We stayed here for a week, and found it to be poor value for money, with staff who are complacent and food that was just edible. We were very disappointed, and if we hadn't booked and paid for the week would have moved to another place- there are better value lodges and bungalows nearby. More

Don't go if you are into luxurious hotels. It is very basic and definitely could use a generous renovation. The location is perfect if you prefer to experience the local essence of Zanzibar. i hope that they have a generator by now, because we had to stay for 3 days without power. More

Jambiani is Paradise! Its just about the most relaxing place on earth. Yes, the Shehe is basic, but its clean and the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is great. Some people complained about the electricity failing but that just happens in places like Zanzibar, and its almost part of the charm.. its such a peaceful safe relaxing... More

Location : super Catering : minimum Remember : this is a budget ( no Resort,... More

Shehe bungalows is a very basic lodge with no luxuries. I think it's important being aware of that before going because you are not going to have hot water or air conditioning (but this is Africa!). However, the views from the bungalows are amazing, infront of the sea, and the staff is very kind. The rooms have fans and perfect... More

The people who ran the bungalows were all amazing, Ade was the main man and was very helpful. From the... More

I wouldn't recommmend this place. Great location right on the beach but very badly maintained. Our first room had a broken ceiling fan (the door had also been bashed in and had been poorly repaired). We asked to be moved to a much better room. Loo didn't flush. Neighbours room had drains which wouldn't drain - raw sewage in your... More
