Guest Reviews
Nous n’avons pas pu bénéficier de l’hôtel car Expedia a omis de nous informer que l’hôtel était fermé et la cellule de relogement ne nous a pas recontacte. Nous nous sommes trouvés à la rue et à devoir repayer un nouvel hôtel dans un contexte politique ultra tendu en Tanzanie. Merci encore une fois Expedia
Attention à ce jour vous pouvez encore reservé cet hotel sur Expedia alors qu’il est toujours fermé.
Nous n’avons pas pu juger l’hôtel en lui même.
Staff were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, informative and helpful.
Location was perfect, right on the beachfront.
Pool overlooking the ocean
Bungalow was sufficient for our needs
Luckily our flights and arrival was delayed due to lost luggage, as there would have been no one to see us into our room as previously arranged had we arrived at 4:30am.
We were welcomed by an awesome gent named Stuart..
Due to our long stay the breakfast included was very limited with hardly any variations. Was very repetitive.
Certain items on the restaurant menu were not always available and certain items they ran out of stock.
Some mornings we had to wait until 7:30 to be able to get tea or coffee.
Our bungalow was infested with borer, and our clothes and bedding was covered with frass. The same with the restaurant area.
On a rainy day our unit leaked on the one side, fortunately we were there at the time so managed to move our belongings out of waters reach.
Water pressure was affected on random occasions.
Electricity drops quite often, which seems to be a general problem in Zanzibar.
Clearly a lack of management and lack of interest in the running of the lodge.
Has so much potential.
Le coin était calme et reposant avec accès direct à la plage.
Absence de climatisation dans les chambres, modele écologique.
Pool was clean , beach is immediately accessible from the lodge. Staff are super friendly and accommodating . Room is well sized beautiful location for a peaceful stay the lodge in it's entirely is very beautiful.
No wifi in the room, shower works intermittently, hot water is not always available. The food took 2 hours when ordering from the lodge kitchen on every occasion besides breakfast, which was more reasonable. The room was clean but had a smell after room was cleaned during our stay the 2nd time the smell was gone.
O hotel é super fofo, bastante confortável, com pé na areia. Tem uma piscina de borda infinita em frente ao mar. Lugar maravilhoso
Não tem tudo que está no cardápio
Il posto è di per sè un paradiso. La posizione è strepitosa, direttamente sulla spiaggia. Camere molto carine. Pulizia ok. Unica nota negativa, purtroppo non poco: sono eterni nel servire la colazione. Non hanno un buffet ma è su ordinazione e abbiamo aspettato oltre 1 ora per riceverla. Conviene organizzarsi altrove per farla
Eterni nel servire la colazione.
Feines kleines Hotel, direkt am Strand
L’emplacement est juste incroyable , la piscine sur la plage
Magnifique vue
La ubicación excelente, y la piscina con vistas a la playa brutal.
Las habitaciones estaban mal cuidadas, no había agua caliente y el servicio de comidas muy lento.
L hotel et delabré la bouffe deguellasse rien ne va a eviter
Location is unbeatable - not many people and near everything u want from jimbiani
Hotel is outdated in need of serious renovation, photos on website is very different from reality, kitchen is poor, same dish they cook different all the time. Takes at least one hour to cook anything. No fresh fish, not enough alcohol in the bar. We ended up eating other restaurants. Electricity sometimes goes down without obvious reasons. Not enough sunbeds. Cant recommend this hotel to anyone - do not believe pics - done when hotel was in it peak 6 - 7 years ago.
Good
On first sight it looked idyllic. Lovely hut right on the beachfront with balcony and the sea a few feet away. Nice pool and a scattering of sunbeds. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was OK. Plenty at breakfast but the same every day.
First night there and we had very heavy rain which resulted in the hut having very large pools of water throughout. This continued for a number of days. Manager apologised and offered a room at the rear of premises with no sea view or balcony which we paid for. As the weather got better the leaks obviously ceased but pool was not cleaned in 5 days and had lots of dead bugs in it.
On arrival we were immediately upgraded to a sea view room.
Location and beach are good.
Nice room with great view and air conditioning which is a must.
All staff were very friendly.
The chef is excellent and we really enjoyed our evening meals
I would like to add that the manager Kariem is a credit to the running of this hotel.
Thanks Kariem and i look forward to meeting up with you in the future.
The staff is great! Location is good. The sleeping area is ok for a very short stay, showers not working and issues with toilets, but overall a good place. The beach is raw and just amazing, the sunrise is the best!
Be patient pole pole for everything!
