Zanzistar Lodge
Jambiani Zanzibar, Jambiani, Tanzania – Great location - show map
Breakfast was great, changed slightly each and every day, fresh juice, coffee, pastries! Staff were unbelievably friendly and very accomodating. Room comfortable, dinner and lunch fantastic and the beach bar felt like a different location but the same hotel.

the wonderful welcome from Peter, the manager, the huge room with garden, the special attention to details, the food (breakfasts and dinners), the beach area, movie night, everything!!!

The rooms were very clean, food delicious and the beach bar served delicious food.

- friendly and helpful hosts , great welcome and directions - nice facilities, good and well thought decor - really good food

A small place with intimate unique feel and great restaurant - best seafood / any food we had in 3 weeks in Zanzibar. Worth every penny eaten in a small banana garden. Friendly attentive staff that understand customer service. We booked last minute and have no regrets. Not on a beach per say, but their Bar is and you can walk over in 2 min and enjoy their great food and nice beach lounge. Vert enjoyable relaxed no shoes stay!

Good, modern rooms a bit further away from the beach. The staff is hospitable and quick to take action.

We loved the hotel vibe. It was wonderful to have a pool! The breakfast was very good and satisfying. I liked that they offered a four person family suite.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere, service and the whole team at Zanzistar. Peter the manager is amazing, super friendly and extremely helpful from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The relaxing and cool decor, the rooms are very comfortable and the food is excellent. We also loved Zanzistar beach bar vibe.

The staff is extremely friendly. The place feels very homey and is truly luxury without a fuss. I will go back

Small scale of the place, nice african authentic but colourful ambiance. Done simply but with very good taste.
