- Simona Maria (10/5): Molto buono - Personale gentile. La posizione al centro fra i due mercati della città. La stradina è un pò isolata ma non ti disturba nessuno e sei al sicuro
- Mariann (8/5): - Veldig rent rom, deilig seng, god beliggenhet midt i Stone Town gamleby, veldig stille og rolig men meget sentralt, AC og tv på rommet. Ingen luksus, men enkelt og greit og meget god valuta for pengene.
- Miyoba Precious (8/5): Comfortable and relaxing - The cleanliness, most staff were very welcoming and the bed was quite comfortable.

- primzifly (10/5): - We arrived tired in the early hours of 5AM. The guy at the reception immediately arranged a room for us to check in. We were positively surprised because we didn't expect this. The staff is very friendly and they make sure you feel at home.
- Saqib (7/5): -
- Ana Rita (5/5): - Localização Colchão duro, pequeno almoço fraco.
- Shrihari (8/5): -
- Arva (8/5): - The hotel was in good shape, and the staff were friendly, but some of the amenities mentioned on booking.com weren't available. Overall, it's a decent place to stay for the price if you're not looking for anything luxurious or relaxing.
- Sameja (3/5): -
- Tiphaine (8/5): - Le personnel était très bienveillant
Le lit était confortable et l'espace douche agréable malgré qu'à la douche on mettait beaucoup d'eau dehors. Le petit déjeuner moyen.
Salle de bain pas tout a fait aboutit (robinet non vissé)
- Elvira Cecilie (9/5): Godt og tæt på byen, hjælpsom personale - Sødt personale, fint og rent Lidt dårlig aircondition på vores værelse
- Clémence (1/5): - Vous le savez, lisez mes mails vous n êtes pas corrects j ai perdu de l argent
- maja (5/5): -
- Federica (8/5): - Al safari lodge sono molto disponibili e cercano di assecondare le richieste sempre con il sorriso stampato in faccia. Colazione basic ma efficente, posizione ok perché vicina al lungomare, ma la notte le stradine da percorrere per raggiungere l'hotel sono molto buie. Inoltre l'hotel è circondato da case residenziali quindi c'erano davvero pochi turisti
- Edgar Nhatsave (8/5): -
- Guzmán (8/5): -
- baccaro (5/5): . - . .
- Johanna Van de rijdt (8/5): Prima - De nacht receptionist was erg behulpzaam. Omdat ik net aangekomen was heeft hij mij op weg geholpen met het kopen van een sim kaart en atm Het was een goed verblijf, zeker als je naar de prijs kijkt
- Ögün (7/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. - Zentrale Lage, auch wenn es etwas versteckt liegt.
Keine hochwertige Einrichtung, aber alles nötige für einen kurzen Aufenthalt, wie in unserem Fall.
Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und bemüht. Da wir nur einige Stunden Aufenthalt bis zu unserem Rückflug dort hatten, wurde für uns extra als Frühstücks-Ersatz ein Lunchpaket vorbereitet. Etwas versteckte Lage.
- nasreddine (8/5): -
- Christopher S (6/5): Good place for backpackers, tucked away in the old quarter; not for elders with many bags! - The location is very difficult to access, being in the middle of the maze of narrow alleys in the old Stone Town. Not possible for a car to get closer than a block away (though one tuktuk driver knew how to navigate his three-wheeler to the door).
- Robyn (7/5): - Friendly, helpful staff
Simple, clean room
- aurore (8/5): - L'hôtel est propre et bien situé et le personnel est aimable et le petit déjeuner est bon
- Lúcia (10/5): Staff muito simpático, quartos grandes e limpos, bom pequeno almoço - Área do quarto e limpeza e pequeno almoço
- ALESSANDRO (10/5): -
- Mwoyofiri (8/5): - The location wasn't what I expected There was too much noise from the surroundings, cats and people
- Giordano (9/5): Hotel pratico e funzionale, staff gentilissimo - Posizione - sebbene non sia in una parte di centro storico ristrutturata e ci si acceda tramite viuzze strette e sporche l'hotel è vicino a tutti
Cordialità staff - super disponibili ad accontentarci, ci hanno fatto lasciare le valigie in hotel, ci hanno prenotato il ristorante etc
Acqua calda e camere confortevoli tutto ok, è andato tutto bene, non sarà un hotel super lusso ma offre tutti i servizi necessari
- Jucileide (4/5): - Le rooftop pour le déjeuner La propriété la salle de douche ainsi que le WC utilisés, chasse d'eau même pas tirée.
- Nabila (8/5): -
- Maria Luisa (8/5): - letti comodi, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, personale gentile la posizione è un' difficile da raggiungere e tra i vicoli
- Mohammed (10/5): -
- Nadia (6/5): - Centrally located. Fan and A/C present in the room. Kettle for tea/coffe which I actually didn't use.
Telephone in the room to speak to the reception was very handy as the rooms go up to the 4th floor but there's no elevator. Overall good value for money. Bed has a really hard mattress. No mosquito net in my room. No safe.
Unpleasant smell in the breakfast lounge the first morning I was there. Breakfast good but small portions. Fruit wasn't the best.
Shower leaking so the bathroom floor was constantly wet after showering.
