Right from before arrival, managers confirmed our room as well as shuttle pick up. Room was ready for us to sleep in late at night. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Guesthouse is lovely with comfortable beds, fans, great meals, water shoes available, lounge cushions, walk to beach, advice and booking of tours, Pool is a cool alternative to the ocean. Beach is lovely. Price is very reasonable. It is a lovely, intimate, quiet, friendly place.

Tolle Lage mit guter Aussicht und Urwaldfeeling

Das Guesthouse liegt nahe am Meer (eine Häuserreihe ist davor) mitten im Urwald. Da die Landschaft leicht ansteigend ist hat man trotzdem eine gute Aussicht auf den Ozean. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, Die Anlage in einem sehr gutem Zustand. Das Badezimmer könnte noch etwas verbessert werden, aber es war auf jeden Fall sauber. Wenn man Glück hat so sieht man eine Affenfamilie durch das Hotelgelände ziehen. Die Affen sind allerdings vollkommen harmlos und eine willkommene Abwechslung. Das Pool ist eher klein, der Platz allerdings mit einer tollen Aussicht. und es gibt den BESTEN KAFFEE in ganz Sansibar!!!!!

Perfect mix of free spirit bungalow style and comfort convenience. The host team is very friendly, welcoming and can make all local arrangements for guest's adventure travel in the area. Decorations in common areas and inside bungalows are thoughtfully funky and unique which reminds you at every turn that you are in a very special corner of the world ... Zanzibar !

Great stay in the jungle room

We really loved Bellevue guesthouse; the pool is sublime/ lot of charm, food is excellent, the room charming, staff is very helpful and dedicated to customers Bweeju is more quiet than Paje, with still all the local attractions available. We enjoyed walking to Paje/ or running there (4km) to take Kite surf lessons and come back to the quiet of Bellevue in the evening

This has to be the best guest house I’ve ever stayed at! Before we arrived, Paul arranged transport from the airport, even though we arrived pretty late. From the moment we got there, we felt as if we were home. Paul really knows how to make you feel welcome, so much so, we didn’t even leave the guest house the entire second day we were there and even ended staying an extra night! They even have their own kitchen & the food was delicious!! Being in the customer service field, I really appreciate that he went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I travel the world looking for unique places to stay and the bungalow did not disappoint. The property has monkeys in the trees, geckos all over, and even bush babies come out at night! I cannot say enough good things about Bellevue! Thank you Paul & staff for making our stay in Zanzibar a time we will never forget!

Small, Friendly, Relaxing

An attractive and friendly small guesthouse. Attentive staff and management, good food. A good place to decompress, read and relax. Beach access is indirect but reasonably good; however, the nearby beach is quite dirty (including broken glass, etc.), and we walked the beach far less than we had intended.
