Jambo Beach Hotel Paje

We spent a few nice days at this hotel, but there are a few things future guests should be aware of: Room: Unfortunately, we were initially given the wrong room upon arrival. It was resolved, but it caused some unnecessary hassle – more attention to detail would be appreciated here. Food & Breakfast: The food was excellent – varied and very tasty! Breakfast was also a highlight, with a wide selection and fresh options. Staff & Service: The staff was consistently friendly and helpful. A big plus is the security personnel who ensure that no beach vendors enter the hotel grounds – this added a sense of safety and comfort. Cleanliness & Towels: Cleanliness was okay overall, though not perfect. The towel exchange didn’t work reliably, which was a bit disappointing. Location: The hotel is located right by the beach, which is a big advantage. However, the sun loungers are placed within the hotel area, not directly on the beach – something to keep in mind. Still, the beach is just a few steps away. Conclusion: Overall, a pleasant stay with great food and friendly staff. If you don’t mind a few organizational hiccups, you’ll likely enjoy your time here.

We recently stayed at a hotel in Paje and overall had a pleasant experience, especially considering the affordable price. The location was definitely one of the highlights — it’s right on the beach, with plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the pool area was a great place to relax, with a good number of sunbeds available throughout the day. We also enjoyed the food at the hotel restaurant, particularly in the evenings. That said, there were a few downsides to our stay. Housekeeping wasn’t always consistent — our room was left unclean at times and we didn’t receive fresh towels, only later finding out we needed to hand our key directly to the cleaner, which wasn’t communicated clearly. Communication overall was a bit of a challenge. For example, we were told initially that there would be no card fee, only to be informed at checkout that a charge would apply. The exchange rate offered for converting dollars to Tanzanian shillings was also the worst we came across during our trip. Breakfast could be improved too — there were quite a few flies on the pastries each morning, which was off-putting. Lastly, there was a lot of construction and building work happening around the property during our stay, which detracted a bit from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. Despite these issues, the hotel offered good value for money, and with a few improvements in communication and cleanliness, it could be a fantastic place to stay in Paje.

Great location and friendly staff The location and hotel facilities were incredible(Beautiful pool and beach). The rooms were also ok. Friday party was very fun. Staff was friendly. The AC was too powerful for the power, so it kept giving error codes and going off. Maintenance checked the current but only turned the AC off and on again. Therefore the error code came back and the AC turned off after 10 minutes. I had to read the manual myself, identify the problem and set the AC on ECO mode to save power. Never had issue with the AC again but it was not as efficient. Some tips for a better stay. 1. Set AC to eco mode (Press GEN Mode). there should be a battery icon under the degree sign on the AC if it is in ECO mode. 2. WiFi was terrible in our room, but it was great at the restaurant and chill area. 3. Would not recommend having kids there on the Fridays, the party was lit.
