Garden Beach Bungalows

Exactly what we were looking for to enjoy seven relaxing days! The bungalows were comfortable and well maintained, with the rooms cleaned daily. We loved the beach, and during low tide we enjoyed using the pool. The attached bar and restaurant were fantastic, serving delicious food and drinks in a beautiful setting. Everything came together to make our stay peaceful, comfortable, and truly memorable. We would happily come back anytime!

I highly recommend this place. It is peaceful and stunning. Amazing staff. Simple but clean rooms. Safe security box inside. An awesome restaurant/bar called the Lost Souls with great food and a perfect atmosphere. Ideal for couples, families, young and old. Bring your suncream and some water shoes. It is inexpensive and feels like a paradise. You don't get constantly hassled to buy things as you are trying to enjoy some family time. There are also loads of local shops and plenty of places to explore up and down the coast. A weekend is not enough time. Thank you to our host and all the lovely staff for making our stay so lovely. 👍🏻👍🏾

This is a great place to stay! We had an amazing time. The place is beautiful and gives the perfect laid back island life vibe. The bungalow has everything you need and has nice interior (we also got free upgrades because of low season:) ), the daily housekeeping is great and the staff (bar/restaurant staff and housekeeping) is amazing: so kind, do anything to make sure you’re having a good time, and really helpful. Also nice that you can easily book your diving experience at the divingschool of one of the owners!

We had an amazing 2 night stay at Garden Beach Bungalows - a relaxing setting right on the breathtaking beach of Jambiani. Our room was super comfortable and was equipped with fans and mosquito nets; the house keeping was exceptional. The beach front is a couple of steps away making beach walks and swims in the pristine Indian Ocean more than accessible. If swimming in the ocean is not for you, there is a stunning pool on site. There are comfortable deck chairs, couches and bean bags on site where you can relax and enjoy the beach view. There is a restaurant and bar which offers a delicious selection breakfast, lunch and dinner at affordable prices (breakfast is included for guests of the hotel). The bar is awesome and fully stocked with refreshing drinks. The staff at the hotel are super friendly and always willing to help, they made our stay care free and comfortable. If you are looking to venture out they will happily organize a shuttle for you. Overall we had an outstanding stay and cannot wait to visit again one day! Unfortunately Google only provides 5 stars as we wish we could give many many more! Thank you very much Garden Beach Bungalows for the incredible experience!

Just stunning! Staff go above and beyond for you. Safe, well situated, fantastic views, great food and drinks. The owners go to great lengths to make every detail perfect. You will return for sure.

This was the first place we stayed on arrival in Zanzibar and it was a perfect introduction to the island. We arrived late on a Saturday night and the staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. The location is perfect, by the beach, with stunning views of the ocean and the villagers' activities. ||It is connected to the fantastic Lost Soles Bar, one of the nicest bars we have ever been to. Very good breakfasts and good food throughout the day. Live music every Tuesday evening from an excellent local band. ||We arrived without our luggage, which had been left in Paris by Air France, so Sagaty, walked with us into the village the next day to help us buy sun tan lotion and other essentials. All of the people working there: Bakari, Michael, Shokolo, Kristina, Francis and the others, were so friendly and helpful.

Wonderful spot, super clean rooms, great restaurant, very attentive staff. The atmosphere is kind and friendly. The team makes every effort to get to know you as guest and to remember your preferences. Food at the restaurant was fantastic. It was a delightful place to stay - hoping to come back and I highly recommend this spot!

Vanessa & Marc have created the most easy going, inviting, beautiful space. You feel the heart, soul & family in the place. The team working at the bar & bungalows are their family- making everything feel authentic, fun, welcoming & bursting with positive energy. ||My 5th time in Zanzibar & I'll never stay somewhere else! I've already rebooked!||The rooms (fans / air conditioned, super clean & serviced twice/day) have great, simple decoration & the beds / mattresses are so comfortable you could easily sleep in & miss the gorgeous sunrise swims - in what is a basically private beach it’s so quiet!||The quality & price of restaurant - comparably to other hotel restaurants /similar plates in Jambiani & Paje doesn't get better... |the tuna tartare, sashimi, beef tataki-everything perfection (ans make sure to ask Pascal for extra "pizza chips" (the best little snack). The breakfast menu has just been upgraded & expanded for even more options (as if the pancakes, eggs & ALL the fruit weren't enough!) ||If you get lucky (& I haven't already booked!) the room above the bar is ace- you can fall asleep & rise with the sounds of the ocean (leave the doors open!) did I mention the beach in front might as well be private? Depending on the season & time of day- waves come up right to where you’re sitting for lunch or lounging on a sunbed ||Overall, there is no better, friendly, attentive and just overall lush & every bit gorgeous place to stay
