Ocenię restaurację i obsługę, gdyż mieszkałam w innym miejscu. Restauracja na najwyższym poziomie. Tak dobrego jedzenia dawno nie jadłam! Wszystko świeże i przepyszne, a porcje bardzo duże. Obsługa przemiła. Polecam wszystkim!

At first, we almost canceled our stay because the hotel didn't have a pool, which our daughter loves. But we're so glad we didn't!

This hotel was a LOVELY surprise like no other. We had to switch from a nearby hotel after five nights, and it turned out to be the BEST decision. The hotel is like a hidden treasure, made with SO MUCH love by the staff and owners. Pia was so kind and made us feel at home STRAIGHT AWAY!

Our family room felt more like a house, it’s huge, like a big apartment! Even though there was no AC, the cool breeze in Bwejuu and two fan made it comfortable. The food was so amazing and delicious!!! The hotel is simple when it comes to the structure, but VERY clean and charming, right by the beach. Beds are super comfortable!! This Hotel felt even better than many fancy 5-star hotels I've been to.

We enjoyed meeting and playing with local kids, which made us feel like part of the community. Our stay was perfect, except for the days when they didn't have their WORLD’S most delicious pancakes for breakfast! ????????

Thank you to the African Paradise team for making our stay so wonderful and perfect! We will miss you guys so so so much!!!!!

Your hotel is truly an African Paradise!

Greetings from the B’s Family ????

We are leaving this small hotel today with the greatest feelings for our stay there. Beautiful Boho decoration, small restaurant for all meals and drinks, super cute and friendly local staff, amazing beach and great views just in front. Bicycles, canoe, snorkeling gear, beach towels and a lot of pampering from the hotel staff to help you rest and enjoy. On top of that the owners take the hospitality to the next level by making you feel that you are hosted by family members and not just staying in a hotel. Highly recommended for people who want to rest and recharge batteries. Other beautiful beach bars and restaurants also available In walking distance. Bonus point, they offered us a snorkeling trip for free

You have it in the name, all you need is covered in that corner of the beach. Very clean rooms with all the facilities. No A/C but with the ceiling and the stand up fans was more than enough. The food and drinks were second to none, with very high quality, generous amounts and good prices. The best is for the end, the most helpful staff I have ever met led by the lovely owners that will make everything they can for whatever you need or want, spot on, you nailed it!!

Coś wspaniałego. Wybrałem ten nocleg skuszony dobrymi opiniami w internecie i potwierdzam w 100%. Pyszne jedzenie (śniadanka rozpoczynamy bomba witaminowa ze świeżych owoców ????) , czysto , przemili właściciele. W ramach pobytu mieliśmy zorganizowaną nieodpłatną wycieczkę z nurkowaniem co w dzisiaj czasach uważam za rzadkość. To jest po prostu idealne miejsce na chill.

We spent a week in this hotel two years ago. I still remember the wonderful atmosphere and wonderful owners. I usually don't go back to places I've already been to - I prefer visiting new ones, but I'm sure I'll come back there. This place is beautiful and quiet, rooms are comfortable and clean. Delicious breakfasts, excellent food in the restaurant. The beach a few steps away. Owners take care of everything and help with everything - they thought of literally everything that guests could need.
Hotel is very intimate, you can really relax and breathe there.

I'm rewriting this review as it seems that my original review was never properly posted.

We stayed at the African Paradise this past October of 2023 and spent a week there.

I've travelled quite a lot, and have stayed at places of all kinds at all price points all around the world.
I've come to accept over the years that I'm biased towards being critical of customer service, often to the exasperation of my partner. I say this to provide context to the following:
I can truly say without any reservation that Pia and Hasim have provided us with the best, most thoughtful, personalized, and genuine service I have ever encountered from any business anywhere at any price point.
They are really wonderful people that really care about their guests.
They are very knowledgeable of the area and gave us lots of great advice on what to see and do.
Like others have posted, I too was very dubious of the exceptionally high number of five star reviews African Paradise, but Hasim and Pia are the real deal, and their wonderful establishment is the best value for money by far I've had the pleasure of staying in. Not just in Zanzibar, but anywhere.
The pictures provided by others reviewers are all very accurate, and much nicer than anything I would be able to post.

They have a few kitchen staff and servers, and also employ a grounds keeper / gardener and a Masai security guard who also assists with groundskeeping.
Every one of them is friendly and professional. My partner is a native Swahili speaker, and we learned so much about Masai culture and life on Zanzibar from speaking to them. It was great!

As mentioned by others, Pia and Hamid provide canoes which are free to use, and the staff were quick to help us bring them out to and from the water. We never used the bikes which were free for us to use as we preferred to walk, but it's great that they provide the option.

Hamid and Pia, I hope you read this. Kissa and I really want to thank you for the amazing time we had staying with you, and we wish you all the best! We'll definitely be staying with you when we next come to Zanzibar.

Perfect!! Very helpful and kind Pia and her
husband. They let me know the information all about Zanzibar.

This hotel have most wonderful beach, delicious food and drinks, Free Masai show(very good), Free snorkeling mask, Free canoe, Free beach towel and anything what I need.

