“A very enjoyable and memorable stay in a beautiful place with great people.”
+The room was super clean and comfortable with a beauriful view of the sea. The breakfast was excellent. The owner, Ewelina, was incredibly helpful to us throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The manager, Hassan, was also super friendly and helpful. We would certainly book here again. In all, a great experience!

“Feels like home 😌”
+After staying in five different hotels in five different locations in Zanzibar, I can honestly say that this one was the best in every way! ❤️ The location is amazing, the beach is beautiful, the staff is absolutely wonderful, and the owner is such a lovely, positive person. What makes this place truly special is its atmosphere , peaceful, relaxing, friendly, and full of positive energy. From the moment you walk through the entrance gate, you feel at home. Everything is easygoing, warm, and welcoming. It’s more than just a hotel; it’s a place with a soul. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Zanzibar! 🌴☀️
−I should stay much longer than only 3 nights.

“A small, cozy beachfront hotel with a wonderful team and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere - highly recommended!”
+We had a wonderful stay at Jerry Hotel! It’s a small and cozy hotel with only a few rooms, which creates a very relaxed and personal atmosphere. Everything is very clean and well maintained, and the location right by the beach is fantastic. The whole team is incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful, and we felt very welcome from the beginning. We also really enjoyed the food and the bar. The location is great, there are restaurants and other hotels nearby, but you’re also close to the village and local life. We really enjoyed getting in touch with people from the area, which made our stay feel much more authentic and special. The team is also very helpful if you need a taxi or want to organize a trip or excursion, and they have great local contacts. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay and would definitely recommend Jerry Hotel!
−The only small thing we would suggest is adding a few more hooks and some extra storage or shelf space in the bathroom. Apart from that, everything was great!

“Wonderful beachfront hotel with a warm, family atmosphere.”
+We had a wonderful stay at Jerry’s Hotel and can highly recommend it! The hotel is beautifully located right on the beach. It is a small, charming and beautifully designed property with a very warm, personal and family-like atmosphere. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the whole property is beautifully maintained, with a lovely pool area. What made our stay especially enjoyable was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Everyone was very welcoming, attentive, and especially kind to our children. The service was excellent throughout our stay. The staff are also always happy to organize excursions and activities. We went on a wonderful trip on a traditional dhow, where we had the chance to go snorkeling and see beautiful starfish , a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our stay. For anyone who enjoys water sports, the location is perfect: kitesurfing and scuba diving are available right on the doorstep. We had a truly relaxing and memorable time here and felt completely at home. Thank you to Jerry and the whole team for making our stay so special. We really hope to come back soon!

“We had a good time with my folks...”
+The breakfast was really good. It's well located, beachfront but difficult to find without help. The place is really clean, seems renovated. Staff are friendly and professional. Meals are a bit expensive in the hotel restaurant.
−The restaurant is too expensive; meals are overly pricey. Also, I really struggled with the tap water, even to take a bath, the smell of the water is too strong, I really don't know what they put in it. Please, do something for the tap water, I can't even brush my teeth with it.

“Amazing and best beach front stay in Zanzibar”
+This is honestly a hidden gem. It's perfection in itself. The owner is so polite,she gave us a driver to pick us up from the airport and back too. The manager Hassan is very helpful and kind. They have a pet monkey in the hotel you can feed him fruits and he is very playful and loves people. They also have an exclusive snokerling experience for a small fee. Staff are very polite I will come back again for sure. Breakfast is so good also
−Everything here is nice. I wouldn't complain about anything. Only one issue here is the owner needs to work on the WiFi connection,that's all. Because the network comes and goes....

+Splendido hotel direttamente sulla spiaggia. Molto accogliente, personale gentile, simpatico e disponibile. Struttura di dimensioni contenute quindi mai troppo affollato. Piscina perfetta, e soprattutto comoda per un tuffo quando la marea è bassa. Camere un pó piccole ma pulite e funzionali con bagno grande. Cambio lenzuola e asciugamani ogni 2 gg. Colazione abbondante e buona. Hanno il generatore in caso di blackout. Ci si può rilassare senza mettere le scarpe essendo direttamente sulla spiaggia, e tra l'altro il tratto di spiaggia di fronte è uno dei migliori. Il migliore in cui ho soggiornato a Zanzibar. Assolutamente consigliato.

“Lujo asequible, amabilidad, ubicación en la playa. Un hotel de 10”
+El personal, profesional, amable, encantadores todos. La ubicacion frente a una playa preciosa, con instalaciones cómodas y agradable hasta el suelo de arena en el que desde que salías de la habitación podías ir descalzo. Esos café tan ricos!.....todo! Éramos un grupo de 7 personas y nos dieron en vez de 2 habitaciones como habíamos pagado, 3 para que estuviéramos más comodos, sin cargos extra. Nos facilitaron excursiones. En fin, que hay hoteles cerca más grandes y aparentemente un poco más lujosos, pero nada que ver con el Jerry, lujo agradable.
−Había un mono que tenían como mascota atado todo el día. Lo siento pero no nos gusta la idea de que el pobre mono estuviera allí todo el día.
