SandBank View Villa - Private Pool ZanzibarHouses
This was by far the best place we stayed at, which was agreed upon by a group of 6 guests. Check-in was very flexible and the place looked even better than described on the site. The place was cleaned daily and Co host Bakari was very attentive by coming daily to check on us. The surrounding areas were amazing and great food was all around the place. There was nothing that fell short. Overlooking the beach with bbq amenities on the roof top that offered great views all around. This place was phenomenal. Five stars in our view.

Villa Lala – Full Privacy Boutique Beach House
nice place, very cozy. but lots of electricity issues however the hosts were very helpful with generators. lots of annoying salesman waiting outside the property following us around all day which wasnt fun

Guru Guru Garden Houses "Amani house"
We had wanted to stay in Paje, but travelling on a budget decided to stay in Jambiani and just suffer the short journey to Paje everyday. I feel it was really nice being away from the hustle and bustle, the appartment was one of the best I’ve stayed in in ages, very well equipped and comfortable. The internet was adequate but I would recommend taxing a second sim as I was on VODA and couldn’t get signal without going outside into the road. It’s a short walk to the beach, just 2/3 mins and walking along the beach you can access nice places to eat and drink. I will love to stay again

Zen-Zanzibar Beach Front Villa
Das Haus war super. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten und konnten zu Fuß am Strand entlang Restaurants besuchen. Die Leute sind unglaublich herzlich. Die Haushälter/innen Majuma, Aysa und Ben waren die aller besten und liebsten. Sie waren unglaublich lieb und hilfsbereit. haben uns täglich ein super leckeres Frühstück und Abendessen zubereitet. Die beiden Tourguides Solomon und Rahmadan haben uns unvergessliche Trips gebucht, alles was wir uns vorgestellt haben wurde ohne Probleme möglich gemacht. Sie standen uns immer zur Seite und haben uns auch einen Fahrservice anbieten. Wir haben alle richtig doll ins Herz geschlossen. Alles in allem lief alles perfekt und reibungslos. Die Villa können wir zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Peponi Palace.
Such a beautiful and cozy home! It had a very warm, welcoming feel that made us feel right at home. Everything was thoughtfully set up, and the space was perfect for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend!

Zali Aerie- Beach Villa with Pool and Ocean View
We loved our stay at Theresia’s place, very private and peaceful, Theresia was very responsive to messages and very helpful. The property was lovely. Sam and Flola were very helpful and friendly and Ramadam made us a lovely Swahili breakfast every morning. We would absolutely recommend and if we are ever in Bwejuu again we would definitely stay again.

Villa Jasmine - Beach Front Private Pool
Thank you so much for hosting us at your villa, Calister! It was truly a wonderful getaway. We loved the beautiful beach view, the comfortable amenities, and especially the excellent communication throughout our stay. Calister went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly — from helping us find the right ingredients for our meals to organizing transport for our outings. She was always available and on top of everything. Amazing service! We had a great experience and truly appreciated the care and attention. Thanks again!

Villa Forodhani: A charming ocean front palazzo
Absolutely amazing way to start our vacation throughout Eastern and Southern Africa. The Villa was huge and had so many hidden gems, like the pool and garden area. I felt very safe as a female traveler with the 24/7 security guard, the security systems, and the frequent communication with Raphael. The place immediately felt like home and the rooms were nice and cool. The best part though was the location— it was in the heart of Stone Town which made every activity we did so much easier. Thank you for a great stay! I want to return soon to Zanzibar just for this Villa!

Ina et Msuli sont des hôtes très agréables, prévenants et disponibles pour faciliter le séjour. Toujours de bon conseil, ils nous ont aidé à organiser nos activités en nous proposant des personnes de confiance, notamment lorsque l'un de nous a été malade. La maison est agréable et les personnes employées sont charmantes, toujours prêtes à rendre service. Un excellent séjour !

Solymar Villa 2
We stayed in 3 different Resorts in Zanzibar but this house one of our favorite places to stay , my kids enjoyed the pool,beautiful views , great staffs , very clean , definitely we will come back!!

