Il ristorante davvero ottimo sia per le colazioni sia per i pasti. Per chi cerca un’oasi di pace diversa dai classici resort (per vivere l’atmosfera di Zanzibar in modo più autentico) e della buona ospitalità (e cucina) italiana sicuramente è il posto giusto! Super consigliato! "

Also the water pressure was barely a trickle making showering almost impossible. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the nightly rate for a guest house in Zanzibar?
Rates for Zanzibar guest houses vary, but travelers can find great-value prices from CA $28 with Expedia. A range of factors can affect nightly rates, such as the location, the breakfast offering, and the range of amenities. Travelers looking for a good deal should consider looking for a midweek stay, as weekend rates at Zanzibar guest houses tend to be higher. Remember to also use our filters to sort prices from low to high.
What's the difference between a Zanzibar guest house and a B&B?
A guest house in Zanzibar is typically a larger establishment with more rooms, offering a more hotel-like experience, and may provide additional amenities including luxury bedding. In contrast, a B&B is usually a smaller property that focuses primarily on providing a room and breakfast. A B&B is often more personal, and breakfast is typically included as part of the stay, but other services might be more limited compared to a guest house.
