I booked for 1 night in in the Demani Lodge and finally stayed 2. I slept in a cosy bungalow. I loved the quietness and the location. It's as you were in a little jungle. The workers as the manager are very friendly and helpful. You are only few minutes away from a beautiful, white sand beach. The breakfast is delicious all handmade with fresh fruit as the dishes for dinner. Chill atmosphere. The room was very nice as and the bed decorated with real flower petals. I can just recommend it. Asante sana+

Beach Vibe place at affordable rate

The place is good and its just near to the center of Paje. It's along the main road and transport is accessible. The place is a beachy vibe with a swimming pool. The rooms are OK but do not expect too much. You are not paying for a hotel price. 😝 Every Thursday they have a party but unfortunately I left the hotel Wednesday. 😝 Their foods are delicios at a reasonable price. They have also a bar where you can chill and drink. The best part in this place is the staff specially the owner. She is very welcoming and always care for the guests. I feel like I have my mom beside me. Thank you

100% recommended

The staff was great and super nice. Amazing room and common areas including the pool and very clean. It's a 2-min walk to get to the beach, which is super convenient. We also eat there once and the food was delicious.

Not on the beach, didn’t have mosquito sprays or a rug for the toilet, so when you take a shower all the room gets wet

I loved it so much!

It was so so so great, I loved it there!!! I probably stayed a bit longer than most of the guests and really became part of the family. I met the nicest staff ever and had the most amazing time there. It's a bit out of the way from Paje but you can be in town in 2 minutes on the Boda Boda/ 30 minute walk, but a pool day at demani is also highly recommended if you just want to relax :)

I totally recommend, and if I'll visit Zanzibar again, I'll definitely stay there

The staff was very friendly, hospitable and willing to help you and give you information about everything! it is very nicely decorated and all wooden (that I'm in love with the wood). The food (breakfast which is included, and dinner which is extra in the price but worth it) was really delicious

Chilled, easy place

Very friendly staff, good food, 3 minute walk to the beach, lovely pool to dip into. The complex is sandy so no need for shoes and you do feel you are on a shady beach. There is no air con at the moment but room fans. The party on Thursday night is great fun with mix of locals and guests, it goes on to the early hours but other than that it is very quiet.
