    I loved its amazingly nice and accommodating employees.

    This was a very lovely stay for our last night in Africa. We booked bright standard room here with the ceiling fan and decent facilites. The location was central, close to Zanzibar's Stone Town, the Forodhani Gardens and the waterfront and taxis, and there were a museum and a tower minutes walking distance from the venue.

    We spent 2 nights at Kiponda B&B in Zanzibar and it was lovely. the location was unbeatable, close to an outdoor food market and vibrant activities like teenagers and youth competitively diving in the sea. We could easily reach Zanzibar's Stone Town and Dar es Salaam from the B&B. It was just a 10-15 minutes' walk from Mistress of Spices, where we enjoyed eating multiple times. the hotel catered perfectly to our needs, and we look forward to returning.

    We did not want to leave and would come here again. Had a good stay for good value. the venue was set in the central position not far from taxis, ferries, train and bus and the Forodhani Gardens and the waterfront. It also was in the old town.

    The value for money at this hotel is really good. The room was comfortable and had a nice touch in terms of decoration. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the old town, with access to anywhere you want to go.

    The hotel breakfast menu could be improved by offering more variety and options.

    I had the pleasure of staying at a charming B&B in the heart of Stone Town. The colorful double room I stayed in was nicely decorated and had air conditioning to keep me comfortable. The rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering a cozy sofa corner and a variety of books to enjoy. The breakfast served there was delicious, with a wide range of options including fresh fruit and local jam. The B&B also allowed me to store my luggage on my last day, a great help. I highly recommend this hotel for its central location and friendly atmosphere.

    Great Value for the money, friendly staff, and clean rooms! the breakfast is a winner, with freshly brewed coffee, delicious fruit. the location is perfect too, walking distance to the night market and all the sights of the city. a lovely little B&B.

    The lack of a bar and drinking water in the rooms was a bit of a downside, especially after arriving late. It would have been better to have been offered a complimentary bottle of water or be able to purchase it from the hotel.
