Guest reviews for Vanilla House
"Nice rooms, very comfortable, fan, ocean view, good breakfast and friendly workers"
"Asked the staff for wifi and they tolld me 10 minutes and then i never heard from them again. Later on, I asked the owner for wifi and was basically ignored. You can get cheaper places on the beach with wifi but I will say that it was a comfortable place."
"Exactly I front of the beach , the food is delicious , the service and staff were amazing"
"Nothing all good"
"My room was comfortable, the staff were incredible and so lovely and warm, and the location is absolutely perfect! Delicious food, as well!"
"Aucun."
"Coziness. I could sit at the veranda all day and just watch the view and sip authentic Zanzibari coffee. The vast ocean is few steps away from the doorstep and this home is definitely located in a heart of Jambiani. Great access to the beach. Great staff. Good vibe. Something that tells you-pole pole-just relax and keep watching the ocean. Or the Sunrises!"

"Since I read the book who the owner Dorota wrote, I really wanted to visit Vanilla House. And it was as I imagined, even better!!! The sound of the ocean at night...The breeze.. The food... The view... I loved it!!!!"

"Vanilla House to wyjątkowe miejsce dla osób, ceniących sobie spokój, kameralne, przytulne miejsca na wypoczynek od codziennego życia . Widok o poranku z tarasu pięknego lazurowego oceanu zaraz po wyjściu z pokoju sprawiał, że od razu pojawiał się uśmiech na mojej twarzy i chęć na eksplorowanie tej niesamowitej wyspy. Atmosfera tego domu to ludzie, którzy tam pracują i dbają o dom i komfort odwiedzających. Aika i jej pyszne dania a moje ulubione curry fish :-) Dorotka, właścicielka domu, to wspaniała osoba na właściwym miejscu, pełna pasji i zaangażowania."

"Dom połozony przy samej plaży, z wyjątkowym klimatem. Bardzo dobre posiłki przygotowywane przez Aikę z lokalnych swieżych produktów. Pani Dorota zawsze na miejscu, pomagała w organizowaniu czasu i opowiadała o lokalnych zwyczajach. Na miejscu można nurkować (centrum divingu PADI za płotem), żeglować ngalawą- tradycyjną łodzią żaglową, kitesurfingować lub po prostu spędzać czas na plaży- która szczególnie w czasie odpływu jest bardzo rozległa."

"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"
"Top notch for the location. It is extremely close to the ferry station and has many restaurants in the neighborhood. In fact the breakfast here was very good too. For the price you pay, it is a great deal. The mantra of the guest house is healthy, green living and they have actually created the decor with recycled products which looked very cool."

"The Arabic antique style was super cute and we felt like in a museum! The fan in the room was strong enough and didn’t feel the mold which I saw on the other comments."

"A cool place with a nice breakfast and friendly staff."
Lars Retro
"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!"
Rodrigo Yakamoz Zanzibar
"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."
