We got money stolen from our rooms and no one helped us. The housekeepers got into our rooms and stole more than $100 usd from us. You’re forced to leave your rooms keys so everyone has access to it. The location is pointless as there’s nothing around to get dinner or drinks. The receptionist was intrusive and very confusing. The beds had bed bugs and electricity was on an off constantly. Transportation is expensive and difficult to get. The path to the beach is dangerous for women as there’s a construction going on. The only good thing I could say is that the kitchen staff was lovely. Stay here at your own risk.

Really great hotel with nice big, comfortable rooms (with A/C) and nice facilities). The pool is perfect, breakfast was included which was tasty and the eating area was up top with a nice view. It also has a basic gym - no weights but there is a free basic beach gym with weights in front of the hotel. Slightly out of Paje town but we rented a scooter so that wasn’t an issue at all (30 minute walk on the beach or 3 minute scooter ride). It was much better value that what the same would have costs us right in Paje and if you have a scooter it is perfect to still go there for food and drinks etc. Staff were also very friendly and it is a 1 mini walk to the beach.

This place is fantastic - nice, clean rooms. The service is very nice, everyone is smiling and helpful, the breakfasts are very good - fresh food, delicious juicy fruit, very tasty fried and scrambled eggs, not to mention excellent local delicacies. The restaurant is available to guests all the time, serving cold drinks by the pool and delicious dishes.

I really enjoyed , the food was nice, and especially the attitude of staffs in restaurant were quite amazing I loved that. Compare to other big stars hotel or even other lodges, if you see the food quality and price, you will shock!! I'm so famous on picky for food, each and everything, but in there I have no comment. Just I fell love in here

Met with an incredible and attentive staff. Great place and clean rooms. Preferred location as being in between Paje and Jambiani. Got injured during one of my incursions and staff was extremely helpful. Will come again if I get the chance !

(Translated by Google) This hotel needs a lot of improvement. The restaurant bathroom doesn't have soap, there's a noisy machine running nearby during the day, and the mattress is extremely firm, making it difficult to sleep. It doesn't have anything particularly appealing like a beach club or anything like that. I think for the price, or a little more, you can find something better. For now, I don't recommend staying there. P.S. The staff there are friendly. (Original) Es un hotel que falta mucho mejorar, el baño del restaurante no tiene jabón, durante el día hay una máquina trabajando aún lado que hace ruido, el colchón es sumamente firma que no permite un buen descanso, No tiene como algo atractivo tipo beach club o asi creo por el precio o un poco mas se puede conseguir algo mejor por ahora no recomiendo hospedarse ahi. P.D las personas de ahi son amables.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended! A lovely, small, and clean lodge; well-run! 10 bungalows for 1-2 people. Very good and friendly staff. Large and clean pool. Quiet – except for the generator at the neighboring hotel, which can sometimes be heard. The beach is a 2-minute walk away. For me, it's great value for money! (Original) Empfehlenswert! Eine schöne, kleine und saubere Lodge; gut geführt! 10 Bungalows für 1-2 Personen. Sehr gutes und nettes Personal. Großer und sauberer Pool. Ruhig - bis auf den Generator im Nachbarhotel, der manchmal gut zu hören ist. Der Strand ist in 2 Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen. Für mich ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis!

The hotel's own restaurant serves Swahili and coastal dishes, with fresh seafood, fish specials, and international options made from local ingredients. It is a convenient choice for meals before or after time on Paje Beach. For other dining, you can explore local eateries in the Paje area, which is a short walk or ride away. The nearby Jambiani Beach and Kuza Cave, both within a short walk, may also have casual food spots. Your hotel restaurant is a solid base for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you can easily venture out to find more local flavors along the coast.

The hotel's own restaurant serves Swahili and coastal dishes, and there is a bar for evening drinks. For further exploration, Jozani Forest is 14.7 km away, best reached by taxi or tour.

How do I get to Jabali Bungalows Lodge from the airport or main train station?

You can book a transfer with the hotel or take a local taxi for the journey. The lodge is in the Paje area on the east coast, a short taxi or scooter ride from Paje main beach. There is no train station on Zanzibar, so the airport is your main arrival point.

The hotel's own restaurant offers meals, and popular tours like the Dolphin tour and Jozani Forest, Kuza Cave, Paje Beach and The Rock Restaurant trip can cover the farther sights. For exploring Stone Town or the north, you would need a longer journey, but the lodge works well for the local area.
