First the positives : 1. This is a 'real' part of Zanzibar. The beach is used by fisherman all day and from 5pm onwards the locals come out to swim, play football and stroll. There is plenty of room for everyone though and we found everyone friendly and always smiled when you say hello. 2. The rooms are really nice... More

We stayed four nights and loved the beach side location. Imani delivered on what is important to us - friendly people, a clean room, a decent shower and A/C to cool down to sleep. Staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. The treehouse restaurant/bar/lounge was the perfect hangout at any time of day and a cold drink to watch the glorious... More

Take a cab 20 minutes to the north of Stonetown and find a beautiful tree house from where you can enjoy a perfect sundown. We stayed one-night stay at this calm and friendly hotel and got to enjoy good service and a beautiful environment. A nice little beach invites you to swim just by the hotel, but due to respect...

I choose this accomodation because of the many halleluja reviews. I like to make a few comments; The swahili beds are suiteble for people under 1.80mtr when you are taller you have to be creative. The beach is almost a public one because of all locals who walk along you when you are on a sunbed. The food was not... More

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here last Summer. We loved it. It is more budget than other accommodation in Zanzibar but was great value! The room was super clean and cleaned every day. Our bed had flower petals on it when we arrived. It was so gorgeous and such a surprise. Simon was great to give us advice and was... More

We stayed at Imani Beach Villa for 9 nights. Imani is a great place to stay on the west coast of Zanzibar. Imani is a small family run hotel, located on the beach front. It has its own beach with loungers, towels and umbrellas provided. The main building consists of the reception and rooms. We stayed in room 2 and... More

We stayed here for the 7 most relaxing nights of my life. Simon and his team made everything simple. Everything can be worked around you, and everything is flexible. Me and my girlfriend arrived separately, yet they were happy to make two airport runs. Breakfast starts from 0730...but then is available until whenever you want to get up. One morning... More

We had a lovely stay at Imani. It's not a hotel to book for a beach holiday. It's a place where you can have a glimpse of Zanzibar life, relax and explore. Location: Amani was a perfect base from which to explore Stonetown. The city can be quite hectic so it was nice to go back to the outskirts in... More

We stayed here for two nights at the end of our trip and thought Imani was a great place. Simon the owner was brilliant. We'd already had 6 days of beach holiday so were looking to use Imani mainly as a base from which to wander around Stone Town which wasn't actually in the city itself. It was perfect -... More
