Blue Reef Sport & Fishing Lodge and Bungalows ★★★

"Me and my friend were on vacation and had a lovely stay here! The main restaurant is located in a wonderful place, with a picturesque view, so you can enjoy very tasty food and the ocean at the same time. Delicious seafood, meat, and all the dishes are very wonderful. Oh en don’t forget to drink the delicious cocktails at the bar! Our room was located on the ground floor, with a beautiful garden, and 30 sec walk to te white sandy beach. Our room was cleaned daily. All the staff were really friendly and their service was great! We enjoyed every minute of our holiday and we will definitely return to this magical place with joy. We felt rested and relaxed when we left. Thank you!"

Reef & Beach Resort - Spa Jambiani ★★★★

"Had 10 fabulous days here in March with my friend. The hotel is very well maintained and immaculately clean. Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. We opted for a sea view which I would really recommend. We found the food to be very good, fresh and lots of choice. What really makes this hotel stand out for me, however, is the staff. Every single member of the team we encountered was friendly, kind-natured and a real pleasure to talk to. They truly make you feel welcome. The whole resort has a very relaxed atmosphere and is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The hotel clearly takes great pride in both its staff and the guest experience."

Aquelia Rose Hotel ★★★

"Terrible choice! On the day we arrived, we only had one bath towel in the room. After our third request, at 5:30 PM, they brought a soaked pool towel and a wet bath towel!! We refused! At the end of the day, at 7 PM, they brought a bath towel that wasn't stretched or folded, but dry! The next day, before we had even had breakfast, they were already cleaning the room. At that time, they left two pool towels but didn't replace the bath towels. On the third day, they removed the bath towels and didn't replace them. They removed the shower gel and soap from the sink and didn't replace anything. They didn't offer a single bottle of drinking water! The tap in the sink barely dispenses water. The floor drain takes a long time to empty the showers. In short, terrible conditions! Everything is very old! The stairs leading to the beach are extremely dangerous, with very poorly made steps, ranging from inclines to different step heights, some quite high, without any handrails. They ask you to shower before entering the pool, but the shower for those coming from the beach doesn't work! The breakfast is awful! They don't serve what's on the menu; you order one thing and you get something else. For lunch, it takes them an hour to prepare a Greek salad and some grilled squid with fries!! On the beach right outside the hotel, Maasai wait for guests, their stalls for sales, immense noise from the people who set up under the dining area, selling things and catching fish. For a place that claims to be a place for relaxing, doing nothing, and resting, it's a very noisy hotel, with minimal soundproofing. Windows that don't seal properly, doors that creak and drag on the floor… Hard to forget!! Not recommended at all! In fact, it's recommended not to book this hotel, which doesn't even have a name that matches. They say it's called EquAlia Rose Hotel, but it's actually AquElia Rose Hotel!!"

Stonefish Inn Jambiani ★★

"We had a fantastic time to authentic Swahili environment 2 min away from the beach and 5 min walk from the local toko"

Starfish Garden Lodge

"A truly unforgettable experience in a dream location! I had a wonderful stay, welcomed by a staff that was always kind, smiling, and helpful, who made every moment special. The food was excellent: we sampled all the island's typical delicacies. Leaving was not easy, as I left this place with a sadness in my heart. It's been two weeks since my return, and I'm suffering from "Africa sickness." I truly hope to be able to return soon. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Starfisch for their professionalism and wonderful hospitality. I recommend anyone wishing to stay in Zanzibar to choose this property: in addition to having a unique experience, they also support educational projects for the Jambiani community. Fantastic, dream location,"

The Loop Beach Resort- Adults Only ★★

"After a 2-week safari on the mainland with family, the Loop Beach Resort was a delightful place for just my wife and me to relax and unwind. The resort provides a small, quiet, unpretentious place with excellent staff, comfy rooms, and delicious food. We were concerned at check-in because we arrived late and the lobby/lounge area was dark with music playing loudly which made the process difficult. But after getting to our room and sleeping very well we woke to a beautiful sunrise and a delicious breakfast. All of our concerns were gone. The staff were excellent. They got to know guests and were very attentive making sure we were comfortable. The pool was beautiful, overlooking the ocean, perfect for a quiet dip and maybe swim a few laps. It was great to step out onto the beach for a walk. We had massages that were a perfect treat to include. The resort is remote from most of the activities the island offers. They can arrange activities and transportation but it was always a somewhat long ride to get anywhere. That’s the trade off to staying at a quiet place. If you do schedule an activity with the concierge, be sure to ask about details so you take everything you’ll need for the day. It was easy to forget about planning details for a day trip."
