10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Passion Boutique for part of our honeymoon and felt extremely lucky and well looked after. From booking right up until arrival, the hotel was very good with communication and any queries we had were answered promptly. The stay was faultless. The hotel was beautifully decorated and the amenities were plentiful and well kept. The staff were friendly, kind and couldn't do enough for us. The restaurant served some of the best food we had throughout our stay on Zanzibar. If we ever have the opportunity to travel back to Zanzibar then we would definitely want to stay here again. Thank you."

Jabali Bungalows Lodge

Jabali Bungalows Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Jabali was such a lovely place to stay! I especially loved the little porch area in front of my room. It was the perfect spot to just sit, relax, and enjoy the quiet. The pool area was really nice, and the beach is only a 2–3 minute walk away. The staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful. They arranged transportation and guides for both my trip to Stone Town and my ferry trip to Dar es Salaam, where a guide was waiting for me when I arrived on mainland Tanzania. One of the things that really stood out was the care they showed from the very beginning. When I was arriving late, they checked in to see what I wanted for dinner so they could have it ready for me when I got there. That kind of thoughtfulness continued throughout my stay. Everyone was so lovely and made my stay comfortable and easy. I would absolutely recommend Jabali and would happily stay there again!"

"Relaxed beyond words during our stay @ Blue Reef. This place is a vibe…chill. Luxuries abound in our rooms (we stayed in the apartment). So much space for our family of 4 to really spread out and regroup after a week of safari in northern Tanzania. Snorkeling right from the hotel was perfect for the kids. The breakfasts were spot on for everyone in our group of picky eaters to find their favorites…GREAT COFFEE!!! The staff is laid back and welcoming while also taking care of business. We’ll be back!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Jambiani

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Jambiani is during April, May, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower.

This duration allows visitors to enjoy the relaxing beaches, partake in swimming and scuba diving, and witness stunning sunrises. Additionally, you can immerse yourself in the local culture through dancing, entertainment, and live music, making it a great value for money experience in this charming small town.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Jambiani, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates for hotels nearing your travel date. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to keep informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances to save. The Smart Shopping feature on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you identify the best options. With these tools, you're more likely to be alerted if prices drop or rooms become available, making your last-minute getaway easier to book.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Jambiani. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we will suggest more affordable dates, increasing the likelihood that you might save on your booking.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels in proximity to the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, Jambiani's excellent public transport connections may lead you to discover a more affordable independent hotel situated further afield that remains well linked. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often considerable value for money to be found.
