The food there was WONDERFUL and at fair prices. The pool was great for spending time there in a shadow, because at the beach it was too Hot. The staf was super friendly.

The owners of Demani Lodge were kind, friendly and helpful. The lodge was the most beautiful location. They took excellent care of the landscaping. It was very tropical and clean. The pool was perfect! We appreciated they had a large ceiling fan in each room and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond for us and always showed generous hospitality. The staff was also very timely with cleaning the rooms daily and left flowers/leaves on the bed. Overall, the food was very good and the free breakfast was enjoyable. The lodge location was just across the street from the beach. Taxi's were easy to get to town and surrounding areas. Paje beach was awesome. Perfect sand and great restaurants. I also enjoyed the high tide/low tide each day. We loved the turtles at Prison Island and celebrated Christmas Day at The Rock Restaurant, which we highly recommend.

It was paceful and we had the best accomodation with our bathroom. The other had shared bathrooms on the ground floor.

Nicely located at the quiet end of the Paje beach towards Jimbilani. Much more relaxed than being right in the thick of it but with enough nightlife of its own if you choose. Breakfast was consistent and staff were all great. Would definitely stay again if I came back

I enjoyed the fact that there was relative silence and that the Music was soft and not blaring as is often the case in such lodges. The pool area is your best selling Point. Staff and Management were very helpful and Kind. Due to a good Response on the Internet I also felt safe and acknowledged. Thank you.

“Excellent in terms of comfort, cleanness and price but there are shortcomings”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
The beach is only few minutes’ walk but this part of the beach is practically slippery rocks covered with dead seaweeds and seagrasses. In order to find a decent part of the beach you need to walk around 15 minutes more. The ‘centre’ of Paje where you can find nice cafes and shops is 25-30’ walk. In practice you have to stay inside the lodge and consume what is offered there. That wouldn’t be so bad if there was at least reliable internet but there was not. WiFi at the reception was weak and, even worse, HALOTEL 3G was even weaker.
This is a very beautiful, cozy, comfortable, budget friendly and immaculately clean lodge.

There is a difference in the quality of rooms you can get, some are a bit more luxurious and spacious where others are more like a beachy tree house. Also the beach is a bit further away compared to other places, but the nice swimming pool definitely compensates for it.
Food on the premises was excellent, nice breakfast that was included. The party on Thursday was also nice and fun, good vibes. The staff were really helpful and we got a real personal experience. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here

Amazing place, the staff and owners were wonderful. The food is excellent! Haji was a great tour director, take the spice tour when you head to stone town, the meal in the jungle is worth it alone! Will definitely recommend Demani too anyone, the pool is super nice and the grounds are beautiful!

“Great lushy holiday”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 5 nights
Having a simple ''do not disturb'' sign to put on the door. As our bungalow did not have a line for wet clothes ( some others did) it would have been helpful to have hangers inside the room as it was difficult to dirt wet clothes/beach towels.
Beautiful lush garden, stylish bungalows and relaxing pool.

The Lodge is quite far away from Paje center (but with Taxi is just 5 minutes).
The atmosfere was very nice, the staff were also very helpful, there was no problem to leave a baggage for two extra hours. The pool is great. They have mosquito nets and ventilators. :)

“Demani Lodge was exactly what we were looking for in Zanzibar. We would absolutely stay there again!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 12 nights
We had to ask for towels, they did not come in the room. We used the same towels for 8 days. We had to ask to change out the towels. It would be nice if there was a chair inside the room, although we could have taken one off the porch. A larger variety of fruit for breakfast would be nice, instead of the daily, watermelon/pineapple/orange combo. A Demani list of "top-fav's of Zanzibar" would be nice, instead of hunting through advertisements. Didn't really love crossing a busy road to get to the beach, but the savings was worth the short walk. The stairs to the beach absolutely needs another step at the end, it was as high as my thigh and difficult to use and it is the only access. We had to help one another up/down. They only have one ATM in town and it was out of money twice. We did hear they have plans to put in more, good thing!
