Would highly recommend anyone looking for a life in the slow lane in paradise ##### John Paul Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nilaja 8 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I really enjoyed my stay at Cocolala Beach house. From the owner Carola, to the staff, they were all extremely friendly and helpful. Being that I took a solo trip for my birthday to Zanzibar, I really appreciated Carola in making sure my day was very special. If I had any questions or needed any assistance, someone was always around to help me. The hotel was always clean and fully supplied with water and toilet tissue. If you’re looking for a comfortable and safe hotel with a 2 minute walk to the beach, this is your place! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5b142cd-9cd6-4dcb-ba94-3bf10ed4e58c-1749414966483.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31589d33-f5bf-4c59-ba27-a9403bc43cb5-1749414966823.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Nilaja Stayed 12 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### milana 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay awesome A/C and breakfast Owner of this hotel Sebastian and his wife goes far and beyond our expectation. We’re friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was awesome every day and air conditioning was superb… beach is 1 min walk and location has a lot of good restaurant. We highly recommend this place for couple and families. We had room for 4 and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Sebastian organized for us transport from airport when we arrived . He also organized tour which was reasonably priced and time wise very well calculated ( spice farm, prisoner island and Stone town) right before our departure from Zanzibar. I am glad I choose this hotel for our family of 4\. We already missing Zanzibar. ##### milana Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda 16 Mar 2024 Liked: Room comfort Breakfast was very simple, Location was good as vendors didn’t come around but the road is in terrible condition.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Cocolala Beach House in Zanzibar! From the moment I arrived, the warmth and kindness of the staff made me feel right at home. The manager went above and beyond, ensuring a welcoming and seamless experience—her hospitality truly set this stay apart. The room was wonderfully comfortable, with excellent air conditioning and an overhead fan, making it a perfect retreat after a day in the sun. One of the standout moments for me was when I had early morning scuba dives—since breakfast was served later, the manager thoughtfully prepared a to-go breakfast for me, a small but incredibly meaningful gesture that made my experience feel truly 5-star. Beyond the fantastic service, I loved the outdoor space—a peaceful porch and well-kept surroundings, ideal for relaxing. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach and within walking distance of amazing restaurants. If you're considering where to stay in Zanzibar, I highly recommend Cocolala Beach House for its comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again! ##### Mary Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly owners, great location Good place to stay, right on the beach ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chevy 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice location, budget-friendly, and great staff.

They serve the best juice here and the hotel itself is just lovely, naturesque and peaceful.

Huge, clean and well equipped bedroom and bathroom. A peaceful hotel that is literally steps to a great swimming beach (you can swim seaweed free any time if day) restaurants, activities and shops. Huge hot breakfasts (I could never finish at one sitting). Hammocks in the garden for lazing around. Most of all Cora, Mohammed and Sebastian were gracious hosts. They gave me helpful recommendations for where to swim, local places to eat and the best prices for beach chairs. They connected me with a Budabuda (motorcycle taxi) so I could explore town. And all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Cocolala. I’ll be staying there if I return to Zanibar. ##### carla-krystin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tomas 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nära strand och restauranger.

Le foto non rispecchiano la struttura dove siamo stati mandati, che era una specie di area di serie B, mentre le foto di presentazione mostrano altre soluzioni. Il bagno non scaricava: abbiamo dovuto aprire e richiudere ogni volta il tappo dello scarico. ##### Laura Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pia 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cocolala Nuwgui Hemtrevligt litet hotel på stranden mitt i ”myllret”.
