I don't normally review hotels unless they're extremely good or extremely bad. This place falls into the first category - absolutely incredible. Amazing staff, beautiful place, great owner, good food. Cannot recommend enough - all the high scoring reviews are completely justified

a little oasis 100m from Paje beach.

The rooms were really nice and fresh. great details and touches. The pool is just the right length to swim some easy laps. And the breakfast was always well done. I will return there for sure.

the villa is as shown in the photos. Very friendly staff, happy to help you. The beach is within walking distance, which is ideal. local shops also such as supermarket, gift shop or pharmacy. The food at the villa is also very tasty. What you have to keep in mind is that everything closes at 10 p.m. in Zanzibar, including at the villa. The only thing that is a pity is the people around the villa/beach disturb you every minute. Yes and the paths where you have to walk and there is no light outside in the dark but this is all over Zanzibar.

Villa Huruma è un vero boutique hotel situato subito dietro la spiaggia di Paje. Le camere deluxe con l'ampia terrazza sono molto carine così come la piscina e il patio in cui fare colazione. Ma il vero valore aggiunto sono Lucy e le altre ragazze che lo gestiscono con professionalità e gentilezza e che nonostante l'assenza del proprietario italiano se la sono cavata alla grande.La colazione dolce e salata alla carta è molto buona. Il rapporto prezzo qualità il migliore che abbiamo trovato durante il nostro tour dell'isola.
