Babalao Bungalows

Hotel in Nungwi Beach, Nungwi

Babalao Bungalows has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Nungwi. If someone told me they were planning to visit Zanzibar, I would recommend that their first choice be Babalao Bungalows. While booking through Booking.com, I was impressed by the numerous positive reviews and high rating of Babalao Bungalows, and my experience there completely justified the praise. The place is outstanding in every aspect: the accommodation, the location, the pricing, the breakfast, and more. What impressed me the most was Yahya, who assisted me during my stay. With extensive experience as a guide, he flawlessly organized our itinerary, allowing me to truly unwind and make the most of my 5 days in Zanzibar. It felt like more than just staying at a lovely place; it was akin to having hired a professional tour guide. Without a doubt, it ranks among the best places I've ever visited (and I don't use the term "best" lightly).

Mahali Zanzibar

Hotel in Paje Beach, Paje

Featuring a private beach area, a year-round outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi, Mahali Zanzibar is set in Paje, Zanzibar. The hotel features a sun terrace and views of the sea. We loved our stay at Mahali. The setting is absolutely stunning with the beach on your doorstep. Our room was very spacious and bright and the view from our balcony out onto the sea was stunning. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast and lunch food were very good with a great choice. The hotel is in walking distance to all restaurants. The whole place brings an aura of calm which allowed us to have a very relaxing stay.

Samawa Living 5 stars

Hotel in Paje

Set in Paje, 500 metres from Paje Beach, Samawa Living offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Simply put, the easiest 10/10 rating. Can’t recommend this place enough! We spent two weeks at Samawa Living for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely amazing. I have been to hotels all over the world, but Samawa is my favorite hotel experience! Everything was just perfect. Hotel rooms were large, super nice and really well equipped (even yoga mats and beach bag). They also keep them very clean. We really enjoyed chilling on the sunbeds in a quiet pool area, working out in the gym and in yoga classes. As well as the general vibe of the place, which is in large part due to the most friendly and helpful staff I have met! I also have to mention that the a la carte breakfast was a whole other level compared to regular hotel breakfast buffets (freshly made passion fruit juice is the best juice ever!). The food in general was by far the best we had in Zanzibar. Even though we had lunch and dinner other places in Paje and Jambiani, and normally don’t eat much at hotel restaurants, we ended up eating much more at the hotel than we had planned for. Big qudos to the chefs! It is not a large and overcrowded hotel, which allows for a much more pleasant stay than big hotels or resorts. Even though it’s not located on the beach, the beach is just a very short walk (or complimentary buggy ride) away - and we enjoyed the option of hanging out at a place with more peace and quiet than right on the beach itself. While we were there, they put on live music nights, movie nights and helped us with recommendations and bookings for tours and experiences. All in all, if you are going to Zanzibar, do yourself a favor and stay at Samawa! Thank you for so much for making our honeymoon perfect! Asante sana!
