I booked these bungalows because of their proximity to the beach and the low price. While those factors are both true, the state of cleanliness here was appalling. The water was not working-- instead, it had leaked brown liquid all over the floor. When we saw the bed, it was completely covered in sawdust. Meanwhile we could hear the termites... more

The restaurant services... more

We booked in advance for a week after reading the reviews here, as we wanted to go for a budget option. The beach and sea itself looked beautiful upon our arrival, however the shortcomings of the place became visible pretty soon. To start off the guy in the reception didn't have change for payment of the room - I acutally... more

I had booked 4 nights with Shehe and fled after 1. To start, we arrived after dark, and after finding the manager/owner, he proceeded to show us the bungalows without turning on any walkway lights. We stumbled over the wooden lounge chairs and uneven stonework, then the first room he showed us had an army of ants running through it.... more

Shehe Bungalows was a lovely experience that beautifully exemplified the heart of African hospitality. The staff was very friendly and catered to my every need. The women that cleaned my room every morning also gave wonderful beach massages and amazing henna painting at a more than affordable price. The tours were led by the employees and made me feel like... more

We stayed for one night at the Shehe bungalows. We had planned for 2 nights, but got out after one night.... Couple of points from our experience: - We were there in mid-march after the high season, which might have influenced our experience. We headed to Nungui straight after where their was plenty of life - We had 1 of... more

Thanks very much for the review. Though We think the review is a bit harsh to us as The above customer visited our place in the heavy rainy season here in Zanzibar ( March- May) like most of the Zanzibar hotel, our hotel do not receive many guests staying with us at that time of the year,The place real look...

We booked a 6 night stay at Shehe after reading a good review online. It was also mentioned in the Rough guide. Sadly this place has gone to the dogs. From the outside the bungalows don't look bad, but the mattresses are damp, the sheets don't fit, and the place was only cleaned once when we asked. The proprieters are... more

Our cleaners sometime has been stopped or beign shouted by clients when they want to do room cleaning every morning,thats why We have decided, We will only do the rooms cleaning when the clients want us to do so,as the cleaners are always arround to do so. Our place is the cheapest that you can find in all Jambiani village...
