Kasa Pili - Ocean View Pool Villa + Generator

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews3 months ago

We discovered our Eden, where the reality of the place exceeds the listing description. A beautiful discovery with a perfect balance between the modernity of the amenities, the design and the perfect harmony of the place with its natural environment (tropical fauna and flora) around the theme of eco-responsibility. The view from the outdoor terrace is breathtaking and transports us to a waking dream. As for the hosts, Karl and Salha, it's hard to do better. Always attentive, trying to find solutions to make our stay easier and what responsiveness. Perfect communication and additional services offered to further improve the experience (driver, local guide, cook, home massage, car rental brought directly to the accommodation...). In short, the best compromise between the services of a palace and the tranquility in the well-being of a private rental. We didn't want to leave, little paradise

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews2 months ago

🏡 We had a great stay at the apartment, the bed was nice and comfortable and the shower was spacious with a relaxing rainshower. The apartment was nice and clean. 🗺️ The location of james' apartment was amazing, it's less than 2 min walk to the beach. You also pass by a cosy coffee place called Flow, I recommend you check it out. 💖 I want to give a special thanks to Amina, she was our main point of contact for any of our (many) questions. She responded very fast and was super friendly, overall easy to communicate with. I asked her about the "laundry nearby" as mentioned on the listing and she came and picked up our laundry and dropped it off after it was cleaned. It was very convenient. ⚡ There's an electricity problem in Paje, so from time to time the electricity would be off. Amina communicated this to us at our arrival. Throughout our stay she kept us in the loop on these power outages, which was very helpfull. Luckily this wasn't a big inconvenience for us. Asante sana!

Magnolia Villa ,Beachfront Villa -Matemwe Zanzibar

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviews4 months ago

Villa Magnolia is as beautiful as it's name - we spent a very relaxing 4days there. The house is large and spacious, with beautifully furnished rooms and Zanzibari beds, and great aircon. It's position is perfect, right on the beach, but set back a bit so you still feel very private, and easy walking to several great restaurants and local tour operators and dive centre. The staff that live behind the house are very pleasant and helpful, keot the garden looking beautiful, yet were discreet when we didn't need them, and we loved their 2 dogs who were very well behaved. Aiasha and Shafiq were helpful with local recommendations, flexible with our check in and out, and organised a very reliable taxi to collect us and drive us there, that we ended up using for our next few transfers and for a very interesting Spice Farm tour. Highly recommended!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful apartment by the ocean! The place was spotless, and we loved having a fully equipped kitchen—we cooked every day and felt right at home. The host was outstanding—super responsive and always willing to help. He even arranged airport pickup and offered planning support for various trips Jambiani is a charming village with everything you need, except cash (so plan ahead!). The WiFi isn’t ideal for remote work, but it’s perfectly fine. The restaurant next to the place was absolutely amazing. Overall, an unforgettable experience—we’d absolutely come back!

LIBERTY One bed 170m2 apartment - Deluxe Zanzibar

4.71 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviews2 weeks ago

Greg and Grace provided great support in advance. Greg was even so sweet and changed €100 for me so we didn't have to change money at the airport for an unfair course and were therefore taken care of for the first few days. We landed in Zanzibar in the middle of the night, the taxi organized by Greg picked us up at the airport and Grace was so kind to meet us in the morning. Both were always available via Whats App and gave us really very good tips on good restaurants in the area. The Airbnb itself, the terrace with a hot tub and the illuminated pool area overlooking the sea, can be used almost 24/7. From the bedroom you have an incredible view of the sea and can really watch the most beautiful sunrises in the morning after waking up. On request you can have breakfast prepared, you can just make out the time and say what you want. So it was great too! We had a good time :)

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.

We had a great stay and found the apartment even better than previously described. It is in a complex with other apartments, but it is super pleasant. The beach is very close (but you should pay attention to the tides), small shops are within walking distance, otherwise you have to drive to Paje, but that is also easy to reach!

Beachfront Private Villa with stunning view

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews2 months ago

Simply fantastic! Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed – the hospitality was noticeable from start to finish and made our stay special. The location of the hotel is perfect: Right on the beautiful beach of Michamvi Pingwe, far from mass tourism, but still close to highlights such as "The Rock." Here we could enjoy the tranquility, especially the beach is the best we have seen on our tour. Especially because there is a large sandbank right outside the front door. Our room was spacious, very clean and stylishly furnished. We were particularly impressed by the view of the turquoise sea, which was simply magical! We were spoiled with culinary delights: Breakfast with fresh fruits, pancakes and delicious scrambled eggs was a perfect start to the day. We enjoyed fantastic dishes from the in-house kitchen: the white wine and the fish platter are highly recommended. And there's shisha too! The service was first class! THANK YOU! ?

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.
