Members' reviews on BALCONY HOUSE
The hotel is Ideally located, beautiful with nice arab touch design in the heart of Stone Town. The architecture is atypical and lovely. The facilities are very well provided with good Wifi connexion, a washing machine, and several living rooms and balconies to chill and relax.
Our main interlocutor was Saed. He was very kind, available and provided us great with advices regarding places to visit and local restaurants to eat etc.
We booked 2 activities with Balcony house at very affordable prices:
- half day trip to Prison Island and Nakupenda that we really loved and higly recommend
- full day safari blue which had several down sides that need to be improved. First, there were some delays so we had to wait an hour at the beach without any indications before the activity started, then we were 37 (inluding staff) on a boat with a capacity of 15-20 max, some of the people had to sit on the floor and we counted only 3 safety jackets. Finally, the captains provided only 1 tent of approx. 3m² to shelter the 37 people from the midday sun on a sand bank we stayed 1.5 to 2hours on.
