Dear Zanzistar. This place is so nice. We enjoyed our stay so much. The surrounding is beautiful- you sit and eat in a bananapalm garden and chill around in a very cozy cool vibed and nice well designed little place. As family we enjoyed hanging around and play card, take a dip in the pool etc. And the Zanzistar beachbar, wich you quick go to, is lovely and again very cool and beautiful. We absolutely had the best food here. Delicious breakfast. The staff is friendly and do their best to help you. And very much thank to the manager that keep this such a beautiful oasis.

Not crowded, very few sellers, few spots for kite surfing and have few kite surfing school. Psst: alcohol was available at a very fair rate😉

    The breakfast was amazing, fresh fruit and juice to start, and then the choice of eggs, beans, tomato and more! The staff were all so friendly and helpful with anything and everything! The hostel itself was paradise, they take the name ‘on the beach’ very literally, its the perfect spot on the beach, but also with privacy to sunbathe, swim in the pool, eat etc. with lots of choice of places to relax from swings and hammocks to beds and sun lounges all around!

    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!

    Great location. Very nice hosts. The room is clean but poorly equipped. Breakfast ok but juices tasteless and too diluted with water. Evening barbecue with seafood and fish sensational. Peace and quiet and very safe.

    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.

    great quiet boutique hotel with very nice staff and great location. The tide on the beach was no problems at all as we enjoyed a walk to the blue water in about 20min at low tide, and could swim easily when high. Prices were very good and the hotel offers great value for money, charm and a nice homey atmosphere that we loved. we had an incredible stay, were able to fully relax and recharge and were pleased by the full team - in particular Happy always doing her best to make our stay magical! Recommend 100%.