The African Pradise Beach Hotel was literally PARADISE! Highly recommend this hotel. Most happy moments when we have a Tanzania honeymoon trip were the days with this hotel. l got never forgettable memories.

When I was planning our Zanzibar trip I found The African Paradise and I spent at least an hour to figure it out if it’s fake or not since the reviews everywhere were so great . Now I can tell it’s really a 10/10 stay!:) we loved it sooo much!

First the hosts are amazing, super friendly, kind, want to make sure you enjoy your holidays as much as you can.
They helped us organizing our trips around the island, we got FREE! wine at 5pm, boat tours, kayaks, bikes and basically if we needed anything they just made it for you, like in my case: fruits, antibacterial cream.
Also the people working around the hotel /restaurant are great, very polite, kind and smile:)

The atmosphere of the hotel is very relaxing, none bothering you with offers and souvenirs. The tide process is amazing, we loved it, walking or just watching the low tide as well. Max 15people which makes it spacious, even on full load we didn’t feel crowded.

And as extra they have super lovely dogs:)

To be honest I could continue this enumeration of positive things for a looong time, but I think you should just book it and feel the care and chill we had here with its people.

All in all I think the best accommodation I ever had! If we will be in Zanzibar again, no question were we will stay!:)

True paradise, absolutely earned a 10/10. I have travelled a lot but never had experienced such great hospitality. The place is a gem and the entire team make you so welcome and feel at home. It feels like a home away from home. The atmosphere is chilled and it is easy to enjoy your privacy but also to talk to other guests. I can 200%. Recommend! Cheers to Hamish and Pia, hope to be back some day ????

Mit unseren Kids waren meine Frau und ich in der dritten Oktoberwoche für 8 Nächte in diesem einmalig tollen Hotel und hatten eine traumhafte Zeit. Wir genossen den persönlichen Touch und die sagenhafte Gastfreundschaft des Inhaberpaares, die jederzeit ansprechbar waren, und Ihres Teams. Wir bekamen Tipps für Ausflüge, durften zweimal an einer kostenlosen Bootstour für alle Hotelgäste zum Baden und Schnorcheln teilnehmen und erlebten die Ernte der beiden Kokosnusspalmen vor der Terrasse - die Kokosnüsse wurden anschließend zum Trinken angeboten. Solch einen Service gibt’s sonst nirgends und sucht seinesgleichen!
Auch das „Übliche“ war auf diesem Niveau: Das.Familien-Appartement sehr großzügig geschnitten und picobello, das Essen immer frisch zubereitet und sehr, sehr lecker. Die Kids kamen mit den gratis nutzbaren Kanus und Schnorchel-Equipment auf ihre Kosten. Der Strandabschnitt vor dem Hotel ruhig, wunderschön und wurde jeden Morgen von dem wenig angeschwemmten Seegras gesäubert.
Mein Fazit: 5 von 5 Sternen reichen für die Bewertung unseres Aufenthalts im The African Paradise eigentlich nicht aus!

Amazing stay! Hosts and staff is super friendly.

En riktig guldklimp på Zanzibar.
Vi spendera 14 dagar på ön och vi åt på Leos 10 av dom dagarna.
Väldigt god mat, rikliga portioner, bra pris och trevlig personal.
Absolut värt att besöka om man är på Zanzibar.

We stayed 5 Days. Lovely people, nice food and perfect for relaxing. Fantastic beach that invites to snorceling, walking and swimming ????

Tolle Unterkunft direkt am Strand mit sehr freundlichen Personal. Auch das Restaurant ist sehr gut. Das alles zu tollen Preisen

We spent 8 nights at this hotel.
-Location:
Very safe beachfront property, about 30-minute safe walk to Paje. If you have no vehicle, you can also take a taxi or tuc tuc. On-site free parking available.
-Service
Very warm welcome to all guests upon arrival. Pia and Hasim and the entire staff make your stay special. They are extremely friendly, generous, always available, responsive, helpful and attentive to all details.
The daily room cleaning was always prompt and spotless.
-Food and drinks:
Excellent, tasty, fresh, good variety, reasonably priced.
Great breakfast: fresh fruit and juice, daily varying surprise dish, eggs (any style), coffee/tea
-Beach:
Helpful tide table provided upon arrival.
The seaweed that comes ashore is removed every morning. Beautiful white powder, lots of palm trees, very flat, leading to very big differences between high tide (swimming possible) and low tide (no swimming possible, however walk on tidepools up to outer reef recommendable for mainly starfish gazing. Hotel provides adequate footwear to avoid stepping on sea urchins.
Beautiful sun and moon rises.
- Rooms
We stayed in an inside room with no view: It was adequate as we only spent time sleeping and showering in it. Very clean, good shower with shampoo, shower gel, soap and two fans in the bedroom with comfortable mattress.
-Tours/Massage offered: Many options available, however somewhat pricey. With our own car we were able to access all the island attractions easily. If you respect the driving rules and are friendly to the police, they are also friendly to you.
- Value: Excellent value. Can highly recommend.

The best fish I ate in Zanzibar. The hotel owners are also two of the nicest people in Zanzibar.
