Our stay at Babalao was absolutely perfect. This place is clean, comfortable, quiet and above all SUPER RELAXED. It's a small place where staff is genuinely kind and caring without being fake or trying to sell you something, we could tell they like working there. We loved that there were no strict policies. We could have breakfast whenever we wanted (we are not morning people so this is amazing!), go into the pool late at night and they even let us do a late checkout without any charge. They also informed us of local prices for taxi, fruit, etc so we had a better idea of what a fair price is. There's unlimited tea, coffee and water, and they even let you take towels out to the beach. The beach is super close, just around the corner. Beds are comfy, massage is fantastic and there are also board games and books around for entertainment. Also there is a super friendly dog there that is just as chill as the owner - don't worry, she does not jump on you. There is also a sweet cat that loves cuddles but will leave you alone if you don't want to interact. Both of these animals are clearly pets, they don't live on the streets. For us this was a nice bonus as we love animals, but even if you are nervous, don't let this stop you from staying here. Babalao is very suitable for couples and solo travelers, but can also accommodate families - there even was a small birthday party for one of the guests. 😊

Very nice place. It’s quiet, clean, the beds are huge and comfortable. There is a very nice living room area, hot water shower and a generator when there is power outage which seems to happen quite often in Zanzibar. There is a safe for your valuables, and each door has a lock code to enter. Very close to the beach and restaurants.

Don't think twice and BOOK! Is the 👌 place to stay in Nungwi. The hotel is new, very well made, clean and comfortable- feels like home. The view is incredible and the beach is with white soft sand. The island has a lot of problems with electricity but the hotel has its own generator and there are no blackouts. The owner and the staff are the best, very helpful and really nice. Tasty breakfast, good coffee and tea, delicious fresh and fruits. We travel with our 2 years old daughter and Ahmed, the owner, was a real medical suport for us ( good hospital, medicine, transport and a lot of smiles and hug for her). He is there to help you with everything. They also arrange a big, big surprise for my birthday. I felt like they are my Zanzibar family. There is nothing, but nothing to complain about in this place. All in all a perfect experience!

The entire property is really well laid out, with trees around the pool that give it a really warm and intimate feeling but also provide much-needed shade if you burn easily like I do. The food area and swing seats are inviting and relaxing, so it's a real oasis. The rooms are light and comfortable with good air conditioning. They are also remarkably sound proof, with some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in in Tanzania. The owners and staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, and I love the resident kittens they have taken in. The food was good and breakfast was filling and tasty. It's well located in that the beach and shops are in very easy walking distance, but it isn't impacted by the hustle and bustle or the noise that is common in other venues. A really delightful find, we will certainly be back!

“This apartment is a hidden gem! It was even better than the pictures. Everything was spotless, modern, and well-maintained. The location was perfect—close to public beach and key attractions, but still in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The host was responsive and went out of their way “Staying at this apartment was a dream come true. It had everything I needed and more! The design was modern and elegant, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the whole space felt so welcoming. I especially loved the large windows that let in lots of natural light, and the view on the pool was stunning. The location was unbeatable, making it easy to explore the city.

Service was on top. Victor is a really nice guy. With him we felt like staying in the friend's home. Tasty and healthy breakfast. Location near with supermarket is a good bonus, also the distance to Kendwa and to Nungwi beaches are the same so we could choose everyday.

From the moment I arrived, I immediately felt like home. We enjoyed a really cute & cozy garden, breakfast was delicious, and the hospitality of the staff made me feel even more like I'm home. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. And the location is absolutely unbeatable! The beach is literally around the corner - okay, maybe 5 steps away hihi. If you’re looking for a place in Zanzibar that combines comfort, charm, perfect location, this is YOUR choice. We can’t wait to come back ❤️

Amazing location right by the beach - 10/10. Staff were really helpful and set up a tour for us when we arrived late the previous evening so that was really useful! Gave good restaurant recommendations too. They washed our clothes for us too for a very reasonable price. Good breakfast. Very clean room.
