Steps away from the beach. Able to book tours directly with hotel. Not a lot of restaurant variety close by. Like most of zanzibar, water pressure was only slightly higher than pouring water from a bottle onto yourself but at least it was hot. Music from nearby hotels and restaurants. Electricity cuts - generator supposedly present but not turned on - part of the property had lights on but not my part. ##### TIMOTHY Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nilaja Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed my stay at Cocolala Beach house. From the owner Carola, to the staff, they were all extremely friendly and helpful. Being that I took a solo trip for my birthday to Zanzibar, I really appreciated Carola in making sure my day was very special. If I had any questions or needed any assistance, someone was always around to help me. The hotel was always clean and fully supplied with water and toilet tissue. If you’re looking for a comfortable and safe hotel with a 2 minute walk to the beach, this is your place! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5b142cd-9cd6-4dcb-ba94-3bf10ed4e58c-1749414966483.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31589d33-f5bf-4c59-ba27-a9403bc43cb5-1749414966823.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nilaja Stayed 12 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Room comfort Breakfast was very simple, Location was good as vendors didn’t come around but the road is in terrible condition. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes. ##### Brenda Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### milana Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay awesome A/C and breakfast Owner of this hotel Sebastian and his wife goes far and beyond our expectation. We’re friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was awesome every day and air conditioning was superb… beach is 1 min walk and location has a lot of good restaurant. We highly recommend this place for couple and families. We had room for 4 and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Sebastian organized for us transport from airport when we arrived . He also organized tour which was reasonably priced and time wise very well calculated ( spice farm, prisoner island and Stone town) right before our departure from Zanzibar. I am glad I choose this hotel for our family of 4\. We already missing Zanzibar. ##### milana Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Rutger Oct 29, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Owners are friendly, everything else is just very average.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Cocolala Beach House in Zanzibar! From the moment I arrived, the warmth and kindness of the staff made me feel right at home. The manager went above and beyond, ensuring a welcoming and seamless experience—her hospitality truly set this stay apart. The room was wonderfully comfortable, with excellent air conditioning and an overhead fan, making it a perfect retreat after a day in the sun. One of the standout moments for me was when I had early morning scuba dives—since breakfast was served later, the manager thoughtfully prepared a to-go breakfast for me, a small but incredibly meaningful gesture that made my experience feel truly 5-star. Beyond the fantastic service, I loved the outdoor space—a peaceful porch and well-kept surroundings, ideal for relaxing. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach and within walking distance of amazing restaurants. If you're considering where to stay in Zanzibar, I highly recommend Cocolala Beach House for its comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again! ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly owners, great location Good place to stay, right on the beach ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chevy Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice location, budget-friendly, and great staff.

Huge, clean and well equipped bedroom and bathroom. A peaceful hotel that is literally steps to a great swimming beach (you can swim seaweed free any time if day) restaurants, activities and shops. Huge hot breakfasts (I could never finish at one sitting). Hammocks in the garden for lazing around. Most of all Cora, Mohammed and Sebastian were gracious hosts. They gave me helpful recommendations for where to swim, local places to eat and the best prices for beach chairs. They connected me with a Budabuda (motorcycle taxi) so I could explore town. And all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Cocolala. I’ll be staying there if I return to Zanibar. ##### carla-krystin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Roberto Mar 15, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Posto carino ,ottima pulizia vicinissimo al mare negozi e ristoranti con personale molto disponibile e cordiale ##### Roberto Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anna Mar 5, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Das Hotel wird von einer deutschen Familie geleitet. Das Personal ist äußerst höflich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war großzügig und sauber, verfügt über einen Kühlschrank und es war ein Stromreisestecker vorhanden. Über die Rezeption können auch Bootsfahrten gebucht werden. Das Hotel verfügt über keine eigenen Strandliegen aber einen direkten Strandzugang. Im benachbarten Restaurant (Blue Sea Restaurant) können Liegen kostenfrei benutzt werden, falls man etwas isst. Darüberhinaus gibt es 10% Rabatt für Cocolala Gäste. Der feinsandige Strand war gepflegt und sauber. Verkaufsstände und sonstige Attraktionen (Schildkröten, Zoo, Aquarium etc.) sind fußläufig erreichbar. Es gibt kein Frühstücksbuffet, aber ausreichend und abwechslungsreich Frühstücksteller. Falls man morgens eine Bootstour macht wird ein kleines Frühstückspaket gerichtet. Auf dem Gelände gibt es einen bewachten Parkplatz. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können das Hotel weiterempfehlen. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Tomas Oct 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nära strand och restauranger.
