Nice place to stay. A little out of the center but easy to reach by public transport. The manager Walter is ready to help you out with anything, and they offer a lot of safaris and trips to the surroundings. It's as clean as you'd expect from a hotel, great place for short and long stays.

Pretty nice hostel with a very nice pool and clean rooms. The food was good and they arranged a transport to the airport for us. The owner of the Hostel Tizia answered all questions ahead of our travel. We could recommend the hostel to everyone.

Demani Lodge

Reviewed By Anja0217

An awesome place to stay. Affordable. Clean. Good food. Very friendly owner gave good advice on places to visit and arranged for taxis. Great swimming pool. Met some lovely travellers there. The closest beach is a long walk away and very dirty. It's worth walking further up to the busier part. Don't even think of swimming at low tide, you'll have to walk more than a km to reach the water.

I have been coming to Zanzibar for over a decade, but never so much to Paje... This time happened to come this side, no regrets whatsoever, if you like music & partying, this is the place to be! It's almost non stop...? Food is quite delicious & the staff always ready to help! The owner has been quite helpful as well! When it comes to the rooms, let the pics speak by it self...? Highly recommended!

Lost & Found Hostel Zanzibar

Lost & Found Hostel is Zanzibar's first premium hostel. We are located in the center of Stone Town right across from the Shangani Post Office.

Pretty solid way to start the trip

Reviewed By ALConthemove

My favorite part about this place was - besides the extremely central location - their safes, which had electronic bracelets to open. The dorm was very comfortable and had AC, which isn't that common for Zanzibar especially in hostels. It can be noisy, though, being on the main street, and the common spaces are quite small so it wasn't easy to have space to just chill out or meet anyone. The staff was nice, and it's simple and easy for getting in and around.

Awesome Hostel in Moshi

Reviewed By stellamwangi29

I stayed 3 nights and had a very lovely stay. The entire team was friendly and super helpful. Gladwell went out of her way to assist me when I had some money issues during one of my day trips. I truly appreciated this. The hostel is very clean and centrally placed within the town making it easy to walk around. I'm definitely staying here every time I visit Moshi!

Reviewed By PeachB10

It‘s a fairly new hotel and part of Marriott Bonvoy. I enjoyed to stay there a lot, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet is nice and with various options. The pool has a nice size, however lacking a view. Talking about view, some rooms have nice sea view. Others have pool view but you also see the green landscape which is nice too. The rooms are pretty big, kind of small TV though, but they feel very comfortable and the bed is great too. Also USB and an international power plug at the night stand, which still a lot of other hotels don‘t have. Rooms are cleaned very well. The gym is very basic, only machines for cardio and a few weights. Ate dinner at the restaurant several times and always got good food. There is an area called Slipway just 5 walking minutes away, that also provides great food options and a bit of nightlife.

Sagando Hostel and Bungalows

Relaxed place with all basics covered plus great service

Reviewed By MB_again

Very relaxed place with nicely constructed bungalows spread around a decent sized and impressive garden area immediately behind 2 large beach front resorts. The owner Ali and all staff based there were super friendly and helpful, and the food was of good quality with generous portions. Beach is just 2-3 minutes’ walk away where amazing sunsets can be witnessed, plus walkable for very long stretches all around the peninsula up to the east facing side when there is low tide (serene and peaceful walk). Rooms and food are very reasonably priced for what you get. I would definitely stay here again if I decide to go to Michamvi.

Summer Dream Lodge

Our hotel is perfect for those looking for a nice relaxing place to stay. Our rooms are very spacious and all have a floor, big 7ft long beds with it's own mosquito net. Our rooms have a shared toilet outside or for extra comfort we have also ensuite rooms. Outside the rooms you have access to your own private terrace with comfy couch. Or come hangout in our garden with hammocks, hanging beds and a lounge area. For your stomach we have a restaurant with Swahili and European dishes and a nice relaxing bar with many cocktails to sample for nice prices. Located near one of the finest beaches of Zanzibar, Paje on the East-coast offers the finest white sand and clear blue ocean water. Situated only 70 meter from the beach, this area is more quiet and private for you to relax or to take a swim then the area with kite surfers and local fishermen a little distance away.

REALLY great place!

Great place to stay in Paje! Very close to the beach, cool staff, great pool, highly recommended! The Bungalows have AC, own bathroom and it’s a quiet area - except Tuesdays! There is a great big poolparty which is a lot of fun! Don’t miss it! Ellie and her staff are doing a great job!
