Great location and friendly staff made this a good way to end our honeymoon. We stayed in the split level karma sutra suite which included an outdoor bathroom. We also had a cooking lesson in the hotel which was a nice way to spend an hour. Would recommend.

Quite simply we loved staying at Javed Jafferji's wonderful hotel, which is situated slap, bang in the middle of the busy narrow pedestrian shopping streets in Stone Town. It's also conveniently situated near the old fort and the sea. Once inside you immediately leave all the noise and are welcomed by some fabulous hosts, who do their utmost to make... More

This visit in Stone Town, Zanzibar for four days was an enchanting experience. This remodeled single family dwelling has a dozen rooms outfitted with antiques and pleasantries dating back to the early 1800s. My stay was in the Princess Salme suite which made me feel every inch 19th Century royalty. It was so charming I spent hours just soaking up... More

Its a new hotel so the 'authentic' bit is obviously cleverly designed. However, this boutique hotel in central Stone Town is perfect for those looking for something with a real Zanzibar feel. Lots of photos, masks, and 'africana' all round the hotel, giving it a layered, character feel. I looked at the Out of Africa room which, in my opinion,... More

Stayed at Jaaferji one night, and we just loved this hotel. The staff is unbelievable friendy and service minded - we were always met with a smile. The rooms are exciting, and each suite has its own history. Quite romantic. However, there were lots of ants in the bathroom and some (other?) insects that bit. Not very pleasant!

We stayed there beginning of January. The place is amazing, with a fantastic decoration, in all parts of the hotel. We had a nice room, clean and richly decorated, and really enjoyed it. The breakfast was good.

This place is so unique , the staff are so polite and the rooms are magnificent , we enjoyed our 2 night stay , and have great memories , Livingstone bar was a good place to go for drink and unwind , Carolyn and Tony , Wilmslow

Stayed here for 2 nights very recently. This place seriously needs to renovate. First, there is no vehicle access on the street where the entrance is, so you have to lug your suitcases from around back, and they didn't bother to send any porters (I was with a group of 7). Next, you walk into the main lobby and the... More

Jafferji House is located in the heart of Stonetown. The rooms are clean and each one is different. There is no lift and lots of steps. Not so good for someone elderly or with health issues. Breakfast is good but the menu for dinner needs improvement. Our melas took a long time to be served and the restaurant staff tries... More
