    Back to the amazing past of Zanzibar

    rating05 Dec 2025

    I had a wonderful stay at Jafferji House. The property is exceptionally clean, beautifully restored, and very well maintained. It’s an old Zanzibari house where the island’s rich traditions are brought back to life — staying here truly feels like stepping into the past of this amazing town and the timeless charm of Stone Town itself.The combination of price and value is perfect. Breakfast was very good, with generous portions and fresh local flavors. I also recommend choosing one of the higher-floor rooms for the best views over the rooftops of Stone Town.The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more pleasant. Overall, I highly recommend this place — a memorable and authentic Stone Town experience.

    Value for Money

    rating03 Dec 2025

    Located close to carpark, shops, restaurants and the sea.Beautiful rustic atmosphere with comfortable beds and rooms. The manager Mr. Kusarali was absolutely fabulous and went out of his way to help us. His staff, Manal, Peter, Muhammad and Maasai were pleasant and always ready to help.

    Good Value for Money

    rating10 Oct 2025

    My spouse and I stayed one night at Jafferji House in Stone Town, Zanzibar. The hotel is in an excellent location right in the centre of the old town, full of charm and character. The staff were friendly and responsive to our requests, which made our short stay enjoyable. Although the hotel is quite dated, it was clean and suited our needs well. Overall, it offered good value for money.

    May be not entirely what we expected

    rating03 Sept 2025

    We stayed one night in the Mercury Room, themed after Freddy Mercury. An interesting theme by itself, but this room was outside the old main building of the hotel, you have to cross a little open space to get there. It had windows , behind a closet and behind the bed, not intended to be opened. The door to the bathroom didn’t close and made a intense squeaking noise. There weren’t any towel racks, or hooks, you couldn’t hang your clothes anywhere. It just didn’t seem to have the same quality of the other rooms in the main building of this beautiful old mansion. It seem to lack care. The bathroom seemed to be not entirely cleaned , some sand was left in the shower. Breakfast was OK but not inspiring. Saying all is this after after a safari trip on the mainland, sometimes in basic tented camps, but in these places they did take care of us.We did not complain about it , and it is not that they didn’t care for us at all, it’s quite subtle, may be personal, but I would say: if this room is offered and it does not appeal to you, one could consider having a look at other rooms available. And we do love Freddy Mercury and his music, and we do respect the work of Javed Jafferji, the Zanzibar photographer who founded this hotel (his work is on display in other parts of the building).

    Unprofessional

    rating20 Jul 2025

    We had booked 2 rooms through our travel agent for our family with 3 teenage children. On arrival, it turned out that they had overbooked our reservation and the rooms were occupied by other people in the meantime. The gruff lady at reception made no effort to address or rectify this problem. We received, after a phone call, confirmation from our travel agent that both rooms had been reserved and paid for a month before and that the hotel had mailed a confirmation of this reservation.When we calmly mentioned this to the receptionist, she still refused to talk to us and was so arrogant that she would not even look at us. Being experienced travellers, we did not let it affect us too much and, through the intervention of our travel agent, were able to travel on to the beach hotel where we would stay for the last 5 days of our holiday. So it turned out to be 7 days.Jafferji house looked quite a nice hotel, but loses all its value for us because of an unprofessional staff member at the front desk. Pity.
