    Nothing The bedsheets did not smell good but it wasn’t a major problem. Note that the apartment has steep stairs.

    The location was great, right in the middle of Stonetown. It’s very practical, especially if you don’t have a lot of time to see Stonetown. The room had AC and a fan that both worked. Overall the place looked as expected and we had no issues. (We had the room with private bathroom).

    Location- great location! But it was noisy during the Ramadan, in the middle of the night. We thought it's private room, but there was another couple next room.

    Lange room. . It was clean, nice kitchen and bath. Good location, next to the port.

    Upon arrival, you must be able to call on the phone to get inside/find the apartment. Our room was double booked through Booking and Airbnb, so it took almost an hour to find out and get a room. The toilet and shower were in separate spaces outside the room, although they were private, so you had to go through the common space to get to them.

    The room and common areas were clean and the location was great. The shower water pressure was good.

    Generally a nice place to stay, but a bunch of minor inconveniences that could easily be avoided.

    Host was very nice the night we arrived, but the next day he was stressing / pressuring us out of nowhere via texts to come out and make the payment right that instant, because „he wanted to leave the house now“ - we haven‘t agreed on a time or anything but he made us feel like we made him wait for us all morning. We stayed for three nights so there was really no reason for the rush. The A/C sometimes just blew air without cooling it for a while, usually it was fine but one time it got quite warm before it started cooling again. Also, there was no remote, only a switch to turn it on and off, and it was set to 17 degrees. So we woke up a few times every night to turn it off because it got too cold, and later on again because it got warm. This issue could be fixed so easily, so I don‘t understand why they don‘t get a new remote. As many other reviews said, one bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and the other (ours) is outside of the room. This isn‘t a major issue by itself, apart from the fact that it‘s not clearly indicated on booking which (bath)room you‘re going to get. Also, the A/Cs are only in the bedrooms, so the outside bathroom gets very warm, like the common area / the kitchen. Lastly, we had one almost empty roll of toilet paper in our bathroom with no spare roll, and it was not even replaced after it was empty during the whole time we were there. Thankfully, we also had our own paper with us.

    Nicely decorated room, comfortable bed (mattress a little hard for one of us, perfect for the other one), two pillows per person, A/C was working most of the time, no power outages, fully equipped kitchen with fridge, microwave, water boiler, stove, etc., free drinking water, in the center of Stone Town and close to the Night Market.

    The room i had did’nt havr an en-suite bathroom and toilets , so not super convenient as a woman…

    It’s my 2nd time staying at this place. Lots of nice new changes in the interior design and more welcoming lounge with furniture. The new co- host is very diligent. Location is central and perfect.

    Very well located in the city center. The hotel owner helped us book a taxi from airport and then to next destination. The place is basic but has everything you need, especially if you like to have a kitchen to boil water, cook something, have a breakfast. The place is clean, someone comes everyday to check. To be noted that one room has its own bathroom and shower inside the room while the other one has it outside the room.

    No signs for the accommodation outside so very hard to find, this was being addressed and hopefully done 👍

    Salim the manager was kind, knowledgeable and available when there was a problem with the WiFi which he sorted swiftly.

    The place has two rooms and only one has an attached bath and toilette. The other room has separate bath and shower for which one has to walk through the common living area. The place was empty but the owner refused to allow me a late check out for only two hours, though I am a level 3 Booking dot com user. The guy also has no POS and charges extra if paid through POS, refuses to accept dollars, bills in Tanzanian Schilling, while converting dollar to Schilling converts in higher price but in POS converts dollar in lower rate so he takes more money. He actually took 20% extra by this.

    Unlimited Tea and Coffee. Nothing else.
