We stayed here on a weekday and loved it. The wooden cottages were new and sported excellent fittings. Peaceful beach and the Guards were quite accomodative yet firm when reasoning with guests. Pool was clean and inviting.The lights were on beyond 10/11 PM which was encouraging. Check in and out were smooth and they even accepted a cancellation without a second word. Overall a memorable weekend for us.

To the AfricaStay team We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude for helping experience the most wonderful place called Zanzibar. From the initial enquiry to the boarding of the plane back to SA, we are still speechless at how well and professional the team carried itselft. We had a warm reception curtosy of Garrib who also went out of his way to assist us with minor challenges we ran into as we were first time travellers (lacked knowledge of currency exchange) and our card got stuck in the ATM. The very next day, AfricaStay team was already waiting for us to assist with getting the card back and that happened with ease as Jay helped with the translation at the bank. We enjoyed staying at BlueBay, amazing views, food, staff...everything was to our expectations and a bit more. On our way back to the airport, my wife accidentally forgot her cellphone in the tour bus. We made enquiries with Marian who immediately notified us that the cellphone was safe and sound and he had it couriered a week later. Jay had told us that Zanzibar is a crime free island and that proved to us it was no lie. We'll definitely be using AfricaStay for our future bookings, forever greatful to you for making the last leg of our marriage week a memorable one! Thank you so mcuh!
