Zanzistar Lodge, hotel in Jambiani

Set in Jambiani, in the middle of a local village , Zanzistar Lodge features a sun terrace with outdoor pool and is located just a short stroll away from the beach.

Absolutely loved the laid back vibe of this place.I was offered an upgrade and had the room right by the beach. The tasteful interior of the rooms attracted me to this hotel initially. This is the kind of place you can walk barefoot in all day. Its small and intimate with really friendly people working there. And delicious food! Great drinks! Wonderful beach bar with a fun swing!

Vanilla House, hotel in Jambiani

This traditional Zanzibar-style house is located in the Jambiani village, on a private, palm-lined beach. It offers a terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean and a communal living/dining area.

Coziness. I could sit at the veranda all day and just watch the view and sip authentic Zanzibari coffee. The vast ocean is few steps away from the doorstep and this home is definitely located in a heart of Jambiani. Great access to the beach. Great staff. Good vibe. Something that tells you-pole pole-just relax and keep watching the ocean. Or the Sunrises!

    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.

Very clean eberything, and friendly stuff, especially Lina. We liked the endless beach with a lot of great beach bars and restaurants nearby. The room is clean and the sunrise and ocean view is superb.

    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%.

    It‘s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy Zanzibar. The owners Denisa & Valentin are such great hosts, the staff is super friendly, the food amazing (they have also vegetarian options), the rooms beautiful, the bed big and comfy. This boutique hotel is a real paradise where you don‘t want to leave.
