Villa holiday rentals in Mjini Magharibi Region

Really enjoyed my stay here! It’s peaceful and quiet which is so nice to come back to after going out all day sightseeing. The rooms are spacious and the yard is beautiful. I’d stay there again! Thank you!!

This place is beautiful, if not even more impressive in person. Large space for a family or group of friends. The villa was spotless clean and host even offered cleaning services throughout our stay to make us feel more comfortable. We ordered the breakfast and dinner on some of the days which was very useful since the villa is a little distant from restaurants and supermarkets. The back pool looking out into the sea was our favourite part of the house as it made the stay very relaxing. The host Urah was available at all hours to answer any questions or issues that we had which was useful when we had blackouts. The security guards were very friendly and made us feel very safe. We would definitely stay here again when we need a breather from the busyness of the beautiful island.

Ina and Msuli are very pleasant, considerate and available hosts to facilitate the stay. Always good advice, they helped us organize our activities by offering us people we trust, especially when one of us was sick. The house is nice and the people employed are charming, always ready to help. Great stay!

We had a wonderful time, the house is beautiful and Bakari and Vicki were on hand to help with anything. The house was very clean and Vicki did a great job leaving us lovely bed art. Would love to visit and stay again.

Overall, this place was fantastic. It’s a traditional Zanzibar design so it’s not a modern place, but exactly what we wanted. We were thrilled to be there with our large group of two families, including 5 children. Rasheed was excellent and accommodated all of our requests. Food, especially breakfast, was delicious. The beach outside the villa is pristine, with white sand beaches and a beautiful Indian Ocean right outside the doorstep. The private pool was incredible. The villa rental subsidizes the Tamani Foundation and its students, so staying here contributes to the education of local kids. Win win.

We booked both connecting airbnbs. They are identical. The prompt was even better than pictured. Many ig picture worthy spots. There is only ac on the bedrooms so the common areas do get warm. The house manager was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend getting the chef he did a great job. There is a little convenience store about 10 min walk but other than that there isn’t a whole lot around. The location is an hour drive from The rock restaurant, stone town and the northern beach.

We stayed 5 nights with our family of 5 at Maji Lodge. We had a wonderful time at Natalia’s fantastic place. The location is quiet and peaceful, and if you are looking for a place without too many beach seller and nightlife noise, Matemwe is for you! From booking to finish Natalia and her team were super helpful and responsive, helping with transfers and an other questions that we had. We used her chef service for preparation of breakfast on the first two mornings which was soo worth the little extra money. They had provided the grocery shopping for that as well at a good price. The villa was beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The lady providing the daily cleaning service was so friendly and thorough - the place was spotless and so was the pool area which was looked after and cleaned throughout the day. The 24 hr security team and the generator an extra plus because you do experience power cuts at times, especially in bad weather. I can only highly recommend Maji Lodge!

Great location, nice pool ,the place looks even more beautiful than the pictures and very safe . The host Simone were very nice and very helpful. Found a great driver for me and my friends.the cook and staff were very nice and lovely.loved the place will definitely come back.of course more than 5 stars

What an amazing experience, we had a large group and used the Chef services and the food was amazing !!!, such a peaceful place in the midst of nature, if you want to switch of from life for a few days this place is perfect. Kids loved the extra room with the bunk beds and the pools kept them entertained. We took a trip over to the East coast and tbh as nice as the day trip was, it was great to get back to the villas and the peace that surrounds them. Salha and Karl were amazing hosts giving us the privacy we needed but were always available to help with anything we needed. I cannot recommend enough. We will be back for sure. Thanks

This place was absolutely awesome. You will not find a better place in Zanzabar. The beach is great and the accommodations were spectacular. We really had a great time on this trip because of the location of this Airbnb.

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%.

Anne’s place was modern and clean. The staff was amazing and went over and beyond to accommodate us whether it came to booking tours/ excursions or something we randomly needed around the property. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a balance between remote and relaxation but close enough to get to the main attractions of the island.

The place is super spacious, very clean, and has a great pool and outdoor space. The staff on site are wonderful. Meg and Eddy are the best hosts I’ve ever had from Airbnb and they go the extra mile on everything to make sure you have what you need, give great recommendations, and make you feel at home. Would highly recommend staying here!

We had such a lovely stay in the villa, it was so peaceful and luxurious. The food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond for us

WOW what a place. It gives you an authentic Zanzibar experience. From the moment I booked the process with Stephania was flawless. She is warm helpful and responsive. We met her upon check in and she makes you very welcome. The Villa is beautiful private and spacious. It has everything you need and a little grocery pack is waiting for you. It is decorated in a true Swahili style....very tasteful. Being right on the beach you always have a nice breeze. It was very hot when we went but the villa, pool and its grounds provided some much needed respite and shade. Its position is perfect...a lot of people that walked by admired it! Stephania and Rama have a great team. Pilee tends the villa garden daily and keeps the beach in front clean and tidy and Gucci tends to the pool. He will also take you to the village to shop or buy fish ..very helpful and kind. We used Rama for our taxi needs to and from the villa and a very early airport drop. He also does some fantastic trips. A superb place.

I enjoyed my stay at this Airbnb, however it is further from the beach than described and not in a walkable area. There is a significant electrical issue, that causes appliances to not work at night. Including the refrigerator, and AC. Pros: very convenient co-host Shebby ( great at planning activities) , very responsive and quick to correct issues, 24/7 security, cleanliness. I would still recommend this Airbnb to anyone wishing to stay in kendwa at a good price Cons: electrical issue affects; A/C , refrigerator and more. Stove does not work. Mattresses are extremely uncomfortable,

This is truly a one of a kind villa- perfect for long term stays as the rare feature of uninterrupted solar electricity is a luxury in Zanzibar. Arnaud is a kind stalwart host, ready to attend to the villa at anytime. Anne is superb at sweet efficient communication. They really know how to make you feel at home. The 24 hour Maasi attendant and 3 cool dogs ensure a safe stay. The villa is situated perfectly between Kendwa and Nungwi beaches, two pristine beaches which can be reached in a short walk or ride. Grocery stores are a quick walk as well. Barakana restaurant delivery has plenty of yummy menu choices. The villa is perfectly equipped with spacious rooms and ample shelving. The bathrooms are fantastic! Extra large showers with hot water and Kardashian luxury disappearing sinks- allowing space for an entire family's toiletries. The rooftop pool penthouse lounge is marvelous, offerring panoramic sunrises and sunsets and exquisite star filled nights under the African sky.

Tatyana was a very responsive host. My family and my friend's family had a restful 2 days stay there. We enjoyed the facilities and she also gave a few recommendations for places to visit nearby. Swimming pool was very well maintained and also temperature controlled. Early morning or late evening even on monsoon days we enjoyed the pool. Julia (pet dog) was also very friendly and playful and my kids enjoyed playing with the pet too. Only one challenge we faced was because of the water. Water was bit hard and salty in the bath room and wash basin. Except that everything else was wonderful.
