Very good stay experience. Our flight arrived in the morning, but they could check us in if there were rooms available. At the same time, the hotel provides reliable laundry service, which can be completed 24 hours a day. The location of the accommodation is also very good, very close to the beach and pier. The two receptionists at the accommodation are very friendly and will answer any questions patiently. The air conditioning in the room was good enough which is important in the hot summer. The sanitary conditions of the room are also very good, the bathroom and toilet are clean, and the bedding is also very clean.

It was wonderful being able to spend nights in an authentically traditional building with traditional rooms and furniture. It was an excellent way to explore the traditional architecture and decoration of old Zanzibar. The location is perfect. Just behind the famous praying temple and just 5 minutes to the water shores. The owner is very friendly and always eager to make your stay comfortable. The price is reasonable given the excellent location and the traditional environment. This place is a must!

It’s very close to the airport so great the night before a flight. It’s in a secluded area but very nice rooms. Staff are great and help you find the location and book a taxi at the right time.
