Frequently asked questions

What is the nightly rate for a motel in Zanzibar?
You can find a great deal from $81 on Zanzibar motels with Expedia. Typically, prices are higher during popular times – like weekends and holidays – while staying midweek is often cheaper. To find the best nightly rates on Zanzibar motels, try to be flexible with travel dates, and sort search results by price from low to high.
Is it better to stay in a Zanzibar motel or hotel?
Motels and Hotels have different perks. When you stay at a motel, you're likely to find free parking and an outdoor pool. Staying overnight at a motel, can be handy when requiring easy road access. You'll often have access to your room from outside, and directly from the parking lot. Hotels generally have room access from inside the building. Motels are also often less expensive than hotels. The word "motel" was coined in 1925 by the owner of the Milestone Mo-Tel in San Luis Obispo, California.
