Hotels in Bububu

room is clean, breakfast is freshly made. it is worthy and nice hotel.

Excellent stay at this lovely hotel! I can’t recommend it enough. It was an incredible price for the location and service. Very comfortable and clean room, great location near everything but on a quiet, tucked away block. Fabulous service and assistance from all of the staff. Arriving a bit late to breakfast hours and hoping maybe I can grab a bit of left over fruit- “no problem” and served me a full...

The staff are very kind and helpful The sheif is very good Breakfast is simple and fresh and super tasty Love yhe stay

The hotel has a great location, situated near the beach in Stone City, next to the Hyatt Park Hotel. The hotel is very clean, the service is good, and the breakfast on the top floor is excellent!

I don't recommend it... everything is very old, the plumbing is yellow, the furniture is rusty, the price does not correspond to reality

Stayed at this hotel for two days with my wife ,the hotel stuff were very friendly and helpful made our stay memorable would not mind to stay here when I visit stone town again.

This hotel is definitely not a 4-star property as advertised. The reception manager was not particularly friendly or welcoming, which made the experience less pleasant. The rooms were ok with very few amenities. That said, there are some positives. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruit and delicious local pastries offered each morning. Abdulhamid was especially helpful — he went out of his...

Staff was friendly; gave great guest service. Overall stay was exceptional. Variety of breakfast options was very good. I would definitely recommend to others. Hotel is very clean and well managed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great location and overall nice hotel for Zanzibar. Very close to tourist attractions, everything on walking distance. Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was limited but with amazing fruit selection

The location is good, very close to the sea, and next to the castle (one of the castles) of Stone Town. The front desk is nice, the room is big and clean, with hot water. After climbing Kilimanjaro and safari in the Serengeti, it felt like a break for the first time. Breakfast was barely edible.

Nice hotel. Great location.They had a nice roof top but too bad no roof top bar.

We slayed at this hotel for almost two weeks. It is next to water front and one can enjoy the beautiful evenings at water front without loss of time. Further, one can make frequent visits in the streets of Stone houses. The Manager Mr. Abdullah was very helpful. He was always out to help us in any matter from finding a taxi or any other assistance needed. As one is next to the coast, a boat could...

Wonderful spot! I stop in at their rooftop restaurant every time I'm in Stone Town. The food and drinks are great, staff are friendly and helpful, and with a great view of Stone Town. Highly recommend!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The place is nice with a good customer care The food i mean lunch that we had on those two days is amazing

My wife and I had an excellent stay at Island Paradise Inn. The service, customer care, room, bed, and breakfast were all of the highest quality! I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Stone Town, Zanzibar. You are amazing 🙏🙏

I visited Paradise Inn during my trip to Zanzibar, and it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful view that made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was decent, and what really stood out was the excellent service—especially from the manager, Imran, who was incredibly helpful and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend their service to anyone in the...

I had a good stay at this hotel. It’s comfortable, affordable and simple, location was so ideal, rooms were in good condition and staff were quite friendly. Safe location as well as lots of food options around the hotel.

Good service, good breakfast, spacious and clean rooms. Close proximity to other places in the stone town. Smooth check in. Quite area. Easy to get cabs outaide. Fiendly and helpful staff. Overall very good stay. Will surely come back again!

This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy...

My room was a work of art with unique furnishings and exquisite detail

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, we arrived very early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised when they offered us breakfast and allowed us to check in early. The property itself is stunning: a beautiful historical building that has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious, elegant...

It is one of the best hotel I've ever stayed. Excellent room, staff, services. The hotel and the rooms are in traditional Zanzibar architecture style, which gave me great experience. Staff is considerate and detail oriented. The dinner at the rooftop is wonderful. One minor downside is the shower had low water pressure due to my room was in the top floor. Sometimes I had to wait for 1-2 minutes until...

The rooms were decorated well and was very clean. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Loved the rooftop for breakfast and the location was perfect.

Special place. The staff outstanding. A few remarkable days at this wonderful historic 'hotel'.

