“I don’t think there’s a better place to stay in Pingwe. This place has the most dreamy views you’ll ever experience in Zanzibar. The staff is impeccable! The bed and breakfast was just perfect. Honestly, everything in me wants to gate keep this place! I’d also want to share more but I also don’t want to give away too much to maintain the pleasant element of surprise. Please, trust your gut like I did and book. Best decision I’ve ever made on a hotel. ”

“Lovely little hotel with individuell rooms and a restaurant bar right at the beach. We had one of the rooms with a spacious balcony, where you have stunning views of the ocean. Pia & Hashim are great hosts who let you feel like home, always friendly and willing to help you with everything. Their cute dog Leo & their cat complete the family. Easy going locals around and with their free bikes or canoes you can explore other areas at the beach. The food & drinks at the restaurant are delicious,...

“Ottima struttura per visitare e godersi la costa est di Zanzibar. Camere essenziali ma confortevoli, pulite e moderne. Staff super, Roberta e i colleghi ti fanno sentire davvero a casa. Il ristorante davvero ottimo sia per le colazioni sia per i pasti. Per chi cerca un’oasi di pace diversa dai classici resort (per vivere l’atmosfera di Zanzibar in modo più autentico) e della buona ospitalità (e cucina) italiana sicuramente è il posto giusto! Super consigliato! ”

“Our flight was delayed therefore arrived a day late. I emailed 'Jamilah' owner of hotel once had WiFi access. Jamilah the owner was considerate as she responded with 'no problem' (Hakuna Matata, (Swahilli). Once we arrived, we were taken to a small and very clean room, but without a fridge or long mirror. I had a word with Jamilah and she assured me that she would sort a fridge and long mirror for us. By the end of the evening a fridge and a mirror arrived. I was so grateful as Jamilah went...

“Charmante maison du début 1900.mobilier art déco et ou l art primitif africain s y mélange .pas loin du centre ville et face a un beau parc donc a l écart du bruit du centre ville a proximité.
Petit déjeuner délicieux donc un rapport qualité prix dans cette ville touristique et assez chère.”

“Veldig fornøyd. Fin beliggenhet i Stonetown om enn litt i "enden", nært havna. Men fine rom, koselig takterasse og veldig stort pluss med basseng for gutta.”

“Adelina was a great host - It was my husbands birthday (&& i wasn't able to be present), she was very helpful with surprising him and making his birthday successful . She was also helpful with transportation and accommodating our needs . The place was clean and looked just like the picture presented . ”

“I stayed here one night after landing in stone town.
Perfect spot to nap on and off to get through the jet lag and be right in the heart of stone town. Extremely walkable to sites. The rooms are spacious, excellent shower and super comfy bed. Very clean and was just what I was looking for.
Please note that it was a bit difficult to find. The taxi just dropped me off on the main road because cars can’t access the small streets. Once you know where it is, it’s super simple to return to”

“Excellent location with a close walk to the beach and restaurants etc. Room was clean and great value for money. Staff were helpful, brought us a hairdryer when we needed it and breakfast was plentiful! A great little place to stay. ”

“Safari House had plenty of space for our family of five. While not in the heart of Stone Town, it wasn't a far walk (10 min) to get there. Romaine, our host, was quite accommodating. The power and water shut off in the morning and he was over immediately to fix it (we didn't realize it was on a timer and was an easy fix). He also allowed us to store our luggage there after checkout time while we went out for a bit before our flight home. ”

“Friendly staff, clean rooms, pool with good upkeep and generally tidy grounds. Can't really complain about anything major. Even if it's not exactly 5-star accommodation they are making a good effort to cater to the needs of westerners. The restaurant has plenty of ambience and again the staff is friendly but the service is slow (this is endemic in Zanzibar though) and the breakfast selection is quite basic.
The biggest knock is not their fault. The location is a good 15 minute walk from the...

"The restaurant is very dismal. They only allow food on the second floor which makes it very restricted on seating etc. Some staff are clearly not interested in serving guests. There's very restricted option on drinks (non-alcoholic). In the breakfast there's no orange juice. Food itself is ok. The lighting in the second floor is really not for a dinner environment. It feels really like a mess-hall for a dinner. They need to open the first floor so people can sit on the patio area on the bar to eat etc. What is up with the restriction? The after drinks can also be served directly from the bar so employees don't have to walk up and down for a glass of wine etc.
Don't miss out on the movie nights on the beach. This was my personal highlight of the stay, and also the room service convenience (albeit no real options of food). The beach itself isn't really nice to swim (the sand is too muddy, but locals had no issues, also they recommend not to walk barefoot on the sand --> theres' some type of spikes around (natural?) the beach area.
Do not stay on Sunday nights here as the neighboring hotel will blast music till 0100 am. The staff even hate this, but the management obviously have given up on this issue. (Wednesdays too)
Try to get a second floor room or a first floor room away from the stairways. You just get more privacy. Swimming in the pool just 1 hour before sunset is the best time. No one around and quiet. There was a lot of breeze during our stay. "
