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.

A home far away from home
Hamid was great- he let us have a late checkout and there was a problem with the tv which he replaced within an hour. Recommended local places to eat and go out

Cozy duplex garden apartment at Paje Beach
We had an absolutely incredible stay at this cozy duplex in The Soul, Paje! We felt welcomed by the vibrant community and the peaceful atmosphere. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect home away from home. Whether you're staying for a few nights or planning a long-term stay, this place truly has everything you need. One of the highlights for me was the stunning lagoon pool. It was such a joy to step outside and take a refreshing dip whenever we wanted! The pool area is beautifully maintained, with shallow sections that make it perfect for families with kids. The entire resort feels very secure, thanks to the 24/7 security, and the welcoming lobby and reception staff were always helpful. The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and always available to answer any questions. This duplex is the perfect spot to experience the best of Paje and Zanzibar. I’m already looking forward to my next stay!

Zanzllywood Uroa Beach Apartments
Zanzilywood is good place for those looking peaceful surroundings in an isolated location. The grounds include a pool and store with all the items you need. The apartments are very spacious. If anything is missing, the hosts are quick correct the situation. Moreover, the host can arrange for your transportation both near and into Stonestown. I was satisfied with my stay.

Modern Apartment in Zanzibar (Free Airport Pickup)
Joshua and Isca we were very happy with our stay, from the easy check in with detailed instructions (made late check-in so much easier), excursion bookings, (excellent partners/drivers), it allowed us to check out different parts of the island in our short stay and meet some very nice people along the way. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you for the well thought out, comfortable stay at your apartment! Asante Sana!

Karibu Zanzibar Cozy Home, King size 2 Bedroom.
My wife and I had a wonderful 4-day stay at this lovely 2-bedroom apartment during the Eid holidays while visiting our friends and family in town. The apartment was clean, spacious, and very well-maintained—exactly what we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bedrooms were cozy, the living area was inviting, and the kitchen had everything we needed for a few home-cooked meals. It truly felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, yet conveniently located close to everything we needed. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made sure our stay was smooth from check-in to check-out. We genuinely appreciated the thoughtful touches and hospitality. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Culture's House - Apartment 1
We stayed for 5 weeks (!) at Culture & Alessandra's place and we absolutely LOVED it. Although we booked another apartment, we were really happy with the one we got. The location is phenomenal, as it is literally less than 2 minutes walking to the beach. Yet it feels very private because the house is on a dead-end street. The apartment is simple, but fully equipped. We felt right at home. Alessandra is truly the very best and sweetest host you could wish for. She helped us a lot with renting a motorcycle, making restaurant reservations and even took us to the hospital when (unfortunately) needed. Their dog Bantu often walked with us to the beach or came to lay with us on the porch, so cozy! We did have some problems with the AC - we couldn't get the room cooler than 26 degrees and it often failed because of power cuts (a general electricity problem in Zanzibar). Funny enough, 5 weeks still felt too short, so we hope to come back and then we will definitely stay here again.

Paje Villa-Pool,Hot Bath,FREE Pick/Drop,Barbeque G
Our stay in Paje was unforgettable. Just a 7-minute walk from the beach, the home offered peace and convenience. Airport pick-up and drop-off were smooth, and every morning began with a hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, fish, milk, eggs, nuts, and sourdough. Judith, our host, was fantastic—communication was easy, and she kindly recommended a nearby hospital when our daughter fell ill. The Balinese-inspired interiors were calming and beautiful, adding a special touch to our stay. Our daughters adored the bathtub and wouldn’t stop talking about it on the way home! The bedding was pure luxury, with pillows so soft you could melt in them. My wife and I spent peaceful afternoons by the pool, truly relaxed. This place was a dream, and we’ll definitely be back!