It was neither good nor bad, just average. It didn't feel very clean. What bothered me more was the large number of mosquitoes.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. However there is a bit of disturbance from rats running around during the night which is make me more scary but it’s not big deal we have been experiencing it even in other hotel in big city. Nice amazing staff and food is good. Points is very closer to the ferry which is also very nice. Super thankful for my lovely chef abillah he made my stay perfectly. Hakuna...

Nice hotel with budget pricing.

Great place, amazing people 😄

The hotel rooms are spacious with balconies and the location of the hotel is in the middle of stone town easy access to everything

Nice staff I arrived after dinner, and they thought I was a no-show so they gave up my premium room. The next day they moved me to a nice room. The place itself is definitely not fancy. But the staff were all super nice and helpful. The people in Zanzibar are pretty nice and fantastic though, so there’s that.

The hotel is on the roadside, next to a school, and quite noisy. The facilities are old, there is only soap in the bathroom, the smell in the room is not very friendly, and the most important thing is that the price is very high, and the cost performance is very low.

its a hotel locaited at town near to stone town city, Zanzibar urban town cuty, its lively place with 5 star service, not far from airport and also very near to port.

Absolutely amazing stay. Sushant , Excellent Service Gertrude at Reception very kind and Friendly. I will definitely recommend Al Johari *****

Traditional hotel in Stone town and great sea view from rooftop restaurant. Budget friendly and clean. Dedicated staff and helpful

Great location, amazing architectural history A wonderful hotel, fabulous location, bristling with architectural history - a stunning building. On the room - there was no safe; bed too big for the room layout (a big bed is a good thing); the mattress was a bit "tired"; TV channels poor - needs DSTV ..... otherwise fabulous

I paid circa $50 for one night here on a work trip. For that price I think it was a complete bargain. Location is great, no night clubs / chickens crowing next door so quiet. I didn’t have breakfast there so can’t comment on food (so many choices within a 5-10 min walk). This is not a luxury hotel like a Hyatt or Serena. Instead it’s bursting with Stone Town character, amazing location,...

Lovely staff, great location, Puzzle Coffee across the street

This is a unique property in the Stone Town area of the Zanzibar, close vicinity to the Forodha Park , the hotel is quiet and gives you a feel of the ancient times a great break from the new modern hotels

Old colonial mansion converted to a hotel; rooms on the large side with high ceilings and AC. Located just off a small square about 75m from the main road (unlit and unpaved path to get to the square, have to navigate puddles and slippery mud after it rains). Doesn't offer food other than a basic breakfast A couple of the receptionists were helpful (not all) as was the lady serving breakfast. ...

✨Positive: - Nice and clean place, big room - Perfect mattress - Air conditioning - Clean - Sockets next to the bed + bedside stands - Cheap laundry service - Breakfast on the terrace (we asked for takeaway because we were leaving early and they gave us some fruit and eggs) - Very kind staff 🙈Negative: - Hard to find and in an area that feels a bit sketchy - Some of the staff (night staff?) don’t...

The location is classic, a 5-10 minute walk through Stone Town's iconic alleys. The fruit market is only a 1-2 minute walk away. The rooms are clean.

Location: Not straightforward in the given pin location, you have to go around the area to see it. Not all airport transport knows it, unless you book at the hotel reception. Its located at a very local area, you gotta be good with directions as its a maze going to and from the hotel. Its a nice experience to blend, most locals are polite and they don't really care about you. Its beside a mosque and...

This budget-friendly hotel offers great value for the price. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the rooms are well-maintained. The air conditioning works well, ensuring a comfortable stay. The bed is quite good, and the pillows are incredibly soft—definitely a highlight! While the showers could use some renovation, it's understandable given the budget-friendly pricing. One major missed opportunity...

Excellent place with wonderful service and kind staff. Some of the amenities were a little old but for they worked. Overall, the price is good for the service you get.

Very Beautiful place, clean & a lovely atmosphere The breakfast is 10/10 😅🙌 Had a lovely stay Just behind stone town & at the centre of the town great for visit around sorrounding areas They helped us through the visit 👍🙂

Service is very good and people are excellent

The front desk staff was out of this world, he explained to us how to go about town and even gave us advice on how to interact with the locals. The breakfast was exquisite 😋 the rooms are very spacious.

Great place for basic stay. Great place for a few nights. Basic.

