Barabara House is a really nice place where i stayed one night during my zanzibar trip. The communication, check in-out was perfect and everyone made sure I enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was delicious ( a lot of fruits and fresh juice) and also the staff helped me to arrange a tour to Jozania Forest and also helped me out with the transport. The room was very clean , comfy and had everything I needed to be satisfied. The house is near by the beach ( walking distance). I ll definitely be back for another time here and I can highly recommend. Thanks so much Saleh for the time over here .

L’établissement est juste magnifique à proximité de la plage. La personne qui gère l’établissement “Rama” est super gentil est serviable, il m’a aidé à organiser mon blue Safari et à faire le change. Un grand merci au proprio Saleh

Barabara House liegt sehr nah am traumhaft schönen Strand von Jambiani (ca 2 min zu Fuß). Es bietet alles, was man für einen entpannten Urlaub braucht, gut ausgestattetes Schlafzimmer mit integriertem Bad und Wohnzimmer mit TV und Wifi. Besonders schön finde ich den liebevoll angelegten Garten mit seinen vielfältigen Pflanzen, wo man auch bei großer Hitze tagsüber sitzen kann. Der Eigentümer und sein Staff sind außerordentlich freundlich und immer bemüht, alle Wünsche der Gäste schnell umzusetzen. Ich bin bereits dreimal im Barabara House gewesen und kann mich dort immer sehr gut erholen und auftanken. Was auch praktisch ist: Zum legendären Red Monkey Club mit seiner montäglichen Jam-Session sind es nur 3 Minuten zu Fuß!

You will be woken up by cars every day at 6 am, trust me, they beep non stop, all the time. Bed bugs were very bad :/ staff speaks very limiten English, the cheapest, not functioning Internet. Do text the host before you cime to make sure you have a room, lots of overbookings.
The location is very close to the Red Monkey and the beach, the place looks just like in photos, big, clean, really comfortable. Also very easy to find from the main road. Fully equipped kitchen.
