Very nice

The breakfast was amazing 👏.... the staff were friendly 😀 and the view was beautiful plus it was very clean with the beautifully room 😊

Amazing location right on the beach with great restaurants near by. We had no power for 24hours which also meant no water pressure (impossible to shower). this hotel did not have a generator

The staff was amazing...especially Mohammad..alwaus smile and house keepers

Chambre degeulasse à l’arrivée, pleine de toiles d’araignées et d’araignées, pas de filet pour les insectes. Lit horrible, chambre sale, 2 pouces d’épais de crasse sur le dessus de l’air climatisé, literie tachée. Vu les nombreuses araignées dans la chambre j’ai demandé à changer de chambre, on m’a répondu que pour avoir une chambre propre j’allais devoir payer plus cher. J’ai donc payé un supplément pour une chambre nettoyée convenablement…cette chambre là était en bien meilleur état. Par contre, Aucun service, le personnel n’est d’aucune aide. Ils s’en foutent complètement. Hôtel n’est pas du tout représentatif des photos, ça tombe en ruine. Les heures prévues pour le petit déjeuner ne sont pas respectées (on nous a dit 7h à 9h mais toujours servi en retard entre 7:30 et 7:45..à prévoir si vous avez une excursion de prévue!) le wifi ne fonctionne pas dans les chambres, seulement dans le lobby. Aucune bouteille d’eau de fournies dans les chambres, il faut payer pour des bouteilles d’eau. Aucun shampoing juste du savon de fourni. État général de l’hôtel laisse à désirer comparer aux photos de l’annonce. Mais le pire vraiment, c’est le service qui a été horrible sur toute la ligne.

Accommodation was a bit rustic but the customer service was exemplary. Friendly and endlessly helpful the staff at the White Sands Bungalows enhanced my Zanzibar experience!

Quaint little hotel located on the beach at the south end of Jambiani. Room was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast is served each morning with a selection of fruit followed by a choice of eggs and pancakes. The restaurant isn’t really geared up for much else and doesn’t open in the evening, but there are a nice choice of restaurants in both directions along the beach. Only critism would be that staff aren’t particularly well trained on hospitality and customer service aside of what seemed to be ‘the manager’ Jocher who was very helpful, but obviously not always available.

I enjoyed Rm. 4. It was a beautiful beach view and very pretty. I really enjoyed my stay.

Perfect place!

The hotel staff was superior. After having a terrible time finding the place in the evening, tired from a long day we got here and our room was not what we thought we were getting nor was it ready. Weird as they knew we were coming but did Not seem ready for us. After ordering diner we ate, felt better and finally got a proper room. Hard evening. However next day was perfect. From morning breakfast we went for a walk on the beach, swam in the pool! Breakfast was perfect and really good. Good in general is superior. The owner really took special care of us and we even got super late check out! A wonderful ending to our trip. I would come again and stay longer. Felt so at home it was embarrassing. Thought we were taking too much space! Very grateful for my Tanzanian brothers taking such good care of my family and o. Plus points: daughter and wife loved it! Very relaxing! Will come again

So firstly let me tell you , our original hotel cancelled on us last minute and I’m the type of girl who researches everything so I was in a bit of a panic but chose Jambiani white sands bungalows! What an amazing little boutique hotel! I was not disappointed from the moment of arrival we were made to feel very welcome. If your looking for a five star all inclusive then this is not your place. Instead this is a small hotel directly on the beach where you can really experience Zanzibar with the locals with amazing staff and service. Our room was upgraded to a beach view and waking up every morning to the view of the beach and ocean was spectacular. Room was comfortable, with a very comfy bed and shower room and balcony. The room also had a fan and AC which was much needed at night! The staff in particular Aziza and the chef Jacob are absolutely amazing who made sure we had all we needed, cooking us some amazing meals and also some meals that were not on the menu which we asked for! These two really made our holiday amazing and this is one of the reasons I would come back and I wouldn’t usually go to a destination twice! The beach what can I say about the beach it’s absolutely stunning with the tide coming in and out a few times a day and sometimes it’s so shallow you can walk waist deep for miles. There is lots of sellers on the beach and massage ladies and also boat boys who will offer you a sail for a really good price and even snorkel or swim.

Great place excellent vibe

I paid and when I showed up I was told the place is overbooked and they could not give my refund.

Fantastic scenary, friendly staff. Everything was as expected and described. Enjoyed staying there and would definetly come back.

Once you reach there, no complaint. The beach is amazingly beautiful. Owner Ali is wonderful gentle guy. His recommendation on restaurants was perfect match to our demand. Flexible service for lunch box arrangement for excursion was also helpful as we could have it on the way to the destination. Jambiani is a bit far from any tourist place, but to spend time relaxed, it is a perfect choice. No beer nor wine was available there, which you need to know.

The bed is rough, there's a lot of ants all over the room and one day we haven't room service. Also in the restaurant, when I ordered a salad came with a flie on it

Amazing beach bungalows with great service. Restaurant serves delicious food (bare in mind a long wait). Staff is friendly and attentive. Located in quiet area where you will have a chance to meet local villagers, play football with kids and see seaweed farms. Unique experience, this place is for you if you want to stay away from expensive all look alike resorts. You can visit the village, eat great food, chat with villagers, don’t worry they are nice and won’t hassle you.

Can't beat the bungalow location and proximity to the beach. Great for a casual stay. Staff worked to correct problems with shower in the room. Basic accomodation and good value for the money.

We came here directly from a strenuous climb of Kilimanjaro. It was a great place to relax and unwind. If you are looking for a lot of night life and activity, though, you probably want to go further north. The beach is nice and sandy here and the water is a beautiful turquoise color but it's hard to swim in the ocean here except at high tide. At low tide, the water is out a really long ways. The hotel is a series of thatched roof bungalows right on the beach and backs up to the little dirt-road village of Jambiani. Our king-sized bed basically took up the whole room. We had to pull our patio table inside so we would have a space to lay our belongings but that worked just fine. The staff was very welcoming. The cook was very good. Very nice breakfast each morning in the open-air restaurant onsite. The restaurant seemed to be a little nicer than many of the others along the beach (with slightly higher prices too but the food was good). Another plus - the hotel was able to hook us up with a reliable, affordable taxi driver who was very accommodating and spoke good English.

Check in took over an hour with almost no communication from the staff, even though it was at 6pm. The room still had used soap and garbage from the previous occupants. The beach, however, was wonderful.
