Sharazad Boutique Hotel - Jambiani (Zanzibar)

The outdoor areas feature plenty of swings to lounge around and enjoy the sun, which adds to a tranquil setting perfect for relaxation. The garden view from the bungalow allowed for some lovely breezy mornings that I appreciated.

The path from the rooms to the outdoor areas is just beach sand. Food options are pretty basic European fare, which can feel a bit limiting, especially with limited nearby dining options due to the rough road outside. You'll find refillable glass water bottles instead of the standard ones, but be prepared to refill them yourself at water stations, which can be a hassle during beach outings. Any issues, like dropping a refillable bottle, can lead to unexpected charges that seem unwarranted given what you're already paying to stay here.

The place was clean, I booked the bungalow with sea views, everything was perfect. All members of the staff were supper friendly. There were a safe, a sofa bed, and tea/coffee making equipment in the room, liked that. The location of this charming small hotel was great, far away from the main hotspots...

Everything is great here, had an incredible stay during the meetings. It has amazing and excellent location by nature. It is very close to Zanzibar has to offer, and the Jambiani beach, we truly enjoyed the view of the sea.

Positive, Great facilities with multiple pools and a beautiful outdoor area to relax. I loved the spacious room and the delicious local dishes, especially the octopus! They even provide complimentary beach bags and hats. Excellent wifi in the rooms and outdoor areas made working easy as well 😊

The staff was super-friendly with advice and suggestions. I thoroughly enjoyed the room and its cozy decor.

Be sure to check out the cocktail menu. The presentation is as good as the flavors!

The location was sweet as, but we got woken up too early by cleaning staff and the wifi could've been heaps better. The beach vibes made up for it, though!

Jambiani beach bliss 🌊

The staff's warm welcome with a drink was such a nice touch! The pools were awesome for a chill day, and the food-especially the octopus-was on another level! It was like home, even with all the beautiful sea views to enjoy. Lekker vibe!

The outdoor seating areas could do with a bit more upkeep-those colourful pillows needed a wash.

Things I wish I knew before I tried it

The moments spent here reminded me of a peaceful retreat. Really good staff like Jenny and Joyce were very good too, from organizing tours to a magical dinner on the beach. Our room with an ocean view was fine. We can't wait to return!

cozy stay with nice amenities

The hotel provides excellent outdoor areas that feature plenty of sunbeds and swings for relaxation. The restaurant serves a good variety of dishes, with really good wines and cocktails presented beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the garden view from my room, made for lovely mornings with a refreshing breeze.

Electricity outages can occur, more related to the region than the hotel itself.

The outdoor areas are super chill with lots of sunbeds and swings. Loved the original dishes on the menu, especially the prawns!

the cleaning staff woke me up early , but the private beach area was stunning with cozy loungers, delicious local dishes were served at the restaurant with a great ocean view, and the friendly staff made everything feel like home.

Great thing about this place is that it's in a peaceful spot and they've got parking! 🚗

This place is pretty clean and has really friendly staff, which is awesome. the location is absolutely stunning, and the fact that they have on-site parking is a big plus. it's situated in a really bustling area, so you won't be bored here for sure! 🌟

It was just a nice choice for a fleeting moment in Jambiani with good value for cost. The outdoor areas were chill with plenty of swings to relax on. Bring your own snacks since food options are limited.
