The property was beautiful. Very spacious and clean. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was very good. Very chilled and relaxing.

Nothing

The breakfast was delicious. There was many options to choose from and the home made bread was not to miss. Paulette was so generous she prepared baguettes especially for us to take home when we were leaving... plus her famous Belgian waffles. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help.The room was spacious and clean with a huge terrace and beautiful view from the Indian ocean. There were sun beds on the terrace and a sofa . The bed was comfortable and the shower strong and pleasant. What we liked most was the dinner time around the table with the other guests of the hotel with Paullette's delicious meals, the talks and the stories we shared with the other guests and the host Paullette. We felt like home away from home.

If you like spending time on the beach this is probably not he best place. The kids from the village followed us around, demanding money and things from us, like my hair clip and earrings. We have been to many places in Zanzibar, we are well aware of the living of the locals and they are really nice and genuine people but for the first time we were so much disturbed on the beach. The place was a bit isolate, no shops or activities around but it did not bother us as we had a car and was able to move around.

very relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot for a quiet, relaxed getaway. Amazing food and hospitality. Gorgeous room with quirky decor

Thank you Didier et Paulette, your hosts feel like at home!

1. There were ants in the bed. 2. After arriving we were informed we could use the air conditioning only after 7pm. This was changed when we complained about the ants in the bed. 3. The water pump/ pressure was shut off after 9pm. So no water to shower in the night. 4. You have to notify them about dinner way in advance. We were told the kitchen was shut once when we asked for food and the second time when we asked for dinner in the afternoon we were told the dinner was already filled and there was no more room. 5. The owners upon us seeing us check out, 4 days earlier than we intended, did not even ask us about our stay or our reason for leaving. It was only about the contract and them making their money. There was absolutely no hospitality at this property. We got no refund and chose to leave without even bringing it up again. Even though the above things are not mentioned in their booking page. The first time we asked for a refund they kept showing us the contract from the website. And said atleast if we stay we can use the air conditioning all day(wow). I signed the contract on the basis that we get a air conditioned room, water to shower with and a clean bed. Not a ant infested bed. Their answer was “this is Africa”. I have travelled in Africa before and stayed on a ground floor and never had ants in the bed. I am highly allergic to insect bites which I informed them of. They did not even offer to move us to another room. Maybe the first night they didn’t have availability but I could see they did have rooms available after that. I have travelled a lot and stayed at a lot of places, from Airbnb and booking.com and unfortunately this was my most disappointing travel experience ever. As well as my first negative review. Luckily the neighbouring property was extremely hospitable and served us a meal at 11 o clock in the night and included us in their NYE celebrations.

The villa is good, the staff is good, strong wi fi

poor and dirty beach, too many local people due to the village next to the villa

Amazing stay! Everything was perfect: beautiful rooms, clean, modern, relaxing and cozy common areas for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Very friendly and welcoming owners: we felt like we were at home! Food was exceptional! And finally a very good location, on a nice white sand beach where you can spend hours just watching activities of the locals from the village, the fish market being very close by, you see the fishermen life. In short, many thanks Paulette and Didier for making our stay unforgettable.

Delicious food cooked by the host.
