Guest Reviews
- Pascal (9/5): - Hôtel authentique et plaisant. Le repas sur le roof top était exceptionnel et le personnel très professionnel et agréable. Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas payer en TSH avec la carte
- Christo Kloppers (9/5): A gem in Malindi - Very clean, good breakfast and friendly and attentive staff. Took a while to get use to the all night noise coming from the Harbour.
- Christopher (10/5): Short stay but memorable. Will come back again - good location near enough everything in Stonetown. beautiful rooms with so much charm and history. Clean. polite staff, very friendly and hospitable Sometimes forgot to dress up the room.
- Yinka (9/5): Royal - The staff were warm and ensured princess treatment throughout my stay. The breakfast was exceptional too, effort was put into making them.
- Michael-John (10/5): A step back into history!! - One of my favourite hotels. Oozing character and class. Old and vibey. Delicious food. The courtyard feels like you’re living in the 1800s. Nothing. Maybe beds a bit hard. Need toppers. That’s all.

- Tshekishi (9/5): Lovely stay. Highly recommend - Great location, really friendly staff and the hotel is beautiful. On top of the great service, the staff helped us find a great tour guide for a walk through stone town Might be a preference thing but the bed was really hard
- Alicja (10/5): - I loved the atmosphere and the hotel itself. It is very close to the ferry but you cannot hear any noise. The hotel itself is lovely and the staff were amazing and friendly. They really made me feel like a princess.
- Jean-Michel (10/5): - Merveilleux endroit superbement rénové au cœur de Stone Town. La qualité du service, la disponibilité et l'écoute du personnel qui s'adapte à vos desiderata, notamment pour l'organisation sur mesure des visites souhaitées. Rien. Tout dépassait nos attentes...
- Diego (9/5): -
- Oriane (9/5): Super bon séjour! bien accueilli et pris en charge - L’emplacement était parfait ! La chambre ainsi que l’équipement était très bien Pas accès au rooftop mais à cause de la saison des pluies
- Ntsako (10/5): Lovely, affordable, clean and convenient - Such a lovely place, convenient location and the staff, amazing. I loved the room set up and ancient bathroom style Loved everything about my stay there
- Ntshangase (7/5): Warm and welcoming staff, secure location, comfortable interiors and beautiful cultural immersion - Excellent artistic displays and authentic cultural decor. Could use some extra lighting indoors though. It can be dark. No secured parking

- Guest (9/5): -
- Samira (8/5): Top pour une nuit - Accueil super sympa ,emplacement pas loin du port donc top même si on y accède par une petite ruelle .Le taxi vous déposera à quelques mètres mais c’est juste à côté à pied . Nous y avons dînes c’était excellent !!Le petit déjeuner était bon aussi . Lit un peu trop haut il faut presque prendre son élan pour monter . Pas d’ascenseur ça peut poser souci aux personnes à mobilité réduite mais pour les valises ils vous aident .

- Doris (10/5): -
- Dorota (9/5): Nie banalny pobyt w dobrym stylu - Piękny dom księżniczki z autentycznymi detalami z jej epoki . Wygodne łóżko. Mógłby być większy wybór śniadań lub zmieniający się w kolejne dni. Byłam na Wielkanoc i brakowało mi czegoś świątecznego. Brakowało mi lodóweczki w pokoju, ale personel był uprzejmy i mogła trzymać mój aloes gel w kuchennej lodówce.
- Carmelo (10/5): Lugar ideal para ver stone city - El personal, el desayuno, la localización. Me resolvieron todas mis necesidades sin tener la obligación de hacerlo. Nada
- Malte (9/5): - Beautiful, historic, charming Hotel.
- laetitia (9/5): Top - L emplacement la décoration le petit déjeuner Rien
- Yolanda (8/5): - The hotel is beautiful, if you love vintage aesthetics then it’s definitely a winner for you. I personally booked it because of that, I wanted to experience staying in that kind of aesthetics atleast once in my life. They paid so much attention to detail with the decor on every corner, it felt good discovering each space and you’ll instantly want to photograph it. The staff are amazing, from the very hospitable reception lady to the restaurant staff. I felt safe, I even left my room unlocked to go and have breakfast a few times with no issues. I appreciate that I could check-in at odd hours, my flight arrived at 1am and my room was ready for me. The hotel manager is such a knowledgeable and helpful gentleman, who does not shy away from conversing with you about your stay in Zanzibar in general. Would I book with them again? Absolutely! Breakfast options are very limited, they should look into broadening it. The cleaning staff could pay more attention to detail and improve, my shower still had soap marks from the previous guest I guess, I had to wash it off before taking my own shower and I’m sure this was just a silly mistake. Other than that, the property is so peaceful and beautiful.
- Ray (2/5): - The hotel promised to send a car to pick us up at the airport. We waited 15 minutes, but no car arrived. So we took a cab. The hotel claimed they had sent a car, and charged us anyway. For a small amount, it left a bad taste in our mouths.

