Helwas is an absolute paradise. The entire ambience of the accommodation is beautifully laid out in the interplay between wonderful plants and white sand, with the Indian Ocean right in front of the door.
The rooms are spacious, very clean and lovingly decorated. The use of natural materials (throughout the entire area) is particularly impressive. The food is excellent and the cozy atmosphere - especially at evenings with some local live music - clearly stands out from the very touristy centers.
The owners are very welcoming and helpful! All organizational questions (excursions, etc.) were clarified immediately. The personal exchange and interaction with one another exudes a particularly friendly atmosphere. As also the entire staff does who are very warm and accommodating.
We felt comfortable being there the whole time! I can definitely recommend this place!

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.

Wonderful host Carol. Right on the beach. Shared shower and toilet etc but the host makes up for everything if this might put you off. Try this place please. This is for back packers I guess but everyone should experience a place like this. You don't often get the chance to stay in a lovingly decorated and maintained property with a host whose authenticity and honesty shines through everything. And we only stayed ONE NIGHT!! I wish we could have stayed longer but we had other plans. As we waited for the taxi to arrive to leave, she made tea for us and gave us a home made pineapple ice lolly! What more could you want!!??

Our stay at Duara Beach in Paje was truly unforgettable! The location, right on the kite beach, is absolutely stunning and makes this place the perfect retreat to fully enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar. While the accommodation is simple, it provides everything you need for a relaxing vacation.
From the moment we arrived, Fatima and Haji welcomed us with such warmth, making us feel at home. Their hospitality was always present and contributed greatly to our overall comfort. We especially appreciated the little touches like the complimentary coffee, tea, and refillable water.
Every morning, we were treated to a freshly prepared breakfast, which was a real delight, and the rooms were cleaned daily to ensure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. Thanks to Fatima and Haji’s attentive care, our holiday turned into a true highlight. We will definitely be back!
A big thank you to our hosts for this unforgettable experience!

Travellers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. This simple accommodation is in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
It’s a very quiet location with not too many people on the beach with very few locals hassling you to buy stuff or go on trips. The accommodation is very rustic and gives a real Island feel. The staff are amazing. Every single one of them were very friendly and helpful.
Great house with nice rooms and nice garden views. If you are looking for quiet place to relax it is a good choice. Lovely swimming pool and lots of places to relax, read books and enjoy sun. Close to the beach and beach restaurants. Hans and Lisa are great hosts. They are supported by friendly and helpful staff. You feel here like at home! Highly recommended.
Perfect for relaxing days on the beach. During our stay the high tides were in the early hours, so the morning swimming and beach walks were superb. The locals on the beach are not intrusive and left us alone to relax after a short conversation. We had long breakfasts under the palms and frangipani trees. The on-site bar & restaurant is excellent, the food quality and variety were ideal for our stay of 2 nights and 3 days. Our sincerest thanks to Joseph and Josephat for the delicious cocktails and excellent service.
A perfect accommodation for everyone, who looks for a relaxing place on Zanzibar! Great hosts who really make you feel at home, great place (lovely rooms including mosquito nets over the bed, fireplace, beautiful garden), great location (almost any place on the east coast can be visited for a day trip), quiet beach within 5 minutes walking distance, great breakfast (fruits grown in the own garden + local fresh bread + tee/coffee + fresh juice) - just great. We extended our stay and would even have extended further but holidays were over.
We had a great time there and can only recommend it to everyone! House and garden are very spacious and clean with lots of privacy. The pool, terrace and garden are huge and we enjoyed every second there. Lots of great places to sit!
Also Roberto and Ricardo are great hosts! They helped us with all we needed and were quick and friendly all the time.
The breakfast was very good and plentifull, especially the fresh italian pastries we got every morning. We can only recommend it to everyone who wants to relax
Nadja is a really good host. very smiling and friendly :) helpful in everything. The place we are staying is a safe, clean and quiet place. very close to the beach. I had a really good 2 days. Thank you so much to Nadja and her mom :)
Everything. We have NEVER been to such a relaxing four days in our many years of holidays. Forget your 5* hotels, and watch the real world go by to a few good books. The tides rises & falls, you fall asleep and wake to the sound of the waves. Delicious food and drink. Soft gentle music and great hosts. This is truly a Paradise away from Developers. A wonderful simple tonic, to heal your very soul.
Great hosts that take care of you during the whole stay. Amazing breakfast and option to eat lunch/dinner in the hotel restaurant as well. It is a small paradise far from the rush of the city. Highly recommended.
This was one of the best stay I have ever had, the hospitality, the good vibe, beautiful view on one of the best beaches of Zanzibar and the incredible delicious food! Meet the locals on the beach, take a bike to Paje beach, see the monkeys in the Jozani forest and relax, enjoy the scenery.
