we had heard their food was great and we had seen pictures of the dhow inn before the refurbishment, (that was the exact reason why we had booked a week to stay) but we were pleasantly surprised to find luxury bungalows (with every bunch of bungalows having there own pool). The people were amazingly friendly.......exactly what we needed. Although it... More

Due to the nice reviews we were planning to stay at Dhow Inn. The place is very clean and has a spanish flair, friendly staff and nice pools. However: It is situated 200m behind the beach and surrounded by very high walls. Going to the beach we first thought that the way was a joke. You have a narrow, maybe... More

The Dhow Inn is a lovely setting and well done, but they are mid-way through a pretty serious renovation currently. Upon requesting the booking, I was told they were in a soft opening, so not all amenities were available. I inquired as to what that meant, but it was never disclosed. Staff are very lovely and extremely helpful, particularly a... More

We stayed here in the quiet season,and they were in the process of building a new accommodation block, but this didn't affect our stay and it was all wonderful! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room perfect, the setting and ambience superb. it is just a short walk (1 min) back from the beach, so no views of... More

I'm a little late in reviewing, but we stayed here in Feb 2012. We stayed a week. The rooms are a little small as the beds are massive, but the share sitting area out front and inside, plus the pool out the back means you won't want to be in the room unless you want to sleep. It is very... More

Beautiful little 6 room hotel (getting bigger in a few months) with a very delightful swimingpool! Wonderful people working there, very friendly and helpful. Excellent food in its own restaurant for a very good price, but most of all, amazing surroundings! Everything you'll need, they will provide for you (taxi from/to airport or farry, tours, activities, massage, etc). Tastefully decorated... More

Came here for dinner (so this review is for that only). Food was DELICIOUS and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Along with Ocean, this is the best place to eat in Paje. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

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
