Hotels in Tanzania

When I was planning our Zanzibar trip I found The African Paradise and I spent at least an hour to figure it out if it’s fake or not since the reviews everywhere were so great . Now I can tell it’s really a 10/10 stay!:) we loved it sooo much! First the hosts are amazing, super friendly, kind, want to make sure you enjoy your holidays as much as you can. They helped us organizing our trips around the island, we got FREE! wine at 5pm, boat tours, kayaks, bikes and basically if we needed anything they just made it for us, like in my case: fruits, antibacterial cream, etc Also the people working around the hotel /restaurant are great, very polite, kind and smile:) The atmosphere of the hotel is very relaxing, none bothering you with offers and souvenirs. The tide process is amazing, we loved it, walking or just watching the low tide as well. Max 15people which makes it spacious, even on full load we didn’t feel crowded. And as extra they have super lovely dogs:) To be honest I could continue this enumeration of positive things for a looong time, but I think you should just book it and feel the care and chill we had here with its people. All in all I think the best accommodation I ever had! If we will be in Zanzibar again, no question were we will stay!:)

Staff, facilities and the property itself is amazing. We stayed there on our way from Dar to Mwanza. We stayed with two of our small dogs. Food was good too. They even packed our breakfast early in the morning as per request. Would love to visit again.

If someone told me they were planning to visit Zanzibar, I would recommend that their first choice be Babalao Bungalows. While booking through Booking.com, I was impressed by the numerous positive reviews and high rating of Babalao Bungalows, and my experience there completely justified the praise. The place is outstanding in every aspect: the accommodation, the location, the pricing, the breakfast, and more. What impressed me the most was Yahya, who assisted me during my stay. With extensive experience as a guide, he flawlessly organized our itinerary, allowing me to truly unwind and make the most of my 5 days in Zanzibar. It felt like more than just staying at a lovely place; it was akin to having hired a professional tour guide. Without a doubt, it ranks among the best places I've ever visited (and I don't use the term "best" lightly).

Wonderful boutique hotel, immaculate rooms, tasty food and great services! Owners are keen on providing the best experience

Perfect location right on a beautiful beach. Large comfortable room. Right near the Rock restaurants. A variety of trips available from the front desk. Wonderful cocktails. Delicious dinners. Friendly staff. Would recommend!

African Bungalows is a beautiful boutique style hotel, which is so hard to find in Nungwi. The pool area is exceptional with garden style surroundings. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was welcoming and friendly. The owner of the hotel Ersoy was a consummate host and made us feel really spoilt! Thank you so much for making our vacation special.

We had a wonderful stay at Pangani Cliffs! The staff and managers went above and beyond to make us feel truly welcome and cared for. The food was outstanding, every day brought a new dish prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also arranged a fantastic boat trip to Maziwe Island, where we had a great time. We loved exploring the reef at low tide, unwinding by the pool, and enjoying delicious cocktails with a breathtaking ocean view. I would highly recommend spending at least 2-3 days here, as there are plenty of activities to enjoy and discover. 😍

From the start, manager Aliya was amazing, answering all our questions and organizing everything perfectly. The property is stunning, even more beautiful than the pictures, with a unique design and serene atmosphere. We loved the privacy: only 4 villas, so it never feels crowded, and most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. Everything was peaceful, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. This was one of our most unforgettable vacations, and if we return to Zanzibar, we’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

I had a really lovely stay at Palmera Zanzibar Eco Hotel! What stood out the most was the incredibly kind and attentive staff. Their warmth and hospitality truly made the experience special. It’s clear the hotel prioritizes service, and I really appreciate that they offer hospitality training programs, which is reflected in how well guests are cared for. One of the highlights was how helpful the team was in arranging a taxi for us to visit Paje for the day. Everything was easy and smooth. The low tide at Palmera was absolutely beautiful and made for a memorable experience. The overall vibe at Palmera is peaceful and welcoming, with a genuine eco-conscious spirit. I also really enjoyed the vegan food. It was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
