The fact that we stayed for 2 extra nights says a lot. Rooms were big and clean and the hosts made us feel at home. After previous, more expensive accomodation, we were pleasently surprised as it is very budget friendly but also has everything we need. It is like in pictures plus very close to the beach. The owner was taking us to amazing places around. We would definitely come back.

Offering a restaurant and a private beach area, Helwas Zanzibar Beach Hotel is located in Bwejuu. Free WiFi access is available.

Each room here will provide you with air conditioning and a terrace. Private bathroom also comes with a shower. There are many things to like about the hotel but the main reasons are the owners, who are passionate about hospitality and very professional. All their staff is also very friendly and attentive to the guests, there is a genuinely good atmosphere in this hotel. Another great asset is the restaurant. Food is simple, with fresh and healthy ingredients, and it tastes amazing. If you are unfortunate enough to have booked your stay in a different hotel, you can at least make it up by eating at Helwa's. All the best to Helwa's and happy anniversary!
