I really liked the courtyard full of greenery, various swings and sofas. The bungalow was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Very quiet. The breakfast was delicious and a little different every day. The location was great - just a 5-minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants right there. And of course the friendly dog Bro.

The hosts, Max and Elena, and all the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the location was great, the food was awesome and the bungalows were spacious and clean. Their friendly dog Bro, also made it feel very homely.

We loved the breakfast of fresh fruit & eggs cooked as requested along with pancakes, samosas, avocado… something different each day. Simplicity done extremely well. Impressed also at being able to cater confidently for serious egg & dairy allergy sufferer too. The location is peaceful just off the beach.

Amazing host and personnel, board games, good food.

Huge awesome breakfast. Friendly and helpful owners and staff. Clean and comfortable room. Very good wi-fi. No long power outages.

Everything was superb! really nice owners and staff. Location is perfect - beach really close, also good restaurants. Room was very clean and nice, AC worked perfectly. Pool area was really nice and chill, opportunity to order food and drinks. Max was also really helpful organizing tours for us with really good prices. Thank you Max for that. I would definitely choose this place again! Highly recommend!

Babalao is situated in the perfect area! Alex and his wife are super nice and helpful in giving us recommendations and made sure that we had an amazing stay! Thank you so much for this wonderful time😊

Tutto! Everything was perfect. I was immediately conquered by the relaxing atmosphere, the kindness and generosity of the owner Max. Then I discovered the beautiful and welcoming room, with all the comforts and attention to detail. The cleaning, the breakfast, the swimming pool, the availability of all the staff are also excellent. In one minute walking I was at the beach! I will miss the Babalao, hope to go back one day.

This place is very new, everything in good conditon. You can find everything you whish for: nice pool with quiet chill out music , clean room with air conditon, fan, moscito net, big bed, nice drinks and the best: breakfast all day long, so no need to put an alarm to avoid missing breakfast. At night it was quiet. Max and his wife are good hosts, providing all the information you need for a good stay in Nungwi. absolutly nothing to complain about even if i really try to find something :)

We loved the whole set up. space around the bungalows is comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was delicious and served all day! Cocktails and food were yummy. Owners Max and his wife are super friendly, very helpful and relaxed. the place is very close to the beach and all amenities.
