Place is wonderfull, hotel is not big - it has about 12 rooms, which was probably the best part for me, there aren't any annoying beach boys on the beach (unlike other tourist spots in Zanzibar) or close to hotel. Place is quiet and you can just enjoy amazing viewes of the blue sea on the pier or even inside the pool on the pier. Paddle boat and kayaks were available for free, and the snorkeling around reef (about 500m from the hotel) was amazing, a lot of corals, anemones, sea stars, urchins and fishes. Food was also great, but not all meals were available every day (especially fishes and sea food - I guess it depends on the catch of the day). Staff was the uniqie thing for me, which made the stay even more memorable - Diana and her collegue (sadly I can't remember his name), who even offered us to show us local village of Makunduchi. I really appreciate their services. We originally booked standard room and we were upgraded for 2 nights to room with private pool, so we had a chance to compare both variants - I really liked the room itself at pool-variant, because it was much bigger and bit more modern with alexa music, pool itself was a nice addition, well lit during night-time, but in the same time it attracted a lot of insect, bugs and other tiny creatures, they gatherted there every evening, there are other 2 pools in public area of hotel, so I wouldn't fully agree with other reviews that private pool is a must-do and is way better, but definately it is not worse. Both types of rooms were nice though.

It is a very quiet place to stay in. Excellent location, by the Jambiani beach.
Staff pay attention to every little detail. The manager and his team take good care of you.

The view of the ocean from the room was great. It truly is a place you can go to get away and unwind.We liked the manager, Francisco's immediate response to rectify our concerns after the power outage due to a generator issue. He immediately was able to rectify the issue and comped our first night dinner and gave us a room upgrade for the trouble. The restaurant where very friendly and pleased.

If you like large good value for money hotels and you are looking for all inclusive then this is for you. I opted for this hotel for the safari option and for that reason it was well worth it. Book local hire taxis and next time I would stay at a smaller hotel not catering for the masses, but that’s my fault for not researching it more. Just not sure a hotel that size works in that location.

Although it is far from the airport, being on the south side of the Island, this hotel is located very conveniently. There is a turtle cave, a swimming cave and dolphin viewing within 15 minutes drive from the hotel. I did not need to find restaurants as the hotel provided all meals.

a nice little place with shops, cafes and restaurants run by locals
can be reached on foot via the long, white beach
Water level depends on the tide. At low tide there are lovely walks in the soft sand

The beach has a lot of algae. The sea is extremely hot.
The beach has a lot of algae. The sea is extremely hot. The southern tip of the island where the sea is deeper is much nicer. The restaurants are so so. Fish is never fresh! Locals can be annoying. Too much contact.

