Nyumbani Residence Suites

Very beautiful garden, quiet and very well managed Suites. The Italian manager responded to every request immediately. Our Suite was bigger and cleaner than the most other we visited in Zanzibar. We had Air-condition and hot water all the time. There’s also a electric generator that was a huge plus. Also great Internet connection! The cats are cute) Mille grazie

The property is in the second/third row from the beach and the roads to the property and to the beach aren’t in best shape but that’s obviously a well known local infrastructure issue..well it’s Zanzibar not Miami)) There’s not really something not to like because all the Hotel staff is very friendly and doing their best to make you feel like home!

I loved the swimming pool, the garden, staffs and the whole ambiance.

1. The breakfast was awful for the money value we paid. It was filled with mainly breads and cakes. No fruits , cheese, sausages , ham etc. 2. The utensil weren't well cleaned , unused spoons had food dried up on them. :(

Very well kept and cleaned

Perhaps increase breakfast choices

It was a wonderful 7-night stay at Nyumbani Residence. The hotel facilities are excellent, with large swimming pools and beautiful greenery, including lush trees and well-maintained gardens. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and supportive—especially Paola (owner), Fatima, and the rest of the team. The hotel is also well-located, close to the beach, shopping markets, and various services.

The way from the main road to the hotel is not in good condition specially after rains.

The hotel is run by an Italian family. Paola has created a piece of Europe in the middle of the exotic African jungle. We found European standards of quality and comfort and the warmth of Italian hospitality. Beautiful surroundings, small cozy houses nestled among blooming African trees, bushes, and flowers. The hotel is close to the main road, which is very convenient for traveling, yet we had a sense of complete privacy and seclusion. The hotel isn’t located directly on the beach, but it’s only a five-minute walk away. Within the hotel grounds, there are even two big swimming pools, with a nicely arranged relaxation area, so you can enjoy the sun and water without leaving the property. We stayed in a very comfortable, spacious house with air conditioning. There were some water and spices for cooking waiting for us upon arrival. The continental breakfast was great. The best experience, however, was Paola - the very special hostess of the place. She personally handled every single issue, answered all our questions, and gave us the most valuable advice on restaurants and services in nearby towns. She also shared her favorite places in Stone Town, which we gladly visited and truly appreciated. All the staff members were very helpful, offering advice on getting around and making the most of our stay. The hotel is in a great location. You can easily walk to Paje along the beach. There’s a large sandbank with very easy access, just a short distance from the hotel to the north - you simply can’t miss it. It’s an amazing place for all kinds of enjoyment. And just to the south, there’s the very special town of Jambiani - full of friendly people and interesting activities. A very genuine vibe of local life. At this hotel, we were able to unwind after a rather thrilling and exciting journey. It felt like European home with all the beauty and pleasures of Africa. The biggest thank you to Paola.

Nothing.

It is a hidden paradise in Jambiani. Clean, comfortable and quiet! Fatuma the manager is fantastic in every way, while giving us a big relief and assistance on unstable service quality of Zanzibar tour industry.

Nothing special But the access road requires some improvement, which is not the Residence’s responsibility, though
