This hotel is excellent. The staff (including the owner) is phenomenal. Everyone is so accommodating and welcoming. The staff speaks English and provides concierge service (directions, booking drivers/transportation and excursions). They were all concerned for my well-being and safety. The food at the restaurant was tasty. The pool is clean, warm, and aesthetically pleasing. The beds include a mosquito net to protect you. The air conditioning is nice and cold. The shower is nice and hot. Highly recommend!

We would love to thank the entire staff... From the registration desk, to waitress, to the cleaners... Same service level. Thanks to Marie, Doreen ect... Amazing service level!

Though a little away from things and I somehow got lost every single time I set foot outside, I did enjoy staying here. The pool was delightful and the A/C was a lifesaver. Staff was very good and helpful (e.g. immediately dealt with a blown fuse when I told them about it), but it should be noted that I think they spoke less English than the property advertised (I REALLY should have used Google translate to explain what was going on with the previously mentioned blown fuse). However, since the hotel is popular with Europeans, I suspect staff might be better at communicating in French, German or Italian. Breakfast was simple but good. They could use an update on their door locks. Other than that, I am very glad I stayed here.

Beautifully restored hotel, perfect location, great staff. Perfect place to stay for anybody that want to experience Stone town in Zanzibar.

Beautifully restored, unique villa. Unfortunately the location is an initial concern in terms of safety but we soon learned how to navigate the area safely. Small but very pleasant plunge pool - just the thing for hot, humid days

We loved Kholle House! What an amazing history is connected to the hotel! Everything was arranged for us at our request...airport pick up, spice tour, a fabulous 3 hour walking tour of stone town! Our room was perfect...very comfortable. Kholle House has a lovely pool and numerous comfortable nooks and crannies to relax, read a book, play a game. The outside dining room was lovely with delicious food at a reasonable price. Make sure you have the rooftop Swahili tea they offer!! The staff were so friendly and helpful! A fabulous place to stay!

The staff was excellent in all aspects but went over and above in some cases. First, they picked us up at airport at 2am, then our luggage was lost by airline and the staff was very helpful in following up with airline. Location is good and the rooms were clean. They also had good food. Enjoyed stay.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Stone Town! Very friendly and attentive staff, lovely breakfasts, charming and quiet garden and outdoor dining area, spacious rooms. A fantastic experience overall and would def recommend!

A lovely historical hotel in the center of Stonetown. The rooms are compact and perfect for a short visit. There is a beautiful courtyard with a small pool to cool down after a hot day of sightseeing. The staff are very accommodating

I had an amazing experience during my one day overnight stay at the hotel. The entire staff were so welcoming, helpful, courteous, and attentive to my needs. The room i stayed in was impeccably clean and tidy. The food both dinner and breakfast was the best i had during my trip. I didn't lack for much during my stay. The hotel staff assisted with any questions that i had. I would definitely stay at the hotel during any future return trips back to Zanzibar. I also recommend it to anyone thinking of a possible lodging option during a Zanzibar visit.

Good hotel, friendly staff, authentic experience. The only downside to Kohlle House is it’s location. Still close to many top attractions, but being close to the ferry terminal means for a less safe evening experience. It shouldn’t be enough to say no to Kohlle House, just be aware of your surroundings and stay on the boardwalk as long as possible.

Spent a terrific three nights at Kholle house with my 20 year old daughter -- we shared a room and were very comfortable. Enjoyed the central location, the service and the food! Staff were friendly and helpful and we highly recommend the spice farm tour and a massage -- both booked through the hotel front desk! Thank you to the staff for making our stay so special! We also recommend booking a walking tour of the city -- the streets can be a bit confusing. :) *Pool is LOVELY!

Hotel is very nice but the best part about the stay was the staff!! Everyone there was very friendly and professional. The front desk attendant Sebastian was exceptional!!! Anything we needed he was more than willing to assist. He is a huge asset to your hotel

The hotel is beautiful and the location is excellent. The food also is great, and the Swahili dinner they organize on the roof is a great experience.

Very friendly staff and extremely unique building. Loved our stay.

Cool boutique hotel...quiet, cozy. Liked the brrakfast.

Lovely place and staff. Only thing was the bed is short! If your 5’10 or above it is tiny haha. My boy and I are tall so it was an interesting experience to try to sleep on the little bed

Perfectly located, beautiful house, the staff is very nice and helpful. Strongly recommend!!

Very clean, delicious breakfast, beautiful hotel. The tours they offer and transportation they arrange was much more expensive than what you could find elsewhere in town.

The architecture is unique and exotic. Well located to Stone Town with easy access to Prison Island by water, restaurants and tourist attractions.
