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 was a small lovely hotel on the beach. The beautyful garden and the pool was very well kept. All service was outstanding. All staff was incredibly friendly and everyting we asked for was taken care of at once. The food was good and the chefs were flexible regarding my food intolerance. Bed was comfortable and AC effective. Lovely to sit on the balcony of the cottage in the afternoon and at sunset.

Mbuyuni Beach Village is beautifully situated in the green. The complex is an oasis to relax and the accommodation is very well maintained and the pool invites you to relax.
The breakfast consists of fresh fruit, toast, egg of your choice and a delicious fresh fruit juice.
It is located between Paje and Jambiani, so especially in the evening when it is dark you are dependent on a means of transport, which can be organized by the hotel.
The bungalows are very large and spacious.
We had a very nice and relaxing stay. We would come back anytime.

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.
Cinnamon hotel is wonderful place. Great atmosphere and personel. You can choose different option from breakfast sets every morning. Additionally you have also delicious option for dinner (fantastic thai soup :) ) and really good drinks. Personel is very helpful, they arranged for us taxi for shoping, transfer to airport. The private beach near swimming pool is very nice and with free sunlongers for the guests. Rooms are cleaned every day. We were group of 6 people and really recommend this place on Zanzibar.
Beautiful view from the room we booked. Hotel has a guest manager who checks in on all guests, which is a nice touch. Hotel has 2 other hotels that they work with so they try to keep it interesting, with breakfast moving between the lodges. It's right on the beach so easy access to many restaurants and hotels in the area.. Water cooler for guests and glass bottle in room so you can refill water anytime you need, with the blazing heat in Zanzibar, this was a nice touch.
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.
Bamboo Design Hotel is the place to stay if you are looking for peaceful and relaxing time.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, with a design that embodies modern looking, but keeps a touch of Zanzibar style, the views from the pool and restaurant are breathtaking, the staff is very nice, ready to help and they make you feel spoiled, and there is THE FOOD, which was the most delicious, from snacks, to breakfast, lunch and dinner - TASTY!
Incredible location, literally on the beach. Marty and Charlotte were super nice and always available during our stay. Staff super nice! The size of the hotel was a perfect choice for us, small boutique hotel, great to relax. Great room, nice view, shower with good pressure and hot water. Really good restaurant! Also you can walk along the beach to different restaurants or along the little village.
It was our favourite hotel in Zanzibar!
A little gem in Jambiani. I traveled around Tanzania for 3 weeks and this is for sure the best hostel I stayed in! Great atmosphere and very welcoming people in the bar and management. Very sad that I only had one night to spend at this beautiful place. The breakfast was great, but best of all was the people there. Lots of sunbeds, hammocks and little areas where you can sit and relax. Located directly at the beach.
One of the prettiest & best hotels in Jambiani.
We booked 5 nights and ended up extending our stay. The view from our room was stunning! We stayed in room 10.
Great facilities, beautiful settings right on the beach, nice restaurant with wood fired pizza.
The service was 5 Stars. Thanks to the entire team and especially to Hida for making our stay a truly memorable experience 🙏
We will definitely come back!
Its a green-energy focused resort, and outstanding serenity and tranquility in the area of the hotel. Beautiful and empathic staff they have. Unfortunately i had to cut my holiday short and travel back to my home, they were understanding to an extent and they refunded a portion of my money back. Still grateful for that.
Will definitely consider this hotel when i come back to you Zanzibar
The location was great in Jambiani -- it was directly in front of the beach! The Villa Mina staff (Sheby, Rei, Pandu, Sada and Kongwa) were just super accommodating and made sure that my stay was restful and as flawless as it could possibly be. The owner of the place was also responsive to the needs of the guests. Overall, it was an outstanding experience in Jambiani, Zanzibar!
This is a perfect boutique hotel on the beach in Jambiani a lovely spot in the south east of Zanzibar.
The hosts are very welcoming and inforrmative. The staff lovely and friendly. The room has a terrace right next to the beach. The pool is beautiful as well as the surrounding area where one can relax with a cocktail.
The food was very enjoyable.
Highly recommended.
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!
Everytthinggg was amazingg. We loved everyone. Great people, Laura the hotel manager was supper amazing & friendly as well as Agnes & all the waiters.
Food was fantastic, great facilities, room was always clean & smelled fresh.
This hotel will definitely be my number one choice if i ever i went again to Zanzibar.
- Great location! It's right on the beach.
- Friendly staff. They found me a driver back to Stone town, and the driver, Mudi, is nice and punctual. We talked a lot on the way, and we're friends now!
- Quiet at night, which is great, because many seaside hotels play loud music till midnight.
- Good breakfast.
Dhow resort was fabulous! Beach front location was awesome. Great food and drinks. Everyone in the hospitality staff was excellent, professional, friendly, and they made our stay so comfortable it felt like home away from home. First visit to Zanzibar was epic because of everyone at Dhow!
Location is good as the most Beach location in Zanzibar. Cleaning staff doing the job, rooms was cleaned every day. Good wi fi in the rooms, but not in all locations. Best vegetable samosas i have tasted. Late check out was possible with no extra fee.
Ibrahim was a very gracoius and helpful host.
Great location with easy access to Jambiani Beach and the village of Paje only 10 minute taxi ride away.
Breakfast was top notch and Ibrahim adapted to our tastes through the stay.
The room with sea view really has an amazing view, and the beach in front of the hotel is nice and relatively quiet. The area of Jambiani is nice, much more quiet the nearby village of Paje. The breakfast was tasty.
Location was ok, tide is very low all day though. A shirt walk from the hotel there’s a clean beach with almost no rocks. Prices are ok in the restaurant for lunch and dinner, 5% added if paying by card.
