We spent 3 days here in a lovely ensuite lodge. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom provided all our needs with hot water whenever needed. The view was magnificent with beach access down a small set of stairs. The beach was nice with lots of locals using it and fishing in the shallow waters at low tide. Unfortunately there was lots of plastic rubbish on the beach which needs collecting up! The staff were amazing and responded to any request immediately. They brought us a great breakfast each morning and one night we had dinner there. It was served on our terrace and was the best meal we had eaten in Zanzibar! Well done Jabar Lodge team.

This is a definitely a place for those preferring to be away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of Stone Town. The personal attention of the staff, the help to organize transport and give advice was on hand. I loved the banda/ Reed chalet and had all I needed plus delicious meals. As a solo traveler I felt safe and the staff were superb in this, and all respects. A perfect spot to watch the setting sun

What I liked The most was the kind and warm people that host the hotel. The hospitality, and also the help they bring to you in any need you might have. The food was delicious. Its well located you can get to stone town in 15 minutes by car. If you want to disconnect this is your best opportunity to get lost into the quiet and magic nature.

The staff was outstanding. Friendly, helpful, accommodating and discreet. The breakfast provided was outstanding with fresh fruit, baked goods and more. Sitting on the deck outside of our grass huts, watching the fishermen on the ocean was idyllic. On a three week trip to Tanzania, the best night's sleeps were here...the ocean air, comfortable beds and mosquito nets and the presence of security made for restful nights. A true Tanzanian experience!

The location of Jabar is fabulous. Tucked away off the beaten path with amazing ocean views. Only 4 rental huts on the property so no chance of being overbooked with too many guests. The place was very relaxing. The bed was super comfy. Great wifi. The breakfast was plentiful and superb. We had a plate of fresh fruits each morning with an omelette. We also ordered dinner a couple of nights which was also great. The service we received from Jamal (owner) and his staff, Malek and Fahmy was exceptional. My wife fell ill and Jamal arranged for a doctor to come out to visit on location to provide treatment and medications. They go the extra mile to ensure that you comfortable and have everything you need. Do not hesitate to stay here...you won't regret it! Thank you Jamal, Malek and Fahmy.

The staff were very attentive. Jamal was very helpful before and during our stay. The breakfast was great and very filling. The room/patio had a very nice view of the ocean (although the beach/ocean wasn't in the condition that I would have wanted to swim in - lots of rocks and fishing boats). Although Jabar Lodge didn't have a swimming pool, the location was good as we could walk to other hotels and use their pools for a reasonable fee. Overall it was a very simple, comfortable and relaxing place and met the island experience I wanted to have.

very friendly, caring and attentive staff. Lovely, simple banda’s just perfect for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts. There are only 4 bandas so Jabra Lodge if not busy and crowded. Lovely food, catered to dietary issues. All meals are served outside your Banda. Lovely view out over the ocean. Jamal and his team want you to thoroughly enjoy your stay and will organise tours and trips if you wish, but it’s equally a great place to just relax as long as you don’t want lots of facilities. Not many other places around so dining here or when out for the day is the only option but this wasn’t a problem for me. You may be the only non- Zanzibarian on the beach but it’s fascinating to walk along and see the fishermen go about their work. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe staying here! A great place to just relax and enjoy being in Zanzibar and not in a resort.
