Lugar fantástico para passar as suas férias. Passamos três dias aqui e gostamos muito. O serviço está no topo, o café da manhã é realmente especial e os proprietários cuidam muito de você o tempo todo. Os quartos são limpos e com bom aspecto. A piscina está entre as melhores que já vi na Tanzânia. Obrigado pela estadia.

A localização, a simpatia dos funcionários, o conforto dos quartos é um excelente hotel. Embora tenhamos chegado cedo, eles são atenciosos o suficiente para alocar espaço para descansarmos. Gostaríamos também de agradecer a Elena e Ahmet que prepararam um ambiente maravilhoso para o nosso aniversário de casamento.

Uma das melhores experiências que já tive com uma instalação de alojamento. Os proprietários são extremamente bons e vêm ao seu encontro para qualquer coisa. Outros amigos meus não podem dizer o mesmo de algumas estruturas vizinhas. Eles também foram honestos sobre o custo da transferência de táxi e as várias refeições. Altamente recomendado.

Ótimo hotel. Grandes proprietários de hotéis. Apesar de termos chegado cedo no primeiro dia, eles nos deram um quarto para descansar. Eles também ofereceram café da manhã no primeiro dia. Eles fizeram um gesto para nós para o nosso aniversário de casamento e prepararam uma surpresa para o nosso quarto. O hotel é limpo, os refrescos são suficientes, os quartos são bons, o café ao lado da piscina é bom. No geral, todo o ambiente é bom. Há apenas um leve odor dos travesseiros, pode ser devido à umidade, não tenho certeza. Um bom hotel para ficar. Há restaurantes e mercados nas proximidades. Apenas 200m da praia.

gran hotel Grandes dueños de hoteles. A pesar de que llegamos temprano el primer día, nos dieron una habitación para descansar. También ofrecieron desayuno el primer día. Nos hicieron un gesto por nuestro aniversario de bodas y prepararon una sorpresa para nuestra habitación. El hotel está limpio, los refrigerios son suficientes, las habitaciones son agradables, la cafetería junto a la piscina es agradable. En general, todo el ambiente es agradable. Solo hay un ligero olor de las almohadas, puede ser debido a la humedad, no estoy seguro. Un buen hotel para quedarse. Hay restaurantes y mercados cerca. A solo 200m de la playa.

Una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido con un alojamiento. Los propietarios son extremadamente buenos y vienen a conocerte para cualquier cosa. Otros amigos míos no pueden decir lo mismo de algunas estructuras vecinas. También fueron honestos sobre el costo del traslado en taxi y las diversas comidas. Muy recomendable.

La ubicación, la amabilidad del personal, la comodidad de las habitaciones es un hotel excelente. Aunque llegamos temprano, son lo suficientemente atentos como para asignarnos un espacio para descansar. También nos gustaría agradecer a Elena y Ahmet que prepararon un ambiente maravilloso para nuestro aniversario de bodas.

Our holidays have been incredibly amazing thanks to the hosts. I really recommend you this structure because they take care of you. The breakfast is delicious, there is a great variety of fruit and typical dishes. The restaurant is very good, The dishes were extremely better than the other restaurant, indeed we almost had dinner in babalao. The rooms are always clean and the staff is always available for any necessity. If you don’t have beach towel they give them to you. I will definitely come back to babalao, it is the best structure if you want to spend you vacation in zanzibar. 😍😍😍

Great hotel. Great hotel owners. Even though we arrived early on the first day, they gave us a room to rest. They also offered breakfast on the first day. They made a gesture to us for our wedding anniversary and prepared a surprise for our room. The hotel is clean, the refreshments are sufficient, the rooms are nice, the poolside cafe is nice. Overall the whole ambiance is nice. There is only a slight odor from the pillows, it may be due to humidity, I'm not sure. A good hotel to stay. There are restaurants and markets nearby. Only 200m to the beach.

Lindo lugar hospedado por um casal fantástico Max e Elena apoiados por uma equipe eficiente e agradável. Os grandes quartos agradáveis, serviços de quarto e os arredores de jardins encantadores dentro do complexo são fantásticos e, como muitos comentários que li, é uma sensação e prazer de lar doce lar. Os amantes da praia não ficariam desapontados, pois a praia fica a 2 minutos a pé. Ele parece ocupar o centro da atração e todos os convidados o admiram. Eu recomendo fortemente Babalao para quem viaja para Nungwi, valerá a pena cada centavo gasto. ""Estará de volta"" como Arnold Schwarzenegger gosta de dizer.

