My stay at Beyt Al Salaam was truly outstanding from beginning to end. The hotel perfectly combines the charm and history of Stone Town with exceptional comfort and warm hospitality, making it one of the highlights of my trip. The rooms were beautiful, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed with traditional Zanzibari character while offering every modern comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable, What made this stay truly unforgettable was the incredible staff. Every single team member was welcoming, friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to making guests feel at home. I highly recommend Beyt Al Salaam to anyone visiting Stone Town. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, you can expect beautiful accommodations, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return!

We stayed one night at Beyt Al Salaam and loved its central location in Stone Town. Markets, restaurants, and major attractions are all within walking distance. The hotel has an antique charm with traditional interiors and a warm, welcoming staff. A lovely blend of heritage and hospitality.

I’m not sure what exactly was renovated in this hotel — it still feels completely rundown. The furniture is old and outdated; while the style seems to aim for a rustic look, there are limits to how far that can go. I’ve stayed here several times, and not once has the air conditioning worked properly. There are huge gaps under every door, which makes every sound from the ground floor perfectly audible even on higher floors. The location is very noisy, and with the old windows, it feels like I’m sleeping right on the street — every car, motorcycle, and loud conversation can be heard clearly inside the room. Some rooms are full of mosquitoes, which suggests no measures were taken to address that problem. The staff, although present, tend to be quite noisy and inattentive, especially during breakfast, which is very limited in choice. The only positive aspect is the location, but unfortunately, it doesn’t make up for the poor comfort and lack of maintenance. I will not be staying here again.
Response from Property: Thank you Alexander, for sharing your honest feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate your continued visits despite the challenges you have described. Our hotel is located within a UNESCO World Heritage site, a place of immense historical and cultural significance. While we strive to preserve the authentic charm and architectural heritage of the area, we understand that comfort and modern amenities are equally important. Your comments about the furniture, air conditioning, sound insulation, and breakfast offerings are taken seriously, and we are actively working to address these concerns while respecting the preservation guidelines of our unique location. We regret that your stay was impacted by these issues, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future as we continue to improve. Thank you again for helping us grow. Youse sincerely Khadija House Hotel Manager

Great location for restaurants, the night market, tours from the beach and tours into and around Stone town. We walked during the day and night and felt very safe. The 2 rooms were large, beds had mosquito nets, showers and bathroom was clean with good water pressure. The restaurant was simple and great - fast service, good prices, good food, the free breakfasts were as expected - filling and excellent. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. We would recommend this boutique hotel. Thanks for your hospitality.

AVOID THIS HOTEL We had a reservation for 2 rooms from our travel agent with confirmation from an online booking service with receipt and voucher. We arrived and they only had 1 room booked in their system. The room was unavailable as it was morning so we went on a tour. At our return they still said there was one room only but they could not give it to us as we were 4 people! A trainee was extremely difficult so we asked for the manager who was also not very accommodating but allowed us to move our luggage into one room while charging us for taxes for 4. The room had no towels, we asked for towels which they did not provide. We provided the confirmation of payment and voucher and went for a walk. At our return at 9pm, we still had no towels and no second room. They were very rude and unhelpful. The hotel was empty. The room we got was moldy and stuffy. We booked a second room in an hotel nearby called Maru Maru which which was a lot better and cheaper Avoid this hotel
Response from Property: Dear Emanuela Joyce Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely regret that your stay did not meet expectations and that there were issues with your reservation and room allocation. Please accept our heartfelt apologies for the inconvenience caused. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive with a confirmed booking and face confusion at check-in. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we are currently reviewing our internal processes to ensure such miscommunication does not happen again. Regarding the room condition and amenities, we are truly sorry that these fell short. Your feedback has been shared with our housekeeping and front office teams to address the concerns you raised, including the lack of towels and the condition of the room. We appreciate your comments about our staff and will use this as an opportunity to improve training and guest relations. Every guest deserves to feel welcomed and respected, and we regret that this was not your experience. We’re glad to hear you found a comfortable alternative nearby, and while we regret that we couldn’t provide the experience you deserved, we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. If you do, please reach out to us directly so we can ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay.

Coming from a far distance is not easy. As a human being, we all need that perfect, relaxing venue to rest our feets and Beyt Al Salaam knew exactly what they were doing!. The rooms are well settled, neat, clean, nothing to bother about. The friendliest and the most supportive staff i have ever come across, reaching right at your door as earliest as possible. Great food. Great Aesthetics. Great People. Great place to spend your night. Thank you Beyt Al Salaam for a remarkable experience, and i assuredly advice any visitors to let Beyt Al Salaam be your venue to spend the night.

An excellent place to stay and enjoy Stone Town Zanzibar. Located in the historical zone at Kelele Square, just next to the Park Hyatt. It is very near the Freddie Mercury museum and nice restaurants. Posher area than other parts of Stone Town. The breakfast is limited and sometimes they do not have what is promised on the menu. the staff are very friendly and helpful. If you have trouble walking up and down steep stairs, stay on the ground floor. However, our ground floor room toilet was not fully enclosed and the swinging doors made a lot of noise.
