    Sometimes low water pressure. Not possible to swim at low tide, but this not hotel's fault.

    For nature lovers ! Bungalows right on the beach. You can hear vawes ar night. All teritory is in shadow of palms and other trees. Very quiet place for relaxing holidays. Good breakfast and dinner.

    There was a power outage that lasted until around 2–3 in the morning, making it difficult to sleep as the fans were not working. However, I believe this was an isolated incident and not a recurring issue.

    Great breakfast and near the beach

    That area have chronic blackouts good, news the water still runs but at reduce pressure.

    Very nice location. Quiet part of that stretch of beach. Staff very lovely. Rooms cleaned everyday. Very safe area. Owner very accommodating. No complaints. Just be aware some Bungalows on beach front and with view. Others are behind. So be sure what you are choosing.

    I didn’t realize there would be no electricity from 2 am-7 am every night. Because the beach is hot & humid it’s a bit uncomfortable without even a fan during the night. This isn’t necessarily the bungalows fault, sounds like the government shuts it down.

    I have stayed at this property 3 times since 2005! The owner is an incredible woman and her staff is so nice and accommodating. The food is excellent.

    Beach side bungalow - 0 min to the beach. Friendly staff and clean facility. Nice Japanese food.

    Bungalow in Paje Zanzibar

    Paje is situated in an area of high tidal activity. Therefore when the tide is out you would have to go for quite a bit to reach the water. So, unfortunately for me, this time I did not swim much. The place could benefit from a swimmingpool but there was'nt one. The bathroom was quite rustic....

    The location was just by the beach so was looking out over the water from my bungalow. As I am walking badly right now the owner gave me a bungalow near to the restaurant wich was very handy. The staff was really helpful and nice. The breakfast was very filling and good. A truly nice time to relax.

    The place where you merge with nature and go just to chill, take a shower, sleep and relax.

    Some features could be upgraded ( towels, maybe some things in the bathroom like a proper mirror, and the lighting inside was quite poor - only one bulb that was not enough for the room). WIFI it would be nice to have it also besides the restaurant area. Is ok to disconnect (vacation mood), but to move every time from the sunbed to main area to check messages, or late evening going out from cottage just to have a conversation it was sometimes not really my cup of tea.

    This is the perfect place for a quiet spot. Cleaning room every day. Wifi ONLY in the restaurant. Staff very friendly, discrete, so you can enjoy your vacation. If in mood for bars/ party, 5 -10 min walking on the beach on each direction you have from where to choose. Keep in mind that this is actually a cottage. So, the inside is proper cottage, basic needs in the same vibe as the island. Nothing fancy. In front of the cottage you have the sun beds/ chairs to relax and just watch the ocean disappearing / coming back. No AC (even I was in full season first part of February, I did not use the fan ( there was a fan inside).

    Nothing

    View and the fact that the place was right next to the beach. There are probably more luxurious places to stay but none could offer the same wonderful atmosphere, view, and peace as you will find here.

    A real paradise
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 7 nights

    The rooms were dark and without aircon (a fan was provided however). The rooms were also dated and the light was not really strong, Also, a little humid and damp however, with a little TLC and improved bungalows, I believe Paradise Beach Bungalows has the potential of being 5 stars. It is truly a spectacular setting.

    Paradise Beach Bungalows was our favourite hotel whilst we visited Zanzibar (we stayed in 3 other areas/hotels). I highly recommend getting a beach front bungalow as the view and private sunbed area is outstanding! The rooms could be a little lighter, and are probably in time for some redoing as it's a little rusty however, for the price and the view and location we really can't complain! The location is a 10 minute walk along the beach to all the restaurants and liveliness. We liked that we weren't in the centre of it all! When there is high tide at night you can easily call a taxi from a restaurant and have them take you home. The sea is magnificent. If you walk left you get to experience wild beaches with hardly anyone there! If you walk right you get to see all the wind and kite surfers! It's really wonderful. The staff were very kind especially to Ali and the Japanese owner and all the other staff that assisted (I didn't catch your names but thank you!). P.s. their passion fruit jam is amazing!!!

    Rooms in decent standard, a bit problem with water device (shower was not working properly). But in such a nice place you do not pay attention to this small things at all.

    Very good location, close to central part of Paje, but not very crowded. Very safe place, good food and friendly staff. For those who likes party, each Tuesday, there is a pool party in the neighboring hotel, which I personally recommend.

    We were in 5 hotels in Zanzibar, and this one was the best! The site is gorgeous and the staff was friendly. Yes, you can say that the bathrooms can be renovated, but this rustic vibe (e.g. wooden shutters on windows, padlock and latch to lock the door) goes well with the surroundings, and also everything was spotless, so really no reason to complain. We also went for a cooking class, where a family shows how to prepare a curry dish in their home. This was such a nice way to learn more about the local community.
