Lovely place!

Traditional stone town house hotel with a really warm welcome from the lovely family who own it. Great location with an easy safe short walk to the main hotspots and the night food market and sea jumping zone.

10/10 Exceptional

What an astonishing place! Really friendly staff and the owners are lovely. Well run and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the communal spaces to make them as inviting and relaxing as possible. The bedroom was great and had everything we needed and the location is fantastic - a little back from the main streets so nice and quiet but close to everything you want to see.
Martin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

located at the heart of Shangani, a walking distance from the sea front, Forodhani and Darajani. Small quaint property with a home feel, my kind of thing!

Nice place with really nice host-couple

We (me, my husband and three boys from the age 3 to 9) left our all-inclusive resort on the east coast (Uroa) to stay 2 nights in vivid Stone Town. The Habari House was our choice because of its centrsl location with only a short walking distance to everything. We really enjoyed this part of the journey and recommend the Habari House to everyone, who wants to experience Stone Town for more than just a day-trip! And if you visit Zanzibar, I believe you should! The hosts (a couple with a small child) are the sweetest souls: warm, kind and generous. My husband had some stomach pain, when we arrived, and the host went out to find him Jægermeister late at night. 5 stars for effort and for making us feel more than welcome. We hope to return one day and maybe have time to sit down and have dinner with these sweet, beautiful people. The room was nice, breakfast was so so (but 5 stars for effort and goodwill), location was perfect and our overall experience was superb. <3

A Zanzibar Home Away from Home

We can't say enough good things about our stay at Habari House. My husband and I travel quite a bit and never have we stayed somewhere with such gracious hosts as G and Lucy. They welcomed us in and made sure we were comfortable and had all we needed. In fact, when I mentioned that my mattress was a bit firm, they went out and got a new mattress and a foam topper to ensure I would have a good night's sleep. I didn't want them to go to the trouble, but they graciously insisted. The breakfast each morning was scrumptious. The freshly made juice was such a treat. One morning we had an early departure time for a tour, and they thoughtfully prepared a boxed breakfast to take with us. We were so grateful for that! G and Lucy and the entire staff is enough reason for me to recommend staying here but Habari House itself is beautiful and well maintained. The rooms (our kids were in a separate room) were clean and comfortable. The restaurant/courtyard area has such a cool vibe. It was a place that was easy to just stay and linger in conversation. Habari House is also in a fantastic location. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to get to the heart of Stone Town in just a few minutes' walk. Each night, upon returning to Habari House after a day of excursions, it honestly felt like coming home. G and Lucy are such beautiful people and have created more than just a hotel, but a place of community and rest. - Lance and Julie Clark (Texas)

ヌングイビーチとパジェビーチに2週間滞在してストーンタウンで2泊しました。前回と同じホテルですが、便利な立地です。ストーンタウンの中心です。スタッフさんも親切　Wi-Fiも問題なし。食事も美味しい。

初めてのザンジバル

スイートルームの予約がホテルの都合でファミリールームとシングルルームに変更された。そのため無料の夕食が4人分サービスされたので問題ありませんでした。部屋は綺麗で広く清潔　ただしファミリールームのエアコンが冷えないからそこだけ問題です。オーナーの方も親切　ストーンタウンの中心でどこも徒歩圏内　おすすめします。

Koselig

Kjempe hyggelige ansatte og eiere! Flotte rom, vi hadde topp suiten som var romslig og fin. Eneste minuset var mygg og insekt når man skulle spise i cafeen på kvelden.

Mysigt boutique hotell med fantastisk personal.

Uppskattade framför allt servicen. Ägaren och övriga personalen var extremt service minded och hjälpte oss med allt vi behövde. Hotellet ligger centralt i Stone Town, det har en trevlig liten restaurang med väldigt god mat, hotellet är jättemysigt och mycket prisvärt. Rekommenderar det varmt.
