Jaribu Beach Hotel

The pool, delicious breakfast, and all other meals were truly wonderful. Rachel, the owner, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly, making everyone feel at home. The staff members—Jackson, Mohamed, and Anthony—were absolutely fantastic, adding to the delightful experience.

The bed was a little firm, but honestly, that doesn't dampen my overall positive feelings about Jaribu Hotel.

We had a fantastic stay, I would go back in a heartbeat! We stayed for about a week while travelling all over the island and Jaribu ended up being one of our favourite spots. You can walk 15 minutes to Jambiani or 25 minutes to Paje (or take a 5 min tuk tuk ride) to walk around town, shop, and try local cuisine. There were people swimming in the sea, but there's many sharp rocks so we stuck to the pool and then took a boat to go snorkelling. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. We watched them make the most delicious fresh fruit juices every morning. The pool overlooks the ocean (absolutely beautiful at sundet) and we had did deep tissue body massages done in our room on one of the days there was bad weather. All in all, it feels very homey and we left feeling like family. Oh, and the lamb curry is to die for!!! We're still dreaming about it. Thank you to the Jaribu team, we can't wait to go back.

The Wi-Fi didn't reach our seaview room. Which is great when you need to switch off and relax, but not so great when you need to answer emails. Other than that, we can't fault Jaribu :)

It was very clean, beautiful inside and outside of the house. The best thing is that it is so close to beach that never ends. Staff were perfect! So friendly, but still professional. They thought us new Swahili game, some words in Swahili language. Best staff we ever met! I have celiac disease and there was nothing inappropriate for me from day one. That is also one very big plus for me!

Everything was perfect!

The property was very clean, had a lovely pool and bar area and was right on the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. the hotel was a 30min to the two closest towns, Paje and jambiani but the walk was nice along the lovely sandy beach and it was easy enough to get a tuk tuk back to the holiday if you didn’t want to walk or if the tide was too high to walk. Both the town offered different feels, jambiani was more relaxed and paje a little more vibrant.

I liked everything about the hotel
