A hotel that made us feel at home. And great value for money.
Pros:

You can tell that the owner put a lot of love and attention to every detail, the attention is extremly good to the point that they meke you feel at home. For this price is the best that you can get.

Cons:

Although it's very close to the beach (about 300 meters), it feels a bit far, especially at night when you have to walk along dark, unpaved paths. But that's just how Zanzibar's infrastructure is.

Pros:

Camere spaziose e pulite
Piscina gradevole con bei fiori
Colazione cucinata al momento, molto buona

Cons:

E' segnalato ovunque, ma la mancanza di aria condizionata si fa sentire. Così come manca un generatore per l'elettricità ( i blackout sono frequenti e non certo per colpa loro e talvolta anche i ventilatori si fermano).
Il bagno è piuttosto basico
Un solo lettino in piscina

Cons:

Litt dårlig WiFi til tider

Everything. The hotel is dirty and disgusting. It's nothing like in the picture. No air conditioning, no one cleaned our rooms for a week, so I don't recommend it!!!!!

It was a good risk 😁
Pros:

The location provides an easy access to public means because it's on the highway but it's way too far from town and from all the other excursions.

Cons:

Can do better on breakfast ,just same same set of items to pick from everyday 😔
Also the whole five days I was there my beddings were never cleaned nor changed

Very good
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Dragonfly Hotel. The price is very affordable, making it great value for money. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, especially considering the price. The location is excellent, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with a smile. While there’s no gym, the overall experience and hospitality more than make up for it. I would definitely recommend this hotel to budget-conscious travelers looking for a clean, friendly, and conveniently located place to stay in Zanzibar!

Cons:

No Air-conditioning, but they have big Ventilator.
