Very very poor and shocking.

Fantastisk beliggenhet, veldig god service.

Antiguo edificio pero bien mantenido situado en zona central, muy particular, optimo desayuno. Buen servicio

The staff at Hiliki house are great, and really love the area. Just a bit too rustic for what I paid.

Charmante maison du début 1900.mobilier art déco et ou l art primitif africain s y mélange .pas loin du centre ville et face a un beau parc donc a l écart du bruit du centre ville a proximité. Petit déjeuner délicieux donc un rapport qualité prix dans cette ville touristique et assez chère.

PLEASE BE AWARE. This place overbooks clients so when you arrive they say there is NO reservation under your name. Then they send you to another location of much lower quality. People at the new location confirmed that they do this all the time. It is not a mistake but rather a scam. I left that second location and was lucky to find a nice hotel nearby for the same price. I did get a refund but most people will probably stay where they are forced to stay due to lack of options and uncertainty. I strongly recommend not staying at the Hiliki House.

A very nice place staying right next to old stonetown and walkingdistance to beach and old fortress. The breakfast is totaly OK, building and room spotless and everything to a very reasonable price.

It was a trip to past. House maintained the architecture and decor of 1900s.

The hotel is located very close to the historical city center only 10min away from the beach. The hotel itself is clean and has a old Zanzibari atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful, IF they are present - morning receptionist hardly present, so you can not inform yourself in case of anything - Breakfast is basic but good! A very friendly lady arranges your breakfast, however it takes half an hour plus if you are with more than two persons in the breakfast area - When, like us, you want to book the room with the bathroom on the other side of the hall be aware that fellow guests (and even people from outside) use your bathroom, even if they say the bathroom is only for you to use. The receptionists just allow this and do not inform other guests. But if you have no problem with a stranger depositing a big load before you go for your shower, this room is perfect for you! - Please check with other taxi driver (private hire) in the city center before you book at the hotel. The hotel will not search for the best price for you. The difference can be quite big (up to 10 USD). - WiFi connection only functioning (not more than 5 mbps) at the reception desk, and drops dramatically when staff uses the WiFi Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay in Stone Town and Hiliki house gave us a good start for our holiday!

It was very well located, the room was nice, didnt have shampoo, erlax environment, stuff very helpfull

Well located, but rooms lack comfort: sheets are stained and ripped, mosquito net has several large holes, there’s a damp smell.

Our stay was ok, basics provided, room was comfortable.

Union was decent value for the price paid. Nicely located right on the beach with beach side restaurants. Washrooms could be better (water temperature, electricity).

Good value for money. Breakfast was excellent but very slow service.

Insgesamt eine ganz nette Unterkunft, aber keinesfalls für gehobene Ansprüche. Schöne traditionell eingerichtete Zimmer, teilweise mit Bad über den Flur. Der Aufenthaltsraum sehr schön und das Frühstück sehr gut. Zunächst wollte man uns nicht die gebuchten und bezahlten Zimmer geben sondern einen Teil der Familie im Nachbarhaus unterbringen. Nach einigen Verhandlungen ging es dann doch. In einem Zimmer funktionierte die AC nicht, weswegen ein Teil der Familie dann doch ins Nachbarhaus umziehen musste. Man musste leider manchmal länger verhandeln und mit Frauen verhandelte man gar nicht.

From the time we checked in we felt very welcome and at ease. Hotel has nice feel to it with traditional decorations. Breakfast was tasty and fresh. Would definitely recommend it.

20m2 huone oli n.13m2. Kylpyhuone piti olla huoneessa, oli käytävässä. Patio piti olla joka huoneessa, ei ollut minkäänlaista parveketta, terassia tai verantaa yhdestäkään huoneesta. Piti olla ravintola, ei löytynyt kummastakaan rakennuksesta. Piti olla ilmainen pullovesi, maksoi 1 dollari/pullo. Piti olla siivous joka päivä, viikon aikana siivottiin kahdesti, toinen kerta pyynnöstä, edes pyyhkeitä ei vaihdettu wc:ssä eikä huoneessa. Piti olla puutarha, ainoa sisäänkäynti kadulta, talon takana oli pari puuta, ei puutarhakaluja, ei minkäänlaista oleskelutilaa. Piti olla huoneesta näköala puutarhaan, me katselimme kaltereiden läpi betoniaitaa. Tämä kaikki olisi mennyt seikkailun piikkiin, mutta: Valitettavasti lukitussa huoneessamme (avaimet mukana 24/7, koska respassa ei henkilökuntaa iltasella näkynyt) olevasta lukitusta tallelokerosta katosi poissaollessamme huomattava määrä rahaa. Epäluottamuksen vuoksi keskeytimme majoituksen ja muutimme muualle. Seurasi tietysti poliisiasemalla odottelua ym. harmia, jota ei kenellekään loma-ajaksi toivo.

Stayed at this property for a week over Christmas 2017. On arrival following a long flight and visa process I was told that the water was not working and would be fixed in 30 minutes. I unpacked my bag and went and had dinner and when I returned around 7.30pm the water was still not working. I was moved to another room in another building which was a significant step down from the original building. It was very old, smelt moldy and the bathroom was very dirty with male urinal tokens in the shower to mask the moldy smell. I wont bore you with every drama experienced at this hotel, needless to say I changed rooms on (4) separate occasions due to, water issues, double booking, air conditioning not working. Accommodation in the main house was comfortable and quite nice, breakfast was very basic and no sign of customer service, very slow and poorly managed. The manager of the hotel was very nice and spoke very good English however he was not always there, some days not at all. Other staff spoke very broken English and were not overly helpful or friendly. Overall, a very disappointing stay and not worth the money. Explore other options :)

Hotel was great, the only issue was the creaky bed that sounded like it might collapse any time we rolled over!

Hiliki House is a friendly B & B in a quiet area on the edge of Stone Town. Rooms are well furnished with carved wooden furniture and there is a relaxing sitting room overlooking Victoria Gardens. The breakfast is tasty and overall the place is a good value mid range option.
