I stayed at an enchanting little inn of 6 rooms, but a large inn is being built nearby, with a capacity of around 35. Zanzibar is not cheap like southeast Asia, so the comparison is not justified. The place itself could not be better situated. The beach is exceptional, a 2 minute walk away. There are excursions and taxis to... More

I think if we'd stayed at this hotel when it wasn't right before the rainy season, and extremely humid and hot, I might have had a different experience. But for the money, compared to our lodging in Stone Town, it was a bit disappointing. The not so good: The rooms are extremely small - basically just enough room for the... More

Decided to head to Zanzibar for kitesurfing. Then thought about going somewhere else due to the wind forecast. Emailed manager (Christian) and told him we were not sure what we were going to do. He told us what the wind has been, and told us he understood he hoped the wind would be up, but of course you won't know... More

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and there was always a smile and engaging conversation. The food was delicious with a good fusion between local and international. A hop skip... More

After a week in tents on safari, followed by a hot and humid nights in Stone Town, Dhow Inn on Paje Beach was a perfect place to end the vacation. A stone throw from the beach, the fresh sea breeze hits the open patio with it's spacious lounge. The friendly staff, lead by Christian, is the essence of this hotel.... More

If you're looking for a comfortable place to spend a couple of wonderfully lazy days in Zanzibar, the Paje Dhow Inn is your place. The hotel itself has great vibes and is situated right on the beach - and is in strategic proximity of a fun beach bar, if I may add - and is truly dedicated to making your... More

Everything starting from the location right in front of the beach to the cleaness, to the service level and friendlyness of people, tot he food and drinks was absolutely perfect. Christian and his wonderful team are doing really the best to make you feel comfortable with western standards, but nonetheless into the local culture and atmosphere. No way to go... More
