Sehr freundliches Personal. Sie haben sich sehr bemüht und haben täglich Zimmerservice angeboten. Die Räume waren auch sehr sauber. Preis-Leistung stimmt. 5 Minuten zu Fuss zum Strand. Genug Essmöglichkeiten zu Fuss in der Umgebung. Manchmal waren Affen auf den Bäumen, über die wir uns gefreut haben. Ich würde gerne wieder kommen.

In der Nacht kann es ein wenig laut sein, da es gleich an der Hauptstrasse liegt. Auf der Insel gibt es generell viele Stromausfälle. Sie haben uns gesagt, dass sie vielleicht bald einen Generator bringen werden. Dann würde ich der Unterkunft 100 von 100 Punkten geben.

A equipa que nos recebeu foi absolutamente fantástica. Todos eles nos fizeram sentir em casa... Uma enorme simpatia que nos ajudou nuns dias super bem passados. O chef de cozinha preparou pratos ótimos para nós... O local fica muito perto da praia.

A única coisa que não apreciamos foi ficar sem água Sempre que faltava a luz e isso aconteceu todos os dias... Mas após nos terem mudado para a casa do rés do chão, tudo melhorou e muito. É uma pena que o dono do alojamento não invista num gerador... Faria mesmo toda a diferença.

We’ve stayed in several hotels and hostels across Zanzibar, and this place truly stands out. The breakfasts are delicious and very generous, everything fresh and nicely prepared. The entire property is spotlessly clean, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you instantly feel comfortable. The staff deserve special praise — extremely friendly, warm, and always helpful. We genuinely felt taken care of throughout our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this place! For this price, there’s absolutely no chance of finding anything better. A perfect spot to stay in Zanzibar!