Hermoso lugar organizado por una pareja fantástica Max y Elena respaldados por un equipo eficiente y agradable. Las habitaciones grandes y agradables, los servicios de habitaciones y los alrededores de los hermosos jardines dentro del complejo son fantásticos y, como he leído en muchas reseñas, es un sentimiento y disfrute de hogar dulce hogar. Los amantes de la playa no se sentirían decepcionados, ya que la playa está a 2 minutos a pie. No estaría bien de mi parte no mencionar a su hermano, su encantador y amigable perro. Parece tomar el centro de atracción y todos los invitados lo admiran. Recomiendo encarecidamente Babalao a cualquiera que viaje a Nungwi, valdrá la pena cada centavo gastado. ""Volveré"" como le gusta decir a Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Babalao was our second hotel in Nungwi. I can highly recommend staying there. It is nearby to our favorite beach section.Our arrival was early in the morning at 8am. Check-In time is at 2pm. The owner allowed us to store our bags at the reception and so we were able to do a trip until official check in time without the heavy baggage. Thank you very much for that!At check-in you receive wifi password and very helpful information via whatsapp (recommended restaurants, taxi prices, market fruit prices etc). Exceptional service!The deluxe double room is very nice and very spacious. The rooms are very clean. Aircon and Wifi were working very fine. There is a lot of storage space for our baggage. What I love about this room is the fact that it has a hairdryer (installed on the wall), fridge and they even provide shampoo, shower gel and body lotion. This is exceptional for this price range. I haven't seen this in other hotels within the same price range or even higher.The hotel facility is beautiful with a lot of plats and has a layed back vibe. There are several hanging benches were you can chill. Really enjoyable.The breakfast is standard with a fruit plate, toast, selection of eggs as well as coffee and tea. You can take your breakfast at any time of the day. Very great flexibility!The only thing I disliked about the place was the menu they offer. We ordered a beef burger (16000 Schilling) and the beef patty on that burger was the smallest I have ever seen. It was rediculously small. Very disappointing. I'm not sure if it is always that small. If you don't have enough beef left for a burger, then please don't sell it.

This hotel is a real treasure! You won't find other place like this in Zanzibar, and I will tell you why.The First reason to stay in Babalao is the owners Lena & Max. You won't find other hosts like them, just because they are In love with this place and will give you all useful information about it, something that other owners or receptionist won't tell you when you arrive at their places. We visited also other hotels but none of them were that special and easily touching your heart.When we arrived at Babalao, Lena gave us very good tips about Nungwi, such as: good local restaurants and places to visit, ocean level schedule, people who to contact for activities, where to find ATM and etc. She also helped us with the transfer from the airport and this is how we met the most important person for us - the driver Yaha. He arranged for us not only the transfer, but also the trips to all amazing places of Zanzibar, which everyone should visit.Together with Lena and Yaha we managed to do a small donation for the local community. Thanks to them we saw the real Zanzibar! In Europe, Zanzibar is mostly famous with the wite sandy beaches and amazing clean water, but nobody speaks about the people living there. The negative part of our experience was the closed resorts and complexes, owned by Europeans, who have really made a small paradise for the tourists, which is far far away from the reality outside. Literally, once you go outside the hotel you are in different world and the contrast is brutal and no one prepare you for this.What we appreciate the most with our stay in Babalao is that we received a real information about the place, the people and their culture, and finally we met two very very hearty people! I must say that they really have sense of how to drive a hotel differently. They treat their guests like they are the only one! Your health and well being is really their priority. They're approachable and always available! The rooms are very clean, the beds are very comfortable, the atmosphere is very chill and you can spend you spear time with others guests on the shared area, or play board game, read book, play with the lovely dog and cat 😊 oh, almost forgot the special guest for breakfast - a monkey 😁She/he/ it has quite picky taste, especially for bananas, but its just its nature. It is very very cute and its presence makes the place even more special and different😊We saw comments from some people about the breakfast that it wasn't what they expected. Trust me, the food is enough and you have everything needed to start the day. Don't forget that many poeple don't have their daily meal!Zanzibar gave us the best lesson in life = how to appreciate very very small things in life. If you are open minded person, Babalao bungalows is the right place for you! And please don't forget to ask about advice how to support the local people! Here are some recommendations:1. You don't need your fancy clothes here. Don't even take too much with you unless if you are not going to safari. Please before you travel, consider some clothes that you don't need and would like to donate. People in Zanzibar will highly appreciate your gift!2. Before You travel you can ask your friends, family and colleagues if they would like also to support the local community. It is Important to give personaly your donation directly to the school, villages, orphanage and etc. You better ask Yaha or Lena and Max to advise you in this initiative.3. If you have already booked some expensive and fancy hotel, please don't forget to try the local flavor. Don't stay only in the closed complex. Do activities, walk around, be aware. Not all Beach boys are phantoms, but still don't trust everyone ;) Better check with other people. Remember that the local people are very very friendly!We will definitely come back in Zanzibar and next time we will know where is the best place to stay-Lena & Max and their lovely staff!! Thank you so much guys for just being what you are!!

Beautiful place hosted by a fantastic couple Max and Elena backed by an efficient and pleasant team. The big nice rooms, room services and the surroundings of lovely gardens within the compound are all fantastic and as many reviews I have read, it is home sweet home feeling and enjoyment. Beach lovers would not be disappointed as the beach ia a 2 mins walk.It would be amiss on my part not to mention bro their lovely and friendly dog. He seems to take the centre of attraction and all guests admire him. I would strongly recommend Babalao to anyone who travels to Nungwi, it will be worth every penny spent. ""Will be back "" as Arnold Schwarzenegger likes to say.