- Alessandro (10/5): -
- gabriele (10/5): Wiederholt dort übernachtet und wieder war es sehr schön. - Wir haben zum zweiten Mal im Kholle House übernachtet und waren wieder sehr zufrieden. Die Lage ist sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig, die Zimmer komfortabel und sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
- Anna (10/5): Perfect and well managed oasis in Stonetown - Just my fav hotel in Stonetown. A beautiful oasis next to everything I need, like ATM, ferry station and close to many shops and restaurants. Love it!
- Mathis (10/5): Parfait séjour à Stone Town dans un lieu magnifique et cgargé d’histoire. - Très bon emplacement pour visiter la ville, c’est un petit havre de paix avec beaucoup de charme, de végétation, une piscine et un rooftop. On sent un lieu chargé d’histoire et le personnel était au petit soin.
- Christian (9/5): -
- Maryam (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix - Bon rapport qualité prix. Pratique pour une nuitée Charmant patio au calme Manque d’isolation (bruit dans le couloir et clients qui montaient avec les valises )
- Anke (8/5): -
- Rosemarie (10/5): - This place is pure magic! You walk in and feel immediately like a Princess. Great place with Zanzibarian history. I can recommend it to 100 % and will definitely return. Highlights: breakfast, pool, rooftop, staff is very friendly, manager very open minded and kind. -
- gabriele (10/5): Schöner Urlaubsstart auf Sansibar - Sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Personal, perfekte Lage, schöne Atmosphäre, geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Leider kein Wifi Empfang im Zimmer
- RS (9/5): - Charming staff, delightful building, gardens and pool. A real pleasure to stay here. Nothing
- stephen (9/5): excellent - lovely property, stunning beach location a bit far from Town probably better suited for groups or couples
- Stéphanie (8/5): - Bon emplacement Personnel sympathique Resto très bien
- Mukasa (10/5): Excellent - Very beautiful place. I loved everything
- Bénédicte (8/5): Bel hôtel central - L'intérieur de l'hôtel est superbe, la décoration magnifique de ce lieu chargé d'histoire. La petite piscine est agréable, tout comme le jardinet où déjeuner. L'hôtel est central et proche de la mer. L'hôtel n'est absolument pas insonorisé au niveau des fenêtres (mais forcément, bâtiment ancien!). Les nôtres donnaient notamment juste sur la mosquée, donc inutile de vous dire que dormir a été compliqué, d'autant que le lit grinçait pas mal. S'équiper donc de bonnes boules quies!
- Lukasz (10/5): -
- Rosemarie (10/5): - Ein sehr schönes historisches Gebäude, das immer noch Atmosphäre versprüht. Das Frühstück im Garten ist wunderbar, danach eine Runde schwimmen - toller Start in den Tag. Ich habe gleich spontan noch eine Nacht gebucht. Sehr hilfsbereit, sei es beim Kauf einer Sim Card oder Geld wechseln.
- Klaus -Dieter (9/5): - Das Personal war sehr hilfreich und freundlich das Frühstück war auch lecker! Auch das Ambiente in dem Haus hatte mir gut gefallen! Also Internet war schon ein Problem, obwohl ich direkt mein Zimmer (1) hatte hatte ich drinnen ein sehr schlechten Empfang, wenn ich aus meinem Zimmer raus ging ins Foyer war es gut!
- Vivianne (10/5): -
- gjohns155087 (10/5): An excellent and beautiful boutique hotel - We could not have felt more at home at Kholle House. This charming boutique hotel offered everything and more from its stunning decor and antiquities to the excellent service and warm welcome we received daily from the staff. Our double room was spacious with the most comfortable bed. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the Courtyard every morning and we loved the variety of the fruit platter and the fact that you could mix and match from the breakfast menu. We had dinner at the hotel on two occasions and both meals including desserts were excellent leaving us with the feeling of wanting more! We could not have chosen a better hotel for our eight night stay. It was wonderful. Massive thanks to Stephen and his team for making our stay such a pleasure and a very memorable one. We will most definitely return.
- Christiane (9/5): -
- Hanna (9/5): I would come back. - Great location, very friendly staff, good breakfast.
- Neringa (10/5): - Labai gražus viešbutis, stilingas, jaukus, miesto centre. Viską lengva pasiekti pėščiomis. Geras maistas. Liukso kambarys buvo superinis. Viešbutis senas, bet su dvasia ir savo istorija. Buvome per ramadaną, labai girdisi naktį vykstančios maldos, bet visiškai netrukdė, net ramino. Labai patogu apsistoti prieš išvykstant namo. Arti oro uostas. Su taxi 15 min.
- Francesco (10/5): Fantastico posto in centro a Stone Town - Tutto Posizione Pulizia e accoglienza Nulla
- Eva (10/5): -
- Gail (10/5): A fabulous stay! - This beautiful boutique hotel was full of history and charm, with easy access to many sights, restaurants and shopping. It was also a great base to travel from. Our double room was delightful and tastefully decorated as was the hotel generally. From the time of our arrival to the time of our departure, the staff made us feel welcome, comfortable and at home. We enjoyed a good breakfast every morning and we loved that you could mix and match from the small menu. We enjoyed dinner twice and both the drinks and our meals were amazing. We loved Kholle House and will definitely return. Nothing
- marina (9/5): - La décoration et le style de l hotel, le personnel aux petits soins , le petit déjeuner copieux et le repas excellent Le lit en 140 est un peu petit
- Noël (10/5): Leuk gerenoveerd paleisje in de binnenstad - De ligging in het centrum, waardoor alles op wandelafstand was. Niks
- Miyuki (9/5): -
- Leonie (9/5): - Das Kholle House ist sehr schön restauriert und gestaltet und wirkt sehr authentisch. Der Pool im Innenhof bietet eine gute Möglichkeit sich abzukühlen. Vom Kholle House kann man Stonetown gut zu Fuß erkunden - wobei für die An- und Abreise zu beachten ist, dass man nicht mit dem Auto bis zum Hotel fahren kann. Die vom Hotel angebotene Massage war ebenfalls sehr angenehm und preiswert. Das Badezimmer ist etwas eng und nur durch Vorhänge vom Zimmer abgetrennt. Das war aber für uns in Ordnung.
- Jan (6/5): Lovely boutique hotel with beautiful decor but poor bathroom. - The lovely decor and courtyard. Great location. Staff helpful. The bathroom was in need of renewing as shower was in poor repair.
- Dave Blakeway (10/5): - great position close to sea and old tow. Lovely old tradition sryle. nothing
- David (10/5): Thanks - Small. Neat building. Good food Nothing
- Barbara (7/5): Good but uncomfortable bed and a bit remote. - This is a good hotel and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very good. The bed was very uncomfortable. Also, as a solo female traveller I don’t think I’d stay there again. It’s on some narrow, empty back alleys near the ferry docks and it was a little creepy walking there sometimes. Otherwise a good hotel.
- tania (10/5): Parfait - Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'accueil très chaleureux et professionnel, la qualité des repas et des services. Tout y est charmant et l'hôtel est très bien situé. Merci beaucoup. Asante sana. Tutarudi. Nous reviendrons.
- Jesse (9/5): - Great staff, big smiles on arrival. I felt like part of the family, and being welcomed home each time we came back to the house. Particular mention to Yakub, who went the extra mile to make sure we had an excellent stay. And thanks to Steve also. The room was beautiful and spacious. The breakfast could do with a little work. Fresh fruit, juice and coffee were excellent but the cooked option felt prepared rather than fresh
- franck (8/5): -
- Liégeois (9/5): Parfait - Tout et le petit déjeuner super. Rien
- Henjewele (6/5): -
- Giovanni (9/5): -
- Florence (9/5): It represends Stonetown: Charming, unique. - The people working at the place. Professional, sweet, empathic. Good beds. Good wifi. Well the princess was hiding a bit so you cannot reach in front of the house with a car. Which is beautiful but I was surprised. So now y’all be prepared, no problem.
- zhowar694768 (10/5): Excellent - A beautiful place to stay. Staff wonderful. Would hugely recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Stone Tone. It is fantastic to be able to stay in such a historic and beautiful house.
- lotte210003 (10/5): Kholle House - Top. Great place to stay. Characteristic, nice atmosphere, super friendly staff... good breakfast and bar.
- CAHvandenBerg (10/5): Quiet little oasis in old Stone Town - I stayed at Kholle House for 1 night with my husband and three year old son. We loved how welcoming the staff was. They arranged a transfer for us from the airport. Because we arrived hours before check in time, they prioritized our room and made us comfortable in the meantime. Our son was a little bit to big for the baby bed, so they put an extra bed in our room just last minute. We enjoyed a lovely diner and breakfast in the garden. The garden feels like a quiet little oasis. After we checkout of our room we were trying to locate the car rental company, which was supposed to be nearby. We had to wait over an hour for someone to show up and things still weren't quite clear. The manager Stephen really helped us out and made sure everything was settled with the car rental company, so that we were able continue our journey in time. If we are lucky enough to visit Stone Town again, we will definitely be staying at Kholle House! My advice for other travellers is to stay more than just 1 night.
- Voyageusexoxo (10/5): Felt like a princess at Kholle House - I had a wonderful stay at Kholle House Hotel and felt very welcome from the first moment. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was amazing and definitely a highlight. The house itself is beautiful and full of history. Staying in the former home of Princess Kholle made me feel like a princess myself. A special thank you to Yakub, who really stayed in my memory, and to the whole lovely team. Asante sana – I would happily come back anytime.

