We had an incredible stay at Chunga Changa! Although we were only there for one night, it was truly unforgettable. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the food. Every dish we tried was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavors. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, Mr Kitipu the manager is a gem making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The ambiance of the place was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Zanzibar!

Perfect vacation accommodation, designed in the style of Zanzibar, located right on the coast with a beautiful beach. The room is spacious, with the option of using air conditioning and fans, and has a lovely terrace. There's a beautifully landscaped yard with a pool (which is realistically unnecessary when you have the sea) and a large terrace on the adjacent building where you can stay and dine. Food si great and the prices are acceptable. Communication with the owner was excellent; they offered and organized some local activities, car rental, and a visit to a nearby school. A special commendation goes to the staff who were more than excellent.

We stayed at Villa Tulia as a group of 6 and had an absolutely amazing experience. The villa is stunning, very clean, and comes with great amenities. What truly made our stay special was the incredible staff – Paul, the always-helpful property manager, the resident chef who prepared delicious meals, the housekeepers, security team, and gardeners – everyone was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Every morning we were treated to a fantastic breakfast with a wide variety of fresh options, which we looked forward to daily. The villa is perfect if you're looking for privacy and peace – it has direct access to the beach, and most days it felt like we had the entire shore to ourselves, free from vendors or crowds. We also felt very safe, with round-the-clock security. The beach is ideal for long walks, morning swims, or stargazing at night – truly magical. There's also a small kitchen available if you ever feel like cooking. Also worth mentioning is Sam, the villa’s recommended driver, who was amazing and stayed with us throughout our entire trip. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and enriched our rides with fascinating insights about Zanzibar. He also helped us organize excursions and day trips, making everything smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a quiet, luxurious, and private stay in Zanzibar with top-notch service, Villa Tulia is the place to go. We can’t thank the whole team enough – we had an unforgettable stay and would return in a heartbeat!

Absolutely exceptional property and location, with wonderful friendly staff and everything perfectly maintained. The only (very minor) comment I would have is that the food could have been a bit more imaginative...but it's still excellent value for money.

An amazing stay at Milele Villas. We got welcomed by Hannes the manager and our personal staff with a welcome drink. Both very friendly and welcoming gentleman. Hannes referred to have a candle light dinner out at the seaside, which we gladly agreed to. It was a sweet, romantic experience. Tell your wish and it gets fulfilled, and sometimes you don't even have to tell. Very attentive staff. All food is cooked or baked freshly and served at the time wished for. Even breakfast marmalade was homemade. Everywhere it's spotless clean. It is safe and a quiet relaxing atmosphere. A real little paradise and gem on Zanzibar. Manager and staff were exceptional! Asante sana sana!
