All units come with a terrace with pool views, a fully equipped kitchen with a toaster and a fridge, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. A patio with an outdoor dining area and garden views is offered in all units. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay and would recommend 100/100.

We enjoyed every moment in Zanzistar ☀️ all employees were so nice, helpful and supportive. We loved the area, people, food ... Simply everything. Peter helped us with tours, mainly organized by Kacho and his team. Kacho is great guide, highly recommended. If you wish to spend your vacation with locals and not many tourists, Jambiani is great place to go and enjoy the atmosphere of real Zanzibar ❤️ we THANK everyone in Zanzistar who made our holiday unforgotable!

The property is beautiful! The location was great, a short walk to the main busy beach but far away enough to have some peace and quiet. I cannot rave enough about the staff. They were so kind and accommodating.
Jambiani Beach, Jambiani
The Amka Guesthouse consists of two building complexes and is privately managed.
Guesthouse No. 1 has five different rooms and one apartment in various categories, ideal for singles, couples, and backpackers.
This place was beautiful! We loved that it was set back from the beach so it was quiet, yet we had easy access to the ocean and we had a wonderful view of the turquoise waters from our large covered balcony. The balcony was an extension of our huge and pleasant room. A delicious and plentiful breakfast was delivered to our balcony each morning.
The owner was very kind! He allowed us to stay extra time, since our taxi wasn't arriving until after check-out time.
Nungwi
Located in Nungwi, on the quieter north east coast of Zanzibar, Game Fish Lodge is situated along the beachfront and features an in-house restaurant, bar and a sun terrace. Free private parking is offered on site. The place is very special and therefore might not be right for everyone. I typically don't write reviews, but as the place is so special (and as I just missed a flight ;)) I would like to help directing the right people into the place: Come here if you are looking for: - a very personal experience with your hosts. After a very short time you will rather feel like visiting friends than being at a hotel. - amazing self-cooked food. Breakfast and dinner is also just like friends cooking for you. Collin is an amazing chef. Try his tuna steak. You will get cheaper offers for dinner in local restaurants, but in terms of quality and quantity they can't compete with Collin. Mind that Collin might not cook every night for you (e.g. when rugby is on), so talk early to him when you want to eat at the lodge. - a calm and spacious place in which you can sit directly at the sea in an exclusivity you will not have in all the nearby high-end hotels. You will have a huge property almost for your own. - very nice other guests. People are chilled and it's true what's written in the other reviews. Collin kicks out people who spread negative vibes ;-) - great views and a lonely sandbank. From the sand beach and pool terrace on the rocks right next to the sea and from the terraces of your bungalow you will have amazing views to the sea. Don't come here if you are looking for: - "Zanzibari 5-star service" in which you have a waiter every 5 meters serving you a cocktail and cleaners cleaning your room twice per day. It's just the 2 people owning the place and 1 employee. - A new hotel with a lot of standardization which was just build 1-2 years ago. The place was built over the past 20 years by the owners. Collin used to be in the construction industry himself so everything is built nicely. He does not like edges and standardization, so you will not feel like in a branded hotel. - Sand beaches to swim. Go to the west side of Nungwi.

We were looking for a quiet place to rest and feel cared. And we definitely found it. This small hotel has everything you need. excellent food kind service. a feeling of home. Attentive to everything, clean and beautiful rooms just on the beach!! Waking up with the amazing views. One evening there was a lovely band with a varied menu of seafood, fish, Italian food. A small and charming boutique hotel. Thank you for a magical birthday and an unforgettable stay
Great location, attentive staff and great hosts Max and his wife. The food here is amazing. And the pool too.
Very spacious room- Genius upgrade! Lovely bed and working air condition. Very close to all amenities. Great hosts and very helpful staff. Amazing, fresh fruit and cooked breakfast, good coffee too!
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!
I thought it was a great location, straight onto a quiet bit of the beach. The staff were phenomenal - extremely helpful and very pleasant. Overall, a nice boutique hotel where I would return.
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.
