The day we arrived we learned that we were the only quests at the hotel in that day so it was really quiet. The manager Sheriff was very friendly and helpful with everything we asked for. The place was just amazing. The food delicious, everything was fresh and so yummy. I need to mention about Omar another manager, it was pleasure to meet you. Also Samwel and Costa and two chef's. There were two turtles in the garden, monkey and a cat which makes our stay even more pleasant Asante Sana to all of you
We also want to say hello and thanks for a few hours of company to a fabulous couple we've met Kris and Magdalena
Sadly we just learned about huge tragedy, the hotel has burned down along with other 3 hotels 😪
We just hope the owner will rebuild this hotel 🙏
Everything was perfect

Taxi driver met us at the airport on time - our name was on a board.
We were upgraded from the 2 bedroom apartment to two separate ground floor rooms.
Rooms were clean, well furnished and provided both bathroom and beach towels.
There was a pleasant sitting area outside and a view to the pool and beach beyond.
The beach was clean and the sea was warm. Husband and sons went out fishing with some locals and the kitchen kindly cooked the fish for dinner that night!
Breakfast was fantastic: a fruit platter, choice of eggs, breads and the staff could not have been more attentive.
Special thanks to Omar in Reception and Constantine and Samuel in the dining area - all great people!
We originally booked a 2 bed apartment as we're a a family of 4. The location of this was not ideal. It was up 3 flights of stairs and was situation in the rafters. There was no ac. This was not made clear when we booked. But Omar changed us to 2 downstairs rooms and we were very happy with this.

Cosy hotel on the beach, nice pool, delicious and filling breakfast. You can stay and relax near the pull or you can enjoy the beach. The good thing is the fence from the beach so annoying sellers cannot reach you :) hotel’s manager was a very nice guy. Once he found out it was our honeymoon he gave us very nice and big room few steps from the pool and the beach.
Beds and pillows weren’t comfortable, but since we were exhausted from the sun across the day we slept well. You need to walk at least 15 minutes to reach Paje or Jimbiani town. However, if you prefer peasfull time this place is perfect.

Sharif welcomed us most hospitable.
The hotel is real value for money.
The room is meticulous. It has an ac and a fan to suit your temperature needs. If wanted the room can be sprayed daily against mosquitoes. The western standard bathroom is neat and clean, toilet great.
Breakfast is served on the first floor with views on the garden and hints of the ocean. Amongst others we spotted a red chested hummingbird.
Walking to Jambiana takes 15’ and Paje 40.’ We went to Paje for some evening entertainment. The walked back nicely took of the edge of all the passion mojito’s and we slept very good.
Thanks Sharif and crew!

I have loved the staff. Everyone was so nice and so understanding with me. As I am vegan and wake up early I was not the “regular guest”. They adapt everything for me. They made my stay so relaxing and peaceful.
The room was super clean. Kobe House has a good energy. It is a quiet place with people so respectful.
Last but not least, I feel so secure there. I was alone and as am I a young women, this point is crucial. Backpackers from all over the world, you should definitely come !
I have love everything

Kobe House is a lovely relaxing small property located on the beach between Paje and Jambiani. This particular stretch of the beach is really long, enabling long walks / runs when the tide is out.
We didn't have dinner at Kobe, however, the breakfasts are fabulous. So filling, lunch was never required for the 3 days we stayed there.
Our little boy loved the family of tortoise that live in the gardens and the pool is an added bonus.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
Not a negative point per say, but whilst they advertise as having a bar, it does not serve alcohol.

During my stay at Kobe House I had a "brother from another mother" :-) CHRISTOPHER is a great service person. Managing everything all around you with his team. Exceptionally friendly and always there when you need him, even at 4am when you come back from a party and everyone is asleep. THX for the great time!
Please note that WIFI seems to be an issue on Zansibar. Better to have an own sim card with you!
Mostly no air condition, but always a fan next to your bed.