Shower gel and shampoo were watery (seemed like they had finished and were replenished simply by putting water inside)
- lorenzo (8/5): Un bell’hotel in pieno centro - Ottima posizione nel centro di Stone town. Camere grandi, personale molto accogliente .
- somisse (9/5): Propre et personnel chaleureux - La propreté de la chambre et les équipements. La gentillesse du personnel et celle du patron. Ras
- Nunan (10/5): -
- Hadi (7/5): -
- akky (7/5): - 受付の女性がとてもフレンドリーでよかった。
朝食にマンダジがあってよかった。 バスタブがあったけど
栓がなかった上、お湯は出なかった。
蚊帳が使いにくかった。
- Mzigaba (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chen (8/5): High CP value - Good location. Spacious room. Big and comfortable bed. Good shower. Good breakfast. High CP value. The room is not clean especially bathroom. The lady owner is not friendly. WiFi is not too good.
- Tamlynn (7/5): Value for Money and Good Location- Very Close to the Ferry station - The room was clean and bedding was comfy.
They had warm water as well as wifi.
The breakfast was satisfactory.
Staff are helpful and friendly.
Location was good in terms of being central to the night market - 5 min walk, close to many restaurants and a 5 minute walk to the Beachfront.
It' is 3 minutes away from the Ferry station which makes it a very convenient place to stay. The room didn't have a balcony as advertised.. The balcony is at the end of the passage.
They didn't have quite a few items on the breakfast menu.
The location is walking distance to the night market and the beach as well as restaurants but it's difficult to get to if you have alot of luggage .
- Japhary (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything about the place so good Nothing
- Elsadig (7/5): Good -
- Suwilanji (7/5): Good -
- Pauline (8/5): Very good - Very good location, the all staff was very nice and helpful
- Kelly (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (6/5): I will not repeat - Nothing in particular The tap in the toilette sink was loosen, water from shower going everywhere, the matress was hard,
- Sandra (6/5): Pleasant -
- Darleng (5/5): Fair stay in Stone Town - Hotel is located in the center of Stone Town. Good value but not permanent electricity when we visit No permanent power and issues to pay with credit card. Also no washing machine
- Robert (7/5): A pleasant stay conveniently close to the Festival - Perfectly pleasant hotel, well located at a reasonable price. Breakfast was adequate but the service was under staffed.
- Tj (8/5): Very good -
- Jane (7/5): Not all facilities advertised are available - It was clean airy & peaceful. Quiet at nighttime. The majority of staff friendly and professional. Breakfast was plentiful & although busy at times, food arrived. Some facilities were not as mentioned on the booking list. We had booked a deluxe double room but initially given a family room. I had to ask to change, which was facilitated, but I'm still not convinced we had a 'deluxe room'. There was a roof terrace, but no furniture or shade to sit on. There are balconies at the front, but not accessible from the rooms & again no seats. The only safe is in reception, no room safes & rooms have showers,not the advertised " baths/ hot tub'. An iron is available from reception but no ironing board. There are other things on the facilities list that are not available but I'm not going to list them all. A staff member did take a photo of the list I showed her which is on Booking.com & she said she would look into it. I'm sure I can't be the first person to notice this.
- Andre (6/5): Ok for a night, but one might find better options for the price - Close to the ferry terminal. A/c worked well. Beds were comfortable and some staff were helpful. Some facilities, particularly the bathroom are quite old. Showering is difficult due to poor installation. Need to carefully check invoiced amount as they use unfavourable exchange rates and tried to charge us double for some taxes.
- Khumalo (5/5): My stay would have been better except for the location that is smelly and noisey - The breakfast was somehow good,kitchen staff very friendly especially Hassan the waiter ever smiling and willing to help always The location not good
- Chris (10/5): Worth to stay - Attentive staff, nice and clean rooms
- Mulenga (7/5): Good - Good location Nothing
- Mukami (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (7/5): Good -
- Masukume (9/5): Shelly - Their breakfast was filing, the staff was very helpful, the room was spacious and cool as well Nothing to do with the Lodge but in the afternoon there was a power cut by the government for at least 2 hours on my floor though the other floor had electricity. Having said that the AC was still working
- James (6/5): Pleasant - Staff friendly I stayed in room 111 the bed mattress was terrible, it really damaged my back
- Ingo (8/5): Good value in quiet area of Stone Town. - Very kind and helpful staff, great location when visiting Stone Town. Good AC and WiFi. Nice views from the rooftop breakfast area. Beds were too short for my son and I since we are very tall.
- Akparanta (6/5): Great place, easy access to anywhere! - I liked how they tried to maintain the culture and keep their history and old designs alive. Safari Lodge was amazing, their breakfast was so much it could take you most of the day before getting hungry.
Staff were very attentive and helpful. Overall, great place to be. Safari Lodge did great, no complaints.
- Madicke (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent hotel!
- Dzidra (10/5): Exceptional - Everything spacious room good location wonderfull staff
- Andrew (7/5): Good - Reasonable price for what I needed after Christmas rush, a short stay in stonetown. A little hard to find.
- Juma (8/5): Very good -
- Loti (8/5): My stay was okay - Fairly modern, and good value for money Location, you can access the lodge with a car and you can’t pay with a card. Had to go and draw money from the ATM to pay for my stay during checkout. And I was running late
