Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Zanzibar Archipelago

This stay was exactly what I was hoping for. A true genuine experience in Zanzibar. Both Mau and Nessma made me feel right at home. Nessma's breakfasts were some of the best I've had and Mau took me on a walking tour of the village where everyone seemed to know him and me by default at the days of end. The accommodations were simple but clean and I felt completely safe.

Mau and Nasma were very welcoming and friendly. We were allowed to check in and out late with no issues, and enjoyed a cooking lesson in their home and a big dinner together afterwards. Would definitely recommend for an authentic activity and stay!

Maulid is a great host! He solved all the problems that occured and helped us in every way possible. He has a lovely house, lovely wife and amazing breakfast :)

My partner and I had a wonderful stay with Mau and Nasma. We stayed for two weeks and felt completely at home. The house is well presented with enough space and privacy for guests. The daily breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, bread and juice is lovely. We were welcome to cook in the small kitchen. Our room was cleaned regularly and Nasma leaves thoughtful touches. We were allowed to bring our pet kitten - asante sana! Mau communicates clearly and quickly in English (both in person and on WhatsApp) and helped us with taxis and trips around the island. Our only suggestion is to improve the shower water pressure if possible. Mau and the family conduct themselves with integrity and the accommodation offers excellent value for money. It was a privilege to stay with such a friendly and kind family. We highly recommend - tunaja tena!

As our first time traveling abroad, we felt right at home at The Zanzibar Beach House (which made saying goodbye so hard.) We were blown away with the views, the amazing self-catering unit to cook our own foods (to stay within our budget) and the help we received from the hosts were great! We will miss this piece of paradise 🏝 and we only wish for everyone else planning their trip to Zanzibar to take our advise and book the stay at the unique Zanzibar Beach House! We hope to be back soon! 🇹🇿

It is a very nice place to stay. The location is very close to a wonderful beach. Hilali is a great host, he knows everything about the island, he can organise transport, trips, etc. for reasonable prices. He is very friendly and compertent , and for all ladies very charming and handsome :)
