I am a solo female traveller. Zanzibar House is an excellent property in so many ways. The staff are friendly and helpful. The grounds are a delight to be in, with lots of comfortable places to sit and read or contemplate the beauty of the area. I did not use the pool and I am sure it would be lovely. At night time I had an evening meal which was tasty and they accommodated my dietary requirements very well. I am gluten intolerant. I recommend this hotel if you like quiet and beauty filled places

Beautiful place; nice and helpful owners, tasty food. The beach is peaceful...but fyi, has serious tides and seaweed. But there are a few lovely spots to float around at. It is an easy day trip to other more swim-happy beaches and about an hour to Stonetown. This is a place to go an relax. But options through hotel or beach dudes are plentiful if you want activities.

Beautiful hotel with 7 rooms right at the beach. Very calm area and not many tourists at the beach (gets cleaned everyday). Food is delicious, for $15 you get a 4 course dinner menu. At the bar you get good shisha too. The staff is nice and very helpful. Massage was great. Wifi was availabe everywhere (room, restaurant, beach). You can pay in Eur, Usd, Tsh, credit card.

ザンジバル島にのんびり滞在し、休日をゆったり過ごしたいなら絶対に満足すること間違いなし。ディナーのメインは、その日にとれた魚。シンプルな焼き魚がとても美味しかった!オーナーの優しさが伝わってくるホテルでした。

We stayed in 5 hotels while making our way around Zanzibar and really enjoyed 4 of them. Of the 4, this one really was the best, a cut above in every respect -- fantastic atmosphere, gorgeous property, great management and staff. As you drive down the horrible dirt road that leads from the highway to the property, you'll think you must have made a wrong turn. But you haven't -- keep going.

Kelly • Family Trip

The whole place is amazing. Unlike the 50+room hotels this is a smaller establishment which adds to the peaceful beach front atmosphere. It's in a great location to go south for a day trip to the spice farms, caves, or fishing communities. Or go North to Membe Island for diving/ snorkling or Nungwi for a big party. Extremely warm artistic decor and the food was fantastic.

Zanzibar House is an exceptional place and a beautiful experience. Georgia treated me like family from the moment I arrived. The location is inspirational, meditative and a place to disconnect from the stresses of the world. Thank you.

This little gem is the perfect place to relax and just let this lovely Italian family spoil you. We stayed for a whole weekend, and enjoyed every single minute of it. From the lovely breakfast in the morning to the fantastic 4 course diner in the evening, everything was just perfect, and prepared with great love and thoughtfullness. From our arrivel till we left, we felt like a part of this lovely family, being invited in to their home. We WILL be back!!!!!!

I have been to many countries, and the stay here was my son's favorite vacation! We had a room with ocean veiw, worth every penny! the beauty of the island greeted us every morning. The owners were exceptionally accommodating. They made sure the kids were happyily fed each night and made alternate meals to their liking Every morning we had a wonderful breakfast which is a set menu that included pancakes, crepes, and homemade doughnuts!!! Each evening was a culinary exploration of 4 course Italian meals of local fish and seafood, fresh beef, homemade breads, homemade pastas and local vegetables. You could also order something more to your liking and they will acoomodate you to their best. ( The Half board option is more than worth the deal especially since the hotel is not close to any restaurants. Guests from other hotels along the beach would regular Zanzibar House for lunch and Massages!) The staff are very friendly. The massages are AWESOME with the beach right in front of you! The ocean there is beautiful and is worth a swim. There is a turn down service everynight which includes fresh towels if you need them, bottled water, and spraying and arranging of your mosquito net for your health and safety. (The spray is very mild and did not trigger my allergies). We had a VERY early flight on our departure and they made sure we had some homemade doughnuts for the boys! My son and I were very reluctant to leave. THANK YOU ZANZIBAR HOUSE. WE WILL BE BACK!

Zanzibar House er en liten oase på stranden. 7 koselige rom alle med terrasse 2 mot palmelunden og 5 med havutsikt. Her jobber alle de ansatte for at du skal ha det bra - skal du bo her bør du ta halvpensjon som inbefatter frokost, kaffe med italienske småkaker klokken 16.30. Snack ( pizza) klokken 19 og 4 retters middag klokken 20. Hver dag får du spørsmål om menyen passer deg og hvis ikke bytter de gjerne en eller flere av rettene slik at det passer deg. Hotellet ligger rett på en vidunderlig strand beskyttet av flere koralrev- ta med dykkermaske og svømmeføtter hvis du vil se tropiske fisk ! På stranden finner du også Mustafa og hans folk - det er lokale gutter fra fiskerlandsbyen like ved som prøver å bringe inn penger til landsbyen.Vi brukte dem når vi skulle på tur til Atollen for å snorkle - en tur som du MÅ ta hvis du er her som å dykke i ett akvarie med nydelige fisker overalt.Hotellet har bar og en liten suvenirbutikk - men ta med deg det du mener du trenger på rommet av snacks og sjokolade etc da det ikke er noen butikk i nærheten. Synes du det hele blir litt stillesittende kan du låne sykler og sykle på stranden ( men husk og både dra ut og komme tilbake imens det er lavvann. De italienske eierene er der alltid og gjør sitt ytterste for at du skal ha det bra. Skal du slappe av en uke på en nydelig azurblå eksotisk strand, er dette stedet

Zanzibar House is a paradise. The hotel is beautiful and immaculately clean. From arrival to departure the owners and their staff are available at all times. The pool and beach area feel like your own little slice of heaven. The evening meals are a real treat as well. They are served Italian style (4 courses) and are homemade from scratch. Its like dining in Rome with a beautiful beach backdrop. The only thing you should be aware of is that this place is very remote from other hotels and restaurants. It was perfect for us because we wanted rest and relaxation. If you want a party, look somewhere else.

Abbiamo scoperto casualmente questa piccola guest house, immersa nel verde dei palmeti e con vista fronte mare. Siamo stati accolti con molta cortesia e ospitalità dai proprietari, Massi e Miria e fin da subito abbiamo respirato un'aria famliare, che ci ha accompagnato per tutto il soggiorno. Siamo stati coccolati e ogni sera deliziati con eccellenti piatti di pesce, tra cui delle fettuccine (fatte in casa) al granchio, gnocchi di pesce e tanti altri piatti preparati con la massima cura. Lo staff è sempre stato pieno di attenzioni e premure, ineccepibile. E' poi assolutamente piacevole la posizione di grande tranquillità ed è stato bello anche osservare l'alternarsi della bassa e dell'alta marea. Ci siamo rigenerati nel corpo e nello spirito.

My remarks and observations in the overall, hotel service and condition categories as well room comfort and cleanliness are based on a hard working couple's way of training and creating jobs for young people in hotel work and service(bed prep and floor cleaning as well as towel service and for a 5 star cooking presentation and quality in the evening dinner experience).The room comfort included mosquito nets in each room and bed prepared and pulled back everyday...cleanliness and comfort and neiborhood(included sweeping all the floor spaces everyday whether it was sweeping up the white small grains of sand or redoing clean artistic bed covering beauty.
