This place is wonderful, it feels so peaceful, private and safe and the pool is gorgeous. The beach is a short walk away and it really feels like a calm environment. The best part about this stay were the hosts! Paola is amazing!! So kind and fun and gave us great recommendations for local food! She went above and beyond duty as a host
The only thing would be some warm food options for breakfast as a small improvement, but absolutely not necessary

We had four great nights here at this lovely place. It’s quiet with gorgeous gardens, clean pools and has easy beach access.
The apartments are spacious and the kitchen has all the equipment you need to make nice meals. Breakfast is delivered to your door. 😃
Finally the staff are friendly and helpful. All of them!
It was a great place to catch up on sleep and relax after a few weeks of hectic travel!
Nothing!!

Very sustainable accommodation, they don't use plastic and try to recycle as much as possible. Also breakfast is served in leaves and glasses, no plastic. They give a big water jar to keep in your apartment and from which you can get fresh drinkable water. If you, like me, boycott places that don't adopt sustainable practices and want to make sure that your holiday does not have a negative impact on the environment, this is the right place for you. And of course the host is great, always available and happy to help.

We had an amazing stay at Nyumbani residence with my husband and kids.
The place is a perfect gate away for families as the apartments are full catered with all you need.
Breakfast is really yummy and it’s served every morning at your terrace.
Location for us was great as it’s only 5 minutes away from the beach and the local shops.
Thank you very much Paola & staff for taking care of us and provide us with an excellent service. I highly recommend!
All was great!

I wish I could have stayed here longer. All the staff and the owner were so nice and helpful. They helped us out with all our issues and we’re so grateful. The place is gorgeous and so close to the beach. The breakfast is delicious. The rooms and area are very clean and the lack of plastic made me very happy as it was very eco-friendly.

I loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the accommodation. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the pool and garden were beautiful. I would highly recommend staying at this place to anyone who is interested in staying near Paje or Jambiani. The beach is only a short walk away, and if you have a car, you can easily visit the towns of Paje or Jambiani for more shopping and exploration. Additionally, the apartments have a kitchen, so if you would like to prepare some snacks or prepare something to eat, this is also possible. Finally, Paola and her husband were very welcoming and made us feel at home the moment we entered.
Nothing really, our stay was amazing here, we even came back to stay for an extra night at the end.

Eco friendly, perfect, comfortable, spacious accommodation, just what my family needed giving us the flexibility of self catering or enjoying the many restaurants located nearby and slightly further away - in Paje 10mins by taxi. Paola is a warm, welcoming, helpful host and all her staff are exceptional. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nyumbani Residence.

The management of the hotel and the staff were incredible - every detail was looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The apartments are super clean and the setting is attractive with a great pool(s) and proximity to the beach. Shops are nearby and there is a great range of eating options. The rooms, bathroom and kitchen are clean and have everything you need for a great holiday. We would not hesitate in recommending to anybody wishing to visit Zanzibar. Paola helped organise trips and we always felt that we were in good hands with high quality drivers and tour providers which cut out the hassle and assured a good time. Thank you so much for exceeding our expectations and ensuring we had an incredible holiday
Everything was perfect - no complaints whatsoever.

Personally, I liked that everything was within reach. The beach is a short walk away, there were caves to explore close by which was also a walking distance from the residence, and the ATMs were a short bike ride away.

Everyone so kindly and helpful and doing they best to make sure you’ll have a great stay.
Came late aftennoon, had loads of laundry - it was ready early next morning.
The apartments are spacious, neat and clean, kitchen is equipped to make lunch, supper etc.
Wi-Fi is good. Pools are nice. 2 minutes walk from the beach.
Have no complains whatsoever. if anything, handsoap in the toilet would be great. I had an extra so didn’t bother to mention but I’m sure that they would bring right away if I did.

Loved our stay here from start to finish. Paola and her partner were so welcoming and friendly. The room was perfect and big hot shower felt great. When we had a problem with our AC and had to switch rooms the hosts were nothing but kind, responding immediately and even helping us move our things. Paola is always a text away to help answer questions. She even tried helping me get back my shoes that I lost on the other side of the island.
The kitchen facilities are perfect and you have everything you need to cook with. Beds are spacious and comfy as well. The grounds are gorgeous, private and peaceful. We enjoyed cooling off in both pools every day!
WiFi is great and friendly guards are on duty at all times so you feel perfectly safe. Plus the cute cats will come and cuddle :)
Thank you all for an amazing stay!

We have a wonderful stay at Nyumbani Residence. The apartments are very specious and fully equipped for cooking, always clean thanks to the cleaning ladies. Part of every apartment is a big terrace where you can enjoy breakfast. Apartments have A/C. The beach is only 5 min walk as well as Jambiani village with small supermarket. If you want to do bigger grocery shopping, the host Paola can call you a taxi which takes you to Paje, also 5 min ride. If you prefer eating in restaurants, there’re some good ones by the beach. Paola is very kind and helpful if you need anything (plan a trip, taxi). The surroundings is as beautiful as in the pictures. There’re 2 pools with sun-beds and beautiful garden. Residence also has 24h security so it’s super safe. Definitely recommend to have a stay.

Just back from this beautiful place in Jambiani. We were the first guests in after they have refurbished the place. They have done an amazing job! The apartments are very specious and very well equipped ( you even get your own blender to make your juices etc) We’ve stayed in many self catering apartments around the world and this was one of the best in terms of how well everything was planned (sockets near beds, aircon, kitchen equipment etc.) We loved having breakfast out on the veranda watching the sunrise, Jambiani village and the beach are only 5min away and you can get to Paje by car in 5 min as well. Paola - the owner is super nice and friendly, ready to give you recommendations or advice about the island. I can’t not mention the gardens and the pools - yes 2 pools to enjoy, our 5 year old daughter loved splashing in the pool while we relaxed in the beautifully maintained gardens. The residence has 24h security so we felt very safe all the time. We can’t fault anything and will be back if we visit Zanzibar in the future.

Paula the manager was the most helpful person I met in Zanzibar. She really does everything for you to help you out. Not even mention her great personality. I really loved the place and would highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed the stay at Nyumbani, the resort is 3 mins walking from the beach and Paola the manager has proposed several entertaining activities such as tours and visits around Zanzibar at a fairly good price. Great kitchen facilities.

Danniel & Poa (Owners) are very nice people and in contact via whatsapp
Nice gardens and pool
Water dispenser is available at reception and very convenient (1000tzn per bottle) especially as shops are not close by and a taxi is used for shopping.
Cleanliness. Cleaning staff are pole pole (slowly slowly) and do not clean room automatically & the clean isn't thorough when they do! A "new" blanket covered in sand was put on the bed!
The bathroom had the hair from previous guest all over floor when I checked in.
The self catering kitchen was convenient but also meant self cleaning as was untouched by maids! Self Cleaning isnt wanted on holiday.
Ramadan times meant eating out was a challenge in day times as many shops / restaurants close for the month or only open at 6pm so be aware of this

A very quiet place, near Jambiani beach. The host, Danielle, a very friendly person and very helpful, just ask him what you need. Very helpful staff.
Because we went on vacation in off season, there was nothing to do in Jambiani so we had to take a taxi every day to Paje, about 5 km away.
