2. Jafferji House

Stone Town

"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

Maya, her husband & the staff, Husna,...

Arusha

"With such a low daily cost, I was worried it would be minimal. But to my pleasant surprise, the room I was given was very modern looking. It had its own bathroom, and plugs for charging along with strong WiFi. Nice comfortable queen sized bed and a bunk bed. Deborah and her husband were very attentive hosts. They arranged transportation to the airport for me. The meals were low priced, tasty and plentiful. The compound has a basketball court as advertised. There were also fruit trees and...

Kiwengwa

"Ottima struttura per visitare e godersi la costa est di Zanzibar. Camere essenziali ma confortevoli, pulite e moderne. Staff super, Roberta e i colleghi ti fanno sentire davvero a casa. 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! "

Top Tanzania Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Dar es Salaam by IHG

8/10 Good

"Comfortable stay. Very friendly staff. I had to call housekeeping to clean the room floors. The hallways should also be vacuumed."

The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The Mora is a beautiful property. It’s very peaceful and aesthetically pleasing!! The rooms are extremely clean and large. The staff is very welcoming and engaging. Welcome snacks and a drink were provided on arrival. A bit of honesty for other readers considering staying here: I wasn’t a fan of the buffet food, mostly Indian. The other restaurants are by reservation only and the steak house was fully booked my entire stay. So I would advise to book ahead. And the resort is over an hour from Stonetown however, I still thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would return!"

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good

"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."

Tembo Kiwengwa Resort

8/10 Good

"I don't really stay in resorts so I don't have much to compare. The grounds, facilities and rooms were immaculate and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from my room was stunning and the beach was also immaculate. Some things did come up that made my stay a little less enjoyable. This is an alcohol free resort, this was my fault for not realizing but there were restaurants nearby that served alcohol We left our previous hotel to catch a flight to Zanzibar at 4am. We arrived at the hotel starving. Unfortunately it was in between breakfast and lunch so no food options. We were advised that there were restaurants that serve all day which was not the case for us. We went door to door and were told 12:30. We finally found one and it took 1 hr and 15 minutes for our food which was past 12:30! We would have been fine with a premade sandwich Other minor things, we could not have 2 keys for our room so my friend and I couldn't really do our own thing without one of us being locked out. It also would have been helpful to have an ATM nearby. We wanted to leave tips but ran of of cash"
