The units at the inn are fitted with a seating area. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, some units at Chokoro House also feature a terrace. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. We really really enjoyed our stay at Chokoro house and ended up staying longer than intended. The Chokoro house team is very welcoming, kind and professional. The breakfast was excellent. A nice mix of veggies, breads, eggs, and fruit. We never had the same breakfast twice. The room was just as pictured and staff cleaned daily with bug spraying in the evening. We never saw a mosquito in our room. The pool was refreshing, clean, and maintained daily. The location is right between the main road and the beach so either is accessible quickly. We would surely stay at Chokoro house again!

The grilled shrimps, chicken fajita and chicken wrap is a must! The bed is comfortable and big, the shower is great and there’s a hairdryer and a fridge in the room. They even do a second “clean up” in the room in the afternoon to make the bed, prepare the mosquito net and spray mosquito spray. Also has a very cheap airport taxi service for only 40$.

We were looking for a quiet place to rest and feel cared. And we definitely found it. This small hotel has everything you need. excellent food kind service. a feeling of home. Attentive to everything, clean and beautiful rooms just on the beach!! Waking up with the amazing views. One evening there was a lovely band with a varied menu of seafood, fish, Italian food. A small and charming boutique hotel. Thank you for a magical birthday and an unforgettable stay
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Very spacious room- Genius upgrade! Lovely bed and working air condition. Very close to all amenities. Great hosts and very helpful staff. Amazing, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast, good coffee too!
We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!
I thought it was a great location, straight onto a quiet bit of the beach. The staff were phenomenal - extremely helpful and very pleasant. Overall, a nice boutique hotel where I would return.
Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.
