Best place we have stayed in Zanzibar! This place looks exactly as in pictures or even better! This was the last place we have stayed in Zanzibar and when we have arrived it was hot, we were tired and my partner was not sure about the place until he saw the Zanzistar beach place! And honesty I think you fall in love with the place when it gets dark. It's so cosy with little details and lights! Restaurant in the banana garden is out of space! We have also loved our bungalow! It was spacious and always clean! Also big shout out to Simon, George and Esma ( I am not sure if the name is correct but the lady that works with the guys) they are fantastic! Very friendly, chatty and a great company! Also Peter is the the actual star of the hotel! We have felt very welcome! It was sad to leave the place! Would come back any day no doubt! <3

Breakfast was amazing. Fresh fruit and juice then either eggs, pancakes, avocado, anything you could want. The rooms are spacious and clean. You’re with walking distance to the beach and loads of lovely places to eat, there are a few spas on the beach as well if you fancied a massage!

A hidden gem in Jambiani Zanzibar. We were welcomed by the entire family who run this accommodation together. Haji and his wife are super hospitable and you can feel the love they both put in their place! The room is well equipped, nice airco, fans and good shower. Less than 1 minute from the beach! You even have your own shady seating area in front of the room. She made us a lovely tasty dinner on the day of our arrival. The three daughters are so sweet and came to talk to us a lot. This way the oldest girl learns English. In the morning we had breakfast and it was not only very tasteful (eggs and bread) but the fruit platter and juice were out of this world! When we said our goodbye’s today it felt like saying goodbye to friends! Hope you stay well and wish you all the best to you and your beautiful family Haji!

Really dedicated friendly and nice team. helps you with all kind of Requests (taxi,trips, restaurant recomendations). beautiful restaurant/beachbar with small but delicious menu. The fact that the hotel is not that big makes a very comfortable and homely atmosphere. Great in every aspect. keep it up guys!

The accommodation is 200 m away from the beach and numerous restaurants and beach bars. Trevor was an amazing host and took his time to show me around Zanzibar and teach me some of the local lingo. I really enjoyed my stay at Gecko house.

The view is fantastic. Each room setting is unique, and attention to the traditional African style techniques is exquisite. Above all, THE PEOPLE!!!! They smiles will follow my memories for a very long time. the food, and the hospitality were all exceptional. A special mention goes to Hidaya, Stela our assistant for the few days we stayed. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home, keeping us entertained and ensuring our stay was perfect.
