Overview
Wolcome to Dhow Inn.
We are located on the beach, just north of Paje Village, on the east coast of Zanzibar. A hotel with only 6 rooms: a quiet atmosphere with quality service. Paradise? Yep...
What makes us different? We do Quality, instead of Quantity. And you can feel it...
Our aim is to cater to the modern traveler, from flashpacker to food critic to businessman in need of free a broadband connection (and everyone else who simply enjoys quality). Since our opening we have already been tipped as 'one of the funkiest places on the island'. You'll be surprised!
All the pictures are taken of the actual beach, and are not enhanced in any way.
What makes us unique on Zanzibar? Well, our philosophy is a never-seen combination:
- Small privately owned hotel with a funky atmosphere & a high quality level;
- Loungy design, all in local style, but with a European feel;
- Different relaxing area's, low noise policy, great pool;
- 2 star prices, also for food and drinks, 5 star services;
- Small, well equipped rooms, big beds;
- Socially very active, initiating various local NGO's;
- Free WiFi for all guests;
- highly qualified local staff, meticulously selected and trained;
- No small children;
Our setup is based on our personal philosophy... What do you do in your room? Wash, sleep, read a book and well, yeah, that too :-) So the rooms are small, and the beds huge, there's warm water, of course, WiFi internet, cosy bedside lamps and tasteful art on the walls.
Simple, you'll say. We say: you're right. Simply delightful.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