- Laura (10/5): -
- Kate (9/5): A beautiful and peaceful space to land in Stone Town - The history of the place is delightful and whilst it’s refurbed beautifully it retains the glory of its history. Nothing to report here!!
- Denis (8/5): Au coeur du vieux Zanzibar - Hébergement historique au cœur du vieux Zanzibar. Déjeuner délicieux et personnel très aimable. Certaines chambres sont très exigus et l'emplacement central fait que c"est assez bruyant comme endroit.
- Ray (10/5): Truely one of Stone Town’s gems - highly recommended! - The decor and ambiance are exceptional, exotic and tranquil, transporting you into the world of the princess who once made it her home. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and the breakfasts, which can be enjoyed on the patio near the pool, delicious. An experience not to be missed. Nothing - everything was perfect!
- Alextair (8/5): -
- Karen (10/5): Treated like a Princess! - Historic atmospheric house, beautifully decorated, lovely pool Extremely friendly and helpful staff All food excellent
- Lennart (8/5): Top! -
- Zena (9/5): Really lovely experience all round- including excellent food. I would recommend going for a slightly larger room than th - Beautiful home with friendly, attentive staff The smaller room on the ground floor is cosy and beautiful- but there isn’t much space to hang clothes.
- R2076JKelainer (10/5): A hidden gem in the heart of Stone Town. - Staying at Kholle house transports you back in time, exotic and tranquil, every detail perfect. The welcoming and attentive staff and delicious breakfasts add to a very memorable experience. Highly recommended!
- Dai (10/5): As beautiful as it can get! - Everything! Nothing, everything was exceptional!
- Yan (9/5): Love it! - The staff were suuuper nice! The manager, receptionists, resteruant staff, especially Yakoub who showed me around and even walked me out in town to go to places. Made me feel safe and have company while solo travel. The building were so pretty and unique! The balcony and rooftop were such hidden gems, made me feel at peace. The pool and every public area were well maintained while feeling the historical vibe. Worth every penny spent! It's a little noisy outside since it's close to the port. But the room comes with ear plugs, which is considerate so I don't hear anything while asleep. Shower head was a bit hold but still functions. Recommend for those who are not so picky about these little things.
- Yuliia (9/5): Рекомендую, это как перенестись во времени - Персонал Шум с порта и мечети, но я предполагала, что так будет, поэтому это не было проблемой.

