The owners are amazing, Max & Elena were so friendly with us and helpful with whatever we needed. Also they contacted us through whatsapp before we come to make sure everything is clear with their facility, restaurants recommendations, breakfast timings, and more. They made great decorations for me & my daughter birthday. Also they provided a yummy fruity cake. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit Zanzibar, the place is near the beach only two min away. Near all the activities, and local shops, and restaurants. Max was very welcoming, they have friendly dog that my daughter loved alot. I LOVED the place so much, definitely gonna stay here again if am back to Zanzibar.

Perfect location, perfect size, perfect service--the place is a real gem. I took advantage of the total quiet to have a relaxed, zero-effort vacation and was perfectly satisfied, but it would be a great spot to explore from with tours as well. Can't recommend it highly enough, everything you need in one place, like a mini-resort experience without the crowds and price gouging.

This was hands down the best place to stay in Zanzibar! I was looking for somewhere quiet to relax with amazing sunset views, and this spot couldn’t have been more perfect. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the chef even taught me some Swahili! The staff were incredible: always friendly, attentive, and going out of their way to make sure everything was just right. It’s the little things that really stood out. On my last day, I had a late-night flight and was going to miss breakfast. Without me even asking, they packed one up for me to take on my trip. That kind of thoughtfulness says everything about how much they care for their guests. I’d 100% recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat if I get the chance to visit Zanzibar again!

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always making me feel at home. The rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable, offering the perfect place to relax. The common areas are truly impressive — from the dining space to the pool — surrounded by tall, lush palm trees that create a tropical and relaxing atmosphere. Every detail made the experience unforgettable, in special the atenttion of the manager Evangelina.

We really enjoyed our stay at AVO Boutique Hotel. The beach right below the hotel was calm and beautiful – the perfect place to unwind away from the crowds. Our room was comfortable and always clean. One of the highlights was the food – every meal was delicious, so much so that we didn’t even bother eating anywhere else! The owner and the team were all super kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. It’s a quiet, cozy place with great vibes – we can't recommend it enough :)

It was 3-4 minutes walking distance to the beach, but more importantly, it was so close to the most famous beach. The food we ate at their restaurant was very enjoyable, I recommend it. They had tables in the middle of the pool, it was a nice experience to play backgammon with my friend there. I thank the whole team, see you again in the future 👋🏼👋🏼🏖️

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city. They have an organized transport system for tourists . I travelled to Nungwi beach and it was really a beautiful place. It was not crowded and the water was very clear and the water sports activities and so many . There are very many eateries all around . I would highly recommend Zanzibar.

    Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

    Kiwengwa is a perfect place to spend time with the family. Exquisit nature, kind people and the best food. Boat trips, beach activities, village strolls, getting to know the culture of local people who are very knowlegeable about the natural agriculture and extreemly kind and nice. We loved every minute of our stay at Kiwengwa.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.

    This is not a touristy location... it is off the beaten track... a village, by the sea, with an increasing number of resorts being added. I hope it does not lose its charm to the crowds. This is a quiet, special place.

    Michamvi is good for relaxing and enjoying . There are few vendors and they are not disturbing you and friendly. We stayed 25 days at Kikoi Boutique Resort and arranged all excursions on Zanzibar as well as a Safari with Sir Alex at Kikoi for reasonable prices and with good service . Their Cook Mister Mahaveer Sing is a real Master Chef and we enjoyed every meal he prepared us . Compliments to all the people working there. You made our stay unfogettable.
