“Feeling at home in Paradise!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

Given that even a hovel could seem an enchanted castle in such a corner of Paradise, this hotel has something very special, not easy to find somewhere else... a strong, discreet, genuine human warmth! Bungalows are currently under renewal so people going there in this period will probably have some problems in taking a relaxing, hot shower... but worthwhile anyway!!... More

Thanks for your feedback and your understanding as we go through the renovation phase. We will be completing the renovation before the summer (July-2012) where every room will have hot water and we do hope that you will enjoy the relaxed hot shower the next time you visit us. Thanks again for staying with us and for taking the time... More

“AVOID!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2012

We wanted to stay there for 4-5 nights but left immideatly after the first one. I know what travelling in Africa means but this place seems to be cursed... The staff ther (We called them witch and devil) are extremly annyoing and unfriendly. The only thing they want to do is overcharge you (using a very uncommong and bad exchange... More

“Amazing area, friendly locals”

I recommend staying at White Sands for a few nights, but not for too long. The price suited our budget, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the beach was beautiful and quiet. Jambiani White Sand's weakest points are their breakfasts - small and boring, and the cleanliness/upkeep of their rooms. We struggled to have even cold showers, as we... More

This is a relaxing place to stay. The owner and staff are laid back and very helpful.The bungalows are good for a budget place in Zanzibar and certainly a lot better value than many in the surrounding area.The bungalows really are right on the beach and when the tides up, the water laps the grounds! Jambiani itself seemed safe (compared... More

“Excellent place to relax and enjoy the nature with hosts that make you feel at home!”

person found this review helpful

Staying in this place was a great experience for us, we had a bungalow just in front of the beach, we could enjoy the sun-rise every morning from our bed, walk directly to the sea, swim when the tide was high, and enjoy the beautiful nature of the island. We stayed there 8days/7 nights paying the all-inclusive fee, which is... More
