Guest reviews for Dragonfly
"You can tell that the owner put a lot of love and attention to every detail, the attention is extremly good to the point that they meke you feel at home. For this price is the best that you can get."
"Although it's very close to the beach (about 300 meters), it feels a bit far, especially at night when you have to walk along dark, unpaved paths. But that's just how Zanzibar's infrastructure is."
"I loved their location just by the road very accessible. Very friendly staff. Very clean 10/10 recommend ."
"Aucun."
"The breakfast was included and was amazing! It also was so close to the beach and just a quick 5 minute walk. They also have a partnership with another place located in the beach where we were able to use their beach chairs and order food with a 10% off discount. It is also located close to a lot of fun restaurants, and has food that you can order there too if you are not wanting to go out. The pool is also really nice and great for hot days or even night swims."

"All the staff were so welcoming and helpful, I really appreciated all the services offered (laundry, getting a tuk-tuk for me, recommendations for things do to and see, airport pickup, turn down service). It was awesome having a pool right outside my door and the food at the restaurant was delicious, with a great breakfast and a selection of Tanzanian and Arab inspired food. I also really liked the location, you are close to many quiet beautiful beaches, but away from the overly busy tourist trap area."
"The only small issue that happened was the toilet broke, but the owner got it fixed within a few hours and also offered to change my room straight away."
"The breakfast was very good i opted for the full English it was very tasty."
"The hotel was quiet but i was well looked after."

"I had a wonderful stay at Dragonfly Hotel. The price is very affordable, making it great value for money. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, especially considering the price. The location is excellent, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. While there’s no gym, the overall experience and hospitality more than make up for it. I would definitely recommend this hotel to budget-conscious travelers looking for a clean, friendly, and conveniently located place to stay in Zanzibar!"
"No Air-conditioning, but they have big Ventilator."

"Veramente favoloso! La posizione è perfetta per raggiungere il nyerere National park. Il proprietario è gentilissimo e molto disponibile, ha organizzato per noi la visita al parco. Anche lo staff è preparato e gentilissimo. Lavorano al campo anche dei Masai che ti accompagnao la sera in camera e ti aiutano con le valige. La struttura affaccia direttamente sul fiume in una posizione sicura e rialzata e da qui si può organizzare un safari in barca della durata di circa due ore in cui si possono vedere coccodrilli, vari tipi di uccelli e ippopotami. La vista dalla camera è dalla zona comune è spettacolare. La camera è pulita e spaziosa e con una vista meravigliosa. Ulteriore nota positiva è il cibo, cucinato internamente sul fuoco e veramente buonissimo. Ogni dettaglio del campo, dagli alloggi alla cucina, è curato e garantisce un'esperienza immersiva. Riassumendo....meraviglioso e fortemente consigliato."

"It has very good and friendly staff..very helpful. I’d recommend it to anyone traveling to stone town"
"Friendly host, clean and spacious room, perfect location for a flight (and still just 15 min by car to the city center). Would stay again!"

"The value here was phenomenal. Nice hotel right next to the center of Stonetown but off the main tourist path enough that it feels quiet and secluded. Great shower and decent size room."
"Clean and the hosts always available for anything needed."
Michael Karibu Nyumbani
"Very Staff. Located in the middle of Stone Town. Good breakfast at the Shoki Shoki Hotel. 24h Access due to friendly Maasai guard. All in all 10/10 definitely would recommend."
