Loved the energy and the atmosphere of the place. While everyone was warm and friendly, they gave us also space for privacy. Clean room, nice bed with good mattress. Especially enjoyed having an evening created by Hans and his wife Lisa, where we tasted the local cuisine.We dansed and had a good time with the rest of the guests. Special thanks to lovely Dorini, Husla and Mario!! Thank you for everything 🙏

Great staff, quiet location, lovely beach for long walks. Good solution for a short stay.

The area is quiet, non commercial. Enough restaurants around, ok for a short stay. Good position to reach the The Rock area, or Jambiani, or Jozani Forest, by taxi, tuk tuk or even daladala (it stops on the main road, you just need to wave). Kind staff helped us get around. Beautiful shells on the beach (I did not find the same in Nungwi). A nice private area on the terrace to relax in the evenings (very few mosquitos, even when reading with the light on at night, but do bring your tropical insect repellent, you never know). Good breakfast, excellent smoothies - try the one with ginger. Thanks to Kimario for his tips and thoughfulness, he is a fantastic staff manager, very friendly and nice, excellent communication via Whatsapp, kind staff as well. We had dinner at Hoom restaurant once. The choice is limited, but it was fine.

Brilliant stay at Hoom

Hoom was a great find for our stay at Zanzibar. Hans and his fabulous team were there to meet us when we arrived (very early in the morning!) And kindly allowed us to check in early. It was fantastic to hear how Hans and his wife had built Hoom and their love story! We had 2 rooms at Hoom for our family for our stay. Both were lovely, clean and equipped with mosquito nets and decorated in keeping with the local style. Hans provided great guidance on trips (as well as a helpful booklet)and put us in touch with local drivers who were able to arrange airport transfers, tour guides and equipment for boat trips, snorkeling etc. Hoom is in a quieter part of Zanzibar which really suited us as we wanted to relax, it is set just off the beach down a little track with steps taking you directly on the beach in a matter on minutes! There are lots of little beach bars and restaurants within a short walk. We felt safe at all times and at night as there was the added bonus of a night time security guard. A continuous supply of electricity is a challenge in Zanzibar but Hoom have this covered as they have solar so the interruptions of power we experienced were really minimal and to be honest added to the fun of the experience. It's fair to say we had an absolutely fantastic time. We didnt want to leave.. We will miss everyone at Hoom who made is feel so welcome and we can't wait to come back!

Thank you to all the staff for making my stay a good and memorable one. I will be returning soon to stay here.

Great location about 100 metres away from the beach. Staff went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and were very helpful. Having night time security also made me feel more safe as this was my first time visiting Zanzibar.

The accommodation in HOOM was absolutely amazing. It's a beautiful quiet oasis with a clean pool. The overall environment is well maintained. There is a fully equipped kitchen, which is a great advantage. If you want to enjoy some quiet time I definitely recommend it. Bwejuu beach is not that famous so you are mostly alone in this area, but if you don't like the hustle and bustle of touristy places this is the accommodation for you.
