Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Zanzibar Archipelago

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.

I had a pleasant stay at Leah's place. Her family has been very supportive, the place is safe to play around with children and lastly, what I have loved the most is the flexible check in and out times. Its a great place away from home🔥

Benard is truly a Superhost! From the moment i arrived, he made feel welcome and ensured i had everything needed for a comfortable stay. His attention to detail, communication, and hospitality were exceptional. The space was spotless and well-equipped, and his thoughtful touches made all the difference.

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 😍

the (3) apartments are nicely located on a private fenced property with a (masai) security at night. hosts are very friendly and willing to help with whatever you need. as it is a little community you are likely to interact with the 2 other apartments when occupied. we had very nice neighbours with whom we spent some nice evenings. You should be aware that the apartments do not have airconditioning so in the two hot months of January and February it can become very warm in the apartments with only a ceiling fan. But we had a very nice and welcoming stay here.

The 1bedroom unit is great , exactly like pictures, a good location, and easily accessible by buses, bajaji and taxi, Abdulkadir was a wonderful host—he gave us breakfast and arranged rides to and from Nungwi for a small fee. I would definitely recommend

Second time staying here as first time Hamid was helpful and communicative. Really love this place as it’s clean and everything works exceptionally well and there’s lots of amenities that make it feel like home. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful place again and if I’m ever in Stone Town I will definitely return to your place.

Exceptional stay! The house is tastefully decorated and perfectly located just steps away from the beach. Quiet, clean, comfortable, with everything you need to feel at home. The host was available, warm and very professional. A real slice of heaven in Zanzibar. I will come back without hesitation!

We stayed at Eta's Airbnb last year and came back again because we liked it so much!!! The A/C in the bedrooms is great, I love the location, the decor and little extras are thoughtful and we love that the suite is on the main floor. The only downside this year was, the neighbours upstairs were louder than last year with a screaming toddler who was often up by 5:00 am. The master bedroom had windows facing the courtyard and it was very loud. I would still stay at this suite again though!!! Thanks Romain and Eta... see you next year!!!

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!

This is my second stay and i really appreciate the way she maitained the apartment. Its very cosy, very clean, well decorated and still great value for money. Radegunda was responsive and considerate, to ensure we have a comfortable time at her place. I would always recommend it to anyone visiting Bagamoyo for work or need a quiet weekend away.

We had an amazing time at Liza’s villa! It’s a very beautiful house, especially the pool area and the rooftop. Liza provided a lot of information about the house and the area beforehand, which was appreciated.

Zoe was an amazing host and really helpful with providing recommendations on where to eat and what to see on the island. Zoe was also very quick with her responses which made our stay at Zanzibar stress free. The property was spacious, with the showers having good water pressure and the beds being covered in mosquito nets. We had rented a car and we were able to park the car safely inside the gate. Overall we would definitely recommend Zoe as a host and her property as a great place to stay!

We had a lovely stay at Miriam’s house, a well equipped kitchen and a grill, very quiet and peaceful area! Tausi helped us arrange seafood, and cleaning the house when needed. It has a a nice beach strip where you can also see some local fishermen fishing. We enjoyed our time there.

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.

Riz is a gem! We absolutely loved our stay in his apartment. Very spacious various balconies and spotless clean! What stood out the most was the communication between Riz and me. Whenever we needed something he was right on to help us out. Even brought us some welcome surprises. Thank you Riz and the team for hosting us. Asante Sana 🙏

We spent two nights at Abdallah's, the apartment is clean and functional, ideally located very close to the small narrow streets of Stone Town that lead to the seaside in 8mn walk. We were welcomed very generously and Abdallah would answer all our questions whenever we needed them. Great for discovering Stone Town and its riches, thanks again!

Felt at home and more! Great property, good communication, spotless and very clean and most of all a great host! Thank you Valentin and Denisa! We’ll be back very soon.

I liked the place and will either go back there again and even recommend to friends.
