“A true home away from home!”
We had an unforgettable stay at Tofauti Inn. From the moment we arrived, it felt like coming home. The lush garden was absolutely beautiful, and our cottage was cozy, peaceful, and full of charm. Every detail—from the architecture to the atmosphere—was thoughtfully designed. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. The team made us feel like we had known them for years—so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. We felt truly cared for throughout our stay. If we had to mention one downside… it’s that we had to leave! We would have loved to stay longer in this little paradise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and soulful experience in Zanzibar.

Everything was excellent and even nicer than in the internet: the room, the garden, the breakfast, the swimming pool, the beach just around the corner. And also the staff was perfect and very caring and friendly. You really feel at home! The best hotel I ever stayed at! Thank you!

“A little paradise”
We loved this accommodation. The pool and decorations are very serene making it the perfect location to relax. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it. The room was clean and the whole place maintained daily. Air con worked perfectly too. There’s a restaurant on site if you want to order lunch and dinner. The breakfast was insanely delicious - probably the best breakfast we had that was included with accommodation in our whole Tanzania trip. The staff are amazing - very friendly and hospitable. The location is not as busy - but that’s great for a more relaxing holiday. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach, and there’s another restaurant and shop nearby too. We rented a car and parked it outside the gate which was super convenient also. Thank you for our wonderful stay.
