The guy who provided us with the key was very timely and friendly. He also helped us with arranging a taxi to the airport and we could leave the luggage in the house after check out time. The house feels very authentic and was nicely decorated. The shower was great. We could live here!

Thanks Roman, who was a great manager to host us. Everything was amazing, the location is perfect only 2 minutes from Luukman. We even got a late checkout for free which was very comfortable. Would book any time again!

The rooms are stunning- spacious and beautiful design. The bed was very comfortable too. The bathtub in the room was a very nice touch. The staff were amazing, always polite and friendly. The restaurant could also accommodate my gluten-free diet for breakfast. This was one of our best hotel experiences ever.

Bawe Island in Zanzibar is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by its serene beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The island, just a short boat ride from the main island of Zanzibar, offers an idyllic escape with its pristine white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical surroundings. The accommodations were nothing short of spectacular. We stayed at a charming beachfront resort where the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel right at home. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the ocean. The highlight of our stay was the island’s natural beauty. The food was also a major standout. Fresh seafood, flavorful local dishes, and a variety of international options were all beautifully prepared. Every meal felt like a celebration of the region’s rich culinary heritage. Bawe Island is a peaceful paradise that offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just a quiet place to unwind, this island is a top choice. It truly exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return!

Mizingani Seafront is pure magic! The authentic Swahili vibe, the stunning views of the beach, ships docking, and boats—it’s beyond words. And the location? Perfect! Everything in Stone Town is just a stroll away. (Whatever you do, do not miss going to the fish market at night) But the best part? I casually mentioned it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a cake and the sweetest staff singing “Happy Birthday” as soon as I walked into my room. (All this was on the house) It was such a beautiful moment! So much love from strangers - I teared up. Really touched my heart. Thank you for making my stay unforgettable, Mizingani Seafront! ❤️

I actually message the landlady on the messenger function and asked for early check-in in the morning instead of the afternoon. she put me in touch with Mansoud and arrange everything for 10 am. It went smoothly. they handed over the keys and told me everything there is to know about the room and the flat. I love the location as it like 30m from Spice hotel and the Jaws terrace restaurant to get breakfast at 8 sud and affordable lunch or dinner. The room is very spacious and clean
