Babalao Bungalow is a hidden GEM 💎 in Nungwi!! Location was everything and more! I had a phenomenal experience from start to finish! Max, the host/owner, went above and beyond...sharing details about restaurants in the area and a thorough description of how to navigate around Nungwi! I'm a solo traveler and I was super super comfortable at Babalao Bungalow! Best of all...I extended my stay and Max was super kind to accommodate me! The staff were very friendly and breakfast was exceptional! I got most of my breakfast packed up to go as most of my days was off site for tours and adventures! Thank you Thank you and Thank you Max and Staff for making this solo trip so memorable 💖 Bonus there is a super cute doggie!

Amazing and relaxing experience at this hotel. Great hospitality and service, by the beachfront away from touristic places and close to local people doing their daily business and local kids playing around. Still in walking distance to other restaurants, markets etc. I highly recommend 😎❤️

The hotel stay was really lovely, the breakfast was nice buffet style with fruit, pancakes and you can have eggs requested.. just no meat in the breakfast but you can eat enough to start the day. Not a complicated place to stay but if you do not have a rented car it is a bit of a walk to the restaurants and beach. The room was super clean and comfortable, I really would recommend this hotel in Nungwi

The hotel is perfect! Would 100% recommend staying here. The rooms and facilities are fantastic - the pool area is brilliant too and has shaded areas. It is in the best location too so you can walk to all the restaurants and bars. It is also about a 2 minute walk to the beach, which is ideal for trips as well. The host is lovely and really looks after you. The breakfast is fantastic - the fruit is so fresh! We also ate lunch here a few times, and the food was fantastic, especially the shrimp/octopus curry.

The facility was in the best location for whole Zanzibar. The tide effect is at minimum at Nungwi which definitely increases the time that you can spend in the water.

Perfect location near the beach but in the village also which gives a nice local flare to the stay. Room was fantastic. Zuzana and Baraka go above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable and all your needs are met. Beds were a little hard but that is just personal preference. Brilliant breakfast with fresh fruit, local breads and Zuzana makes an amazing passionfruit jam that is literally to die for. Close to a local restaurant with delicious food. Honestly would recommend this place to stay in Nungwi 150%
