The outdoor space and a not crowded beach is only 10 min walk away
mohamed “Small gem away from chaotic places”

I had a great stay at Rafiki. Is quiet far from town but it was the best choice for me, to avoid touristic places. 10 mins walking from the hostel, you can fine the most beautiful and isolated beach. The hostel itself is was amazing. I was staying in a private room with private bathroom. Everything was clean and bed was comfy. Great to have a fan for hot days. Its similar to a bungalow so its normal to find geckos in room or flies. The staff was amazing and girls prepared a rich breakfast (included). Being far from town, you can call a driver or you can wait till 6/7 pm and go there with owner Rafiki (for free) and I think that is really a nice service to offer. Suggestion: for lunch, you can buy anything and put it in the fridge in kitchen

Smrekar “A perfect seaside retreat with outstanding hospitality”
15 Sep 2023
My stay at the East Sandbank Apartment in Zanzibar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality that truly made this trip memorable. The owner's willingness to go above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable is truly commendable. Offering lifts to the beach and restaurants was a fantastic convenience, making exploring the beautiful surroundings effortless. The breakfast served here was a delightful surprise. Fresh fruits galore, alongside a delicious spread, provided a perfect start to each day. It's evident that attention to detail and guest satisfaction are top priorities at East Sandbank. The seaside location was idyllic, allowing me to unwind and enjoy the stunning views. Clean and well-maintained, the apartment provided a comfortable retreat after a day of adventures. I can wholeheartedly recommend East Sandbank Apartment to anyone seeking a tranquil seaside escape with a gracious host. I'm already looking forward to returning to this wonderful place. Thank you for making my stay in Zanzibar truly special!
