Basic room in lovely location.
The room we had at Kimte Lodge was clean, but basic and quite small. However, the location and beach bar/breakfast area were lovely. We were treated to a visit by Red Colobus monkeys ( a Zanzibar specific species ) at breakfast on our first day.

Tres moyenmais pas cher
Une chaleur torride dans la chambre non climatisé et tres peu aérée. Le menage n'est fait qu'à la demande. La restauration est chere. Il y a bien meilleur ailleurs. Le service n'est pas identique selon le personnel.... et son etat ... Beaucoup de locaux viennent fumer ...et restent au resto; cela ralenti le service et fait beaucoup de bruit d'autant qu'il y a toujours de la musique forte. Coupures d'eaux frequentes et d'electricité. Pas de volets aux fenetres, tout le monde peut voir dans la chambre Nous n'avons pas pu partir car la reservation ne prevoit pas d'annulation mais l'envie etait la ! Dommage car avec un peu de rigeur, ils pourraient faire bien mieux. Si je retourne à Jambani; je n'irai surement pas lç, quitte à payer un peu plus cher

Dear Daniel, we are very sorry you didn't enjoy Kimte Beach Lodge. The lodge is a small and easy place right on the beach, locals come here too to have a drink and a chat with guests and we sometimes have parties and live music. We struggle to do our best to offer a simple but authentic experience to our guests. Probably it wasn't the right place for you and/or you had very different expectations. About our services: we do provide daily room cleaning service, we do have curtains on all the windows, our restaurant prices are on averange for Zanzibar (still much cheaper than in your country, we are pretty sure!) and restaurant service can be slow according to the number of guests, like anywhere else in the world. About water and power cuts: we are on an island in Africa, water shortage and electricity cuts can happen. We do have our own water tank and generator in case of emergency but they can only supply for some time. During your stay there was a big fire in Jambiani, sadly it destroyed several resorts. We are sure you were aware ot if and you could easily understand why there were power cuts and water shortage. It would have happened in your country too! About the heat in your room: normally November is short rain season, but not this year. Climate is changing here too and we experienced an unusual heat wave. We do have ceiling fans in all the rooms and standing fans on requests too.

È un bellissimo lodge con poche camere direttamente sul mare, il cibo è ottimo e tutto molto fresco, lo staff e i proprietari sono davvero fantastici, ti faranno sentire come a casa. Io ci ho lasciato un pezzo di cuore e lo voglio consigliare a tutti. Vi faranno stare benissimo

Kleines Paradies
Die Lage der Lodge ist einfach top. Kaum 10m vom Zimmer zum Strand. Frühstück unter Palmen am Meer, tolles Essen und mega nettes Personal. Jeden Tag frische Früchte zum Frühstück. Wir waren zum Kitesurfen da und konnten direkt vor der Haustür kiten gehen. Die Gezeiten sind sehr extrem, daher muss man bei Ebbe ein gutes Stück raus laufen mit dem Kite. Die Jungs von der kleinen Kiteschule nebenan sind auch super hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ein kleines Paradies weit weg vom Massentourismus.

Três dias em Jambiani
O local é bem limpo. Tem várias facilidades, como a praia e o restaurante próprio. Super indico.