- Oursgris (7/5): Hôtel historique proche de la vieille ville - Bon hôtel proche du port et la vieille ville avec du charme mais un peu vieillot, chambre minuscule et sombre, "baignoire" inutilisable (baignoire antique à sabot...) mais le personnel est très gentil, heureusement. Impossible de se promener même à 2 autour de l'hôtel, on est sollicités en permanence.
- Annika (10/5): Great! - The house was charming, the pool great and the breakfast was outstanding. The personnel was very friendly. I loved my stay!
- William (8/5): - Location is good, overall place is good for a holiday and visit. Room was little, small and for work related travel - we expect a laptop working table and good internet connection. staffs were extremely friendly and good.
- INES MATILDE (10/5): - Hermoso el hotel Excelente ubicación y excelente la atención del personal.
- Lindiwe (10/5): - Love it!
- Luca (7/5): Très bonne hôtel avec une extérieur et bonne cuisine. Attention de ne pas prendre la chambre au premier étage - Personnelle très agréable et à l’ecoute, l’espace extérieur était très sympa avec une très belle piscine. Le restaurant était également excellent La cuisine était relié à ma chambre se qui pouvait être désagréable

- GIOVANNI (10/5): - Ottima colazione, piscina fresca e rilassante, posizione abbastanza centrale
- Camille (7/5): - Clean and well located. The staff is amazing but the management staff was a bit difficult, we got a room which is located on the ground floor and had no window, only a really small one under the high of the street, looked like we had a room in the cellar. We were really disappointed and asked to get another room (there was availability) but getting another room seemed very complicated, we had to wait more than an hour for the management to decide if it was possible or not to get an upgrade and we at the end had to pay for it and wait another hour to access the room. This made the experience less good than expected some rooms, especially ground floor don’t have light and only a mini window.
- Ines (10/5): sehr schön -
