House holiday rentals in Zanzibar

We stayed for almost two weeks in Karin’s villa and extended our stay twice on short notice—both times without any issues. Karin was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself is spacious and well-protected by Masai guards day and night. We found the location to be perfect for Paje—close enough to explore the area on foot during the day, yet far enough from the nightlife to enjoy a peaceful rest at night. The villa is truly unforgettable. The open design of the living and kitchen area creates a stunning atmosphere, especially when all the doors and windows are open. The kitchen is well-equipped and perfect for preparing delicious meals with the amazing local ingredients and spices. The lush garden, filled with beautiful plants and trees, makes the outdoor space incredibly inviting. We loved spending entire days by the pool, just relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of this wonderful place. We highly recommend staying here and would love to return!

Cynthia's home was perfect for our family. Home was exactly as what was in the picture. Upstairs area of home was open, bright, and welcoming. Ester rhe housekeeper was very accommodating, what ever we needed, she would make it happen. The clear glistening pool was my getaway spot. The home was in a quiet area, but only a few minutes from shopping, this was the perfect location for us. I would definitely recommend this home.

The villa is in immaculate condition, the service provided by the Host and the staff was excellent 👏 i will recommend everyone to book this place when visiting Paje.

The house is amazing, bedrooms , bathrooms and pool. The staff is also amazing, making everything possible to help, the chef service was very good and Patrick helped a lot managing to get our transfers during the stay.

City center accessible in less than 10 minutes on foot, accommodation as described. Diana and Omary were very flexible with our check-in and check-out times, in addition to being always available to answer our questions. Thanks!

This villa was amazing although my only complaint was the comfort of the beds mattress was a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Staff was really nice! Celebrated my birthday and they did an amazing job decorating! Thanks again!

Private, peaceful and quiet! The place is actually much homier feeling than the pictures reflect and very clean. A huge industrial size fan made the outside very enjoyable. Extremely responsive host and manager. Accessible to the beach, but also feels very secure with the guards and gate at the front of the complex. AC, generator, and wifi all worked well and were a lifesaver. The kitchen range was having problems, which we were notified about on check-in, but was very annoying to work with which I am sure they will fix promptly - there was also the upstairs outdoor kitchen to use so not a huge inconvenience. The chef who cooked our dinner did an excellent job. We stayed for 5 nights and it was outstanding. We are already planning to come back.

The most beautiful place to stay in Zanzibar, exclusively super nice staff, the room and pool were perfectly clean and tastefully decorated, the location is unbeatable. We would recommend anyone to come here and will definitely return! ❤️

Very helpful, always responsive via messages quickly. Great location, everything accessible within walking distance. Good security every evening. Lovely cleaner. Lovely clean home. Would definitely visit again and recommended to friends who are looking to attend Zanzibar in the near future too.

Simone was a lovely host! Responded super quickly. Saïd picked us up from the airport and was always ready. Mtumwa poetse wonderful! Sparkling clean. Beds were wonderfully changed every 4 days. If electricity and water failures, there was a generator. Nice! Beach in front of the door not really clean, but a short walk and you have a nice beach. In the house an info folder with all kinds of tips for trips. You can ask the helpful Saïd as a driver, or someone else. Children from the neighborhood play in front of the door on the beach. We enjoyed it! Put your chair on the beach at 5.30 pm and look at the fishing boats that come back with their catch. The house has a lovely veranda with dining table and chairs, where you can have breakfast etc. We had a lovely stay of 4 weeks and thank Simone for the good communication! Tip: bring aea for the children. They are really poor.

Nakudenda House is a nice, spacious house in the heart of Jambiani village. The beach is just a stone's throw away. Lots of nice restaurants around. The house offers comfortable, large bedrooms. It's nicely decorated and has all you need to enjoy wonderful Jambiani. Eta and Romain are very nice hosts, very proactive and try to solve any problems as quickly as possible. Communicating with them was very easy and they go out of their way to make your stay a nice one.

