4 Star Hotels in Stone Town, Zanzibar Town

"The service was exceptional. Very friendly and caring staff. "

"This was an amazing boutique property with pleasant and very helpful staff. With all that said, the only negative is the immediate area/neighborhood outside of the gate. The management should spend more to enhance the standard of the area and help the people living in that area. This would make it more inviting for guests like us who wanted to go fora walk the area."

"I stayed here for a week and every day I felt welcomed. I’ve already recommend this location to all my friends and family."

"Beautiful old building with charm. Very friendly and helpful staff. "

"Gorgeous hotel, super relaxing, delicious pool. Staff super nice and helpful. Activities on certain days. Be aware of tide changes but that's across all the island. "

"If you are on business trip or leisure and you want to be close to city and airport this is ideal location. The rooms are huge and very cozy. All rooms have Sea View and it has number of small boats for rent... like for fishing etc. Over the weekend there is waterpark which comes to life and it is amazing."

"Nice place to stay, however u can hear the noise from the hallway n next door. I wish they had grab bars near the toilet seat which is quite low. Older people with arthritic knees like me would have problem rising from the seat. Other than that the hotel is very pleasant. "

"Highly recommend the Marafiki Beach Hotel & Spa In Zanzibar. Picturesque location on beautiful & luscious grounds with authentic sounds of nature, the feel of tranquility, and all your needs catered to by efficient & friendly staff. On our 1st day there, we arrived late in the day and the kitchen stayed open just to serve us a hot meal. Gorgeous Outdoor seating, which is always my preference, with bowls of locally grown fresh fruits and homemade breads prepared for us to share with one other....

"I think this place is just a BEST KEP SECRET. It was absolutely stunning, the staff and manager are just so warm and hospitable. I have been telling all my U.S. friends about it because I would come again in a heart beat!"

"Very nice place- the AC works great, the breakfast is tasty and the lady who serves it is nice. The only thing is the front desk guys usually are a bit strange. also being on the 4th floor it's a bit of a hassle to go up & down for every little thing- batteries for the AC control, key for safe, additional towel etc"

"Couldn’t fault anything! Such a lovely and very boutiquey hotel with extremely comfortable beds. The staff were great - we arrived very late due to delayed flight but were welcomed and shown everything in the room. Breakfast was delicious - great fruit platters, decent coffee, lovely omelettes and probably best chapatis I’ve had anywhere. And breakfast staff also super friendly. Finally - they have a water and hot drinks station outside the rooms so you can help yourself - lovely touch. If...

"We decided to visit Zanzibar to get our dream beach wedding. The location, organisation and helpful staff of Diamonds Mapenzi Beach made it better that we could ever imagine and beyond our wildest dreams. "

"The property is hidden, and a small walk from the main Tembo hotel, but what makes up for it is the wonderful staff. Their friendliness, and willing to assist you at everything. The breakfast menu was amazing, a mix of everything which was very pleasant. The rooms can use alittle bit of an upgrade, and they should probably prohibit photo sessions from people on the streets, as there was alot of flash on the outside (but maybe an exception because of the public holiday). I would definitely stay...

"Staff was friendly and accommodating. Chose the hotel for proximity to airport since I had a 3am flight. (Walkable distance but not in the middle of the night) Their charge for the 3min drive was exorbitant, so I arranged on my own. "

"Loved it!"

"Very nice location and centrally based. "

"Excellent staff, food was great, very comfortable beds and nice size room, downsize is not much to do around, beach is about 10 minutes away by car. "

"We had a wonderful stay at the Jafferji House. Rooms were large and clean, excellent AC and good wifi (although limited availability in the room, moreso in the lobby). Nice included rooftop breakfast and kind and helpful staff. Would definitely return!"

"The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable with interesting wood furniture. Overall, nice, clean and enjoyable. Massage was great. More sophisticated and relaxed than Stone Town and close to the airport. The restaurant is good but prepare for taking it pole, pole."

"I enjoyed the hotel and its facilities . The staff was great , very friendly and helpful. The hotel is been renewed so i should deal with some noise during my staying."
