Schon etwas überlaufen, wenn man zum falschen Zeitpunkt kommt. Zimmer okay, aber nichts besonderes. Kleiner, zentraler Pool. Kam vielleicht zum falschen Zeitpunkt, denn mir war’s zu voll. ……………………………………. ………………………………………. ……………………

Newly FIREFLY Stone Town captures the vibrant charm of Zanzibar’s old town, super well located. With its stunning rooftop, impeccable service, and signature style from Bagamoyo sister hotel. Thoughtful details, rich colors, and warm ambiance make it a must-visit boutique hotel experience. We did Book Three rooms on the same floor;

Beautiful authentic place with a great vibe. The staff is great and the atmosphere really cool. The garden, the music played, the food served, the house cats, everything was nice and real. For people looking for "off the beaten tracks" stays.

Super chillige Location. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Für den Start in Tansania perfekt. Essen sehr lecker. Zimmer ausreichend (kein Luxus, aber alles wichtige vorhanden). Das Highlight ist die Sitzlounges und der Pool.

Again the Firefly team welcomed us with great service! The rooms are comfortable, spacious and refreshingly simple. The ambience is zen, yet invigorating. The pool side area is the best, little quiet corners or group tables, you have the choice. The food is always good and different. It is also the people who make this place unique: home away from home. Such a great team. We were 26 people and they managed to deliver once again! Thank you!

We arrived 6 adults and two kids with a hired bus directly from DSM airport, tired after a long journey from Denmark. The Firefly staff were very helpful and we had different rooms we could choose in between. The food at Firefly is very good and every one had good use of the small, but nice swimmingpool. The beach is broad, but quite dirty because of many fishing activities from the coast. But if you are prepared to walk some hundred meters to the south, you can swim i n some 33 degrees celsius warm water.

Lo unico que merece la pena es la zona chill out con piscina, el personal es muy amable pero la dueña no tanto. Me dieron una habitacion enana con olor a fleet que me ahogaba y mas calor que en la sauna. Pedi que me la cambiasen la dueña dijo que estaban fully booking y que no podian y me invito a moverme a un hotel que segun ella estuviese a mi nivel argumentando que este era un edificio historico y lo mantenian asi. Tras mi agencia hablar con ellos casualmente si tenian 2 habitaciones a elegir por lo que obvio me habian mentido. Me dieron una habitacion mas grande si pero cuando llegue en la noche jabia unos bichos gigantes algunos muertos otros no. Recalco tambiem que la mezquita de en frente llama a todos a rezar a las 5.30 a.m por lo que si tu sueño no es profundo te despierta. El desayuno tardan mas de media hora en servirlo y si quieres cafe prensado lo pagas a parte. Cene una vez y tardaron hora y pico en servirme. Conclusion no lo recomiendo

Das Hotel hat in Wirklichkeit von außen überhaupt keine Ähnlichkeit mit den Fotos vom Hotelier. Innen sind die Fotos vom Hotel sehr geschönt. Der Preis ist absolut ungerechtfertigt. Wir waren von der Hygiene so enttäuscht, dass wir unsere bereits bezahlte Übernachtung (fast 200€) nicht wahrgenommen, sondern spontan ein anderes (modernes und sauberes) Hotel in Dar es Salam (60€) gebucht haben. 1. Es gab keinerlei Service. Wir hatten eine Rundreise in Tansania und das war unser 10. Hotel. In allen vorherigen wurden wir am Auto begrüßt und unsere Taschen wurden an die Rezeption getragen, während wir einen Begrüßungstrink erhielten. Dieser Service ist uns nicht wichtig, aber im Vergleich dazu mussten wir uns im Firefly durchfragen, bis wir überhaupt den Check In fanden und mussten dann ca. 15 Minuten warten, bis die Besitzerin zu uns kam und unsere Daten aufnahm. Nach Taschen wurden wir nicht einmal gefragt. 2. Das Hotel ist dreckig und ungepflegt. Es sah bereits von außen absolut baufällig aus (siehe Foto). Von innen bestätigte sich dieser Eindruck. Die einen mögen es als gemütlichen Hippistyle beschreiben, wir empfanden es als dreckig. Dass überall Matratzen im Hof (es ist definitiv kein Garten!) liegen, kann sehr gemütlich sein. Wenn diese aber wie hier ausnahmslos fleckig und durchgelegen sind, dann denken wir eher an die Schlafgelegenheit eines Obdachlosen, als an eine Hotelecke zum wohlfühlen. Der Blick in die Küche und das Badezimmer unseres Zimmers ließ uns dann komplett schaudern. Die Fotos sprechen für sich selbst.
