Our host was friendly (edit: until she read this review and became dishonest and insulting) and generally available. She checked on us frequently and offered her help. The house and garden are spacious and well-decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped. The location is quiet and secure. Edit : Im sorry that you don’t accept any review which is not 10 out of 10 without calling your guest lier. I firstly gave good (7) but after your response my experience with this property and its host became disappointing (4). I informed you about the water in the kitchen on August 14th at 8:12am. You answered me at 8:14 “…I’ll pass by a bit later to show you how it works” assuming we misused the washing machine. I checked out on August 15th. The leak was reported more than one day before check out and not “a few hours before” as you claimed. That’s a shame we are not authorized to attach screenshot of watsapp conversation. It would show clearly who is the lier here. About the staff, you speak only about the cleaner which was effectively announced each times. The staff for the garden, the swimming pool and the roof came unannounced each times. That’s why I wrote “MOSTLY”. I understood that it didn’t disturb your other guests by reading other reviews that’s why I wrote “to our liking”. I can’t be more accurate than that. I’m sorry that you find my remark about outside activities (full moon party, quad, horse riding, sunset dhow cruise…) irrelevant but I disagree. In my opinion it’s connected to the property and especially its location. Most activities are located in Nungwi and Kendwa, it’s 1h30min far from the property and will cost 50$ by taxi each times. It’s my mistake to not check locations before. I just reviewed this to avoid others to do the same mistake. Lastly my comment about the beach is totally accurate, the property is “far from the beautiful beaches…” I never spoke about your advertisement or suggested anything about it. Your advertisement is totally accurate.

Great location, close to the main part of Stone Town but in a quiet spot. Staff were lovely and accommodating and connected me to a great local tour guide company. Loved spending time on the vine covered terrace on the beach just reading my book. Two nice pools. I stayed in a newly renovated city view room on the street side of the hotel which was huge and very comfortable. Loved my few days staying here.

    We had a great stay at the Balcony House, they are really family friendly and made our 4 year old feel welcome and safe. Saidi on the front desk was very helpful and kind, we enjoyed his friendly chilled manner. The location was great with a bakery opposite and a short walk to all tourist attractions as well as a nice little water side cafe with affordable food. We felt very at home and want to stay back here at the end of our trip!
