I didn't pay attention before ordering, the online reviews are super bad, and some of the reviews have been stolen. So go out with a backpack all the way, so as not to be stolen, a word is tiring.
In the actual experience, the receptionist checked in with a smile on his face. Apart from that, he didn’t have any service experience: the front desk was dull, and there was no one on duty at night except for a security guard. I got up at 4:00 in the morning to check out, and it took until 5:30 to wait until the sleepy front desk with hatred on my face to check out.
I booked a twin room, one with a mosquito net and one without a mosquito net.
This is the only time.
There are also advantages: quiet, windy coastline, suitable for paragliding surfing.

If you want the real african accomodation experience, visit them. They were courteous and warm. Great time there. Not as many surrounding attractions as up North. I got to interact with the massai men at the shore. Make sure to experience the sunrise and sunset at least once. Magnificent.

Super nice hotel directly on the beach We stayed in one of the bungalows with a double bed and an extra bed. This place has everything for a relaxed vacation and the staff is very nice and helpful. The restaurant is good with a wide selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner a la carte. Relax in a sun bed and order fruit juices or hang out on the pier at the bar. The garden and pool area is very beautiful and well kept. This area of Zanzibar is very calm and relaxed with a mix of locals, Masais and excursion bookers at the beach.

I have never left a review in my life, but this resort deserves one. I was initially only going to stay 3 days, but I ended up staying 6 because I didn't want to leave! Where to begin, the staff is just amazing, they are so sweet, caring and were able to accomodate all my requests. The room, view and the surrounding gardens were spectacular. I would have loved to stay longer!

Great location and access to water front. Outstanding for kitesurfing and kitesurfing lessons. Not far (25 minutes) from Josani forest and Dolphin watching port. Very relaxing location and good facility. Fresh fruit part of breakfast were awesome.

We had a terrible experience and I do not recomend this Hotel to no one. We were requested extra money for the room upon arrival even though we already payed everything, the manager had a very bad attitude when we tried to tell them it is not fair what they are asking, he yelled at us and was rude. As the money was already taken from our account we had no other alternative than to stay. We tried to solve this issue with booking but we had no succes so at the end we had to pay extra and above everything we noticed that they also stole money from our wallets that were in the safe deposit box in the room. 240€ to be precise. As euro and dollar are at the same parity there we didn t take much euro with us and knew exactly how much we had.

I just returned home from my vacation. The location is nice and quiet. You don’t have many activities in the area but it’s nice for those who want to relax. Despite this, I don’t recommend it at all. We encountered a very unpleasant situation when we got there. We were 2 couples and booked 2 rooms - for each room 2 persons. The amount of money was retrieved when we booked the rooms but when we got there, the resort asked us to pay extra charges for the 2nd person in the room even though we already payed it. We provided the necessary documents to support our argument and the manager yelled at us and mentioned that we need to pay or to leave. We wanted to leave but they mentioned that they won’t refund us the already payed amount. Under these circumstances, we were constrained to remain at the hotel and tried to solve this situation with booking. We payed twice the price for our staying. Besides this, everyone was trying to fool you at the resort: in the restaurant they “miscalculated” our dinner of course in their favour and at the reception I’ve tried to buy some sunscreen products and they’ve tried to fool me with over 15 $ even though the real price was on the products. I don’t recommend this location at all since we had a lot of unpleasant situations and all the people in the resort try to trick you as much as possible.

hotel is old but nicely kept. Staff truly made a difference. Didn't have any issue and felt safe and secure during my stay. The jetty bar is very nice for a relaxed sundowner drink and the housekeeper really tried to work around my late morning schedule. Good place if you are in Jambiani and most importantly, you'll feel part of the family

They are stealing from safe lokers. Take care of your money, the manager is for sure hand in hand with the rest of the employees. 900 dollars disappeared from our safety locker. They didn’t even encourage us to call the police because “you can’t demonstrate how much money you had”. Awful experience
