Our lodge under the lighthouse and stars, the beautiful nature and birds, crabs, activities, delicious food and hospitality of the staff. It was very interesting to talk to the manager and learn more about the environment, research and protection of the reef. Good luck with your good work!

Zenj House is simply fantastic. Great location, very calm - we even got served English breakfast with fresh juice. The host / host family is the nicest and most helpful you will ever meet and will go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be (e.g., order great Indian food at night, help find things at the airport’s lost and found). Thanks again for everything! Can only recommend 150% to anyone.

Amazing location. Wonderfully Historical. Fabulously entertaining interior layout of rooms. Very quirky and surprisingly quaint.

Excellent breakfast! Room and hotel area was clean. Located in the middle of Stone Town. When you learn some routes, you do not get lost. Before that, just take it as an adventure!

The hotel is situated in the very centre of Stone Town, you wouldn‘t wish for a better location. It is not directly on the beach but both walking to the beach and to numerous restaurants and cafes is just matter of couple of minutes. The hotel itself is in oriental style that gives it some special charm. The restaurant is on the roof which is not so high but the views make you feel like in the 18th century, which we found interesting. The staff is very friendly but they do not always address to the mentioned problems. One can feel a bit of lack of professionalism in the sphere but because they are all nice young people, it is not a big problem, one can always improve themselves:) The breakfast was good, not very different from the breakfast in other hotels on the island. As usual you get fruit and then can choose from salty and sweet options of breakfast. The room was very small but in fact there was enough space for our stuff and clothes, and you have everything you usually need in hotels, the bed was big and good but it takes most of the space in the room, so do not expect moving around much in the room because there is not much room:)) The bathroom was not small and I would call it comfortable what refers to the facilities, but we could not get hot water even though we turned the switch on and waited for a really long time, so we had to shower with cold water every day and though we told the staff about it, it was not fixed (either not possible or forgotten). The shower heads (both the big and the small ones) were very old and even rusty, the small hand shower was not functioning at all, so we had to use the big one and make our hair wet even when we did not want it. The shower switch remained in my hand the very first time I tried to turn it on, and I barely touched it.

Qiteness of the location

Just cleanliness and beauty hotels

Atmosphere, games

Room is clean, space is good.

I loved my room and high bed, it was very romantic. Fast wifi worked well all around the hotel. Hotel decorations, traditional lamps, doors, paintings, wardrobes etc were really unique, stunning. The hotel was colorful and charming inside. Attention to detail. Mosquito net around bed. Great location, easy to walk around the entire old town, just a 2-minute walk to the ferry terminal and a few more minutes to the beach. Cute bathrobes in my room. Restaurant at the main floor.
