    First of all it's very clean everywhere, it's beautiful and green ? But what makes the place amazing is the stuff. I would like to thanks Everest he helped me to organize my trips. Special thanks to the Manager Hussain who was very professional and helpful. Demani is definitely the place to stay in Paje.

    Should be better

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    For the price point and what it is, Demani is a hidden gem. It was extremely easy to find. Had easy parking. Great selection of foods and drinks to choose from. Excellent complimentary breakfast. Area was clean and comfortable and easy to relax and and enjoy with multiple seating areas with a pool. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Bathrooms and showers were the same way. Staff were very nice and easy to talk with and order from. Overall, this is one of the few places that, if/when I come back to zanzibar, I would absolutely stay again. Nothing really. Loved it all. WiFi could be a little slow at times, but not anything I’d really even consider as a negative.

    Everything was okay, I really enjoyed my stay at Demani. Nice location, close to the beach. Everyone was super nice and helpful!

    Great bungalows, the pool, breakfast Little far from Paje but you can easily find a taxi or just walk

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    The beds were very hard by the second day I was experiencing pain in my hips and thighs and couldn’t bend over the mattresses really need to be addressed as well as the furniture out in the bar area.

    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 For me, two things were the problem. 1) the internet connection that is poor in the area of the rooms and 2) it's a little bit far away from Paje city and Jambiani city

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Jan 2025

    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. Rooms are a little warm and a small fridge in the room to keep water cool would have been welcome

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    Everyone is always very easy going, with good and relaxed vibes - the atmosphere is so good! The food is also very good. And try the massage with stella, its not so expensive but very good! Suoernice trip: Spices tour! Small things (hot water didnt work / noise because of repairing appartments) which were not very bad for me - the staff is always willing to Help and find a good solution!

    Breakfast was amazing , great hosts and ideal location highly recommended. amazing party every Thursday.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    you stay in a room like a private bungolov, it has a balcony. The facility has its own garden and pool. these are very nice. Parking is free. There were small insects and ants in the bathroom and in the room, a small single bed in a single room could have been bigger.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    The whole set up was fab. Staff were great, food great, atmosphere. Great value for money. Our room was a great size. It was all as expected. Location was slightly away from the beach and centre of Paje, but I knew that when we booked.

  • Engine customer Sep 2024

    I like the friendly staff, food, beauty and quietness of the place. Also, massage treatment and relaxing on the pool was an amazing experience. Room and facilities are less than expected. Maybe this will be a problem for families, but the overall experience was amazing for couples or singles.

  • Engine customer Mar 2024

    Beautiful place, very nice staff and a fun party on the Thursday evening. The pool is clean and there are enough beds.

  • Engine customer Feb 2024

    We chose this accommodation because of the price, the cuisine and the party that takes place here. All our expectations were met. The breakfast was good, the party was perfect and the environment with the pool is very nice in that warm environment we lacked air conditioning, but we knew that the accommodation did not provide air conditioning

  • Engine customer Feb 2024

    nice stay we feel like home

  • Engine customer Feb 2024

    Very nice place near Paje and Jambiani. Rooms was nice and cleaned every day. Food and beverages are in good prices and quality is so high and good. Every Thursday owners make some local party it was incredible fun ?? The bigest plus for staff !
