Meliks, hotel in Jambiani

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

Lovely, cosy, quiet hotel that looks exactly the same in reality as in the pictures. Tastefully furnished and decorated in typical local style. Outdoor areas to relax in with friendly, helpful and unpretentious staff. Breakfast was fresh and good (although it would be nice if one or two more things could be added as it gets a bit boring after a week of eating pretty much the same thing, even if it tastes good). If you ask, the staff will organise tours and activities for you. As I have a walking disability, I was helped immediately or picked up when I had difficulties with where to go. Living in another African country where life is not safe at all and everyone hides behind high walls and security measures, I really enjoyed the feeling of peace and security in the hotel and on the island. I would definitely come back.

Helwas Zanzibar Beach Hotel, hotel in Jambiani

Offering a restaurant and a private beach area, Helwas Zanzibar Beach Hotel is located in Bwejuu. Free WiFi access is available. Each room here will provide you with air conditioning and a terrace.

The owners were incredibly friendly, open-minded, and helpful. We were the only guests during our stay, making it very peaceful. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax, this hotel is perfect. The breakfast and dinner were both delicious, and the staff was exceptionally kind and attentive. Although the room wasn't the most modern, the common areas were beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. The hotel is in a quiet area, about a 20-minute beach walk to Paje, where you'll find more restaurants and shops. At night, it's best to take a taxi or tuk tuk back to the hotel for safety.

    I loved the outdoor area. The sand throughout was cool and the pool is lovely as well as the bar and restaurant area. I like that you can walk out on the beach but locals will wait by the steps and you do get hassled a lot, especially if you’re a girl which gets so tiring! The food was really good and the bbq night is so cute. Staff were friendly, some over friendly, asking me out for drinks which made me uncomfortable as a solo traveller

    This place is really a hidden gem in Jambiani. Directly at the beach and very calm. Roberto and his wife are great hosts and support you with booking trips, getting drivers or just to answer questions or give recommendations. The rest of the staff was also great. Amazing food and breakfast. The rooms were nice and comfy. It really exceeded my expectations and definitely worth a visit.

    We had a wonderful eight days at Driftwood and probably had the most relaxed holiday of our lives. Days were spent meandering between the beach on the doorstep, pool and sun beds. Uishi and Dricus were great hosts together with all of the staff we encountered. Food was also excellent and very well priced. The bungalows may be described as rustic but met all of our needs.

    Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!
