Skyport Villa is an absolutely amazing place to stay! The house is spotlessly clean, tidy, and incredibly comfortable. Free coffee and tea are included, which is such a thoughtful touch. It has everything you need to feel at home and truly relax. The location is perfect—ideal for trips to Stone Town and extremely convenient for airport transfers. I absolutely loved my stay here and will definitely visit again. Highly recommend!❤️✨

Staff were incredibly warm and helpful and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. We were surprised they had decorated the room and even left some beautiful (full size) skin care products as a gift. The room decor is also very thoughtful and functional. The hotel design is lovely too. You feel like you’re in the centre of the action too so its a great place to explore Stonetown.

What an absolute gorgeous gem of a hotel in Stone Town. Truly authentic building and decor and incredible bedrooms. I stayed in the ‘Kate’ room which was utterly delightful. Beautiful private terrace overlooking the town, enormous bedroom (beautifully decorated) and an open-air bathtub adjoining. Super private. Gorgeous to wake up in the morning and open the doors and feel the breeze filter through. Beautiful bed linen and towels (woven locally) and handmade soaps. If you are into aesthetics, then this is the place for you. I can’t say enough to rate the hotel. All the staff were absolutely delightful and super attentive (as a single female traveller it was very much appreciated). The Manager was extremely kind and friendly. Also organised a fantastic private tour of the town for me which was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant is to die for. The best, authentic and freshest of food I have ever eaten.The taster plate experience with sunset and cocktails was dreamy. Amazing views and ambiance. Didn’t want it to end! The Secret Garden restaurant is also absolutely worth a visit. I attended on a Friday evening when there was live music being performed. Truly magical. Again, the food was just amazing and the staff all super kind.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hostel. Everything is great, interior, comfortable, great breakfast, good staff. At night we urgently needed to go to the hospital, the manager very quickly helped us with a taxi. We had an early departure, they prepared a takeaway breakfast for us, thank you very much.

Mizingani Seafront is pure magic! The authentic Swahili vibe, the stunning views of the beach, ships docking, and boats—it’s beyond words. And the location? Perfect! Everything in Stone Town is just a stroll away. (Whatever you do, do not miss going to the fish market at night) But the best part? I casually mentioned it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a cake and the sweetest staff singing “Happy Birthday” as soon as I walked into my room. (All this was on the house) It was such a beautiful moment! So much love from strangers - I teared up. Really touched my heart. Thank you for making my stay unforgettable, Mizingani Seafront! ❤️

Genial - only 5 min away from the airport by taxi! Recommndable, if your plane is leaving in the morning. You have no stress that there might be a traffic jam, if you stayed in a more remote part of Zanzibar.

It is the gateway to Zanzibar when you had an early morning, late night or even a long flight just to relax. The establishments are helpful and so are the locals. You can take a cheaper Tuktuk or more expensive private taxi, spend about 20 minutes to Stone Town where you will be able to do many tours at or from. If you have never been on a Tuktuk it could be an opportunity to have a time of your life bumping and breaking as it pass thorough traffic. You also can choose to rent a car if you willing to drive there. Just remember that most roads are small and speed limit is lower than other countries. While you there, there are motorcycles, pedestrians, tuktuks and other cars that buzz everywhere, if you choose to rent a car. The wind from the open top part of the doors in refreshing. Note that the locals may not speak English as good as you, so speak slower and clearly. They are very helpful. There are supermarkets, restaurants, accommodations in different styles in Kiembi Samaki. You can book tours directly from there to other areas. Though I would advise to go further inwards the country once you are done with sightseeing. Then book a night just before your flight so that you are closer to the airport. I used a supermarket on the main road (Nyerere) to buy supplies. It is next to a Last Minute Safari offices. Just next to it there is a Hotel with restaurant. I used a mixture of Tuktuk and private taxi to commute. Make sure you have Tanzanian Shilling to be able to use around. Take the name of establishment, street and landmarks should you use a tuktuk so that you can explain when you come back. lastly, relax because Zanzibar is a very safe place. ofcourse caution is needed, but not like in many countries.
