The host was great and very helpful. He booked us great trips, offered support and great lunch. Location of the house is beautiful looking into the ocean through coconut palms. Staff was very welcoming.

“Perfect Location”
02 Jan 2025
Amka House is a perfect place for independent travelers like us. The rooms are really nice and the wonderful breakfast, brought to our terrace in the mornings, included coffee/tea, fresh juice, fruits, eggs, bread and crêpes. Amka House is not first row, but so close to the beach that you can just go barefoot in your swimming suit. Some rooms have sea view. The beach just in front is suitable at high and low tide (you just go further to the sand bank). There are no sun beds, but in the afternoon you can sit in the sand in the shadow from the palm trees and watch the local kids swimming and playing football. There are bars just in front, too. The village: This part of Jambiani just behind the Amka House is a local Tanzanian village with some infrastructure like little souvenir shops and local restaurants with meals for decent prices starting at 10.000 TZS (if you don't want to pay the beach front). People are very friendly, and there are also plenty of little "supermarkets" to buy water, fruits, etc. You can walk 5min to the main road and take a Daladala (the common shared mini buses) and go for 500 TZS to Paje (or take a local Tuktuk for 5-7000 TZS) or 3000 TZS to Stone Town (Stone Town can take 2 hours though and you need to change Daladala). We also made our way from the airport to Amka House with the Daladala. If you are more into organized transport, the owner of Amka House Isaa is happy to arrange everything for you! He is very friendly and speaks good English and can also organize excursions for you to visit the island. Overall: Being locked in a "resort" would be a nightmare for us, so we found exactly what we were looking for at Amka House - the mix of comfort and local life at a wonderful beach.

“Beautiful Amka”
10 Dec 2024
The best place we stayed in in Zanzibar. We stayed in Kendwa in two different hotels and Stonetown at luxury hotel, and AMKA is very good and as good as the other hotels we stayed at. They owner and his wife ate very kind and always ready to help. We slept very well at night. We had two rooms with terrace looking out on a beautiful view of the sea. The bathrooms are very big and modern. The big rooms are very nice with big beds and good mattress and pillows. All very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful week here and will come back soon. Thank you for a very good vacation.

27 Sep 2024
I loved the location on the beach and the sea view. Also, the hosts were really amazing and at disposal for everything I needed, especially Leila! Don't miss out to go to Mtende beach with her! The breakfasts in the morning were also very nice, although the staff who does the service can tend to be a bit slow sometimes. I spent almost 2 weeks here! I would definitely come back here, I had everything I needed for a perfect holiday!
