Baobab V2 Villa apartment(140m2)
After 2 weeks of volunteering, this accommodation was great to come down and relax. The location was really great and Barbara was always on hand to help with recommendations, a bajaji etc. needed. It was a great end to our time in Zanzibar. Highly recommended!

Villa Retreat
Fantastic location on the ocean, with fabulous views from all terraces and especially from the upper outside deck. Great open plan living space with views and spacious bedrooms with en suite bathrooms . The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind and discreet, always there to greet and assist. The property and gardens are really well designed and have a great flow. Superb walks to the reefs at low tide. The remote location provides great privacy and relaxation, highly recommended. We will be back!

Villa Azurina
Beautiful, peaceful place to rest in. We enjoyed swimming in the private pool, and the stunning view of the sea. Julia provided us with a cot, a high chair, and even some toys for our son.

Nakupenda House
Nakudenda House is a nice, spacious house in the heart of Jambiani village. The beach is just a stone's throw away. Lots of nice restaurants around. The house offers comfortable, large bedrooms. It's nicely decorated and has all you need to enjoy wonderful Jambiani. Eta and Romain are very nice hosts, very proactive and try to solve any problems as quickly as possible. Communicating with them was very easy and they go out of their way to make your stay a nice one.

Beautiful Villa at 2 minutes from the Beach
Thanks for a wonderful stay Raphael. The house is beautiful, it is as described. It is very well maintained, there are fruit trees and bougainvillea on the property and it is beautiful The house is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The pool is large and clean, we enjoyed it in the late afternoon after returning from the beach (1 min walk) Issa the caretaker is a kind, efficient and trustworthy man. Raphael is an exceptional host, he responded promptly to our many requests always with a kind word and a smile in his voice. We hope to meet him one day and we will certainly return to his home. Go there without so much as a second thought.

It was an amazing stay and a wonderful experience

A stylish, comfortable home with views galore
This beautiful apartment is brand new. Immaculate and very comfortable . It’s a cosy apartment with breathtaking views . We loved our stay here . Traditional yet modern style blends in this livable family home. Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances , all the amenities were perfect! I like the way the host created a beautiful setting every detail mattered . Every room is so livable and that’s what I love the most . We were planning to stay one month but ended up staying longer. Riziki is the most thoughtful gracious host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable . Exceptional Hospitality.

private villa with private pool and 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.

PAJE, CONFY ROOM WITH A/C IN VILLA WITH POOL
Can only recommend this place - we could have easily spent several days here. The rooms are lovely, the staff is nice and helpful, and the outdoor area is super nice.

Raha Love Gorgeous 1B Garden apartment FumbaTown
My 3 week stay at Wanja's place was peaceful and I felt at home. Wanja and the Aura Space Team were always responsive to my inquires and accommodating to my needs during my stay. This was my first visit to East Africa and to Zanzibar so I appreciated each of the dining and sightseeing suggestions Wanja provided. The area was very walkable and I met many friendly locals who helped to make my stay enjoyable. I would stay at Wanja's place again.

Villa Zuhura in Zanzibar
Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

Zen-Zanzibar Beach Front Villa
The house was great. We had everything we needed and were able to visit restaurants on foot along the beach. People are incredibly welcoming. The housekeepers Majuma, Aysa and Ben were the best and loved ones. They were incredibly sweet and helpful. prepared us a super delicious breakfast and dinner every day. The two tour guides Solomon and Rahmadan booked us unforgettable trips, everything we imagined was made possible without problems. They were always there for us and offered us a car service. We all really loved it. All in all, everything went perfectly and smoothly. We can 100% recommend the villa.

Kite & Surf Villa Paje (Kite & Surf Villa Paje)
In January we visited Zanzibar (I had stayed in various beautiful accommodations for the 4th time). The Airborne Kite and Surf Villa is a real gem located in a beautiful garden/small jungle. We immediately felt welcome and at home. Everything we needed for cooking was there. Shopping is plentiful and the beach is a few minutes away. Jan's team was always kind and helpful. When we sat on the terrace, we often felt like we were in the zoo. There are 4 cuddly cats who visited us daily (sometimes 2 more people wanted to go😊),a guinea pig,a mouse (who repeatedly managed to escape the cats),a lizard (who liked to sunbathe on the stones at noon),Bushbabys (which we unfortunately only heard),various bird species,cicadas... We recovered wonderfully and enjoyed the time there. From us 10 ⭐️ 👍 Anna and Ines

Macheko
Vuai’s place was very very nice, almost in front of the beach, in a safe, chill, and nice neighborhood, with a local minimarket nearby, and only 10 mins from Kuza Cave and 15 mins from Paje. The kitchen had everything one could need and the bathroom was very clean and nice.

Modern Apartment in Zanzibar (Free Airport Pickup)
They were accommodating, they were great to respond, very hospitable

Uroa Escape | Zanzibar Beachfront | Wi-Fi |King BD
The villa was absolutely beautiful. It looks much bigger in real life than in the pictures. It’s right next to the beach, making it easy to go for long walks along the shore. There are also many local restaurants nearby. I want to thank Grace ❤️ and the security gentleman for their help and kindness—they truly made my stay special!

Wamasaa Garden
Very pleasant stay, comfortable house, large rooms with fan and air conditioning for one of them, great sheltered terrace and beautiful garden Reassuring presence of the caretaker for 2 single women, communication not always easy but possible to go through the host who is very responsive Surprises by the first random power outage in the neighborhood, but then we get used to it and it's part of the local life and we adapt Real proximity to the beach and restaurant bars in the village Beautiful beaches and lagoon, friendly little village with a welcoming population Taxis available for excursions and groceries as needed We are delighted with our stay at Waziri's and ready to come back as soon as we can!
