We really enjoyed staying at BabaJay House. It is close to the airport (15 minutes drive) and airport transfer was easy organized with BabaJay, everything went well. We had to depart at 4:00 in the early morning and Brown drove us himself to the airport. We had great food, dinner and breakfast, in Brown’s private dining room in the house. It was really huge and delicious, just cooked for us and a lot of fresh fruit. we never could eat all of the food. We really loved the family atmosphere and warm welcome, as well that we could stay where local people manage the place. We could also use the garden. Thank you for the great stay in your place, Brown!

The accommodation is exactly as the pictures. The host communicated effectively. She is a very kind lady. My booking was on the same day I arrived and yet the accommodation was ready! You don't see this often these days. The accommodation is in a nice neighborhood with various shops at restaurants. It is not far from the beach. Everywhere was clean and spotless. The WiFi was perfect. I had no issues at all. I hope to stay here again.

    Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

    One of the cheapest hotels in Dar Es Salaam and for that price you get a basic but clean room and bathroom, airconditioning, TV, good wifi, a basic breakfast, a central location and above all I found the staff extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Even the manager came to say hello. Recommended for those on a budget!

    The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
