The hotel was very nice. There's a really good restaurant just in front. The hotel has a great breakfast. Everything was clean and pretty.

We did several tours through a guy called Mateo and there were several problems due to lack of communication and him not checking his phone. We felt like he was trying to rip us off all the time. He wasn't upfront about how it was unlikely to see dolphins during the dolphin tour. We talked to some locals after the tour that told us it was rare to see some. Mateo told us "it's a game" and that it's common to see some. Which we learned was not true. The hotel is fantastic but I wouldn't recommend booking tours with Mateo.

The property is super eco friendly! They provide reusable water bottles to avoid single use plastics. BRILLIANT!

The electricity being cut off with no communication from the manager as to why or when it would return. Also the cats everywhere. I don’t like cats at all (incredibly allergic) and I especially don’t like them near where food is being prepared and served

They have an outstanding brunch, all the food is high quality, delicious, and prepared with love and dedication. And yes, they have the best coffee on the island! All the people are very nice and smile at you at any time. We really enjoyed our stay there and had a good time! I definitely can recommend the place! And I would go back there for sure.

Just some recommendations for improvement: The bathroom is very fancy but a bit unpractical, I would definitely put a shower curtain to avoid having all the water all over the floor after showering. Furthermore,I would put more towel hangers (not above the toilet) and some shelves to have more space for your stuff. The private beach and sun beds are not directly at the accommodation. You need to walk 10-15 min there. We didn't care so much, as we had a motorbike and we did not go to the beach for sunbathing, but maybe be a bit more precise in the description. We had a cleaning incident the first evening we arrived, which has been dealt with correctly. All in all, it's a very nice place, and I would definitely stay there again!

New, chic & hip eco-boutique hotel. We were among the first guests and some rooms are still being finished. The owner and her team is very pleasant and professional. You also get an amazing breakfast deal from their cafe (a rooftop deck) where you have a very delicious selection of brunch items, fruit smoothies, and amazing coffee (which is very hard to come by in Zanzibar). The rooms are of good size and tastefully decorated with a mix of new and recycled materials. The bed was very comfy and there was an aircon, a desk, and enough place to put all your stuff around. The property is within a 5-minute walk from the main Paje beach and they have a small spot where you can come and stay at the sunbeds for free.

Breakfast was 12/10 Location and facilities were perfect Staff were very friendly and informative. I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely come again! I felt incredibly safe as a solo female traveller

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! First of all it offers a very good value for your money. Everything is brand new and very beautifully designed. The rooms are very clean and spacious.

Nothing!

- The breakfast is amazing and in my opinion the eBay breakfast in Sansibar! You can choose between different options and you are able to order until 3 Pm! Great Idea! - the Rooms are nice and the bad rooms are new and clean - they have sun beds at the beach :)! - the internet connection is fast - you get drinking water for free! No plastic bottles needed :) - everybody is extremely friendly

Peaceful, staff and hosts were so kind and helpful, the food portions are incredible and the menu will make you want to have all your meals there, beautiful rooms with fan and AC, brilliant WiFi, easy indirect access to the beach. Well worth the value

Honestly nothing negative to say

The room is very nice and clean for a good price! The owner put a lot of love into the interior and it just looks amazing:) Furthermore, there is a variety of breakfast options, also including Italian cappuccino:) (very rare in Zanzibar, most of the time, you have to pay extra!) The accommodation is located directly at the main road which gives you a lot of opportunities to eat local food in walking distance.

During our entire trip in Tanzania, we had not experienced such hospitality equal to BaraBara. The staff is absolutely amazing, the breakfast is easily one of the best ever, fantastic coffee, beautiful place with focus on eco, sustainability and recycling. Pure and 100% quality. Don't let yourself be discouraged by the fact that the place is not waterfront. You will not be disappointed.
