Michaela, Slovakia

We loved everything, the room ,the decoration, the restaurant with the awesome food in the banana garden, the beach bar, and of course the smiling and nice staff.

Jenny, United States of America

I really liked the cosy atmosphere, authentic boho chic, the friendly staff. We spent the day at the Beach bar, good playlist, delicious fish skewers and samosa; In he evening they proposed a Tuna Trio so fresh! The room was on the village side, as we love to wake up for the sunrise over the ocean we ran to the beach to enjoy it. Villagers are so friendly and we felt really in security in Jambiani.

Carla, Norway

-Clean room with big bed(best mattress) and perfect shower. -Both restaurants offer amazing food(BBQ at the beach bar or menu in the evening..the tuna tataki is a must). -Good music. -The staff is very nice always ready to help.Special thanks to the manager Thabit ;-) We had an amazing stay.

Oliver, Ireland

Zanzistar Lodge is a beautiful small boutique accommodation a short stroll to the beach in Jambiani. The rooms are simple but beautiful and very spacious, which was great for our family of 5. We even had 2 bathrooms! There is a small pool which was lovely to cool down in when it was low tide during which you're unable to swim. The restaurant/bar area is nice and we had all our breakfast there and two dinners. The food was very good! The Zanzistar beach bar is a short stroll away on the beach and is a spectacular spot to while away the afternoon in hammocks, low chairs or even swings if you wish. Their bbq lunch was delicious, in particular the bbq octopus with veggie skewers. If it is relaxing in a paradise environment you are after, then this is your place!

Beautiful property, nicely decorated and styled . The pool is a lovely shady spot and the rooftop is a great place for dinner. Staff were lovely.

Kirsty, Australia

Friendly staff. Beautiful apartment with view on the beach. Clean bedroom, much light in the apartment. Breakfast good.

Louise, Netherlands

Amazing property just few steps from the beach. We had such a great time! The staff is super friendly and the property itself it's just charming. The beach bar is just the best!

Stepanka, Netherlands

The setting was lovely, food superb and the staff were excellent. Very friendly laid back place. Amazing views, great drinks. A little hidden gem on the island. We brought our baby with us (almost 4 months old) and the staff were all very accommodating, adjusting meal times and making sure we were comfortable. While you do need to wait for your food, this is made very clear and you are given the choice to order in advance if this is issue for you. We personally enjoyed the opportunity to have a leisurely meal and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Try the chicken tikka and tomato and peanut curry - it is fabulous! The food is 100% worth the wait!
