Hotel holiday rentals in Zanzibar

Dear Julia, It was a pleasure to stay in hodi hodi. The place was fresh and felt private. It’s on a quit part of the island. Simon was great with the welcoming and arranging everything perfectly. I came to putrefy ! Simon arranged daily fresh coconuts and papaya ! I loved it. Grateful for making it possible. The rooms where fresh and very clean. The towels smelled like fresh flowers. It felt like being alone on on a island ! Good communication, Good accommodation, Good memories ! All fresh and pure ! Loved it ! Thank you for creating this beautiful place ! Many more people will spend a great time at hodi hodi !

I had a smooth time in Zanzibar. This was my first time ever booking on Airbnb and I indeed loved the stay. Ginie, who was the host around was very friendly and assisted a lot during my stay. It is a walking distance from the Ferry and safe to walk balk home from the main road even after a night out. Loved every detail of it and look forward to staying there again after Ramadhan when I visit Zanzibar.

My stay here was great. It's a walking distance to the Kuza caves. It's on the beach and the pool is heated, so you can swim at night. Loved the sea view from the room. The breakfast is awesome too, with a variety. Overall it's a very good place I'd highly recommend.

Location: It’s at the other end of the “famous” Nungwi walk, having said that it’s also perfectly close to the beach and less crowded. The hotel itself is beautiful well equipped beautiful pool and THE BATHROOM is gorgeous. The breakfast is fantastic and sooo delicious and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Thank you for hosting us.

Zanzistar is a very beautifully styled small guesthouse - very colourful and tropical in the day, and candlelit and very atmospheric in the evening. The rooms in the family house are similarly gorgeously designed and are spacious and very clean - Zanzistar is such an aesthetically pleasing place to stay! Fleur and her team are very personable and hugely helpful in every matter, and the food and drinks are some of the best we had in Zanzibar. Jambiani itself is an incredibly idyllic beach and much quieter than other parts of Zanzibar - in short a wonderful place to stay if you wish to be further off the tourist trail!

Highly recommend this place. Rooms are very nice and clean. Breakfast is good and the staff is the best especially Sophia makes everything for the guests. And I love to have a pool.

This is a lovely and peaceful place on the beautiful beach of Matemwe. Jamal and the staff were all very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The hotel has a generator which is indispensable because there are daily power outages in Zanzibar. The A/C in the room was great also. The only difficulty I had was with the WiFi which worked only at the restaurant. I would love to return again!

Great place, friendly staff and host. Would come again and you should too

It was a magical stay from the minute we arrived under a full moon. An excellent, kind & caring team, especially with the children. Namaste. Ashante 🫶🏿🇹🇿🏝️🌈 🌕 💫

It’s a beautiful place with very friendly staff. We had a great time there.

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time at Gaia for our honeymoon. We were welcomed by her incredible staff and they even set up beautiful swan towels and roses on the bed for us. The villa was beautiful and very private. And I can’t stress enough how amazing all of the staff were. Breakfast was delicious as well and the host was so responsive to us with recommendations. We stayed at a much larger (and more expensive) resort in Zanzibar before this and we thought Gaia was so much more enjoyable. Very close to the beach as well. Highly recommend!

The room we had was quite warm as the ventilation was not good. When we inquired from the staff if a better ventilated room might be available they told us we needed to contact Elena. They could make no changes without her approval. I knew Elena was out of the country due to a family situation. I messaged her but did not expect a response and accepted the situation without complaint. We did not ask for air conditioning, simply inquired if a different room might be available. So keep this in mind that you may find the temperature uncomfortable.

outstanding, we had the unit with a private pool. totally as described. large bedroom. the food was the star here, unique flavours, generous portions, and vast choice, all cooked to order and fresh, The best meals we had on Zanzibar served on the roof terrace. we had a hire care but can be done by taxi etc. Kendwa is a great resort, ten minute walk from downhill from peanut to the beach front, taxi back about £3. Made was a perfect host and a very talented lady, art studio on site..

Wow it’s hard to put into words how tranquil and amazing this place truly is, from the very first I moment I felt an overwhelming radiance of peace flowing through my body, from the staff to the beautiful scenery everything was amazing and I highly recommend, Asante for the amazing experience and if you are reading this review this is your sign to go ahead and book as I believe all can enjoy.

Right on the beach with a pool warmer than most showers. Close enough to all other restaurants and points of interest. The don’t serve alcohol which is fairly common in the area, but you only have to walk 100m to find a cold one. Breakfast is typical African/Indian breakfast. Don’t expect an English style.
