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.

We had to wait till evening to be hungry because we got every morning big plate full of fruits and eggs with totally delicios bread which baked Haji’s wife. We got also water and in the room was a small fridge, it was very nice surprise. Haji is very special person, he took us also to Jozani forest and Spice farm by dala dala and he took care about us like we were his family. Thank you !!! If we could we would rate 11/10!

Mango Beach House is truly a hidden gem that exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, it felt like coming home—only better. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at peace, yet there's always something to discover or enjoy. Every corner of the property is beautifully designed, with an incredible eye for detail. Each room has its own unique character and charm, making the whole stay feel personal and thoughtful. But what truly sets this place apart is the team. They go above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience. Olivia serves every meal with a warm smile and is always there when you need her. Fadhil crafts delicious cocktails that quickly become your favorites. Ru introduced us to the rich flavors of Swahili cuisine—using incredibly fresh ingredients—and thanks to her, we fell in love with this food for the first time during our long trip. Marco oversees everything with care and calm, adding to the welcoming, homey atmosphere. Lucas and the gardener make sure the grounds/pool area are spotless and beautiful at all times. And then there’s Beth and Dullah, the amazing owners. They are simply wonderful—kind, helpful, full of great tips, and always ready to assist with anything from taxis to excursions. Their personal touch makes all the difference. If you're looking to experience Zanzibar at its very best, Mango Beach House is the place to be. We left with full hearts, relaxed minds, and memories we'll treasure forever. Highly recommended!
