This property was PARADISE! We had the best 4 days staying here, it was hard to leave. The staff were fantastic and accomodating to our needs. This is a smaller hotel so we enjoyed the peace of admiring the beach right on our doorstep. The food at the restaurant was very good quality, we visited other hotels along the beach but still felt our hotel provided just as good of a job. I noticed many people said the breakfast was boring, we bought massive avocados just along the road from the hotel and enjoyed this with our bteakfast. I really couldn’t fault our experience

Great family bungalow in a good location
We had a lovely family bungalow for our 3 night stay and this hotel is in a good location. Donna the masseuse was excellent, and the staff were all very welcoming. The only downside was the restaurant had limited vegetarian options for our daughter and the lighting in the evening didn't make it feel cosy so we ate elsewhere. The Kuza cave is only around 20 minutes walk away and well worth a visit.

Right on a gorgeous beach
Nice clean room. Beach side rooms are a bit small but as there is no reason to stay in the room with the beach a few steps away, it was no issue. Staff was friendly and efficient.

The view from the bungalow is nice. The staff are incredibly friendly. The director is horrible, but the regular staff do what they can to make up for it. The food menu is not updated and the restaraunt is out of many items. The bar is not well stocked and when a item is empty it is not replenished because the director is horrible. I still don't know what he is paid to do other than hurt the hotel. I went to a hostel down the beach that was far superior in amenities, food, drink choices and over all feel. Then went to another hostel that was the same and half the price. I can get a single room at a hostel and have a FAR superior experience than at this hotel. Not worth the money with so many amazing places to stay nearby.

Amazing hotel on the breach.
Everything was amazing, the staff was very accommodating and friendly. The location of the hotel is on the beach, very relaxing. Breakfast could be a little more varied and they could change the menu during the week.

Nice for a few days
Spent a few days here with my family. It's a nice lodge with a small pool. Most of the rooms are around the small pool with only a couple facing the sea. It has it's own restaurant that serves good simple food. The staff are friendly and and helpful. It's small and as such feels more intimate than some of the larger places along the beach. The rooms are quite basic, but have what you need. In general, a nice place to stay.

On the beach, great views.
Can't complain- we didn't have a room facing the beach but you didn't need one, it was literally only metres away from the beach when we left our room. The breakfast is actually more than it looks! They have an omelette station, fruit, yoghurt, different teas, coffee, hot chocolate, toast butter, cakes and croissant. The beds are really big and comfortable! The hot water doesn't seem to work at night? But that's fine, we showered in the morning/during the day. The food in the restaurant is nice too and is prepared quite quickly! Also the rooms are very clean, they clean it every day. The Italian owner is very nice. I would visit again. :)

Massively overpriced
This is a 50 dollar a night hotel that charges 105 dollars. We were put in a tiny horrible room that had dangerous stairs. Hotel staff are great and did move us as they moved everyone else who was put in that too . They are working in a hotel with terrible facilities that is way over priced. DO NOT LET THEM PUT YOU IN ROOM 7.

Cute location, but needs plumbing repairs
First impression place is cute, little individual huts on the beach, some facing the pool. Unfortunately, the infrastructure is in dire need of repairs. Our room, had only boiling hot water, no cold water for the shower, they couldn’t repair it; therefore to accommodate the problem they shut the hot water breaker to provide us with water, but by doing so we now had cold showers and this also stopped the water line to the toilet. I had to fill the toilet tank manually every time I flushed. The wifi didn’t work at our hut, it was also very spotty around the front desk. Having said all this, the staff were friendly and nice, it had a beach front restaurant and offered a free breakfast. We found out that the property is under new management, maybe in the future these problems will be fixed.

Nice hotel on the beach
We chose this hotel to be on the beach and enjoy a pool. The rooms were large as were the bathrooms. Pool was wonderful and right outside the room. The is sand from the lobby to the ocean so the foot washing bowls were great outside the room. The staff was great in sweeping the room out to maintain clean floors throughout the day. We had requested airport transport, but no one was at the airport when our flight landed and we ended up taking a taxi. The food at the on-site restaurant tastes nice, but the waits are excessive. We ended up going off-site for lunch and dinner often so that we weren't waiting more then an hour. Overall stay was great and relaxing.

They need to catch up on essential maintenance
The owners have let the maintenance go for too long. It's little things that wouldn't cost much to fix, but they can cause big problems. In particular there were many little holes in the mosquito net over the bed and my wife and I both got bitten (luckily we were taking anti-malarials). And when we unplugged the bedside lamps to plug in our phones, the lamps' plugs fell apart, exposing our hands to the electrical wiring. Also, Farouk (the owner) is charming and chatty with his guests but the way he treats his staff is not the best, and won't get the best out of them though they are all trying hard.

Beautiful location, excellent staff, amazing food
It was difficult to get there. We took a hired car from stone town and it took an hour but it was well worth it. I wished I could have stayed longer. The place was so relaxing with sunloungers right at the door of our villa, perfect place to watch the sunrise and laze around, watching the ocean and the locals fishing and harvesting seaweed. We had every meal in the restaurant and the food was amazing, especially the slipper lobster in coconut curry. Pool was clean and beautiful. Staff was polite and attentive, always looking out for you, couldn't fault them.

Best location on Zanzibar for quite relaxing
Hotel is located on a lovely beach, right on the beach on the quite side of the island. Hotel faculties are excellent with great food and drinks at very reasonable prices, a lovely pool, good wifi and staff did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. If I had to pick anything, the beach front rooms are small and a little awkward but I'd stay in the same room again to get that location. We also found there was no need to spend any time in the room unless sleeping because outside was so lovely.

Idylic aesthetic, boutique
Of all the places we saw on Jambian beach, this was the most aesthetic. The reception area, the arrangement of the 'villas' the restaurant on the beach edge and especially the flawless pool were exquisite. The service was unmatchable. We had a week in paradise.
