Traveller reviews
Tal “Lovely laid back beach hotel :)”
01 Sep 2025
Great location in Jambiani - the main hotel is a 1 min walk to the beach and for the daytimes the Beach Bar area has loads of space, sun loungers etc. Our room had its own front door leading directly onto the street (via a small private garden) which was nice, as we felt a little more connected to the village than staying in a m resort style place. The room was nice and comfortable and all the staff were super hospitable and kind. Daily breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit, juice and choice of eggs. The atmosphere is very laid back - sometimes more like a nice hostel than a hotel, which suited us well.
marta “Perfect Stay”
06 Aug 2025
From start to finish, we were warmly welcomed and well treated. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The room is beautiful, rustic, always clean, nicely decorated, and equipped with all the amenities for a perfect stay. The breakfast is very good and complete, with high quality. The hotel has a bar just in front of the beach (a 3-minute walk) where we could leave our belongings and enjoy a wonderful afternoon. The food is great and the drinks are also very good. For dinner, we ate at the hotel and it was excellent — very fresh fish, all perfectly cooked. On the first night, we had the chance to enjoy a movie night, and we loved the concept. The hotel offers several excursions, and we did two of them: snorkeling on a traditional boat near Jambiani, which we absolutely loved — we even got to sail a bit on this beautiful boat! We also did a boat trip to a sandbank from Kizimkazi, where we enjoyed an amazing barbecue prepared by locals. Both excursions were spectacular, and we definitely recommend doing them. In summary, we loved the experience, the tranquility, and the beauty of Jambiani. Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend staying at Zanzistar.

What really sets this place apart is the incredibly kind and attentive staff — everyone we met was warm, helpful, and genuinely caring. The manager was especially thoughtful and engaged, making sure everything ran smoothly and that guests felt truly looked after. The hotel also has a fantastic beachside bar and restaurant just a short stroll away — perfect for enjoying a meal or drink with a view of the ocean and your feet in the sand. The food was absolutely delicious — the tuna tartare, in particular, was unforgettable!
Morten “Our personal favorite of all the places we stayed in Zanzibar. Excellent value for money.”
23 Jul 2025
A hidden gem in Jambiani Beach. For us, the decision on where to spend our 4 days in Jambiani was between three different hotels. I am so glad we decided to stay at Zanzistar Lodge. This was also by far the cheapest out of the three options. The value for money can´t be beaten. We especially enjoyed the outside hammocks, the beach, the breakfast, the staff, the drinks and the cozy banana garden. Peter, one of the two managers, personally showed us every room. The luggage was taken care of by the staff and we even were invited to a welcome drink as we arrived. The beach bar has excellent food, great drinks and a perfect beach vibe. The beach was our favorite of all the beaches on the island. We went to Matemwe, Nungwi, Kendwa and Kizimkazi, but Jambiani was by far our favorite. The numerous colors of green and blue in the ocean is just spectacular. Thank you to all the staff that went out of their way to make us feel at home and took care of all of our needs. Take good care of them, as it is the people that make places like Zanzistar Lodge worth every penny. For us, we personally enjoy the small boutique hotels over the big resorts. The hospitality here was nothing else than outstanding. We hope to be back sometime in the near future.