Ocean view Nakupenda Villa,with pool
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.

Beachfront private villa with infinity pool
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Masai Mara! The villa looks exactly like the photos—if not better in real life. The location is unbeatable, right on a stunning beach with breathtaking sea views. One of the standout aspects is the dedicated staff, all included with the stay. They were incredibly attentive, always ready to help with a cheerful "yes" to any request. This level of hospitality truly made a difference. The host was also exceptionally responsive, accommodating every request quickly and efficiently. The property could use a bit of maintenance, but it’s nothing that detracted from the overall experience. The villa and its location are simply amazing, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended!

VillaPolaZanzibar
one of the most beautiful houses in Zanzibar, a great location to enjoy the holidays, Maciek is a great host with his team we truly got to enjoy Zanzibar, will surely visit again

Kena Beach Villas (Two Villas)
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.

Mikoko Villa
If you’re looking for a place that combines tranquility, art, and warm hospitality while keeping you close to the action, this is it. This is the one & I’ll definitely be back special thanks to the staff here. they are incredibly friendly, informative, and always eager to help, making the stay even more special. Chef Ahmed’s food is nothing short of mouthwatering.

We call it home - Kiwengwa Villa
Sure! How about this: “I had a fantastic experience at your property. Everything was just right, and I felt so at home. Thank you for being such a wonderful host!” Does that work for you?

Magic Beach Villa
Our 2 families (10 persons) had a great time and stay in this house over Christmas. This house doesn't have any AC but the fans do a pretty good job. Nice deep pool which was of great use as the tide and seaweed has big influence on the beach just outside . Along the shore there are couple of cozy restaurants. Be caution and aware of palm trees with coconuts that can fall down from the neighbor plots. Housekeeper Hidaya was great and so friendly, she helped with cleaning and cooking.

ST Beach Villa
Mohammed and staff were very accommodating during our stay. If you are looking for a location that’s centrally located because you want to explore the island then this is great. It’s also easy access to stone town without being directly in stone town. Villa was as advertised and the daily Swahili breakfast was an unexpected nice surprise. I’d go back.

Mchaichai Villa- Private Villa with pool
Nous avons passe un sejour magnifique ! La residence est calme et tres bien entretenu ! Carol a été très serviable meme si elle netait pas la pour nous accueillir le personnel est vraiment tres sympa et toujours présent pour nous faire découvrir les lieux 😊

Tamani Villas (5-bedroom villa)
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.

Private Nature Villa Kidoti - Solomon of Zanzibar
Our stay at the villa in the heart of Kidoti was truly unforgettable! The serene surroundings and beautifully designed minimalistic space made for a unique and relaxing experience. Mama Sulay was an incredible host, always available to provide helpful local tips, and the chef was one of the kindest people we met on our trip, his breakfasts were absolutely delicious! The villa blends seamlessly with nature, offering an open and airy feel. As a heads-up for future guests, the main villa is within the same garden and pool area as the host’s home, so while the setting is peaceful, those seeking complete privacy should take this into account. Additionally, since the villa is designed to be in harmony with nature, there are no glass windows, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs for added comfort. Overall, it was an amazing stay, and we highly recommend it to those looking for an authentic and tranquil getaway in Zanzibar!

Villa Kobe - Private pool on the beach
We just had an incredible stay at this beachfront villa in Zanzibar. It an incredibly beautiful location, and the house is spacious and clean. The real star of the property, beside the gorgeous beach is the staff. From the management agency, to the house manager Sule, to Tatu our housekeeper and Fabio the most friendly and warm Maasai guard- everyone made my daughter and I feel right at home. We hired a fantastic chef, Robinson through the agency and he made the best food at our request every day and the cost was reasonable. This is a must book for a peaceful vacation in Zanzibar away from the commercial hotel scene. Thank you Paolo for hosting us!

Oysterbay Luxurious Villa Adjacent to Coco Beach
