“Delightful stay in Jambiani!”
+the owner, Issa, and the staff are wonderful. The view of the ocean from the large balcony was great. There is direct beach access and the included breakfast is served in the restaurant located right next to the ocean, only steps away. I also had an excellent massage from a friend of the owner while staying there. And she put me in contact with her son who has a boat. Went with him and his crew of 2 on an excellent snorkel & sailing adventure my final full day in Zanzibar. The water in Zanzibar is the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I live in Hawaii. It is so clear & clean and the most beautiful blues and turquoises. Mahalo to Issa and his staff for a wonderful stay in Jambiani. With gratitude, Tracey

+Amka is a great place with very friendly staff, relaxed vibe, very nice decor. It was spotlessly clean. The great thing is that it is not a soulless hotel but an authentic villa located within the village. Of course right by the sea, so you have breakfast on the beach :)

“Great place right on the beach”
+Amazing location, beautiful view from the window and terrace. Great breakfast in a restaurant downstairs right on the beach. We got to choose whatever we want and it was exceptional comparing to the others.
−There was a power break, so the guesthouse could use a power generator

“STOLEN EQUIPMENT”
+The location was quiet and relaxing
−Unfortunately the owner Issa has given up, he lost his motivation for hospitality many years ago, his business is only as good as his staff and Unfortunately his cleaning team are not very welcoming, especially the bigger woman and her new friend, they clearly don't like woman tourists and Unfortunately the jealousy of these woman taken some camera equipment from my room and lost many months of travel memories!! The owner spoken like he taken it serious but he didn't care 1 of the women who taken out things didn't even turn up to be confronted and the owner just shrug his shoulders and said he believes his staff. Very very disappointed but karma will get yous. AVOID

+I liked the view to the sea as well as hospitality from the side of the host and all the workers. The breakfast was heavenly! We really had great time with my friend and also got a lot of peace as there was no one in the room next to ours.

“Je recommande”
+L’emplacement : avec une vu sur la mer incroyable , la petite terrasse est sympa les propriétaires très gentils , le lit été grand et confortable , le petit déjeuné été bon et il y’avait du choix et très généreux .
−Malheureusement la femme de ménage exagère elle toc à la vitre à 10h du matin et lorsqu’on lui dit qu’on souhaite pas le ménage car nous volons nous reposer elle insiste , donc nous devons sortir de notre chambre ..

“Très bel endroit, plage paradisiaque mais personnel peu agréable et accueillant”
+L’emplacement était dingue nous étions à 20secondes à pied de la mer. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux avec énormément de choix. Valeria a été au petit soin et a tout fait pour régler les petits soucis lorsqu’il y en avait. La chambre était grande et spacieuse. Nous recommandons le restaurant Peter Pan où nous prenions le petit déjeuner, nourriture excellente mais service approximatif
−Attention l’établissement est noté comme front de mer, il est en bord de mer. On s’attendait à à voir les pieds dans l’eau au réveil. Le petit déjeuner n’est pas servi en chambre comme évoqué. Les femmes de ménages ne passent que 1 jour sur 2 et encore, elles se moquent des habitants entres elles et ne sont pas gentilles et polies si on ne leur donne pas un pourboire tous les jours. Issa n’a presque jamais été sur place et nous devions nous référer à Valeria à chaque soucis notamment lorsqu’il n’y avait plus de courant. Nous n’étions que 3 couples et le générateur avait du mal a tourné lorsqu’il y avait des coupures (très peu d’eau, électricité limité…).
