Mango Beach House

Through a friend we spent 5 days in the Mango Beach in Jambiani. Our 2 room apartment included a shower and a terrace. Everything was stylish and functional and gave us the feeling of a relaxing stay at warmhearted host Beth and her husband Dullah. The breakfast was amazing, the dinner very delicious and original. Beth organizes everything you can think of by well knowing the whole area and a long experience in gastronomy.

This accommodation was just fabulous. Such a perfect location , our room (Nutmeg) was right on the beach.It was so lovely falling asleep listening to the waves lapping ,and waking up to the beautiful sunrise . And The view from our balcony was just fantastic . There is a restaurant on site ,and bars and restaurants along the beach . Breakfast was delicious, so much choice , ( I particularly enjoyed the local porridge) and the staff were so attentive. You were really made to feel part of the family by everyone . The owners Beth and Dullah were great , so hospitable , always going above and beyond. They have recently taken over The Mango House and made lots of improvements, and their future plans sound so exciting . We had stayed at a few other lovely accommodations around Zanzibar but this was my favourite by far, and I can’t wait to return. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay .

Amazing place right by the beach with real African atmosphere. It was our African home for five days. We wished we could stay longer. Unfortunately, it was full. We stayed in different hotels in Zanzibar , but this one was the most authentic and most we enjoyed. By far the best. We stayed in the room right under the cafe. It was a big room with big bathroom. Very comfortable. Refrigerator was in the veranda kitchen. We spend many relaxed hours in our veranda and took many long walks on the beach. White powdery sands. Kiddo is a very loving guy. Whole place exudes love. You feel peaceful and loving also. He arranged a reading light for our bedtime reading. He is so open to feedbacks. Because he wants to better the place all the time. He lost his German wife Lisa last year. He says, this place was their baby. RIP Lisa. Not only Kiddo,but everybody was so nice and friendly. We enjoyed our delicious breakfasts. Pancakes, Spanish omelette, Fresh juice, fresh fruits and coffee everyday. Dinner also very good in Kiddo's Cafe upstairs with amazing Ocean view. We had dinner every night in a different restaurants in nearby places by the beach. Our favorite was Step In Bar & Restaurant, about 20 minutes away by easy walk on the beach. We also ordered from Pishi Restaurant and Bahari pizza. Both restaurant delivered to our Beach House. Remember to bring your own soap, shampoo etc. But it would be nice, if little soaps were provided specially at the arrival. Right behind tho Mango Beach House, there is Jambiani Village. We walked every day in the village and bought our water. Village people are so poor and sooo friendly with a big flashing smile. I fell in love with them. I would love to come back to this beautiful place and stay longer. Thank you Kiddo.

My friend and I stayed here for three nights after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro as a way to unwind, relax, and treat ourselves. It was absolutely perfect--wonderful room, drinks, and food, and the most intense tides we've ever seen. Kiddo was a wonderful host and great to hang out with, the entire staff was so friendly and laid-back. As soon as we got there we decided to cancel the other hotel we'd booked for the second and third nights and stayed for our whole time on Jambiani Beach!
