The rooms feature traditional and bright décor. They have a private entrance and come fitted with a fan, mosquito net and a safe. All rooms have air conditioning and some offer a veranda with views.

At Kobe House a continental breakfast is served and the restaurant offers a buffet menu.

We booked a room for five at Kobe House after our flight home was cancelled. Since the hotel was not full, they let us have another room for free, so we can enjoy some time off from the kids. Everything in this hotel is spot on! From the flowers on your bed to the beautiful garden that feels like a tropical forest. The place is newly renovated, and everything is kept really clean and tidy. The staff was super friendly and really keen to help. We planned for one night, but stayed for the rest of our vacation in Zanzibar, until we could catch a new flight. Definitely the best value for money!

Nice new place in Jambiani. Very close to the beach - you're there in two minutes. Very quiet and tranquil, and Said - the host - is amazing. He is very attentive to detail and is one of the best hosts I've ever met. The room is very spacious and clean, and the bed has great mosquito nets. Breakfast is abundant, and DO TRY THE RESTAURANT! I cannot stress this enough. If I could, I would rate it more than 10.

No mozzie bites during our stay. a fantastic time and very happy ❤️

Natural Garden Hotel is a perfect place for an unforgettable vacation. Our hotel, which has been reopened after a thorough renovation in November 2022, invites you to discover beauty and tranquility in perfect harmony with nature.

Our private beach will become your paradise, where you can enjoy the white sand beneath your feet and the sound of the waves. Relax on a sunbed and indulge in the view of the azure ocean.

The hotel is very nice and quiet right in front of the sea (swimming depends on the tide but there is a pool). Staff was friendly, helpful and polite. Room was very clean and had everything needed. Food in the restaurant was really good, some of the best we had in Jambiani/Zanzibar. Jambiani village is within walking distance.

Our stay at the Cozy Lodge Guesthouse was a sublime blend of comfort, natural beauty, and exceptional hospitality. Tucked away in the enchanting haven of Jambiani, the guesthouse charmed us with its cozy ambiance and thoughtfully appointed rooms, providing a perfect retreat. The pristine beach just steps away was a breathtaking escape, offering a picturesque setting for relaxation. Beyond the scenic beauty, the icing on the cake was the local culinary expertise shared by Hiob, the owner of this Guesthouse. His recommendations led us to hidden gastronomic gems, showcasing the rich flavors of Zanzibar. Notably, the Cozy Lodge surprised us with reliable and speedy internet—a rare gem in such a serene location. We wholeheartedly recommend the Cozy Lodge Guesthouse.

    The food was amazing and the breakfast had lots of fresh fruit and juice every morning. The location was perfect, views of the beach everywhere. The pool was a nice bonus. They have very nice seats along the beach to rest and relax in, either in the shade or in the sun. I would highly recommend this place as a relaxing, quiet, and great costumer service spot.

    Amazing little hotel 1 minute to Jambiani beach. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great location next to superb local restaurants On the quieter side of the beach but only a 5-10 minute to cover everything you'd need. Excellent staff - Carlos is an amazing host! Laundry services super cheap. Breakfast was nice with different amazing fruits, pancakes and fresh juice. We enjoyed it every morning.

    great quiet boutique hotel with very nice staff and great location. The tide on the beach was no problems at all as we enjoyed a walk to the blue water in about 20min at low tide, and could swim easily when high. Prices were very good and the hotel offers great value for money, charm and a nice homey atmosphere that we loved. we had an incredible stay, were able to fully relax and recharge and were pleased by the full team - in particular Happy always doing her best to make our stay magical!

    Very nice and beautiful location. Quiet and luxury like resort. Compared to other hotels in this region you have a “garden” with swimmingpool in between your room and the beach which makes it even more private but still very well connected. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and well equipped. Pool is nice to have especially when the tide is low. We are happy to have stayed here and will come back when in Zanzibar next time.

    The location was spectacular! I loved our private luxury breakfast on the beach under the palm tree. They pampered us with fresh fruits and great omelette each morning. The host were super nice and helped us to organize things we were interested. If the weather is windy, it freshens up the room! The balcony is amazing place to enjoy reading, when you'll look up, it is all about the crystal clear water!
