Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Tanzania

Great stay at Arsheen's. Super responsive host, central location, and a nice extra to have pick up included. Mushtaq was very helpful with check in and check out.

A gorgeous gem of a place located a minute walk to the beach, yet tucked away from the hustle & bustle. This place really offered a sense of serenity nestled away… The apartment was spacious with an open plan kitchen, dining area, and veranda where you can sometimes see the kites flying, and was a great place to chill with friends. The dogs are adorable and made the place feel like home. With so many activities in Paje this place was a miracle find to be so central to all the tours and sports on the island 🏝️. Thank you 🙏

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.

This is a fantastic place to stay! Saidi was excellent with communication. The area is fantastic to relax and he was so helpful with checkout and very reliable. My favorite stay in Zanzibar 😍

It's got all you need. Great host, great location, convenient. I'll be back.

Great location with restaurants and markets nearby. Walking distance to airport. I felt very welcomed, had a good privacy I wanted and all I asked was delivered. Thank you

I had a great time staying at Adams Place with my family. The location is perfect- easy to get into the town and up to the beaches and lots of stores and restaurants, very walkable. The ACs in the rooms worked great, and Adam made it easy to top up electricity when we needed it. There was a bit of an issue because there was only one set of keys but that seems like a pretty fixable problem. Overall, great stay!

Steven is a good host, always communicative and responsive. The house is clean and safe place to stay.

Everything is spotless, but since it is near the mosque, there is a lot of noise at dawn, and it is very inconvenient to enter on a dirt road. Excluding this, it's a great place to stay.

Fukuchani Inn is wonderful - the staff is pleasant, kind, and very willing to help with whatever you might need. Everyone was friendly and we had a wonderful stay. The Inn is right near the ocean, a quick little walk to a beautiful (albeit rocky) beach, and it's very close (about 15 mins) from Nungwi beach. And the pool is lovely! We stayed in the 2-bedroom Villa and it was perfect for my family, plenty of space and very clean. And of course I have to mention Daisy, the basset hound!! Such a friendly and good girl :) We would love to come back one day - overall, great stay :) Friendly reminder to travelers, Tanzania and Zanzibar often have power outages, and this includes A/C - but they only lasted a few mins each time, and the staff aims to provide as comfortable a stay as possible.

The hosts were really amazing and went out of their way to make our stay in Kijivu 1 in Njiro pleasant. They let us check in early and check out late- helped with a driver, were very responsive, etc. overall a great place to stay- we were there a month and were quite comfortable. The house is in a fairly busy area which makes it easy to walk to supermarket and some restaurants but it’s also a bit noisy at night on some weekends. We did get used to this as time went on. We will return!!!

We absolutely loved our weekend at David's place! It may hands down be our favourite spot in Zanzibar, where you are surrounded by a tropical jungle with a beautiful view of the ocean. The swimming pool was incredible. My husband and I, together with our kids had a great time! The chef, Ezekiel, and all of the supporting staff were amazing as well. They gave us just enough privacy but were somehow still there when we needed services. We rented the villa for my husband's birthday and so on day 1 we invited a few friends over. David and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our guests were well taken care of also.

My partner and I absolutely loved our stay! The accommodation was clean, modern, and had all the appliances we needed. We were looking for a quiet place and this was it. We basically had the pool to ourselves and Julie was on hand to answer our many questions at the onset. She even provided the first breakfast as well as a huge watermelon and bananas, which was much appreciated. The guards made us feel extra safe, even though it's a very safe area already, and sometimes we got a visit at the pool from the nearby cat or dog, which as animal people we loved. We will most certainly be returning! What a little paradise. (PS Being able to arrange a lift from and to the airport was also really handy.) Thank you so much for a beautiful work-cation/holiday!

Very nice and peaceful stay with favourable pricing.

Angella was very responsive, and teh housekeeper was avaialble through out our stay. She was even so kind as to take us to the market. I would definitely stay there again. The access road from the main road, though relatively short, was however very bad - that being the only negative aspect.

My sons and I had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed to cook while we were there. Deborah was not in town, but her wonderful grandmother -who is also the cohost -was responsive and kind. The home was in a quiet neighborhood. We used bajajis for our mode of transportation while were there and were able to reach major shops within 10-20 minutes. One thing to note is that the home is part of a shared compound. It didn’t impact my stay too much, but for someone who is looking for a completely private stay this should be noted. Overall, we had a great experience and I’d definitely stay again! Wonderful experience in a beautifully well kept compound.

I really enjoyed staying at Leah’s place. Everything was as described: the apartment was very clean and nicely decorated, with a comfy bed and nice kitchen for cooking meals. The WiFi worked well for my online meetings. The area was green and peaceful, and people were very friendly. The location was perfect for me to visit my project. Be aware that it’s not actually in USA River. It is further down the road in Maji ya Chai village. There are small shops within walking distance. Leah is a lovely host and responded quickly and positively to any requests I had. I will definitely return to Leah’s place.

Garder’s Place offers a serene and tranquil environment, perfect for a peaceful stay. The privacy it provides allows guests to fully relax and enjoy their surroundings. Additionally, it is both affordable and cost-effective. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet and pleasant retreat.

Mamdali is a great host of helpful , always trying to provide the information and any help possible. it was a great time for me in Zanzibar 🙏♥️

I can only recommend the place, from communication to booking, to transportation from the airport to the welcome and accommodation to the apartment, we were happy with everything. The family apartment provides plenty of space and excellent cooking facilities. The beds are very comfortable and the terrace is superbly adapted to relax in privacy thanks to the grown beautifully blooming bushes. Next, the generous breakfast included and 2 pools, at least one of which we had to ourselves at any time. The area is very well maintained, the pools are clean and the surroundings of the apartments are cared for. It's about a 5-minute walk to the beach, as well as the beginning of the village, where you can shop for everything you need, and also observe the local life while walking. Thank you so much to the owners and the entire staff for a great stay.

The place was perfect for what we needed. Great pricing and value for what you get. Very homey and comfortable. Will stay here again !

The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.The location was perfect, allowing me to explore the vibrant city with ease. What stood out was Sophia's kindness and attentiveness , always ensuring I had the best experience. I highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Dar es salaam.Thank you for making my trip easy truly felt at home.Thank you.

I am very thankful for the time I could spend at the embassy appartment. It was a very nice environment, the land lady was very helpful in everything and I am just looking forward to my next stay with the embassy appartment. The location is also nice and developping around, you can have nice local food next to you. The appartment was nice, it had also solar, what made it easy to work remote & the wireless was also enough strong. All in All very very happy and a little bit sad to leave. See you next time! Best, Cem

Best Lodging in Lushoto!! A very nice home with all the comforts... all to ourselves. Views of the valley, balcony, hot shower, kitchen, and large spaces. The owner is a very kind person and always ready to help. The location is perfect. We were worried it was too central, or too far from the center. This house is located away from the chaos surrounded by nature, but a 5-minute walk from the village of Lushoto!! Important: on the site it says that it is 2km from the village... but there is a small downhill street that crosses a school and two homes, which will allow you to reach the village in 5/7 minutes! Everything is really perfect! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
