Lovely old style house in Stone Town, the manager Said is very helpful and organised transport for us at a good price. There's a kitchen and shared social areas so this would be a good place to stay for a few days for a solo traveller.

Das Zimmer war nach innen gelegen und hatte nur ein Fenster zum Flur.
Wäre die Beschreibung genauer gewesen, hätte ich dieses Zimmer nicht gewählt und mir 10,- € gespart.
Mein Ansprechpartner war eher desinteressiert und nicht gerade freundlich.
Nicht empfehlenswert!
Unfreundlich, ungenaue Beschreibung der Lage des Zimmers.

Das Hotel liegt nahe am Stadtkern. Die Zimmer sind einfach gestaltet aber sauber und ausreichend groß. Schöner Frühstück- und Aufenthaltsraum. Schöne Dachterrasse.

The balcony house was in an excellent location in stonetown, and we loved the communal feel. We met other friendly travelers, and the staff were exceptional.
The rooms were pretty basic, though comfortable.

We had a great stay at the Balcony House, they are really family friendly and made our 4 year old feel welcome and safe. Saidi on the front desk was very helpful and kind, we enjoyed his friendly chilled manner. The location was great with a bakery opposite and a short walk to all tourist attractions as well as a nice little water side cafe with affordable food. We felt very at home and want to stay back here at the end of our trip!

We had a very pleased stay at amka house. Michela our host was lovely and helped us in every possible way!
The room was cozy and the terrace was perfect to relax or catch some rays.
The breakfast was very good and the location is quite good to both go the sea and to the Jambiani shops.
We strongly recommend it!

Fantastic staff, nice rooms with beautiful views, the rooms I stayed in were simple but better than what I expected for a long stay, and the fact there was a kitchen and beautiful large communal spaces was fantastic. Very good cleaning, as well as washing facilities.

Beautiful house with open spaces to chill out, nice views from the terraces. Room was a good size, the air con was most welcome! Being able to use the fridge and washing machine was handy. Staff is friendly and helpful. We liked being close to many places to eat. Would stay here again.
The wifi did cut off sometimes but not a big issue. Pillows could be a bit better.

A very nice and laid back atmosphere. You can meet other travellers in the big shared living room. That is nice and what travelling is all about. And it is a lovely place to hangout.
It is super central and within walking distance to all the nice experiences in old Stonetown.
All family members age 4,12,15,45 enjoyed our stay.
Thank you to Said, Said and Laurine for a nice welcome and help to arrange tours and taxi.

Great location. The room had AC and two fans! Bed was comfortable and large, and I liked the pillows. We used the common kitchen and it was well equipped. There is a washing machine you can use, which I think is rare for budget accommodations.
One of the shared bathroom doors did not close
