How I felt safe and great to walk the street late at night. Beach House restaurant was a lovely dance place on a Friday evening. Walking to the spice market. Walking down the the street where you can bargain for amazing deal's. Enjoy taking pictures of historical sites. Eating local food at Café Africano Hurumzi.Cupido - 8.0Scored 8.0

I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.RomanSlovakia - 10Scored 10

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.Rahel AsefaEthiopia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!AAnonymousFinland - 8.0Scored 8.0

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices. However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.Joy

- From RSD 12,175.31 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 2,132 reviewsI stayed at this hotel with my husband. We booked the presidential suite with a sea view. Waking up in the morning and going out to her balcony to watch the sea, people on the beach and the ships was worth every single penny. Imagine just lounging on the balcony in the evening with the quiet bustle and ocean sounds. We loved it so much that we have decided to return to it on our last couple of days of vacation. The staff is super helpful and welcoming. They have amazing accommodations such as a pool where you can relaxSucaadDenmark
- From RSD 40,508.60 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 441 reviewsStaff was kind and helpful. Especially bar tenders were flexible for special requests and they tried to do their best. Our package was all inclusive. Selection of drinks were quite enough for this package. Hotel's location is little far from airport but it is exactly somewhere middle of the jungle. I can say I generally liked the atmosphere right over there and Swimming pool options were fine. Room was okay. Especially I liked the balcony with garden view. Breakfast and Lunch menus were satisfying.

The owner Sadaat was extremely helpful organizing trips and gave us a lot of insides about stone town. The rooms were lovely and spacious with sea view exactly as advertised. Food was also delicious. We specifically choose smaller hotels during our holidays as we don’t like the big chains where you are just a number. Sadaat and his team really gave our time there a personal touch. We had a fantastic time at Archipelago Stonetown.StephanieUnited Arab Emirates

Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.

hussainIndia - From RSD 2,272.72 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,013 reviewsThe hotel is right on the edge of all the happenings in stone town, it is reachable by car/taxi, so you do not have to walk with luggage. Everything inside the little windy roads of Stone Town can be reached good by foot from the hotel. The owner also arranges tours and taxis. The room was pretty big, but mostly empty. It does serve the purpose of sleeping there, but otherwise it has not much to offer. The balcony is pretty, but that's it.JulijaSlovenia
