"Comfortable and great breakfast. Amazing sunrise. Milako made us feel at home <3"

"The staff were wonderful, the facilities great and right on the beach."

"The frequency of the power cuts. The hotel had a generator but that trips out the Air conditioning in the room that we were staying in. This made it unbearable to sleep comfortably."

"The rooms are well-maintained and clean, cleaned every morning. In the afternoon, the staff comes again to freshen up the room and set up the mosquito nets – attention to detail is at a very high level. Delicious breakfasts and wonderful dishes served in the restaurant."

"A wonderful hotel, the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation."

"Right on the beach. Able to go swimming, walk on the beach, and sit back and relax. Staff were very helpful. Place clean. Small hotel with only 4 rooms. Felt very special."

"The swimming pool needs some work. The water pressure is low and the shower heads need replacement as they are blocked."

"Breakfast was great, coffee, tea, freshly made juice, fruits, pancakes, toast, eggs the way you like and sometimes even croissants. Personel was so sweet, comforting, kind and helpfull. Remo and Nasra awaited us, Anna and Zusheina helped us in the restaurant and bar, The food was freshly made and the best we had in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar. Ali kept us safe at night and learned me more Swahili. The rooms were spacious and were cleaned thoroughly every day by Catharina, Inez and Maria. The location and the view is amazing. We even got the seaview room when it was available from the owner I really recommend this little gem with their 3 rooms."

"I wish we could have stayed longer!"

"We felt perfect and exceptional the whole time thanks to the great team of people who took care of us. Great food, clean accommodation, great staff, girls, security, facilities, owner.. you will all be in my memory forever... a wonderful place, exactly for a vacation where you want to relax. Sunrise right from the apartment. I will miss all of that. If I come back, it will definitely be right here. We will definitely see each other again. Asante sana🙏❤️"

"This hotel is the best place for a quiet vacation in Zanzibar. We stayed here for five nights and thought every day that this was our place. The staff is young, helpful, attentive and caring. Always welcomes and accompanies with a smile. The food was super. The host Antonio took care of our experience on the island. Since we had a car, he pointed out places to see. And where you can't go by car, he ordered excursions for us. The internet was very weak, but sometimes it's good to be away from the world. Highly recommend, you don't be disappointed. But don't forget - this is Africa."

"Aucun."

Guest reviews

"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"

"A cool place with a nice breakfast and friendly staff."

"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."

"The location is right at the center of Stone Town."
