Overall Ratings & Reviews Cocolala Beach House

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!

Staff were amazing and kind. Breakfast 1st class. So peaceful at Cocolala

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!

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!

Hosts and staff very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Location wonderful with many restaurants within easy walking distance. Hosts organised trips at a competitive prices. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a life in the slow lane in paradise

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!

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 💜

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!

Nice location, budget-friendly, and great staff. You are also able to arrange tours and airport pickup with the hotel.

Good place to stay, right on the beach

Great hosts and very friendly and helpful staff. Easy check-in. Property situated 50 meters from the beach, with the Eastern Africa dive center right around the corner. Thank you for a lovely stay.

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.

Great location, amaizing staff, clean facilities overall great stay

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.

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.

The bathroom was unsafe with things being able to fall down.

Really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic location, right on the beach, the staff is lovely. Thank you.

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.

Molto disponibile e caloroso , atento alle nostre necessità e anche comprensibile per l orario di check out . Raccomando.