At first I was afraid it was a scam, given the other reviews, but in fact it was not and I want to give information to skeptical readers. - Retro is managed by the same owner as Hiliki House, and they share the reception and breakfast room, but Retro's rooms are in the building next door. - The staff is very kind, especially the gentleman who waited for us until 4 am for the check-in, the structure...

Traditional hotel right in centre of town. Great location and charming roof top dining area. Comfortable cool and highly recommended.

The shower could use updating and amenities in the bedrooms (bar soap, face tissues)

It was in line with expectations. The hotel is in a good location, but it is not convenient to drive in. You need to walk a stone road to get in. The room space is a bit cramped. Because of the spacing between old buildings, the windows are basically directly next to the building opposite. I booked late and there were no other room types to choose from. I was mentally prepared in advance. There is...

The hotel is in Stone Town, close to the road outside. The breakfast is good. The restaurant is on the rooftop with a nice view of the sea. The room is clean and sanitary. It is very close to the beach and very convenient. There is also a night market nearby, but it is not recommended as it will cheat tourists. Overall, it is recommended.

Realy LOVE this hotel. Super location, beautiful old building with great views from the rooftop restaurant. comfy big rooms, nice pool, and superfriendly en helpful staff. Would defenitely come back if I have the chance.

It's good, but there is no parking space. It cost 20 dollars to park on the street.

We did not stay at this hotel but 5 stars go entirely to the male staff member standing at the entrance to the hotel today ! We got a little lost during our Stone Town exploration and required some redirection and this staff member took time out of his day to provide us with directions and also reorientate our maps. Thank you 😊

Located perfectly in the centre of Stone Town, really near Fredy Mercury’s house. The building has a cool vintage look and feel, and is well maintained. The rooms are spacious and some have a view. The lobby and corridors are full of art and green. The rooftop restaurant is perfect for breakfasts, the views there open up. We were warmly welcomed by the team and the owner Johnson, who made sure our...

Great staff! The location is perfect for exploring the city and the rooms are really big. The AC worked well and there's was a mosquito net. Highly recommended!

Decent clean hotel. Has wifi, free breakfast and air conditioning. Thr rooftop restaurant is quite nice with a beautiful view.

Really beautiful place in the center, walking distance from almost everything! I loved the breakfast that comes included in the price and the hospitality of the receptionist! The only thing is the wifi does not work in the 3rd floor and the hotwater does not work in the bathroom as weel.

Good location (closer to the center), very safe at night. Friendly and very helpful staffs. There were always check that we did not need anything. It was very nice of them and it made me feel more comfortable. Cleanliness is fine but room could be refresh as they looks a little bit outdated. Food was very good, we spent a lot of time on the rooftop (breakfast, having snacks and drinks late afternoon...

At Masons Hotel, the stay was excellent. However, I was charged two nights instead of one night: Checked in on !st August (paid 100$ cash plus 178.00 through ATM for two rooms at $85) and checked out on 2nd August As per transaction below: Please assist with a reimbersument: Share your email address for details.

It is really having a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, truely home away from home. Their services are great and the staffs are really calm and you can sense that they are experienced and respectful. I loved my stay over this Hotel

The good: The room (king size bed) I was in was spacious and comfortable and had all the services (refrigerator, toilet, wardrobes.. Etc) were provided and operational The bad: the internet connection is free BUT the system for connecting is annoying (you have a single use user and pass and you have to try every combination until you reach one that connects you)

I stayed at this hotel for 3 days during Ramadan. The room that I stayed on the first day was not comfortable. The shower was broken and the room felt congested. We quickly requested to move our room and they did. The next room was perfect. After you check in make sure u check the shower. The breakfast is not so good, a few minutes walk you can find stone town cafe/puzzle cafe. Thanks to mazsons team...

We enjoyed our stay at Asmini Palace. From the pre-trip communication with Mohammed, the manager, who kindly reserved our room for us, to the receptionist (sorry I forgot his name), the service was very welcoming. We had a triple room and the beds were very comfortable. Thank God, during our time in Stone Town the electricity was only cut during the day when we were out, so the AC worked well at night...

