I did a huge amount of research before booking this particular property and we were not disappointed at all. It is NOT like staying in a hotel, it is more like being invited to stay at a family house with friends who have exceptional staff providing for you and them. Maxi and Milia are Italian and their home reflects this, as well as their approach with guests, and we found them to be excellent hosts, who will chat with you and help you any way they can in a way I have never experienced in a 'brand' hotel, ever. One of the reviews I saw suggested that Italian guests were better treated - we are English and were treated wonderfully, by absolutely everyone. Another review said the food service was slow because they were not guests of the property, they are completely missing the point, and the style of Zanzibar. I cannot recommend this property enough. The hosts and staff provide a (much quieter than average) place to stay in Zanzibar where you can do as little as you wish, or as much as you want, because your hosts will gladly organise trips with their drivers and cars like they did for us.

We were looking for a quiet place to rest and feel cared. And we definitely found it. This small hotel has everything you need. excellent food kind service. a feeling of home. Attentive to everything, clean and beautiful rooms just on the beach!! Waking up with the amazing views. One evening there was a lovely band with a varied menu of seafood, fish, Italian food. A small and charming boutique hotel. Thank you for a magical birthday and an unforgettable stay
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Very spacious room- Genius upgrade! Lovely bed and working air condition. Very close to all amenities. Great hosts and very helpful staff. Amazing, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast, good coffee too!
We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!
I thought it was a great location, straight onto a quiet bit of the beach. The staff were phenomenal - extremely helpful and very pleasant. Overall, a nice boutique hotel where I would return.
Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.
