Lodges in Jambiani

HASHIM Canada

Great and a comfy stay! Will definitely be coming back! Location: the location is quite convenient. It’s right next to the main road going to Paje and 5-10 minutes walk away to the ocean. The building is in Jambiani village which is famous for its sweet, hospitable locals, and great beaches! Supermarkets and shops are all nearby. Check in: Thomas the owner who oversees things personally, was kind enough to arrange for an early check in despite the short notice. He’s easygoing and friendly to deal with. Easy and straightforward process. They accept cards without giving you the looks (many properties in Jambiani don’t happily accept cards). You can use Apple Pay or Samsung Pay. The place itself: this is a brand new building with great finishing. The owner takes pride in his trees and the villa is surrounded by greenery inside it. There’s a pool, kitchen with a big new fridge for guests to store food, shower facilities next to the pool. There’s also a terrace upstairs with huge area for people who wanna have some privacy or do calls or just relax. It offers a nice 360 view of the village on all sides. The rooms: the rooms are quite modern and they are practically designed and equipped with everything you want. The ac was working perfectly and it was a relief in hot afternoons and nights (many properties don’t have ac or it doesn’t work). Really comfy beds (probably the best bed and mattresses I slept on in Zanzibar), a safe which is quite handy, a little desk if you have work, big washroom with great water pressure, everything in the room was brand new and working fine. The internet: I had couple of meetings and was suffering from the poor internet in other proper I. The wifi really saved me. The experience: the owner who was also staying at the property is warm and makes sure to check in on you and see if you need anything (the stay itself, directions, restaurant recommendations, etc.

From the minute I walked into this place, it felt like family. While very comfortable, the property is not 5 star, however the staff are 5 star plus some. I've travelled a bit and have never had service like this place anywhere else in the world. The room was a good size and clean, the food prepared by the chefs was amazing, the outdoor areas were comfortable, the tours were arranged by Haji and Abu for a good price and anytime I needed to go somewhere, I just had to ask. Abu was fabulous company on the long drives. I would not hesitate to recommend Mkeka Lodge to anyone who is looking for accommodation in Zanzibar. Thanks guys for a memorable holiday..! 💗💗

The lodge is beautifully located at the southern end of Jambiani beach. The water is turquoise and the whole scenery breathtaking. Especially at low tide, you enjoy a huge area with shallow water and lagoons - ideal also for kiting (if you have your own equipment). Otherwise, you will find some schools and equipment to rent further down the beach. The lodge is run by Kerstin and her Zanzibarian husband. Kerstin is very warm hearted and takes extremely good care to make your stay as pleasant as possible. And also the staff is very attentive and nice. We really enjoyed our stay at Red Monkey!

Blue Earth Bungalow was a hidden gem if you like an inexpensive, rustic environment, no crowds or tourists, then this is the place for you. The workers got you anything that you needed and we're very helpful at all times. This place while a little hard to find but it was right on the beach. Lots of good local restaurants with good traditional food.

We chose this accommodation because of the price, the cuisine and the party that takes place here. All our expectations were met. The breakfast was good, the party was perfect and the environment with the pool is very nice

The coziest and cutest little villa in a perfect location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach with everything you need on the Main Street. The friendliest dog lives on the property, together with the cutest little cat. We’ve been hanging out for 3 weeks straight with these furry friends. The staff was wonderful, nice, and always helpful. The rooms were clean. Breakfast was superb, with fresh fruit every day, coffee, your choice of eggs, and pancakes. We left Nakupenda Villa with a heavy heart; it felt like home to us, and we can’t wait to come back asap!