Ok place, good location. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but we changed it to 1 night. Try to negotiate the rates. The rooms are clean. Shower is open in the bathroom it doesn't have a partition. Water pressure is very low. There are noises in the evening from the street and you can hear the noise from the hotel lobby as the hotel is built in an old way so the rooms are not very well isolated...

Good in overall Good breakfast Helpful staff Location is within the town center

Good in overall Good breakfast Helpful staff Location is within the town center

The staff made the hotel worth staying The staff was beyond .

Very nice people, rooms are new, everything is clean

I highly recommend Shangani Hotel, the location is perfect the breakfast is delicious plus the staff are very friendly, I will recommend all of my friends to you guys. Thank you all best and expect to meet a lot of my friends who ever I met I will send them to you

The Shangani was a great base for me twice while visiting Zanzibar. The location is amazing with excellent access to local shopping and dining experiences. The hotel rooms while they are basic had great AC, excellent showers and good wifi. The Team running Shangani are excellent very accommodating always willing to help when needed. Breakfast on the rooftop is a great experience with the chefs making...

Pretty average. I don't know if it's good for the price because it was booked by our safari group, but it has all that you need. The AC is excellent, there's American movie channels. The wifi was slow at times but overall fine. The shower pressure was average, didn't get too hot when I took one. We were able to check in a little early though.

While the hotel's opulence came at a premium, the breakfast experience fell disappointingly short and my wife did not mince her words about it to the staff and management, leaving much to be desired. A stark contrast to the luxurious setting and relatively good rooms, the morning offerings were surprisingly subpar, diminishing the overall satisfaction of the stay!

A lovely hotel located centrally in Sone Town within easy walking distance of all I needed. The staff are so friendly and helpful., the rooms are plain but very clean, .breakfast was good. I will come back mostly because the staff are fabulous.

Amazing place, nice view the meal it’s test and delicious

Great hotel with a wonderful helpful staff, the location is unbeatable it was right in the downtown area

Great location next to the ferry. The staff were so kind and helped us find a taxi when we were in trouble. It’s a beautiful historic building.

Nothing to complain about. Great service, nice staff and good cleaning. Facilitys are okay and nothing more than you pay for. Good place for a couple of nights. Too much noise from the street but thats just how it is around here. Good central location.

Smiles has comfortable rooms, Good service and the location is perfect ! Everything is near by :foodplaces, forodhani, port and many more. The staff are very helpful and we had no problem. The break fast was good.

I had a great 4 day solo stay here. Staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good and great quality. Great location to walk and sightseeing the town. I really appreciated the spray for mosquitoes nightly. Will absolutely stay again. A great buy! .

I'm recently had the pleasure of staying at the Zanzibar Hotel, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The rooms were beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style, and the view from our balcony was breathtaking.

I have done many bookings by checking a hotel online largely with positive outcomes but this one, I missed properly. It was a disappointment considering its price and name. First, the access road is rough and unpaved with entrance looking a bit shady. Far from what I expected after seeing stunning images online. Secondly, for 90 USD, I expected at least a hotel with some basic facilities like a...

Megan is the absolute best manager we have ever dealt with in hotel experiences. We love Zanzibar and this is definitely a place we would stay in again. Super clean, although not directly on the water, the view on the rooftop was amazing for the sunset. 5 min walk from nighttime food market and 2 mins from the port. We had 14 pieces of luggage and we were tended to perfectly. We got engaged here...

A satisfying travel experience.

Sanitation in general, poor facilities, plastic feeling

I recently stayed at a hotel located in downtown that unfortunately had a few drawbacks. Firstly, the internet speed was very slow, which was quite frustrating as I needed to do some work during my stay. Additionally, the location of the hotel was right in the midst of busy traffic, making it quite noisy and chaotic outside. However, there were some positives to the hotel. The rooms were clean, and...

I love this place . Close to airport, quiet, with beautiful, friendly nice staff 😍. food is fresh and delicious. Cons: rooms is not brand new, sometimes electricity goes out. but that's ok. we will definitely come back

Very friendly staff, nice service

One of the most attentive staff. It was just a short stay but they’ve done everything for our comfort. Best place for a short stay ! Highly recommended !

