Nothing, it was perfect.

The place was very peaceful, breakfast was amazing and the staff was very nice. Highly recommend it.

Nothing really. Loved it all. WiFi could be a little slow at times, but not anything I’d really even consider as a negative.

For the price point and what it is, Demani is a hidden gem. It was extremely easy to find. Had easy parking. Great selection of foods and drinks to choose from. Excellent complimentary breakfast. Area was clean and comfortable and easy to relax and and enjoy with multiple seating areas with a pool. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Bathrooms and showers were the same way. Staff were very nice and easy to talk with and order from. Overall, this is one of the few places that, if/when I come back to zanzibar, I would absolutely stay again.

It was so so so great, I loved it there!!! I probably stayed a bit longer than most of the guests and really became part of the family. I met the nicest staff ever and had the most amazing time there. It's a bit out of the way from Paje but you can be in town in 2 minutes on the Boda Boda/ 30 minute walk, but a pool day at demani is also highly recommended if you just want to relax :)

Nothing.

Staff was attentive, the garden is very nice, pool was clean, room comfy and cleaned daily. Felt safe. Food and drinks were delicious, do not skip dinners there :)

Everything was okay, I really enjoyed my stay at Demani. Nice location, close to the beach. Everyone was super nice and helpful!

Little far from Paje but you can easily find a taxi or just walk

Great bungalows, the pool, breakfast

For me, two things were the problem. 1) the internet connection that is poor in the area of the rooms and 2) it's a little bit far away from Paje city and Jambiani city

The staff was very friendly, hospitable and willing to help you and give you information about everything! it is very nicely decorated and all wooden (that I'm in love with the wood). The food (breakfast which is included, and dinner which is extra in the price but worth it) was really delicious

Rooms are a little warm and a small fridge in the room to keep water cool would have been welcome

Very friendly staff, good food, 3 minute walk to the beach, lovely pool to dip into. The complex is sandy so no need for shoes and you do feel you are on a shady beach. There is no air con at the moment but room fans. The party on Thursday night is great fun with mix of locals and guests, it goes on to the early hours but other than that it is very quiet.

Small things (hot water didnt work / noise because of repairing appartments) which were not very bad for me - the staff is always willing to Help and find a good solution!

Everyone is always very easy going, with good and relaxed vibes - the atmosphere is so good! The food is also very good. And try the massage with stella, its not so expensive but very good! Suoernice trip: Spices tour!

It was all as expected. Location was slightly away from the beach and centre of Paje, but I knew that when we booked.

The whole set up was fab. Staff were great, food great, atmosphere. Great value for money. Our room was a great size.

Room and facilities are less than expected. Maybe this will be a problem for families, but the overall experience was amazing for couples or singles.

I like the friendly staff, food, beauty and quietness of the place. Also, massage treatment and relaxing on the pool was an amazing experience.

Beautiful place, very nice staff and a fun party on the Thursday evening. The pool is clean and there are enough beds.

Stayed in March 2024

in that warm environment we lacked air conditioning, but we knew that the accommodation did not provide air conditioning

We chose this accommodation because of the price, the cuisine and the party that takes place here. All our expectations were met. The breakfast was good, the party was perfect and the environment with the pool is very nice

nice stay we feel like home

Very nice place near Paje and Jambiani. Rooms was nice and cleaned every day. Food and beverages are in good prices and quality is so high and good. Every Thursday owners make some local party it was incredible fun 😂🥂 The bigest plus for staff !

Very dark at night because only few small lights. The pool area was hardly ever prepared with mattresses (you could get them yourself though) so not very inviting

Clean and nicely designed bungalows. Area clean.

My first night i slept in a dormitory and I had to change to a private room the following day. I felt the bathrooms were quite far and the dormitories are neglected. The room was just basic with no toiletries. WiFi can be utilised only around the restaurant and not in the rooms.

The staff were quite friendly and ready to help where needed. Breakfast was great. Location of the property is good Haji ( the driver) was very helpful in organising for tours and any transfers needed. Room well lit.
