Very friendly and helpful staff, made us feel like home immediately. Peaceful surroundings and beautiful beach. Amazing tour to Mtenge beach. Thank you Issa with staff for the best of holidays.

Delicious breakfast served on the private terrace on 1st floor. Varied, tasty and definitely enough. We booked a room on the ground floor, but owner Issa gave us a free upgrade to a room with terrace & VIEW on the first floor. Very big room with fan, big bed with mosquito net. Large, airy terrace with superb views of the turquoise sea. On top of that, there is a kitchen with fridge on the ground floor free for use. Location 10 thanks to the views (and the nearby Italian beach bar/restaurant - oddly called Peter Pan). Issa arranged cheap taxi rides for us from and to Stone Town, with a stopover at Jozani Park. Perfect! We would definitely stay here again.

The location and view of the ocean from our balcony plus also being able to watch and listen to village life. The room was very spacious, clean and good value. Staff were very friendly and service was great. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful with fresh juice, fruits, bread, eggs and coffee. There are a few good restaurants very close by as well such as Peter pan and Yellow Card and a couple of convenience stores for water and snacks.

Everything,the room ,the location Issa and his staff

Amazing stay, few steps from the beach and middle of local life. We come back, for sure!

nice and quiet place, room and bathroom facilities ok, super friendly service, sufficient breakfast

We had a great time at Amka house. The location was walking distance to the Jambiani beach. We stayed four nights but wished we could stay longer. The breakfast was good with choice of omelet and seasonal fruits. The room was nice on the 2nd floor with sea view. There was large balcony to relax after swimming etc.

The accomodation was just perfect!! The view, breakfast, room, host. We would definitely stay here longer if we would have more time. Thanks a lot!!! Totally reccomended

Localisation, staff, view, breakfast and big bedroom, terrace! Kitchen that you can use.

A great stay at Amka House. What a pleasure to have discovered this world, so different from ours. We are, at Issa, in authenticity. Everything was perfect. Issa was constantly listening to us and his entire team. A big thank you to him, to Amina and Wahda for a spotless room every day and the fabulous massages, to Marina for her exceptional breakfasts and to John, the handyman. You can go there with your eyes closed. See you soon, I hope