Excelente estadia no Babalao Bungalows, Max, o proprietário nos deu uma recepção muito calorosa no primeiro dia, eles vieram nos verificar de vez em quando, isso para mim é importante. Os quartos são bons e confortáveis, a comida é ótima (menu curto para quem pode decidir 😅) a localização é muito perto da praia e tem sua própria piscina.Voltaremos a ficar com certeza 🙏

Alojamento bonito e novo com piscina própria e restaurante recomendável. Os quartos são limpos diariamente, são limpos e a equipe é simpática e atenciosa. Os proprietários são muito prestativos e fazem um esforço para cuidar dos hóspedes. Uma grande vantagem para nós, mergulhadores, é que o café da manhã variado pode ser pedido ao longo do dia. Também há café e chá gratuitos durante todo o dia e recarga de água gratuita. Obrigado pelos belos dias em Nungwi, adoraríamos voltar ao Babalao!

Lugar lindo, principalmente a área comum tem uma decoração muito bacana e é muito convidativa para relaxar. Os quartos são simples com móveis de madeira, os aparelhos são novos e são confortáveis e limpos. A equipe é extremamente simpática, educada e prestativa. Os proprietários são um casal russo e pessoas muito gentis, calorosas e acolhedoras. Como o hotel é administrado por europeus, acho que é melhor administrado do que um hotel africano médio. Há um cachorro fofo e um gato também, que eu gostei 😊 o café da manhã é bom e varia um pouco todos os dias com omelete, frutas frescas, iogurte, queijo, abacate, etc. restaurante no final do dia, a comida também é boa (e segura). O hotel também oferece água gratuita para encher sua garrafa sempre que quiser. Fica perto da praia e tudo que você precisa está por perto, médico, algumas lojas, restaurantes, táxi, etc. Recomendo o local totalmente!

Bonito y nuevo alojamiento con piscina propia y restaurante recomendable. Las habitaciones se limpian a diario, están impecablemente limpias y el personal es amable y atento. Los propietarios son muy serviciales y se esfuerzan por cuidar a los huéspedes. Una gran ventaja para nosotros como buceadores es que se puede pedir un desayuno variado durante todo el día. También hay café y té gratis todo el día y recarga de agua gratis. Gracias por los hermosos días en Nungwi, ¡nos encantaría volver a Babalao!

Excelente estadía en Babalao Bungalows, Max, el dueño nos dio una cálida bienvenida el primer día, vinieron a vernos de vez en cuando, eso para mí es importante. Las habitaciones son buenas y cómodas, la comida es excelente (menú corto para los que pueden decidir) la ubicación está muy cerca de la playa y tiene su propia piscina.Nos quedaremos de nuevo, eso es seguro 🙏

Hermoso lugar, especialmente el área común tiene una decoración muy agradable y invita a relajarse. Las habitaciones son sencillas con muebles de madera, los electrodomésticos son nuevos y es cómodo y limpio. El personal es extremadamente amable, educado y servicial. Los propietarios son una pareja rusa y son personas muy amables, cálidas y acogedoras. Dado que el hotel está dirigido por europeos, creo que está mejor administrado que un hotel africano promedio. También hay un lindo perro y un gato, que disfruté 😊 el desayuno es bueno y cambia un poco todos los días con un poco de tortilla, frutas frescas, yogur, queso, aguacate, etc. También existe la posibilidad de comer en un restaurante más tarde en el día, la comida también es buena (y segura). El hotel también te da agua gratis para llenar tu botella cuando quieras. Está cerca de la playa y todo lo que necesitas está cerca, médico, algunas tiendas, restaurantes, taxi, etc. ¡Recomiendo el lugar totalmente!

Beautiful place, especially the common area has a very nice decor and is very inviting to relax. The rooms are simple with wooden furniture, the appliances are new and it's comfortable and clean. The staff is extremely friendly, polite and helpful. The owners are a Russian couple and very kind, warm, welcoming people. Since the hotel is run by Europeans, I think it's better managed than an average African hotel. There is a cute dog and a cat, too, which I enjoyed 😊 breakfast is nice and changing up a bit every day with some omelette, fresh fruits, yoghurt, cheese, avocado, etc. There is also a possibility to eat food at a restaurant later in the day, the food is also good (and safe). The hotel also gives you free water fill up to your bottle anytime you want. It is close to the beach and everything you need is close by, doctor, some shops, restaurants, taxi, etc. I recommend the place fully!

Excellent stay in Babalao Bungalows, Max, the owner gave us a really warming welcome the first day, they came to check on us every now and then, that for me is important. The rooms are good and comfortable, the food is great (short menu for the ones that can decide 😅) location is really near to the beach and it has its own pool.
We will stay again that’s for sure 🙏
