My overall impression: Everything is just ok and no more. The garden together with the restaurant look very nice. But overall the quality is that of a budget hotel with the price (60 dollar per night for basic room in high season) of a midrange hotel. Within the area, it is nicely located between Jambiani and Paje. The area is... More

Your remarks for the overall impression are correct!. We are a 2 star hotel and not more. I don´t want unsatisdied guest and so i think it is good to know this and not to expect a 4 or 5 star hotel for the price of a 2 star hotel. The mentioned problem was in deed a communication problem as... More

The hotel staff make any stay at Pakachi wonderful. The accommodation is basic beach huts but what more do you need when the weather is warm. The hotel food is the best in the area and any seafood not available when mentioned to the staff, was brought in for us the next evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pakachi... More

If you want 5 star luxury with no atmosphere go next door. This simple but humble hotel was out of this world. Solomon(manager) was so helpful, nothing was to much trouble. Muu and Ali behind the bar where genuine and funny. Food is excellent,service out of this world you could not ask for a better hotel any where in the... More

During June and July 2011 Me and my girlfriend, we spent a month around Tanzania. We did some safaris in southern and northern circuit and after that we have decided to spent a week in full relax in Zanzibar. For that purpose we've booked a room at Pakachi Beach Hotel in Jambiani. It was an huge fault - it was... More

Yes you booked a room with 2 floors, 2 double bed for daily cjhoice where to sleep. Upstairs you can open the front wall completely and close when it´s to cold or to windy for you. You can see this in the description and on the pictures. Why did you book this room when you don´t like this feeling? Why... More

First: ppl be aware of budget you are spending and take this into consideration while doing reviews. It is so not fair to compare Pakachi with Spice Island because this is price ratio: 25usd vs 75usd, respectively. I am in Pakachi as I write this. Not my first time to Zanzibar or Jambiani either. Once you make statement about any... More

You booked a 2 star hotel and therefore you cannot expect 5 star facilities. I don´t know why you had the feeling that the rooms were dirty, we are cleaning daily all rooms and all beds are equipped with mosquito nets. We also have a constant water pressure because our water reservoir is always located at the same place. We... More

We stayed in one of the 1-room open-air beach bungalows for four nights in August 2011 and, overall, found Pakachi to be a solid budget option for a Zanzibar beach vacation. Food---breakfast was included in our room price and was fine, consisting of 3-4 types of fresh fruit, coffee and tea, a sort of pancake thing, and omelette on toast.... More

Claudia L is completely right. They sent us to another hotel. The other hotel wasn't confort at all. They did't explained us anything, they just lied to us saying that it was the same hotel and, of course, it wasn't true. The replay of the Pakachi Beach Hotel to Claudia it´s another lie. We booked one month in advance and... More

1. thing is that we didn´t lie. We told the guest that we are working together with this hotel. We never told you that it´s the same hotel. 2. We never got a confirmation in any way from the guest even they got all the informations about the different ways how to confirm. They just ordered a transfer 3 days... More
