  • “The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and great value for money. Very impressive breakfast. Not much variety as they offer a set menu of limited options, but the food was delicious. They also gave a complimentary plate of fruit before your selected breakfast. Overall, the stay was great and everything was walking distance so we enjoyed exploring stonetown and getting a feel of local culture. We would highly recommend for an affordable option in the heart of stone town.”

  • Demani Lodge Zanzibar Review score: 10

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

  • “The rooms are clean and have beautiful views”

  • Hekaya Zanzibar Review score: 10

    “The view, the room and the amazing staff!”

  • “The hotel is set in a peaceful location, close enough to local amenities, with Paje being a short walk away. The beach is beautiful and I enjoyed relaxing in the grounds of the hotel 'people watching' as locals walked by. My room had everything i needed and I enjoyed having a view of the sunset each morning from my bed. The staff were incredible, always happy and helpful. The menu was varied, the food was well cooked and the prices were really competitive, (do try the crab). Breakfast was huge! 3 courses, which meant I didn't really need anything until dinner. The owners are incredibly kind and generous, they even arranged a boat trip for guests to bond and go snorkelling. There are paddle boats and snorkelling equipment for guest use, for free. The atmosphere is so relaxed. For those enjoying walks, the beach here literally goes for miles, you can walk in either direction and explore nearby villages and beaches. I really enjoyed my week long stay and would definately recommend staying here for both the hotel and the location, it really is perfection.”
