The owners are amazing, Max & Elena were so friendly with us and helpful with whatever we needed. Also they contacted us through whatsapp before we come to make sure everything is clear with their facility, restaurants recommendations, breakfast timings, and more. They made great decorations for me & my daughter birthday. Also they provided a yummy fruity cake. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit Zanzibar, the place is near the beach only two min away. Near all the activities, and local shops, and restaurants. Max was very welcoming, they have friendly dog that my daughter loved alot. I LOVED the place so much, definitely gonna stay here again if am back to Zanzibar.

Perfect location, perfect size, perfect service--the place is a real gem. I took advantage of the total quiet to have a relaxed, zero-effort vacation and was perfectly satisfied, but it would be a great spot to explore from with tours as well. Can't recommend it highly enough, everything you need in one place, like a mini-resort experience without the crowds and price gouging.

This was hands down the best place to stay in Zanzibar! I was looking for somewhere quiet to relax with amazing sunset views, and this spot couldn’t have been more perfect. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the chef even taught me some Swahili! The staff were incredible: always friendly, attentive, and going out of their way to make sure everything was just right. It’s the little things that really stood out. On my last day, I had a late-night flight and was going to miss breakfast. Without me even asking, they packed one up for me to take on my trip. That kind of thoughtfulness says everything about how much they care for their guests. I’d 100% recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat if I get the chance to visit Zanzibar again!

We accidentally came across the African bungalows and can surely say it’s one of the nicest hotels we stayed in. The hotel is new and is lovely. So much attention to detail and has this lovely African vibe. From simple things like WiFi connection, which is hard to find in Zanzibar, to air conditioning. The rooms are spotless and service is offered every day. The hotel has a pool, which gives you a break from the busy beach and being constantly approached by people selling tours. The hotel facilities are amazing and so is the stuff working here. We felt so welcome, very safe and looked after.

We really enjoyed our stay at AVO Boutique Hotel. The beach right below the hotel was calm and beautiful – the perfect place to unwind away from the crowds. Our room was comfortable and always clean. One of the highlights was the food – every meal was delicious, so much so that we didn’t even bother eating anywhere else! The owner and the team were all super kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. It’s a quiet, cozy place with great vibes – we can't recommend it enough :)

    Exclusive, warm, welcoming, clean, top notch food (esp. at Maisha Restaurant - went for dinner), excellent service, amazing beach (sandy, clean, Kendwa beach is one of the nicest in the Zanzibar) with guards watching all the time so that you are not bothered by the beach boys.

    The sea and beach with super soft and white sand are absolutely fabulous and relatively clean. I got bitten by sand fleas on my legs because I spend a lot of time in the sea and walked barefoot. There is a lot of informal trade on the beach by locals trying to sell something. Maybe even more so if you are a woman walking alone.
