"Great hotel! The room was very clean and spacious and had a fan. We had a very delicious dinner, the cooker was amazing. The staff was very helpfull, we could leave out bags during the day after the checkout."

"Our host, Moussa, is the single most lovely person I've met thus far in Zanzibar. If you're looking for an authentic, non-touristy, excursion, staying at Mama's house is a must. We were greeted with warmth and joy and were made to feel extremely comfortable. The food was great and Moussa even took time out of his day to sit and chat with us. An absolute gem of a place, you won't be disappointed."

"10/10! Amazing house, a piece of paradise. Right on the beach, quiet, but not that far from lovely Paje, it was perfect! The sunrise from the bed and the breakfast on the rooftop are forever on my mind. Super convenient for a large group, we had the best family holidays. We didn’t have to do anything, the amazing staff was cooking breakfast and cleaning every day, and they were super responsive if we needed anything. They also cooked for us some amazing seafood barbecues as an extra for dinner, and helped us book drivers for our day trips and activities. We had couple of time the power going off and they have generator for essentials (such as fan, wifi, lights etc.) Hot water and good water pressure, good wifi and even outside near the pool. We will definitely be back"

"Tulivu house is a quiet and very clean place. The staff are polite, friendly, and always helpful. We had a comfortable and pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it."

"This is an amazing place. The staff is outstanding, always friendly and there to help. The breakfast was delicious. Rooms impeccably cleaned twice per day and super cozy. The kids (and us grown-ups) loved the pool. The beach is less than 2 minutes away I highly recommend Tamu Tamu."

"A friend recommended this place, and it was everything I needed and then some. I booked one night but ended up staying longer. This is a traditional bed and breakfast so I got to share the property with a few other travelers, Witness the property manager and Neema the housekeeping. The homely vibes made my stay even better after a few weeks on the road."

"The property was so so beautiful, clean and organized well! The staff were very friendly and always available! The food is 10/10 and the amenities are just so beautiful and well maintained! Definitely would come back again and even recommend my friends!"

"We had an amazing stay at Chameleon Blue Lodge on the beautiful island of Zanzibar. The location is truly special, surrounded by nature and wildlife, which creates a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. We always felt very safe and welcomed. What makes this place unique is the strong sense of community—you’re not isolated like in many resorts, but genuinely connected with the staff and local culture. The food was excellent, always fresh, with delicious fish, vegetables, and fruit. It’s the perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature, and experience Zanzibar in a more meaningful way. The host was incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive throughout our stay. We highly recommend this lodge and would definitely come back!"

"The staff were very kind and helpful, the pool was perfect after a hot day, and the whole place felt quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommend!"
