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!

Special shout out to Simon and Ellie for making our stay that much better. We got upgraded to the Lagoon room and it was a magical view right on the beach. I had the best fruit juice in my life there as well. Would 100% recommend

A really efficiently run yet relaxing and welcoming lodge in a great location. Nothing was too much trouble and the rooms were very comfortable. Best breakfast so far (and even catered for a gluten free diet).

Wonderful small, intimate boutique hotel. The Lagoon room right on the beach was amazing! Staff were amazingly friendly. Wonderful bar to hang out in, with incredible food (including vegetarian options - recommend the veggie skewers!). Great location, right on a beautiful beach and with a few restaurants and bars in walking distance.
