  Exceptional service from start to finish. Little gem in paradise!

  A Wonderful Two-Week Stay at Villa Jiwe We stayed at Villa Jiwe in Kiwengwa for two weeks, and from the very beginning, we had a wonderful experience. The villa offers a great price-quality ratio, but what truly made our stay special were the amazing people who took care of us. Even before our arrival, we were in contact with Alice from Zanzibar Houses. She was incredibly helpful, kind, and professional throughout the booking process. Her warm and reassuring communication gave me a really good feeling and made me confident that I had booked the right place — and I was absolutely right. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Bakari, the villa manager. What a genuinely dedicated and kind person! Bakari was available to us 24/7 and regularly stopped by to check in on us and make sure everything was okay. He was always helpful, attentive, and ready to assist whenever needed. We truly appreciated his care and hospitality. And then there was Freddie — oh my goodness, what a gem! His amazing breakfasts every morning were something we looked forward to every day. But beyond the delicious food, Freddie is simply a genuinely kind, warm, and wonderful person. His positive energy and thoughtfulness made our mornings even more special. And of course, Margaret, our wonderful cleaner. She did an amazing job and was always kind and pleasant. We really appreciated all the work she put into keeping everything clean and comfortable throughout our stay. We also want to give a special mention to the pool maintenance man - Samweli,the true unsung hero! Every day, he quietly went about his work, making sure the pool was clean, sparkling, and perfect for us to enjoy. It’s the kind of work you might not notice when everything is running smoothly, but we certainly appreciated it. Thank you for keeping our little piece of paradise so beautiful! The location is excellent and local stalls, supermarket and ATM are nearby. Enough great restaurants to choose from.

  There is absolutely nothing not to like!

  Der Aufenthalt war sehr erholsam.

  Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Fredy der Koch und sein Kollege sind super. So etwas haben wir noch nie gehabt, dass für uns in einer Ferienwohnung gekocht wird. War wirklich außergewöhnlich.

  Das es hin und wieder kein Strom und Wasser gab.

  Lovely stay near the Beach

  Me and my two daughters stayed at this place for three nights. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, lovely area outside and pool just next to the terrace. A perfect set up especially for kids who love to swim. There was water and fruits waiting for us when we arrived. Breakfast was delicious with lot of fruits (chef came to prepare it in the mornings), it was a quiet place and we really loved our stay. Hardly any other tourists near by, and would definitely stay here again. We also got tips for the trips, taxis weee organized also. Electricity disappeared only twice during our stay for just ten minutes or less. WiFi worked really well also, something I appreciate now when staying in a different place with a crappy one :) so happy we stayed at this peaceful and lovely place.

  Don’t have anything to complain.
