“The hotel is not nearly as beautiful as it is in the pictures. I am sure it was amazing 5 years ago but it has fallen into a bad state of disrepair. A colony of bats made a home inside and leave their droppings all over the hallway and in room #4 if you are lucky to get that one. Room #1 smelled of raw sewage. However, the wifi is blazing fast and works all over the property and beach. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I just wish the owners would invest a little in repairs and clean out……
“Thank you Oasis Residence for such a wonderful stay:)
We had an amazing time as a family and would definitely recommend to others!
Also, a very big thank you to all the friendly staff who were ever ready to serve with a smile

“This is the best villa we’ve stayed at. It’s right on Jambiani beach which is a really beautiful and calm beach (compared to Paje and those in the north such as Nungwi and Kendwa). It has only 3 villas with a pool, so there’s privacy and it’s quiet.
We stayed 4 nights at the second floor villa (Bibi Juu) which had a large balcony where we had our breakfast while looking out at the Indian Ocean. Breakfast was provided by the lovely housekeeper, Rehema, and was a huge spread of eggs, fruits,……
“the crew was fabtastic, helpful and accomodating. i was treated like a king.
We always had light and AC , good food and joyful athmosfere.
I dd definetly go there again.”
“Uzuri Villa est une maison rare et extraordinaire sur Jambiani. Beaucoup de charme, l’accueil est fait par la chicissime Elga, une jolie italienne amoureuse de Zanzibar. Les chambres sont spacieuses, la nourriture est simple et délicieuse. Un vrai bonheur! La piscine est aussi fabuleuse à pratiquer lorsque la marée est basse . Et pour finir , le personnel fait tout pour nous combler .
La situation de Uzuri au bord de la plage permet de suivre toutes les activités des pecheurs , ramasseurs……
“I was looking for a chill, boutique style hotel to relax, S&S was a great choice. Great and attentive staff, nice & clean rooms.
The pool is pretty basic. Would be nice if it were bigger. ”
“Nice if you like solitude and being in nature, and don't mind "rustic". Big open air villas surrounded by trees (even a few baobabs), which are frequent by monkeys (including red colobus). Not so nice if you are used to excellence and attention to detail in everything. Resort is in need of TLC at a minimum or renovation at a maximum to make it worth the price. All of the cushions are either worn out or torn with the cotton pocking out or zippers not closing... I would not recommend booking any……
“Beautiful property and the staff went above and beyond for my birthday! They prepared a nice private dinner along with decorations at the dinner and in the room!!
Instead of reheating my left overs from the day before, they brought me a freshly prepared meal. It is the little things and this hotel has surely exceeded my expectations.
I cannot wait to come back and stay”
“From the time I arrived to the hotel both of the front desk people were so nice a male and a female(i am horrible with names unfortunately) I had to wait for my room to check in, which was not an issue. I sat at fhe beach for a while then had lunch. The hotel isa small boutique hotel and i loved the seclusion. Every day wqs beautiful there and my oceanfront room was gorgeous. All the foods and drinks were amazing! 10/10 had the best birthday vacation I've ever had and they made it very special.……
“What a great place to have your holiday. We’re can I start the hotel so beautiful location is perfect is like paradise next to the beach and I know is mark 3 star but I felt like I was 4 star. The place was clean and well maintained everyday house keepers cleaning your room every day. The food is so delicious and not to mention the drinks are top 10. Reasonable price. Now I want to say how great the staff are. From the gardeners and the house keeping and specially the restaurant and bar……
“Hotellet ligger virkelig roligt. Alt er veldesignet og væres værelse var virkelig stort og velindrettet og flot design. Maden er et kapitel for sig selv og det samme gælder personalets venlighed, service og involvering. Det oversteg langt vores forventninger. Gratis bådture med hotellets egen trimaran med lokal besætning.”
“I do NOT recommend that hotel. Old style boxxy hotel from the 1980'. Super small bathroom and shower with a plastic curtain. For the toilet, you litterally stand in the shower : unacceptable. Ok it is clean and there is a small unattractive pool. It is worth no more than 50 €, a sort of ok 2 stars lodge. No Zanzibar dream at all.
Breafast is ok.
Hotel is situated in second line from the beautiful beach. There are much nicer hotels ON the beach.
Without a car, you are trapped in an ugly back……
“Uhuru, the owner of this place, was very welcoming and any request was fulfilled within minutes. Bungalows are very clean, swimming pool as well. Lots and lots of space for chilling and relaxing with the view of the sea. Chefs were creating interesting and tasty dishes from Swahili kitchen. Staff was very friendly as well. This place is great for animal lovers as they have lots of cats, dogs and monkeys. Ahsante Sana!”
