Family hotels in Zanzibar
48 properties in Zanzibar are with family rooms, kids' facilities or both, starting at € 29 per night for two adults with a typical price of € 102. That is about 10% above the city median of € 93.
Of these, 43 can sleep three people in one room, 28 can sleep four and 8 can sleep five. Four in one room starts at € 28 a night, about 115% more than two people pay here.

What to look for in family hotels in Zanzibar
Properties here report family rooms, children's facilities, or both. In practice that means rooms that sleep three or more without a folding bed jammed between the wardrobe and the door, and often a pool, a play area or a kids' club. The gap between a hotel that tolerates children and one that is built around them is wide, and the amenity list does not show it.
Before you book, check
- The actual bed configuration. "Family room" can mean a double plus a sofa bed, which is not the same as two proper beds.
- Whether cots and extra beds are free, and up to what age. Charges per night add up quickly.
- The child policy for meals: some properties feed under-sixes free, others charge adult rates from age six.
- Whether the pool has a shallow section and whether it is supervised.
Maximum occupancy is enforced. A room listed for three will not take a fourth person even if the fourth is a toddler, and properties do turn families away at reception. Book for the number of people who will actually sleep there, including infants.
Worth it for: Anyone travelling with children who would rather not spend the trip negotiating space.
