The Kichwa House

Excellent breakfast. Same place also great for dinner. Short walk to the beach. Manager G very attentive.

Excellent breakfast

The manager is an absolute legend, he is so helpful! really, he takes care of you as if you were his closest friend. Of course, this is a place where you stay when on budget, but for the price it has everything you need! a comfortable bed, good breakfast, hot shower. Only thing - the wifi does not reach to all the rooms - that could be an issue if you don't have a local sim. Upstairs is an amazing place to chill or to get some work done. The beach is literally 10m away from the property. I was here off season so the place was quiet, but during the high season you will have an amazing time for sure. If you want to get a local experience, make sure you reach out to the manager as he is really one of the greatest guys I've met on this amazing island.

the wifi signal is low

very nice location and stuff.

Nothing.

I enjoyed the location close to the beach. My room was clean and perfect for a solo travel. The guy who runs the house was so kind, friendly and helped me a lot during my stay in Zanzibar, always available! I really recommend this place!

A wonderful place, beautiful, atmospheric, quiet and peaceful. Great host Jim!!!! Always nice, helpful, polite and smiling, taking care of the comfort of holidaymakers. Beautiful beach with white sand, cleaned daily. Breakfast with local fruits, omelette, pita bread, coffee, tea, honey, jam... nothing else needed. I felt very safe here. The natives are extremely nice!!!! I recommend it with a clear conscience!!!!

the room was clean, quiet with a comfortable bed. Very helpful and polite staff. very good breakfast in a beautiful place right on the beach

The fan, even though it was on all the time, does not move the air in the room. pity there is no AC. It's good that there is space in the attic where you can relax well

Young Manager Gi was ok but he couldn't fix everything except bringing a new clean pillow

I thank you for accepting the change of reservation and the reduction of days of stay. the room is far from Deluxe, because there is nowhere to hang the clothes you take off, the mirror is on the floor, you can only see your feet, the pillows are dirty, in the bathroom there is no towel rack or space on the floor in front of the shower, no mirror or a counter to put the toilet bag on, electric uninsulated wires stick out from the wall to the shower, there is nowhere to hang a costume to dry after returning from the beach... the food service is very slow and the breakfast consists of fried eggs, tough pancakes with vegetables and oily chapata. it can be a substitute for toast and cheese, but it's gratani cheese that you don't even see is on or in the toast. the entrance to the beach is full of sharp stones, it's very windy and if you can't spend the day on a deckchair on the beach because of the weather, it's very boring

You get what you pay for. But I must mention the receptionist. The man was exceptional, really friendly and tends to all your needs. High ratings just because of him.

The place is amazing: just outside the resorts' area and 20 metres far from the beach, you can live a truer experience. You can have breakfast (included in the booking), lunch, dinner at a bar located just opposite, along the beach, while watching the sunrise or the sunset or just the tides. Breakfast is good. The place is very silent, too, as you usually don't meet cars, scooter and so on. The beach is very close and by foot you can easily reach kiwengwa. The staff is Young and very friendly.

Nothing to hang dry/wet clothes ti. The room was like new and had to be' completed
