As locals of Jambiani, we like to visit Dhow Beach frequently as there is always someone to hang out with and have a chat about Zanzibar and life in general, or football in specific. The management is changing again, and now it should go back to the relaxed vibe that it was known for before. It's no luxury, but if... More

Spent 8 days at this amazing venue. One never gets tired at looking at the sea view day in and day out. The staff are very friendly and the host Max and Suzzie went out of there way to make this a fabulous vacation. Will be back again with others.

Stayed here for 2 nights in June this year. The staff is great. I learned how to scuba with the owner - cheapest prices on the island and an excellent teacher! The beds are big, there are mosquito nets, and the place is clean. Didn't really have hot water, but we were there during low season & were the only... More

Had a pizza there for lunch. Worst food on our travel so far and highly priced 10$. No service attitude at all and a very dirty toilette. We did not discover any guest but a lot staff hanging around. Would NEVER spend a vacation there!!!

We were collected by a friendly Tsetzo who went out of his way to make us welcome playing us local zanzibar music as he drove us to his place. His place had the ambiance one would expect from a beach resort, it was beautiful and fresh, typical beach cottage and outdoor restaurant and bar. The staff was extremely friendly and... More

I was travelling with my three friends in May this year. When we came to Jambiani we fell in love with the place from the first sight! I loved the environment with the white sands and the turquoise ocean. But the real reason why we loved Jambiani so much was because of Dhow Beach! The staff was incredible nice and... More

This place felt like home away from home! Great people working there, laid back feeling and beautiful location. One of the best places I dived in, and cheapest on the island. Can't wait till I'm coming back next time!
