As vegans, we were very happy with our experience. This was our second favorite place for vegan options. We would definitely return and stay longer. As a suggestion, it would be even better if vegan dishes were labeled by default for both breakfast and dinner. The local cuisine naturally offers many vegan dishes. Which we might have not experienced, if not especially asked, as it was not stated on the menu.

We stayed at four different hotels in Zanzibar at the same or higher price point, and Savera Beach Houses was our overall favorite. Unfortunately, this was the first place we stayed, and none of the subsequent hotels could meet the same expectations. 1) Location The location was perfect. We loved the beach, which was better than the crowded Paje and cleaner than Bwejuu. We had a car, so we could easily with a 10 min ride drive and explore Paje and surrounding areas. People who recommend the hotels in the north (Nungwi / Kendwa), clearly did not visit the Savera Beach Houses. 2) Service The level of care we received was exceptional. It wasn't superficial or aimed at getting a bigger tip; they genuinely valued us as guests. Imagine a place where you feel alone yet always have someone available at your fingertips. In most other places on the island, the staff felt overwhelming—either too many waiters around or lacking professionalism. The team at Savera Beach Houses struck the perfect balance. 3) Houses The houses were designed perfectly. They offered privacy and safety while being open to the surrounding nature. 4) Food As vegans, we found it challenging to find suitable options on the island. However, the kitchen provided us with a personalized, vegan-friendly breakfast. They even created local dishes that are naturally vegan, which was a highlight for us. We appreciated their effort and the quality of the food they served. Huge kudos to the management and owner. Though they were 'invisible' behind the scenes, their effort and passion were palpable, making guests' holidays truly unforgettable. True leading by example.

nothing, it's all just perfect

This place truly is amazing, located directly at the beautiful beach with powder white sand and coconut palms. The Bungalows are nicely decorated, very comfortable with your own terrace where breakfast is served. There is also a nice pool with great view, where you can refresh in case of low tide. In addition the restaurant serves exceptional good food and drinks and each day there is a changing menu. What makes this place even better is the amazing staff. Everyone is so welcoming, nice and helpful. We enjoyed every second at Savera Beach Houses and would definitely come again. Asante sana.

The tours were not particularly well organized - we could probably have gotten a similar or better experience at a cheaper price elsewhere.

The location right on the beach is spectacular and the sea view bungalows offer a unique experience! Staff is incredibly nice and the restaurant is the best in Jambiani without a doubt.

Savera beach house was amazing. Staff were so friendly especially Stella and Anna. Our bungalow on the beach was stunning, with all the little touches having been thought of. Restaurant food was great and super reasonable. Would definitely recommend and love to return!

I ordered sometimes dinner or snacks from the hotel restaurant and it was very tasty and satisfying. Everything is made from the scratch in the kitchen. The breakfast was very delicious. And the staff was all top people. I got very good service. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and honestly this experience was my best. To wake up on the beach with amazing views and great staff in an excellent location. Everything was perfect. Thank you all so much.

Nothing honestly we loved everything

A beautiful asthetic hotel, the rooms are bungalows very spacious and nicely done. The view is just spectacular either from the rooms or the pool and the other facilities of the hotel. The rooms is cleaned everyday and the towels are changed. The personal are so nice and friendly, they made us feel home ❤️ The breakfast was good and delicious. The hotel propose various activities each day, we chose to go on snorkelling for 2 hrs on a traditional dhow for 15$ per person and we had a great time I highly recommend it. And not to forget to mention the direct acces to jambiani Beach which it so clear and clean. Thank you Savera beach houses for making our stay in zanzibar so special ❤️🙏

Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff. Very peacful and relaxing.

We were in Asante room . There was a little hut for massages next to us. Does get noisy and distracting when trying to relax.

The staff were a definite highlight for me. Always smiles and always willing to assist. The place is just as seen on pictures.. rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was good different options every day. The food at the restaurant was great. Pool and beach area was great.. its such a vibe, hope to return oneday.

Amazing situation on Jambiani's beach, one of the only hotels with direct access to the beach. The breakfast was great with different variations every day. It was our favorite hotel from our two week stay in Zanzibar.

Nothing. Perhaps more on its role in community and social empowerment of locals. Hammock or comfy chair on terrace would be nice extra.

Beautiful location on the beach. Comfortable bungalows. Amazing staff.

That we had to leave this beautiful place on earth

It was a dream!!! Savio, Anna and the rest of the team are very good hosts and never left a wish open. We stayed in one of the front beach bungalows called "Jambo". It is furnished with so much love for the details, the bathroom is modern and very clean, the beds are comfy, the fridge all the time filled with drinks. If you open the door, you stare directly on the beatiful beach and sea. Breakfast was perfectly served every morning on the bungalow terrace and also dinner was very delicious. Internet was available everywhere on the property. Cocktails were served over the entire day and were also very good. Pool is new and nice for a refreshment when the sea is gone during low tide. It was the perfect stay for my brother and me and I will definitely come back to Savios paradise. Well done Savio and Team...I really miss Savera Beach Houses already. So if you are looking for a place finding peace and freedom with very good service and kind staff around you - thats the place to be. I travelled a lot in my life, but this is by far the best accomodation and best host ever

The pillows are directly lent against press light switches so something these get knocked when sleeping and turn the lights on. The portions of the peanut butter / jam / butter etc at breakfast was put in cute small bowls but maybe too small. Despite these two minor points, we still feel it was a 10/10 place to stay.

The staff are all really welcoming and friendly, especially Anna (manager) and Razaman (bar staff). Razaman taught us how to play Boa, an African board game which was great fun! The bungalows are separated from one another, there are only 6 separate bungalows and 4 two story ones behind so it is a nice small and quiet place to be. The bungalow has a private balcony where you have your breakfast and can have lunch and dinner there too if you wish. The bungalows are comfortable, clean and spacious enough. There is a modern, effective fan in the room which is sufficient (we prefer fans over a/c anyways). The shower was powerful. There is a bowl of water to dip your feet in before eating the bungalow to prevent sand getting everywhere. You are provided with beach towels as well as shower and hand towels. The cleaners come into the room 2x a day and make cute bed decorations and spray the room with a lovely scent! All the cleaners are friendly and do such a great job. The bungalow looks out onto the hotels patch of beach where there are loungers, plants, coconut trees and the beach bar for drinks and food. Just in front of that is the public part of the beach. It was great how the front of the hotel was kept quite natural with the coconut trees, plants and sand as unfortunately some of the hotels were built on massive concrete foundations…. There are also loungers by the pool. The pool is kept clean and has a platform you can lounge on and a small (but enough) space to swim in. The beach is kept clean (Jambiani village have a Saturday beach clean up that you can volunteer with), and the sea is lovely and warm. The food is good here, there are plenty of other hotels and beach huts in Jambinai and the next village up, Paje, so there is easy access to plenty of variety. Severa change their menu daily too. On Saturdays they host entertainment and a set menu, very romantic and cute set up by the pool.

Everything was great, but they can add more food options to the breakfast., some pastries, etc The booking.com has to reflect exact difference between the bungalow on the ground floor and the second floor room, which can not be seen at all on the website..

Everything! Very clean, fancy and lovely place made with the local culture way! Absolutely fantastic location, when you constantly see the postcard :)..
