Zanzibar Bahari Villas

Absolutely fantastic holiday! The hotel is very nice, located right by the sea almost in the middle of the village of Matemwe. Very nice rooms, including a great outdoor shower! Thorough, careful and perfect cleaning twice a day. The hotel staff was very nice and everyone did everything they could to make us feel at home. I would like to highlight the following fantastic people: Sauli, Rakim, Charles, Atosha, Emmanuel & Rajab!!! The hotel has a very good pool and great sunbeds overlooking the ocean and reef. There is security at night, everything is absolutely safe, tidy and clean! The restaurant always perfectly prepared and ready to fulfill all your wishes. Nicely landscaped garden, air conditioning in the room fully functional, mosquito nets and mosquito sprays as a bonus. Breakfast simple but very delicious! Great coffee and fresh fruits! Free towels at the pool. Thank you for the unforgettable moments, for the beautiful farewell dinner and the endless football games of Aron and Rajab! We miss you!!

Nice hotel for Mnemba Island tour, very close to the Island and the hotel staff was perfect. I had the best massage ever listening to the ocean and in front of the beach. The food is fantastic and they do not serve alcoholic beverage, despite the fact that I drink, I liked the attitude from the hotel to keep their believe above the tourists. Old hotel that need a lot of maintenance and worst beach in the Island, a lot of seahedges.

Beautiful resort right on the beach. Amazing staff, well equipped rooms and accurate service. Spotless clean, we felt at home from day one and the staff made our stay even more enjoyable. We strongly recommend Bahari villas, this accomodation is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Zanzibar. We booked a couple of excursion with mr Ben and everything was perfectly organized.

Bad experience, I Don't know from where to start but, first off all it's over rated in the hotels websites. From the check-in, TV was broken and the fan is not working, water supply stopped for couple of hours. The food is big no, from the staff that should be welcoming and giving you the morning smiles to the tasteless meals. And shortage of items. Only one guy atvthe restaurant is welcoming and happy to help all the time. We ended up having all our meals in another hotel That I will write a review about soon. This hotel has a potential to become one of the best in the area but needs more focus from the top management. Not the acting manager. We have more to tell but better to share that with the owners directly.

One of the nicest places we stayed on Zanzibar — spotlessly clean, rooms done to a very high standard (the newer ones could easily pass for five-star) and a fabulous location right on the beach, with a good sized pool and lovely staff. Rooms are very large and have balconies — incredibly good value. Dinner tip: go onto the beach, turn right and you’ll immediately come upon Pua Mbili — tiny little restaurant with some of the best food you’ll ever eat!

Had a great experience at the hotel, the food was great, the stuff they try to do their best. Small small house keeping issues (such as forgetting to put towels in the rooms) can be worked on, but otherwise quite a good hotel with fair prices. Not forgetting the hotel is right at the beach what better way to spend the holiday than having to look at the beach all day!

Good food ( i only got breakfast) and nice people - super super friendly. I can recommend the place and it is easy to arrange boat trips to mnemba island. Also the view from the poolside is really really stunning

Super amazing stay! We were 5 people sharing one of the Villas and it was so nice. The villa had everything we needed for our short stay. The pool and outside garden area was nice and well cared for. Breakfast was nice with good choices! Would definitely recommend.

Rested at the Hotel Bahari Villa for 2 weeks. The hotel really meets its 3 stars.The check-in was quick, but keep in mind on arrival that all staff speak Swahili and not everyone knows or understands English.At the reception, the administrators speak and understand English well.I'll tell you about the currency, 1 dollar = 2000 Zanzibar shillings, and you can exchange dollars and euros for shillings at the hotel reception.after a long flight we had dinner at the hotel. Personally, we did not like the dinner, the reason is high prices and not tasty, unsalted dishes.We went to the hotel only for breakfast and satisfied with them.So, for breakfast, everyone was served a plate of fruit (banana, a piece of pineapple, orange and papaya, and mango), and natural juices, they are very tasty, although a little diluted.Then they asked who would have tea or coffee with milk, brought a coffee maker and some milk (coffee was delicious). The menu is the same every day, there was a Spanish omlette with vegetables, just an omelet, hard-boiled eggs, and beaten eggs or they are also called a mix. When choosing which eggs to eat, they brought you a salad with mushrooms (very tasty), one pancake, two pieces of toasted toast and, if desired, jam or butter.Breakfast from 7:30 to 10 am.We lived in a bungalow on the 1st floor. Be prepared that the room will not be perfectly clean. The bed was clean but the mosquito nets were in terrible condition, they protected against mosquitoes and gnats but were torn and dirty. The detergents included shampoo, soap and shower gel, but if you brought your own products, be prepared that no one will deliver anything. In 2 weeks, only after the request, we were delivered 2 times soap and shower gel and that's it. And this despite the fact that we left a tip. As for water, we brought 1.5 people a day for 3 people and all, despite the fact that the air temperature was +32 and I wanted to drink constantly. So if you have little water you will need to go to the village and buy water there. They clean the room for 1 hour because everyone is slow and relaxed. Each room has a safe.We still had a fairly spacious terrace. The hotel area is beautiful and well maintained. There is a pool with increasing depth but everyone can swim. To the ocean from the room walk 2 minutes. And now the important information about this hotel that happened to us. The hotel has staff who dig into guests' belongings and steal money. They stole $ 40 from our backpack in our inside pocket. The administrator responded to this situation at the reception simply with the word Sorry. A hotel that wants to have a reputation would offer visitors at least some bonus and here you are just sorry. We will never return to this hotel. And I am writing about this situation because I do not want anyone else to suffer so much. Therefore, whether to go to this hotel or not is up to you.
