Pamoja Beach Stays Hotel in Jambiani

A short walk from the beach.

We felt the place was poorly equipped and managed. The water pump was super noisy all night, the mosquito nets had holes, some doors didn’t close properly, one ceiling fan onl my moved slowly, the kitchen lacked equipment and there weren’t enough chairs for all guests to sit at the table. The yard was full of glass shards, knives on the floor and open paint buckets, which made one bedroom unusable during the day. When we complained about some of these things, little was done to fix the problems. We won’t be back.

Nous avons passé un très agréable voyage à Jambiani, l’appartement être grand chaque chambre avait son propre toilettes, le petit déjeuner était correct, l’appartement est à deux pas de la plage. Il avait pas mal des bons restaurant à proximité. Je recommande fortement

Il avait un petit bruit d’un tuyau à côté d’une chambre mais pas si grave

The beach front and the WiFi speed was excellent

We loved everything about our property, it catered all our needs as a group

Camere pulite e accoglienti, tranne una, ma Jordana è un’host molto attenta e presente.

Il bagno senza porta nelle camere al piano superiore

El apartamento está en la planta baja, cuenta con 3 habitaciones con baño privado, una sala-comedor una cocina con estufa de gas y refrigerador y tiene un pequeño porche a un lado de la recepción con vista a un pequeño jardín donde hay platanales a Hibiskus. Desayuno básico cada día. Esta muy cerca de la playa, con lo que a unos cuantos pasos se puede disfrutar de una hermosa vista. El personal muy atento, dispuesto a recibir sugerencias y a darnos buenas recomendaciones para disfrutar nuestra estancia. Jambiani es un buen punto de partida para ver interesantes y bonitos lugares!

Al parecer ellos no tuvieron suficiente tiempo para arreglar el apartamento y en un inicio, aunque las habitaciones estaban limpias, recibimos una cocina sucia, faltaban los utensilios de cocina, productos de limpieza, los cojines de la sala estaban muy sucios y las cortinas de la cocina también, un anillo de uno de los baños estaba quebrado. Pero después de hablarlo con el dueño ellos cambiaron el anillo del baño, nos trajeron lo que necesitábamos para la cocina, incluido un garrafon de agua, los productos de limpieza y logramos disfrutar de nuestra estancia en Jambiani. En la descripción hablan de una Tina de baño, creo que es una mala traducción, ya que en el hotel no tienen tina de baño, no al menos en la planta baja.

Great location.

No air condition.

We had a great stay. Cozy surroundings, close to the beach and many nice restaurants. We stayed in the big apartment, that was very spacious and cozy with each our bathroom at all 3 bedrooms. The staff was so friendly, making us feel as we were welcomed in someones home. Jordana is an exceptional host, helping us with all questions we had, and organizing trips for a good deal. Breakfast was nice and different everyday, but it would be a plus if different meals could be optional and pre-ordered (as some of us had different preferences).

The minus was the power cuts happening almost every day while we stayed there, and could last for 3-6 hours. With these kind of issues (that happens all over Zanzibar) the hotel should have a generator. We had to plan everyday according to the times of the power cut which is a bit of a headache. It could also get very hot without AC, but since this hotel was very affordable compared to other, it was still worth the money.

Jambiani was the perfect location for us. It was peaceful, less crowded, and quieter than other beaches we visited, which made it feel like a true holiday. The area has amazing restaurants that are reasonably priced—don’t miss Kupaga! We ate there several times and loved everything we tried. Our apartment was just steps away from the beach. We woke up to beach views every morning. The staff and breakfast were great. The pancakes with coconut sauce were my absolute favourite! Jordana was an outstanding host. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home and comfortable, even helping us book activities in preparation for our trip. I got sick during our trip, and Jordana kindly offered to get medication from the pharmacy. She and her partner, Andre, hosted a New Year’s Eve braai (BBQ) for all the guests. We got to connect with people from all over the world over amazing food and a bonfire. They even invited us to a New Year’s Eve party in Paje, which turned out to be such fun. After leaving Jambiani, we stayed in Nungwi, but nothing compared to our amazing experience with Jordana and her warm hospitality.

There was very little not to like. The warm water at Jambiani Beach took a bit of getting used to for me (I prefer colder water). My husband, however, loved it because he enjoys warmer water.

A lot of space, view on the ocean (small piece, i think only from my room), very friendly and handsome owners, breakfast, chat for guests with electricity cut off information, good wifi all the time (even if there is no electricity)

Some smell in the second room Zanzibar issues - Low water pressure, electricity cutoffs
