Lodges in Paje

Beautiful, clean, no airco but fans are great, mosquito net, fresh towels and cleaning of room daily, great breakfast, very nice staff, beautiful swimming pool

Nice, clean and spacious room with comfortable bed and a good ensuite it was perfect for our holiday 👌

Very nice staff. Good restaurant and delicious breakfast. We got a free upgrade to a better bungalow. The accommodation had a wonderful atmosphere. Lots of hammocks, beautiful interior and lovely dogs. We admired numerous palm trees and listened to the sound of the sea. We liked the quiet, almost deserted beach. There are far fewer traders than on other beaches.

My niece and I stayed at the Zanzibar Dream Lodge for about 9 days. The staff were professional , accommodating and very kind. Our gratitude to Kassim for making our stay in Zanzibar memorable , for his help with booking taxis from and to the airport , with my phone ( as I had few issues with it ) etc. The breakfast was ok. Dinner was great ! Plenty of options for vegans , vegetarians , pescatarians etc. The room where we stayed was spacious , clean and had a very comfortable bed. I would definitely return to the Zanzibar Dream Lodge again.

The staff was friendly and in good mood. Always attentive. The beach was kept clean, which seemed to be part of the 'clean village project', which is actively supported by Blue Reef. We had breakfast and dinner. We have chosen the healthy variety, which was good and rife in fruit. Dinner was excellent. From the concise menu we enjoyed the yellow tuna steak from freshly caught fish by staff (as can be expected in a 'fishing' lodge). We were very pleased by the huge beach that appeared at low tide.

Fantastic rustic room. Big beds with mosquito nets, large bathroom. Large bedroom with tall thatched roof. Very peaceful, swimming pool great. Staff relaxed and very friendly and helpful.

The room was very clear and it’s was very valuable for money.

I could honestly write a 10-page article in praise of Shanuo. Firstly, yes. It’s every bit as beautiful as the pictures would have you believe. (With that said, there’s no way to truly capture the beauty of this place through a camera lens. You just have to go there to see that for yourself). Surrounded by coconut trees and brightly coloured tropical flowers, the bungalows overlook the Indian Ocean - a morning dip is a must! My room was clean and comfortable and I was provided with everything I might need during my stay. Although Shanuo doesn’t have its own restaurant, I can honestly say this has no impact on your stay at all. The breakfasts are generous and Shanuo provides drinks and snacks (at a small fee) if you’re feeling peckish. There are several neighbouring properties along the beach with restaurants. I promise you won’t go hungry! Secondly, the staff are incredibly accommodating and helpful, and you’re guaranteed to be met with a friendly smile and an enthusiastic “Jambo” 100% of the time. If you need anything, you just need to look up and someone is there to assist. A big thank you to everyone at Shanuo, but especially to Na who brought my breakfast every morning and who I had lovely chats with, to Daniel who cut copious amounts of fresh aloe vera to tend my sun burn, and of course to the manager, Gillian, who is energetic, friendly and builds meaningful connections with her guests which she uses to tailor her travel tips especially to your needs. This team creates an atmosphere that truly makes you feel as though you’re ‘coming home’. There’s so much more that I could say, but anyone reading this will begin to think I’m exaggerating. I’m really not. Do yourself a favour and just book! I’ll certainly be coming back here on my next Zanzibar adventure.

AFYA village makes you feel home immediately. The staff is very friendly and the small houses are cozy. The food is delicious. It's a special place highly recommendable if you look for relaxation in a tranquille environment.

Fantastic accommodation for people looking to explore Jozani forest on a budget. The tent is very spacious and clean, and surrounded by wildlife. The shower area was very clean and hot water is available, plus basic toiletries. If you are used to camping it is a brilliant stay. Maryam and the hosts were incredibly helpful, with taxis, hot water for tea, extra towels etc. All the food was very tasty
