The bathroom finishes could be better, the toilet seat, shower head and basin mixer. The mattress could also be upgraded. None of these things detracted from a wonderful stay, just a constructive criticism for an otherwise perfect spot.

Excellent breakfast daily! Eggs, crumpets, fresh juice, tons of fresh fruit.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location by the beach. We loved our room and all the different outdoor areas to relax. Food in the hotel restaurant was really nice - recommend the cocktails. Staff were amazing - we had a perfect stay and would love to come back.

Nothing, just to be aware about the tide time to enjoy at best the stay

The staff is really great, we felt as at home. The location is still authentic and in a peaceful part of the coast, not surrounded by big hotels or noisy beach activities. Paje village is at 30min walking on the beach. The rooms are simple but nice and very functional.

The lighting could be improved both in the rooms and in the restaurant. The light should be warm, because then it is more pleasant to be in the room. You could also install beach beds with adjustable backrests to make reading the newspaper more comfortable.

The hotel is exceptional in every respect. Perfect for people traveling alone or as a couple if they are looking for peace and quiet. Breakfasts are delicious, but other meals in the hotel's kitchen are also delicious. My warmest regards to the entire hotel staff! I always feel at home with you.

Great place to stay at, perfectly situated at the beach between Paje and Jambiani so you can walk either way and it's a bit quiter then the places in the towns. Nice walk on the beach (max 30 minutes) to either town. Great pool. Absolutely wonderful staff! Always smiling and happy and very helpful. Good and abundant breakfast. Definitely recommend staying here.

Nothing

Amazing chilled location with fantastic view and very friendly and helpful staff and owners!

The pool was kept clean and tidy daily. The Breakfast was good but needed more of a variety and the beach was also great.

Stayed in June 2024

As per above, the location is 30 mins walk to Paje so you are dependant on private transport for anything (and the hotel rates are quite high to be honest for 5 mins ride). Also, the restaurant is ok, but not too special

The location is excellent for someone looking for relax and some quiet. It is literally by the sea and has got amazing sunbeds on the sand which make you feel you are in paradise! Excellent value for money!

The room wasn’t perfectly cleaned but nothing critically bad.

The staff was super friendly, available and always looking out for solutions for us.

Jaribu Beach Hotel was my last stop before I returned home. It was the perfect place to relax and decompress a few days after six weeks of traveling! I loved my room and the view. The grounds were beautiful with colorful blooming plants. The swimming pool was inviting and enjoyable. I enjoyed the beachfront on the Indian Ocean and the sound of the waves and cooling breeze. The restaurant was great for hanging out with a drink and a good book, and the food was very good. Rachel and all of the staff were professional and friendly. I enjoyed chatting with them all. If I visit Zanzibar again, I will definitely stay at Jaribu Beach Hotel.

Jaribu is a very relaxing, peaceful beach hotel--not luxurious, but charming. The grounds are spacious, open, green, harmonious, and truly beautiful; they are well cared for but with a natural feel. The buildings are of natural, traditional materials, basic but comfortable. We had a good bed in our deluxe cottage. The restaurant, too, is open, harmonious and relaxing--a very nice place for a meal or a drink. The pool is wonderful., All of the staff--the ones at the restaurant/bar, the cleaning staff, the cooks, the massage therapist, the maintenance men, and the security guards--were kind, thoughtful, helpful, eager, friendly, accommodating, and unhurried. My wife had a minor injury while were there and the staff really went out of their way for her. And Rachel, the owner/manager, went far beyond what one would expect; she was especially helpful in many ways, and was always concerned with our needs, friendly, and pleasant. I needed internet access for my work, and we happened to be there at a time when there was some work on the electric grid in the area, so there were some disruptions; the hotel has a generator for such eventualities, but beyond that, Rachel pulled out all the stops to make sure I could get online. Paje and Jambiani short taxi rides away, and both have good restaurants and interesting shops. The hotel is well connected with good, dependable taxi drivers.

The property is about a 40 minute walk from town or a $5 cab ride. Honestly it was fine for us as we enjoyed the walk and the property is happy to order a taxi for you if you need. But for some people, the property was a little too quiet for them.

The staff were amazing, the level of service was exceptional. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you.

Everything about Jaribu was brilliant! The rooms were clean, the ocean view was everything I asked for! The staff was super friendly and kind. They catered to every small need I had. I'm so happy and grateful for this experience with Jaribu. The food was genuinely so tasty. I miss it

Our stay was too short. The staff are exceptionally helpful and the rooms are super clean. The AC is cold and works very well and we wish we stayed longer.

Stayed in January 2024

There is no shade at the pool area and too much humidity in the bathroom.

The restaurant part is so cute and the food is very good. But the real plus of the place is the staff. It is rare to meet so genuine and helpful staff, friendly and overall wonderful.

It is not directly in Paje, but it’s a nice walk at the beach to get there (30 minutes)

Very nice accommodation directly at the beach with very friendly staff

I could not write anything...

We really enjoyed our stay there. Everybody was really nice and friendly. The food was great, the prices of the restaurant were favourable. The ocean here is not so good for swimming, but the fantastic swimming pool solves this problem. Thank you again for the whole Jaribu Team for our great time!😘

If you like to walk to Paje, it’s 30-40 minutes and there is a huge reef where you can not cross barefoot, and you also can’t walk during high tide. Taxi is 4-5 USD. So if you want to reach the lively center of Paje, consider staying here, or be prepared for the walk/paying taxi ;)

We had a wonderful stay in Jaribu Beach Hotel, the staff was exceptional, the food was great, the room and the area is cosy.

one bed was arranged like this, the AC blew directly into the bed.

It was very basic. In private bangalo were two beds, small tables and AC.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jaribu! Our room was clean and had a beautiful little balcony, the swimming pool was a great way of cooling off and we enjoyed the different areas to relax. Compared to other places in Paje, this one really stood out. The staff made our stay, they always had a smile on their face and made us feel welcome. Asante sana again :)

Leaving some breakfast on the plate, because was too much. Maybe could have salty, sweet or simple option.

Our Bungalow was perfect. You get what you see in the pictures. Peaceful location. From the restaurant have to mention currys. Best we found during two weeks in Zanzibar. Helpful & honest staff.

Stayed in January 2024

We really done have much to critique- I will say the rooms are quite simple- but I think that reflects on the wonderful prices. But yes if you want more luxury bathrooms etc the. You would pay more for something else. This was all we needed

The staff at this hotel were truely exceptional- they always made us feel so welcomed and were always up for a chat and happy to help with whatever we needed. The location is amazing. Away from Paje hustle and bustle but close enough to get to wherever you need (long walk or short tuk tuk) our room had a view of the pool, the beach and the beautiful Paje sunrises!

Can't think of anything that could have been better. This was great value for money and the staff were super helpful and friendly

It was beautiful and peaceful. This resort is away from the crowds but just as beautiful with the necessary amenities.
