Unlike the DBL + EXB accommodation, there's a stationary third sleeping accommodation Duplex is a room with two floors. De luxe is a room with luxurious furnishings and interior. Suite - a room with two high comfort rooms. Junior Suite - a semi-luxe with improved layout. Senior Suite - a suite that includes a bedroom and a living room. Executive Suite - a room with two bedrooms.

The size of the room is the main difference, the suite will be larger. The layout and decoration will also be different for the luxe and for the suite. On our website you can find a detailed description and photos of all categories of rooms when choosing an accommodation option.

In most cases, the guest cannot independently choose the floor, but at the same time he can indicate his wishes in the booking request or say them by contacting the hotel directly (by phone or e-mail). In cases where the demand for room stock is low, hotels can take into account the wishes of customers.

In most cases, you can cancel your booking for free up to 24 hours before check-in time. In addition, there are special offers that allow you to cancel your booking one hour before the check-in time. Cancellation charges may apply if rooms are booked at a deep discount. Sometimes you can meet completely non-refundable rates. During the high season in Zanzibar, rooms are being sold out faster and hotels typically tighten up booking conditions to reduce cancellations. For this reason, we advise you to read the cancellation policy carefully before proceeding with your booking during the high season. All the information you need is in the "Cancellation Policy" section.

A cheap, non-refundable rate is often offered when booking. It can be used by making a 100% prepayment, but it cannot be canceled and the money is not refunded if you change your mind or have to cancel the trip, for example, due to restrictions imposed due to the epidemic in Zanzibar.

On the official websites of hotels, the base price is most often offered, while in hotel booking systems (Hotels, Agoda, Booking, Expedia, etc.) there are almost always special offers and discounts. And since Hotelhunter finds and compares prices in all hotel booking systems at once, taking into account promotional and discount offers, prices here may be lower than on the official websites of hotels.

If the hotel has low occupancy, "late checkout" is possible. At some hotels in Zanzibar, it is free until 14:00. Sometimes for an additional payment of 20-50% of the daily rate. The size of the amount and the possibility of providing a late checkout should be clarified in advance with the administrator. Early check-in is also possible under similar conditions.

The price for the room includes all the services that are listed on the booking site. To read them, you need to click on the room name. Breakfast and basic taxes are often included. All this is visible when you click on the "Conditions" button. The information will be duplicated upon confirmation of the booking and will come to you by email. Also, in some cities there is an additional tourist tax, which is, on average, 0.5-1.5 euros per person for each day of stay.

Room rates vary by season, but often some hotels in Zanzibar offer booking discounts in May 2024. To get acquainted with special offers, use the search on our website, hotels offering a discount will have a special mark in the results.

On our site, the accommodation cost in Zanzibar is indicated for the room as a whole, taking into account the number of people that you specified during the search. Also, please note that the search results do not include additional services - for example, such as accommodation with a pet, provision of an extra bed, SPA procedures, etc.

Usually, hotels do not require you to leave a deposit upon check-in, however, in some cases, the hotel administration may "freeze" a certain amount on your credit card, which guarantees damages to the hotel in case the client damages his property or does not pay for additional services. This amount is returned after the checkout. If you plan to live in an apartment, then you will probably be asked to leave a security deposit - this is a common practice when renting an apartment.

Arriving at the hotel, the guest must show the administrator a passport, a document confirming the booking and a bank card.

Only one room can be booked per name. If you need to make a reservation for several rooms, then in this case you will need to indicate in the application the full names of those people who will live there.

First of all, the user needs to indicate the city of residence and choose convenient dates for visiting. The site will display the current options. A list of hotels will appear on the screen, next to which the cost of booking for each hotel will be indicated. When you select the appropriate option, the system will redirect you to the booking site with the best price in Zanzibar. Further work will take place on it. Typically, customers are redirected to the following portals: Booking, Expedia, Hotels, etc.
