Amazing stay

This property has a good location, literally 1 min away from the beach. The room was comfortable with good Wi-Fi connection. Besides, the breakfast was fresh and different each day. Big thanks to Sadi, he supported us and helped us whenever we needed. Thank you !

Perfect stay and I’ll definitely come back!

Said makes you feel comfortable at his place and his staff is very helpful and friendly. He also showed me around and he made sure I was feeling safe by the beach. The Driftwood Beach Bar has nice staff and he strongly recommended it for me to spend the day. He also offered excursions and the snorkelling I did together with his colleague Salu was fantastic.

Disappointing

The owner was a nice person and tried to help us with everything. Wifi worked well. It is located near the beach. You can use the swimming pool from a hotel nearby. Breakfast was good too.

Great value for money. The host is very kind and helpful, we could count on him for everything! Simple room, but they do everything to make you feel comfortable. It is warm in the room, but that does not detract from its value. They are planning to renovate a lot of things, I am sure it will be fantastic!

Pleasant accommodation very close to the beach. They have an agreement with a beachside lodge so you can spend time relaxing there also. The staff were helpful.

Very basic, family run guesthouse. You get what you pay for.

It’s very simple, family run. Don’t expect any luxury. We knew it and liked it.

Phenomenal!

Lovely place in Jambiani, 1min from the beach, very clean & spacious rooms with cute decorations. Loved the patio too! Delicious breakfast, with big fruit plate, eggs, coffee and bread. Amazing staff! Said was super helpful and attentive throughout my stay - be it organising taxis, excursions or recommendations for jambiani, he has a solution for everything. Will definitely come back! 10/10

Local and small guesthouse, family-owned, really close to the beach and in a quite place. The owner was always there to help us and to arrange day trips/taxis. Simple but clean and with a good location.

Stone Fish Inn is simple home. Said is a wonderful host that tells you everything you need to have the perfect journey in Jambiani and Zanzibar. We'll never thank him enough for advising us to make the Zanzibar driving (motorbike) permit. Each morning the breakfast was amazing and also the food he provides for dinner (on request) is perfect. Perfect location, perfect management and absolutely perfect Said. Incredible value for money.

Big breakfast, and all the people were so nice and kind. Beautiful position, 2 minutes to the beach, in the village, where you can enjoy and join the local life. So quiet, simple room and bathroom, and it’s possible to have lunch or dinner there. And also book trips around the island, Said would recommend you all the best!