Our stay here was amazing, honestly beyond our expectations! The host was incredibly welcoming and even surprised us with food and tea when we arrived, which was very thoughtful. We arranged an airport pickup through them, which made everything so easy from the start. The place was perfect for our family with kids, spacious, clean, comfortable, and in a great location. We ended up extending our stay because we loved it so much, and the host made it completely hassle-free with quick and smooth communication. Staying here made our trip to Zanzibar so much better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a stress free and memorable stay!

Feels right at home. With a nice ocean facing rooftop, clean swimming pool. This is a safe lodge, location is quiet and safe with friendly staffs and secured. Responsive host and always checking if everything was ok. This is a place where you can have a perfect rest/relaxation on vacation. I will definitely book again.

Maria's place was lovely, peaceful and relaxing Easy close walk to beautiful beach and plenty of good restaurants. The two dogs were friendly, sweet and calm and despite other reviews did not follow us out of the complex. We always felt safe and secure as the local staff was always on hand if we needed anything and Maria was always very responsive if we had any questions. If you don't keep a car I would recommend you stop on your way for any needed groceries (Coffee, Tea, snacks, soaps etc.) and ATM as many restaurants prefer cash. We would definitely recommend Maria's place if you are looking for a relaxing peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle.

Hanna, Inès and I thank you very much for this unique welcome. The setting is sublime, Paulette and Didier took great care of us. We felt like we were at home. Paulette was able to meet our needs and prepared an excellent feast for us (Congolese/Swahili specialty) with fresh produce. Her kitchen is done with love and care. The decoration of each bedroom and shared living room is beautiful. We will come back without hesitation and recommend this guesthouse. See you soon!!

I really enjoyed myself at the property very calm and peaceful place and big big thanks for the hosting whoever wanted to go to Zanzibar I recommend this place you will never regret it again big big thanks

Amazing place ! Still in awe ! Kizimkazi is a beautiful place filled with beautiful souls and this house was the perfect place to enjoy all of this. Very private and calm! Orit is an amazing host, helpful and nice (even brought us to a local bar the first night !!) I totally recommend !! Would go back in a heartbeat

nice peaceful place amongst the locals. you'll get a true feel how i would be living in Zanzibar.

Our stay was fantastic! Communication went smoothly and the hospitality was excellent. Fatima and Emanuel were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The accommodation was clean, well cared for and exactly as described. We really felt welcome and appreciated. Definitely recommended, and we'd love to come back!

Me and my family had a wonderful stay at Maksud’s house. On arrival, we were unable to find the location due to getting mixed up to which Fumba the house was in. However Maksud was easy to reach and we were able to get directions. On arrival, we were met by Shaban the caretaker who was very welcoming and gave us all the information we needed about the house. Shaban too gave us a tour around the gated community which was helpful. The house had all the supplies needed such as cutlery, toilet roll, washing powder and electric to last a few days. Within the gated community there is great security, supermarket and other stores and restaurants. Throughout the stay, there were entertainment each night which we were made aware of and other extra curricular activities. Whenever we needed any help or needed questions answered, Shaban was easy to reach and super helpful and friendly. The house itself was modern, clean and just like the photos! As was the pool! We would definitely stay again!

Regina was an amazing host, we had a great time staying at her home! We were just a 5 minute walk from the beach and from many restaurants, including The Rock and Upendo Beach. She was very responsive and very helpful/accommodating. Would highly recommend staying with Regina!

Really nice, relaxed, and peaceful place.

Nice welcoming by Rashid ! Very nice and clean villa with a fantastic pool. Nearby the sea and lots of restaurants. Thanks a lot

Wonderful large airbnb in prime location just few minutes from all needs. One minute from the beach is an understatement as it practically sits at the back door. The host was amazing and Joseph went above and beyond. Genuinely would recommend this airbnb to anyone visiting Paje! Thanks so much for the Zanzibar welcome!!
