The property was very well located and clean. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Good aircon and fans, and I was able to wash clothes here. In the morning, I found my clothes already hung up by the cleaner which was fantastic. Overall very good value for money.

It was wonderful being able to spend nights in an authentically traditional building with traditional rooms and furniture. It was an excellent way to explore the traditional architecture and decoration of old Zanzibar. The location is perfect. Just behind the famous praying temple and just 5 minutes to the water shores. The owner is very friendly and always eager to make your stay comfortable. The price is reasonable given the excellent location and the traditional environment. This place is a must!

This place is a paradise on earth Imagine that your time spent on a tropical island could be the most special moment of your life. This may happen if you choose this Wasanii Sleep&Dream. This place is perfect for people who care about privacy. If you value peace and quiet, this is the perfect place for you. The rooms are new and equipped with everything you need. The air conditioning works perfectly. The facility has a shared kitchen and an additional shared bathroom. The facility is monitored, so you can feel very safe here. The owners and service team are wonderful, honest and friendly. As for the surrounding area, it is one of the most beautiful villages on the island, with a beautiful beach, a 1-minute walk away. I recommend it to every person and family who wants to experience the most beautiful Zanzibar adventure of their life.