We stayed there just for one day and it's all about your expectations. Hotel are 5 min a way from airport I think that is why it a bit overpriced. They have AC and fan which is good but as for me...to dark room and not enough air...very dusty. 80% of the time wifi are not working. Restaurant are OK...but be prepared for million flies around while you eating 🙈

Room are so good and adorable staff are helpful and good services 🥰

Great experience and service at affordable price. Bed and breakfast for 2 cost 80,000tsh. Breakfast on the roof with sea view is amazing they serve fruits omelet chapati and tea. Located near the ferry 5 - 10 mins walk. Service wise, they need to improve on providing toiletries and water. Wifi is available on each floor. Thank you for your services.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Ok location if you are heading to the ferry. But a bit tucked away. I wouldn't recommend for solo travelers. The price is a bit high for what you get. The rooms are simple and a bit sad looking. But they have everything you need: fan, AC, hot and cold shower with good preasure. The breakfast on the rooftop is quite disappointing. This place could be so much...

It is good for the price. It is near a fish market so expectedly it smells a bit like fish. The rooftop breakfast was great and the people that work there are eager to help. The plumbing in the bathroom could use an upgrade.

Really nice stay on a budget! The service was amazing, we got a lot of help from the reception and especially their offer for different tourist activities (for a good price) was much appreciated. Did blue safari, spice tour and city tour, and would have loved to try even more if our stay was longer. Wifi, functional breakfast with fruits, tea, juice and eggs, a nice location close to the ferry port...

Very good hotel not too far from ferry and with reasonable prices . Building in and out looks like it was built or remodelled not long time ago so you can expect many things still like new here. Nice terrace on the rooftop where you can have awesome breakfast at mornings. Highly recommend!

It was such a pleasant experience to stay at this wonderful place. The location was peaceful, calm and the staff were really kind and always available whenever needed.10/10, would go back there again. 🫶

I was a guest here last year and now a resident. It is a great location and beautiful place. Mary is our Manager with a beautiful heart. I'm always so happy to come home after traveling. The staff (now family) help me with everything from, health, shopping, logistics and Cooking. Safe, friendly clean with a beautiful clean pool There so much I can say nice about here but not enough space. Peace and...

john and mary are very good people they helped me in my journey with kindness and admiring to serve me with all of their heart thanks for being there for me and inshallah I will meet you again 🤍🤍🤍🫡

Nice place good services it ain't that expensive it enables different kind of people go at that place

It is far from stone town(25 minutes), Breakfast is very bad and there is no lunch and dinner. You need to go to stone town and need to pay for to go and coming back 20$ every day for lunch and dinner. Single matres is very hard, not confortible. You can't sleep on that matress more than one hour up to morning. Swiming pool is small but was very clean and good.

Amazing staff. Highly recommend staying here. It’s walking distance to stone town. Rooms were clean and had air con.

1. Friendly staff 2. A walk to Stone Town 3. For families with our "kittens", there's a room for that 4. Included breakfast but you will have to outsource lunch and dinner (aplenty in Stone Town)

My stay at this hotel was excellent.The owners of this hotel are very good.They are hands on and very active and always ready to help.The rooms are clean and tidy and have a working air conditioning system.Therefore,i will not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others

Seeing the reviews I was a bit worried about this one but they were great! Communication was a bit sporadic prior to the stay, but once I called them and got their number, they were brilliant. They were super apologetic about any miscommunications, arranged us a bus pick up from the ferry port for our group (even though it's close by) and upgraded one of our rooms. The staff were lovely, rooms very...

Best place in Stone Town in Zanzibar Island to explore the cultural of Zanzibarian people and the all amzing experience at town. And everything's fine And we recommend 👌 To stay for you And your friends Zanzibar is more than just a destination—it’s an experience that captivates your soul from the moment you arrive. With its stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality, this island is truly...

Hotel is cheap, location is good for port. Air con did not work first night as control was broken - the hotel noticed this on showing us to the room but chose to ignore and not tell us so uncomfortable 1st night. Housekeeping kept turning off the hot water in the room so no hot water for duration of stay. Wi-Fi is incredibly annoying - you need a voucher from reception every time you re-enter the hotel...
