Worst accommodation ever!
Nothing
Everything was disappointing.
I honestly don’t even know where to start. My experience here was extremely poor, and the room was in such a disgusting condition that I had to leave on the same day I arrived.
The bathroom had a strong, unpleasant stench, and the linen on the bed was dirty, with what appeared to be blood stains. I was genuinely uncomfortable getting into the bed and had to question whether the linen had even been properly changed.
To make matters worse, my room was located directly next to the kitchen, meaning strong food smells constantly came directly into the room. The smell was overwhelming and made the room even more unpleasant to stay in.
I was also told that reception was open for “25 hours” (24 hours), which was obviously not accurate. More importantly, when I raised my concerns about the condition of the room, the owner did absolutely nothing to resolve the situation and wanted me to wait till next day. There was no meaningful attempt to address the cleanliness issues or offer any solution.
What is even more disappointing is that the owner has still not responded to me to this day and has not refunded my money, despite the fact that I had to leave the accommodation on the very same day because of the condition of the room. I find this completely unacceptable.
And to be clear, I am not someone who expects luxury. I have stayed in cheaper accommodation that was significantly cleaner, better maintained and more comfortable than this place. The price of a property is not an excuse for dirty linen, an unusable bathroom or poor hygiene.
After reading the previous reviews, I can unfortunately confirm some of the things mentioned by other guests:
• There is indeed a grumpy older man who does not speak English, which makes communication extremely difficult.
• The two ladies were friendly, but unfortunately also had very limited English.
• Do not order the pancakes for breakfast! I repeat: do not order the pancakes.

Great Stay But Electricity Was a Problem
The location was very central. 2 minutes walk from the beach and with the convenience store right next door. Our rooms were cleaned every alternate day and breakfast was lovely with fresh juice (different variety every morning) alongside fruits, eggs and pancakes). The host , Mauritius, was very hospitable.
The electricity in Zanzibar goes off often and this impacts both WiFi and water pressure. Casa Carlotta does not have a generator and on our last evening we were without light the full night and morning .

Location and cleanliness, friendly employees.
Electricity cut off from municipalities and they don’t have generators, so we stayed without AC, it was too hot to stay inside. Breakfast doesn’t have options, only egg which you can ask fried or boiled other than only coffee or tea. Fruits and juices were extremely tasty. Very light breakfast which is acceptable.
