Bij uitval van electriciteit en water was er een generator. Fijn! Strand voor de deur niet echt schoon, maar klein stukje lopen en je hebt een fijn strand. In huis een info map met allerlei tips voor uitstapjes. Je kunt de hulpzame Saïd als chauffeur vragen, of iemand anders. Kinderen uit de buurt spelen voor de deur op het strand. Wij hebben er van genoten! Zet om 17.30 je stoel op het strand en kijk naar de visserbootjes die met hun vangst terugkomen. Het huis heeft een heerlijke veranda met eettafel en stoelen, waar je kunt ontbijten etc. Wij hebben een heerlijk verblijf van 4 weken gehad en danken Simone voor de goeie communicatie! Tip: neem eea voor de kinderen mee. Ze zijn echt arm.

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.

Villa Coco Jua Villa Jua

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews6 months ago

Absolute Empfehlung - wunderschönes Ferienhaus, genau wie auf den Fotos abgebildet, richtig toller kleiner Pool (der täglich gereinigt wird), super Ausstattung, wunderbare Terasse auf der wir hauptsächlich gelebt haben. :) Wir waren als Familie mit 10-jährigem Kind hier und haben uns mehr als wohl gefühlt. Top Rundum-Betreuung durch Bayuu (Manager), Hunani (Putzfee - mit ihr haben wir u. a. eine super Chilli-Sauce nach einheimischem Rezept gekocht) und Ikram (Pool- und Gartenpflege) sowie den netten Nachtwächtern. Kleine Oase! Unbedingt rausgehen und die Leute und Shops vor Ort besuchen, nicht nur am Strand rumhängen. ;) Jambiani bietet (aktuell noch) eine super Mischung aus Gastroangeboten und kleinen, entspannten Hotels und ganz "normalem" Dorfleben. Bist Du offen und lässt Dich auf "hakuna matata" ein, wirst Du hier eine fantastische Zeit haben. Wir haben uns zu keiner Zeit Sorgen gemacht um die oft erwähnte Kriminalität - auch Abendspaziergänge im Dunkeln waren kein Problem.

We enjoyed staying at Rashad’s place. It’s close to everything and just a walking distance to the beach. There are other restaurants around the place. Cleaners comes every morning if you want cleaning. Rashid is a nice person and easy to communicate with as well. I highly recommend this place to other Airbnb community.
