I stayed in Shehe with a couple of friends last October. Jambiani is a gorgeous area, but the hotel itself was not great! In fairness it was pretty cheap - I think in the end we paid about $9/night each for a room with 2 single beds & a large double. On the plus side, it was in the perfect... More

After an exhausting trip through southern and eastern Africa, my husband and I were hoping to relax on the beach for just one day. We chose Jambiani because we'd seen a documentary on the seaweed farmers and thought that it looked absolutely beautiful; we also typically enjoy places that are off the beaten path and not overrun with tourists.

We stayed here for a week, and found it to be poor value for money, with staff who are complacent and food that was just edible. We were very disappointed, and if we hadn't booked and paid for the week would have moved to another place- there are better value lodges and bungalows nearby. More

Don't go if you are into luxurious hotels. It is very basic and definitely could use a generous renovation. The location is perfect if you prefer to experience the local essence of Zanzibar. i hope that they have a generator by now, because we had to stay for 3 days without power. More

Some people complained about the electricity failing but that just happens in places like Zanzibar, and its almost part of the charm.. its such a peaceful safe relaxing... More

Shehe bungalows is a very basic lodge with no luxuries. I think it's important being aware of that before going because you are not going to have hot water or air conditioning (but this is Africa!). However, the views from the bungalows are amazing, infront of the sea, and the staff is very kind. The rooms have fans and perfect... More
