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 - 4.0Scored 4.0

Dirty, smelly, full of approaching ~beach boys, sellers and beggars. Much more aggressive than up north. Mostly came for a Nakupenda tour. Nice place but be aware that it’s crowded - by lots of tourists and then of course even the aggressive up in your face wanting to touch you sellers there too. The more upscaled beach hotels and restaurants are nice though.MariaSweden - 10Scored 10
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence.
Stonetown is a cute, small city with arab influence. It is worth taking the boat to prison island to learn more about the history and see the turtles. 2 days is sufficient. In the evening there is a night market with different food stalls.

Lots of shops in Stonetown selling the same.
Lots of shops in Stonetown selling the same. Plenty of souvenirs to buy. Check Darajani market for good bargains. Don't forget the spice market. Avoid shopping in Darajani street. Not for tourists. Relaxed lunches at the high terraces of the Swahili house and Emerson house. Supper at Lukmaan (reasonable and cheap), Masa Japanese Restaurant (good and reasonably priced), and Krishna Food House (good and reasonably priced).LipasoKenya

- From $68.40 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 1,278 reviewsI spent a night at Shaba Boutique Hotel before flying out of Zanzibar and it was perfect. I was able to check in a bit earlier and the room was stunning, the bed and all the decor felt true to Stone Town and the staff were so friendly and helpful in arranging transport to the airport as well. The breakfast was excellent in the morning. Location was great, during the night it can be intimidating walking the streets but it really isn't too far from the typical tourist spots. I would stay again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.DivyaAustralia
- From $208.70 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 377 reviewsHotel outside area was nice, restaurant was pretty in evenings (needed more lighting at restaurant). Beach was nice but didn’t look like pictures on Booking.com. Comfy loungers. Large bed and spacious room. Aircon and Wi-Fi worked well. Hotel was close to airport and 10 min drive from stone town. Locals were nice on the beach. The cats were super friendly and looked like they were looked after. Pool was nice. Manager asked us for our opinion on hotel before leaving and listened to our considerations which was nice.
TroyUnited Kingdom - From $81 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 792 reviewsForodhani is my second home in Stone Town. 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.
AussieSouth Africa - From $21 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,004 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
- From $74.88 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 2,136 reviewsThe staff is amazing. Food at the restaurant is good. Rooftop is nice. Location is right in the middle of Stone Town. This hotel allows you to be a part of the city without being contaminated by tourism. I recommend the hotel if you want to breath the local culture and encounter locals. 2/3 nights is enough. Not recommended if you are looking for a European fancy beach with 5 stars service and no contact with local culture.
kristian AndersenNorway - From $112 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 394 reviewsPerfect location on the beach in Stone Town with all the amenities you need. The staff were very helpful. The decor is lovely and we enjoyed two pools. The breakfast selection was expansive. We had a big family room in a nearby building with a bathroom that was huge. On the last day, we stored our bags at the hotel while we did a morning tour of Prison Island. Great place to stay.JillUnited States of America
