We had a double room with kitchen, it was really nice to stay there. The room itself is cosy, but it has everything that is needed, the room service is available daily or on request, also it is possible to ask for loundry service. Internet connection in the room is not always the best, but if you go to restaurant or closer to shared space then it is very good, I worked from there without any problems. Staff is very helpfull, they agreed to store our laggage for couple of days and arranged taxi with discount.

An inexpensive accommodation within 10 minutes walk to the beach. Breakfast was basic but the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Mosquitoes (not a guesthouse specific issue). Be prepared with repellants etc

Good location! Good garden view and good Wi-Fi, the rooms smell lovely, spacious and big bed size. Transportation is available, markets and good restaurants available close by. The staff are kind and helpful with anything, good English so no miscommunication. I appreciated having easy and safe access to the beach and enjoyed wind surfing nearby. Thanks a lot!

Super nice location! The rooms are clean, and the host is always attentive. The staff is very supportive when you need support, and the breakfast was excellent. And there are a lot of places to visit nearby. Overall, I would highly recommend it to others, and I definitely be back next time I visit Jambani.

The rooms are very nicely equiped, very comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Short walk to Jambiani beach. However, located at the very end of Jambiani, just consider it when doing the booking.
