Rumah Kotej di Jambiani

Aina oekland Norway

I have been looking forward to write this review, because this place is the best place we have ever been!!! And we have traveled a lot..From we booked to we left yesterday, we have felt so welcome and been taken so good care of! Excellence is the best word, and in every way! Hospitality, staff, food, the bungalows, housekeeping and the setting is spectacular, on one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar. It’s easy to go to every parts of the island, because they have the best drivers on the planet. So calm, safe cars, on time, waiting for you while you do your plan for that day. They organize massage for you outside your bungalow, private barbecue, and set up trips to different activities on the island that you want to see. And the prices are good. What is good to know is that Jambiani Villas have three properties on the beach. The one in the middle has the restaurant for breakfast and other meals. We stayed on the property 350 meters north, but loved that breakfast walk every morning on the beach! The bungalow had the most amazing sea view, and every morning we sat on the balcony taking it all in, before we jumped into the turquoise water and walked for breakfast. They also offer room service for free, if you want your breakfast in your house, but I recommend the 5 min walk! It is also good to know that this is Africa! One row behind, you meet the locals and you see the poverty and the big differences. But you also see how important tourism are for the locals. We buy their beautiful handmade things, they got work on different properties and they are extremely friendly. We were totally safe even after sunsets, walking to a restaurant along the beach.

This is a great place to have a relaxing vacation with friends and/or family. You have the intimacy of an entire house and the benefit of your private pool suitable for 6-8 people, with the confort of the cleaning service and pool mentainance. 3 minutes away you will find a bakery with good breakfast options and some small shops with fruits, vegetables, drinks etc. Kikadini House and Jambiani are a great option to have an authentic Zanzibar experience

Callister and the whole staff is miraculous. You can not ask anything, that they would not help immediately. villa and garden are beautiful. pool area and beach house is just perfect - that is important, as the ocean did not really want to meet us a lot.:)

For those who likes short reviews: STOP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PLACE! You won’t regret this decision! This is a perfect villa for family vacation or vacation with friends. My parents and I spent 3 weeks in Zanzibar. We were extremely lucky to choose this place to stay! We loved everything: the beautiful stylish villa, its owner Raphael who gave us endless support and care, Juma and Issa who work with Raphael, the location that is just steps away from the beach, restaurants and local little shops with water and fruits, our friendly neighbors in the village and Maasai warriors on the beach. We will come back! THE VILLA Comfortable and really beautiful, decorated with great taste. The photos do not make a justice - we were awed! There is a patio with comfy furniture that we constantly used. The house is spacious, airy and bright. It has everything you possibly need – good AC in every room, high ceilings and big windows, well separated rooms means that guests do not bother each other, kitchen with everything for cooking, awesome living room perfect for gatherings and board games. There is even a little work table. Bathrooms are huge w/ fast water heaters and quality new washer, iron and drying racks. All the beds are very comfy and equipped with mosquito nets RAHPAEL's TEAM In a nutshell: we were covered and had zero problems. Raphael is awesome and has big heart! He is adventurous, knowledgeable, truly hospitable, kind, honest. He was always available online to answer all questions big and small and helped us out in many situations which is so important for a foreigner without Swahili. Issa, the young house keeper, leaves next to the villa and invisible, but appears magically and solves everything in house in a heartbeat. Juma drove us around multiple times and organized a great tour in Stone Town and Jozani. He is awesome driver and storyteller! Ask him about history, local spices and remedies

I absolutely love this location, it is perfect, at high tide the stairs, leading to the beach from the property are covered in water, at low tide, you have super soft sand to walk to the sea which is just a few metres away. Great swimming location. And everything that you need is in the apartment including an ice cold fridge. If you don’t feel like cooking , there is a restaurant next door with good value food and drinks. There are many other restaurants further on the beach if you feel like walking 15 minutes on the beach, including a very nice pizza place. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here for the whole Zanzibar time and make this my base in the future. If it’s still available, just book it

The whole operation was very professionally handled. From initial discussions with Callister after we made our booking, through to organising the cleaning service when we were at the villa, the communication was outstanding throughout. The villa itself was stunning, with comfortable beds, a lovely welcoming kitchen/diner area and outstanding views of the ocean.
