It is such a pretty villa, the room was really nicely designed, huge room, huge bathroom, it even had a terrace with everything you would need to cook, kitchen utensils, condiments, fridge. They even offered me water for all the stay. There was hot water for shower, wi-fi worked perfectly. The pool was amazing, the yard very pretty. Staff was always smiling and verg nice. I loved the music everyday. Breakfast was amazing and huge and the other food they served was delicious, they had the best food i ate on the island. Also, fruit juices veeery good.

Nungwi
Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ♡ THANKS TO THE FANTASTIC CARE OF THE OWNERS COLLIN AND LESLEY WE FELT LIKE FAMILY. FOOD PREPARED WITH LOVE REALLY TASTES GREAT. A TWO-COURSE BREAKFAST WITH PANCAKES WITH FRESH TROPICAL FRUIT, AND AS A SECOND COURSE YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF OMELETTES, EGGS, SAUSAGES, ETC., WILL FILL YOU WITH ENERGY FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT DINNER OF FRESH FISH OR CHICKEN. IT'S A QUIET PLACE WHICH REALLY IMPRESSED US WITHOUT BEACHBOYS AND MASSAI TO HURRY YOU ON THE BEACH. IN THE NEARBY, YOU CAN VISIT BUSY PLACES AND SUBMERGE INTO THE MIX OF NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT, BUT THEN YOU RETURN TO AN OASIS OF CALM, WHERE YOU ONLY HEAR THE RHYTHMIC SOUND OF THE OCEAN, WHICH WILL SLEEP YOU BEAUTIFULLY. WE ARE IN ZANZIBAR FOR THE THIRD TIME AND WE ARE GLAD THIS ACCOMMODATION DOES NOT ALLOW SEX TOURISM. THE ADVANTAGE IS ALSO THE SWIMMING POOL WITH CLEAN WATER, WHICH YOU WILL ENJOY USING AT LOW TIDE TIME. IT'S A Pity THAT WE ONLY BOOKED 2 NIGHTS. WE WILL DEFINITELY STAY LONGER NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU.

I did a huge amount of research before booking this particular property and we were not disappointed at all. It is NOT like staying in a hotel, it is more like being invited to stay at a family house with friends who have exceptional staff providing for you and them. Maxi and Milia are Italian and their home reflects this, as well as their approach with guests, and we found them to be excellent hosts, who will chat with you and help you any way they can in a way I have never experienced in a 'brand' hotel, ever. One of the reviews I saw suggested that Italian guests were better treated - we are English and were treated wonderfully, by absolutely everyone. Another review said the food service was slow because they were not guests of the property, they are completely missing the point, and the style of Zanzibar. I cannot recommend this property enough. The hosts and staff provide a (much quieter than average) place to stay in Zanzibar where you can do as little as you wish, or as much as you want, because your hosts will gladly organise trips with their drivers and cars like they did for us.

Pingwe
Bibi Mrembo Guesthouse is a beachfront property situated in Pingwe, a few steps from Michamvi Pingwe Beach and 24 km from Jozani Forest. The property has sea views. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. Wonderful host Carol. Right on the beach. Shared shower and toilet etc but the host makes up for everything if this might put you off. Try this place please. This is for back packers I guess but everyone should experience a place like this. You don't often get the chance to stay in a lovingly decorated and maintained property with a host whose authenticity and honesty shines through everything. And we only stayed ONE NIGHT!! I wish we could have stayed longer but we had other plans. As we waited for the taxi to arrive to leave, she made tea for us and gave us a home made pineapple ice lolly! What more could you want!!??

This house is one of the cleanest place I have ever been. The stuff were super kind and helpful. They were always around when you need. The house looks exactly what I it is on the picture. Basically couple of steps to the ocean, the sun rises view is astonishing. You have ac , hot water.. also communication is great. Thank you everyone for a great hosting.
Clean and presentable. Expensive accomodation Renovations happening - lots of dust Too many hawkers around the hotel Busy with locals on the beach front
Best place in Nungwi to stay and to eat . Realy great host Margo who sorted all our problems within seconds. Would recomend 100%. Breakfast super good, staff great, attentive, friendly. Best service. Also great beach very close by with the most amazing sunsets.
Breakfast (and the restaurant in general) was very nice, good food, nice decor. The pool area was nice too, and location right on the beach was perfect! I would stay there again! The room I had (garden suite) was quite small and dark and basically just has space for the bed. The other rooms seemed much nicer, so might be worth upgrading.
The Italian man @ the reception, what a gem! Give the man a goddamn raise! People like him increase customer satisfaction 10× which in turn generates good reviews and more customers. The city introduction he gave me was imbeccable and invaluable. He's reception in general made me feel at home and satisfied with the place. Stone town house in itself is a great Hostel.
The staff is amazing. Food at the restaurant is good. Rooftop is nice. Location is right in the middle of Stone Town. This hotel allows you to be a part of the city without being contaminated by tourism. I recommend the hotel if you want to breath the local culture and encounter locals. 2/3 nights is enough. Not recommended if you are looking for a European fancy beach with 5 stars service and no contact with local culture.
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!
