Location of Villa Biba is excellent, right in front of the Jambiani beach with 5 large bedrooms , 4 bathrooms. Staffs are very friendly, the housemaster Kiru is very helpful and our group of 12 persons ordered dinners every night, excellent foods . The driver pick up us at the airport on arrival and bring us back to the Ferry the last day of our trip in Zanzibar.

Wonderful house on stunning quite beach We stayed at Villa Biba in two families. The house is absolutely wonderful, spacious, bright, directly on the beach and with all the necessary comforts. The phenomenon of high and low tide right in front of the house is incredible, a unique spectacle. A little difficult for children when the sea retreats, but we took the opportunity to visit the island. The staff is definitely very kind, helpful and pleasant. We have no hesitation in recommending this house and excellent location with very few tourists (in the month of August).

Perfect location for an extended family getaway We had nine of us ages 17 to 70, everyone was pleased with the accommodations the food prepared by the cooks and the service of the driver Hassan. This place is right on the beach with gorgeous sunrises. This is not a Marriott resort, so don’t expect that. It is also an hour away from the ferry terminal, so plan for the time cost of transportation. Hassan was very reasonable and got us a nice bus for our trip. We would definitely consider staying here again should we return to Zanzibar.
