Meliks, hotel in Jambiani

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Meliks offers accommodations in Jambiani. The guest house has a sun terrace and water sports facilities. Free private parking is available on site.

The manager, Alex , was amazing, very resourceful, and the staff generally was hardworking. The beach was right there, with the sand starting right outside our door. Hot water was available, and on the day we arrived, we got there late due to a delay in our flight. The driver was waiting for us at the airport, and we paid the same price we'd agreed on, and the kitchen was closed, but Alex made us amazing chipsmayai(fries and eggs). It was next to other hotels, so we had diverse culinary options. And jambiani Beach was calm but close enough to Paje whenever we wanted excitement and adventure. The staff helped us book fairly cheaper trips and activities compared to the prices I got from activity agents before getting there, I was also advised on which trips were similar so we didn't spend too much money for repeated experiences we didn't require.

    We liked the warm welcome from the hosts and staff. The property is not on the beach but access is easy by walking through the village. The property restaurant is managed by an Italian chef, the food is excellent. It’s next level to what we find in the area. We had diner for the four nights of our stay!. Jambiani is a nice quiet beach.

    We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!

    Great location. Very nice hosts. The room is clean but poorly equipped. Breakfast ok but juices tasteless and too diluted with water. Evening barbecue with seafood and fish sensational. Peace and quiet and very safe.

    Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.

    great quiet boutique hotel with very nice staff and great location. The tide on the beach was no problems at all as we enjoyed a walk to the blue water in about 20min at low tide, and could swim easily when high. Prices were very good and the hotel offers great value for money, charm and a nice homey atmosphere that we loved. we had an incredible stay, were able to fully relax and recharge and were pleased by the full team - in particular Happy always doing her best to make our stay magical! Recommend 100%.