Jambiani is a great place to visit when you aren't looking...
Jambiani is a great place to visit when you aren't looking for an extremely busy beach with lots of noise. That being said, there were still "beach parties" with noise until about midnight. Be aware of the high and low tides, and plan your activities accordingly. Several great restaurants and bars on the small walkable beach. Always felt safe as a solo female traveler.
- great team, helpful and so kind
- hotel is nearly new, everything works fine (hot water, lot of pressure in the tub, ...)
- everything is so clean !
- just near the beach, with differents terrasses !
- kitchen is awesome, dishes were in the best we could eat in Zanzibar
- Pizza and pasta are handmade, and really good (pizza are cooked in a real pizza oven)
- There is a real coffee machine and you cas ask for espresso, machiatto, ...
- swimming pool is great
- beds are quite hard but comfortables
- moskito nets for the big beds
The staff is very friendly just like all tanzanians. The hotel is great and it has a great seafront. The decorations and the mangrove where the monkeys live with the wooden bridges and the great food at the restaurant, themed buffets, dance parties and shows, from locals to Masai etc...
The jetty was my favorite place. The frequent low and high tides made it an even more beautiful spot to chill at.
You wanna go all inclusive to this hotel.
Not everything is included though, like daily specials.
EVERYTHING! The staff, the individual cabins, the food, the pools, the beach, the cleainess, and the list goes on and on. What a wonderful place to end a 3 1/2 week vacation to Tanzania. The games room was an added touch, as well. The decor was amazing, too!
Seeing as it is a smaller facility, which is what we enjoy, the staff remembered your names. It was like your home away from home!
You will not be disappointed with choosing this hotel.
Host is a pleasant person. He was very helpful with logistics and advice
Beach is excellent and nearby easily one of the best in zanzibar
The pool was clean and very refreshing in the heat
The house is as presented on booking.com and is well maintained, the electric fencing around the property is also a welcome ring of reassurance even though at no one time did we feel insecure even when walking around Jambiani late at night.
This was a small, quiet, boutique beachfront hotel, nicely furnished (also we loved the smell of the coconut and lime shampoo, bath soap and conditioner that were available in the beautiful bathroom) with very helpfull and kind staff. I must also say big thanks to the owner Mr. Francis (hope I spelled it right) who was especially kind and welcoming. The restaurant in the hotel has really amazing food.
This hotel is right on the beach. You can get up every morning, and swim before breakfast! The rooms are clean and the decor is awesome. The bed was comfortable, and we had fresh sheets & towels everyday. Breakfast is fresh fruit, eggs, toast, pancakes… so much food! The staff here are amazing too. They are extremely kind and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back!
Very nice hotel in Jambiani. The staff is very friendly and very kind. They are always smiling, helpful and respectful. For the new year eve, a barbecue on the beach was organized which was very nice. The room was big with a beautiful on the sea. The bar on the beach is also very appreciated for a snack or drink. We enjoyed our stay in this hotel.
This was exactly the isolated, relaxed sort of place that I was looking for. Situated on a quiet beach in the south of Zanzibar, facing the Indian Ocean with a wonderful warm breeze. The staff was friendly and I had a nice night watching the AFCON matches in the social/eating area. They upgraded me to one of the beach facing bungalows as well.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Spot, a small family owned hotel, right at the beautiful Jambiani beach. The people are super friendly and always helpful. The breakfast they serve was one of the best we had in our so far 6-month travel! If anyone is looking for a clean beachfront place in Zanzibar, I can 100% recommend the Spot :)
There are multiple pili hotels in jambiani and you get access to all with the bracelet. The staff was very kind. If there was an issue the staff would send someone quite quickly to repair it. The AC worked well. For the price this hotel has a lot to offer. Room was spacious, direct access to the beach via steps from the restaurant.
We liked the beach-setting of our room with georgeus view on the ocean. Breathtaking. Staff was extremely friendly, interior authentic style, restaurant had a very good food, kite school was nerby and the local vibe on the beach priceless. In case we ever return to Zanzibar, this will be defenetely be our stay of choice again.
friendliest and most helpful staff and we have met in Zanzibar! Very nice owner, amazing food, thanks to the chef! Beautiful outdoor area, right on the beach, mosquito nets on every window, very clean, felt very safe, small hotel so there are not many people, perfect for relaxing, wifi is very good
Equalia Boutique Hotel is conveniently located in Jambiani right on the beach and we absolutely loved the outdoors area in front of the hotel with a great view to the sea. The breakfast choice was also great and the best we encountered in Zanzibar. The staff is very lovely and made us feel welcome.
Very nice hotel next to the beach with very friendly staff. Good breakfast as well :) the area is lovely and it has a lot of restaurants arround!
We had to do a prepayment online and at first I thought it was strange, but that’s most of the hotels in zanzibar so no worries!
I recomend it 100%.
Very good place to stay on Zanzibar. We did stay in 4 hotels during our trip and this one was the best. Super friendly staff, everything clean, good food and drinks, perfect breakfest included in room rate, not busy beach, very nice pool. Really nice experience for us.
Absolutely loved our stay at passion boutique hotel! Amazing property with the friendliest of staff right by jambiani beach 😍
The all day breakfast was a personal highlight for one who loves to sleep in whilst on vacation! I'd definitely come again ❤️
Quaint, quiet and clean boutique hotel. Friendly family on-site owners. Good food and overall good value. Great communication and help with excursions. Beautiful pool, beach view and friendly local families as well as staff.
Great location right on the beach, halfway between Page and Jambiani. Nice pool and the food is delicious! The staff is super, well informed and helpful!
