Georgina
Staff were absolutely wonderful, fantastic location and great breakfast; however the facilities (in particular the showers) are in dire need of replacing. We had to ask to switch rooms because the shower head burst open and was unusable. The room we moved to also had the same issue which was a real let down because it's otherwise very pleasant.
Aparna
The hot water didn’t work, rooms were not well lit, drain in the shower didn’t work properly. It is very old rooms.
ANDRE
A propriedade tem como ponto muito alto a proximidade da praia.
Tem vários pontos negativos: Todos os dias durante minha estadia faltou energia no hotel. Eles ligam o gerador porém selecionam os ambientes que irão ficar com energia. Precisei reclamar após uma hora para que a energia fosse disponibilizada para o meu quarto. Um absurdo completo.
Encontramos barata na mesa do café da manhã e no banheiro.
O café da manhã é bem simples, mas ok.
A internet é horrível em boa parte do tempo.

TIMOTHY
Staff very helpful and friendly. Steps away from the beach. Able to book tours directly with hotel. Not a lot of restaurant variety close by. Like most of zanzibar, water pressure was only slightly higher than pouring water from a bottle onto yourself but at least it was hot. Music from nearby hotels and restaurants. Electricity cuts - generator supposedly present but not turned on - part of the property had lights on but not my part.
milana
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.
Aniruddha
Close to the beach. Owner is courteous. Rooms are spacious.
Nilaja
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!
Rodney
Staff were amazing and kind. Breakfast 1st class. So peaceful at Cocolala
Elinor
Relaxed, laid back. Super nice owners and staff. Steps to the beautiful, walkable beach. Big rooms with good air conditioning. Good breakfast included. Excellent restaurants close by. Great value!
Mary
Excellent property and hospitality!
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!

Kind, friendly staff and a central location. The rooms were tidy and well prepared for one’s arrival. And the breakfast was delicious and fresh each morning. Great place, great price!
Amy
An absolute perfect stay and amazing location! Right by the beach with tons of incredible restaurants and shopping including art galleries with gorgeous local artworks for sale. The owner and the staff are among the warmest kindest humans I have ever met in a hotel setting and I truly enjoyed interacting and engaging with them. They serve the best juice here and the hotel itself is just lovely, naturesque and peaceful. I will definitely be back 💜
SYDNEY
I had a wonderful stay at Cocolala Beach House. The rooms are large, comfortable beds, excellent shower. Breakfast was fantastic and you are only steps to the ocean. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would love to come back one day.
Thank you for a great stay! So beautiful!

Lovely staff, amazing location
Great hotel right by the beach. Could walk to the beach in 30 seconds from our room. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was tasty. No complaints.
Abraham
Great location, amaizing staff, clean facilities overall great stay
Brenda
Breakfast was very simple, Location was good as vendors didn’t come around but the road is in terrible condition. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes.
Nicole
The property owner went above and beyond to make the stay as easy as possible. He arranged taxi’s, places to store luggage, and had a connection for anything you wanted to do. The property was just across from the beach and great spots to eat and drink! Would stay here again!

Home away from home
Cozy, welcoming and everything I needed - that’s my stay at Cocolala in a nutshell. 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.

Aamupala valikoima niukka. Kananmunaa, murukahvia, pancake, ei leikkeleitä. Huone oli siisti ja henkilökunta mukavia. Suihku toimi, mutta lavuaariin tuli heikosti vettä. Ilmastointi toimi.

Das Hotel wird von einer deutschen Familie geleitet. Das Personal ist äußerst höflich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war großzügig und sauber, verfügt über einen Kühlschrank und es war ein Stromreisestecker vorhanden. Über die Rezeption können auch Bootsfahrten gebucht werden. Das Hotel verfügt über keine eigenen Strandliegen aber einen direkten Strandzugang. Im benachbarten Restaurant (Blue Sea Restaurant) können Liegen kostenfrei benutzt werden, falls man etwas isst. Darüberhinaus gibt es 10% Rabatt für Cocolala Gäste. Der feinsandige Strand war gepflegt und sauber. Verkaufsstände und sonstige Attraktionen (Schildkröten, Zoo, Aquarium etc.) sind fußläufig erreichbar. Es gibt kein Frühstücksbuffet, aber ausreichend und abwechslungsreich Frühstücksteller. Falls man morgens eine Bootstour macht wird ein kleines Frühstückspaket gerichtet. Auf dem Gelände gibt es einen bewachten Parkplatz. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können das Hotel weiterempfehlen.

El hotel es muy simple. Creo que, aunque es barato, es demasiado caro para lo que ofrecen. Llegamos y no andaban las luces. Tuvimos que esperar para que lo solucionaran. El desayuno es muy limitado en opciones. Faltó variedad y calidad. La atención fue correcta por parte de la dueña

Nära strand och restauranger. Stort rum med AC och fläkt samt dricksvatten. Gemensamt kylskåp. Vårt rum saknade mörkläggningsgardiner. Härlig atmosfär.

Posizione ottima sulla spiaggia di Nungwi, colazione buona con scelta limitata, personale gentile.
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.

Hemtrevligt litet hotel på stranden mitt i ”myllret”. Mycket trevligt, rekommenderas!

Et steinkast fra stranda. Eierene var meget hyggelige og imøtekommende, satte stor pris på den mottakelsen.
Beste pris i Nungwi så nær stranda, med kort vei til alt av restauranter og aktiviteter.
Hadde rom nærmest stranda, i følge annonsen var det sjøutsikt, men det var ikke noe å skryte av. Et glimt av hav mellom en bygning og over et særdeles rustent tak var ikke rare greiene.

Bra: Stort ljust familjerum. Skön säng.
Frukosten väl tillltagen med juice, kaffe/te, frukt, ägg enligt önskemål och ”dagens sötsak” som munk eller pannkaka. Rostat bröd och marmelader. Hade gärna velat ha en ostbit.
Mindre bra:Badrummet hade lite bakfall i duschen så vi fick skrapa golvet efter varje dusch. Vårat rum låg i mitten av en loftgång som gjorde att uteplatsen inte kändes så privat.

Förutom väldigt hård säng var allt toppen!
Supermysigt hotell riktigt nära stranden. Trevlig personal och gratis frulost varje morgon. Det enda som finns att anmärka på är de väldigt hårda sängarna, men annars var allt toppen

Owners are friendly, everything else is just very average. Rooms are not nicely decorated. There are a lot of construction works going and WiFi is very slow.

Koslig, lite hotell rett ved stranden- anbefales på det sterkeste. Store rom, rent og fint, og kjempegod frokost. Stor takk til Mohamed, Sebastian og Karola som fikk oss til å føle oss så velkomne. De var behjelpelig med alt, fra å vise oss hvor det var best å snorkle i Nungwi, til å skaffe oss den beste guiden, Abbas, i Steinbyen.

Perustasoinen beach house. Ranta lähellä. Siisti. Ystävällinen palvelu.

Excellent accueil de la part du personnel et spécialement de la part de Mohammed, le manager. L'hôtel est très bien situé, en bord de plage et il y a de nombreux restaurants et boutiques. Je recommande l'hôtel, excellent rapport qualité prix. Je remercie Mohammed car il a fait son maximum pour nous trouver des activités et excursions à bas prix. Au top!
