Siamo stati al Bahati villa per 10 giorni. Inutile dire che ci siamo sentiti a casa in tutto e per tutto. Tutti i ragazzi dello staff sempre disponibili e gentili x qualsiasi richiesta. La spiaggia stupenda!! Un grazie particolare alla proprietaria x averci trattato come figli! Grazie ancora a tutti!! Consiglio vivamente questo report!!

Great place if you look for some peace and quiet - the rooms are at the back from the hustle of kiwengwa beach - but you still get a good view from the restaurant and certain angles of upstairs. The staff was friendly albeit limited English and accommodating when I asked for services (which of course I paid for, only fair!). The place was very clean and the food is good. Some power cuts and the re-start had been variable - but in Zanzibar this is not exceptional.

Very remote from STONE TOWN!
Very nice Hotel. No beach view trees are blocking the view. More like beach is in front of the hotel a few steps down the hill. It took me one hour to a from my hotel to all my tours. One bottle of sprite was $2 US. Food was OK. Staff was very helpful. Food was overpriced recommendation. Eat in town if you can but when you basically 1 hour away fro. Any where i guess u have to pay high prices. The Pros: White sand beach. Very nice comfortable bed with mosquito net. The Cons: To much mosquitos for me. To far from all the action. And the bath water was salty and smelt like the Ocean. The Wifi was horrible had to sit close to the kitchen to try and upload pic or message family. And the mosquitos where waiting for me. I asked for bug spray and they couldnt fund it? Oh No back in my room i went. It was ☔ season they are suppose to have a barrel load of spray ava. To their guest. Nice place but not for me.

Piccola struttura a fianco del villaggio Bravo, molto pulito e curato, il ristorante bar annesso con la colazione compresa è un plus in più. Possibilità di pranzare o cenare, pesce freschissimo, grigliate miste eccellenti a prezzi abbordabili, personale che parla bene l'italiano e si adopera per risolvere problemi. Sarebbe auspicabile maggiore cura nel dettaglio, magari pulire lo spazio prospiciente la spiaggia, come fanno gli altri vicino.

A fantastic stay, everything has been perfect and the two owners are so nice and helpful. The Wi-Fi doesn't work very well, but it seems normal in such a "remote" place. For the rest, the place is very nice and clean and the staff is amazing, and the hotel is very close to the best beach in Zanzibar in my opinion. Amazing stay!

Ho trascorso con la mia compagna 3 delle 7 notti a Zanzibar presso questa struttura. Siamo stati accolti calorosamente dal proprietario (non da Pina, letta e riletta positivamente in tantissimi commenti prima di prenotare, ma che ha ceduto l’attività). Stanza ampia, pulita, profumata e curata nei dettagli. Posizione ottima con accesso diretto sulla spiaggia. Nota non positiva relativa al ristorante: abbiamo consumato qui il primo pranzo, fidandoci dei “piatti del giorno” suggeriti dal cameriere, buoni ma con prezzi europei (scoperti solo al momento del conto). Non abbiamo più consumato qui. Colazione ottima con ampia scelta sia di dolce che di salato. Nota negativa: il giorno prima della partenza abbiamo richiesto al proprietario se era possibile, data la partenza alle 7 dall’hotel, avere un minimo di colazione anticipata (anche solo un frutto). La risposta è stata negativa in quanto a quell’ora lui non sarebbe stato sveglio, quando invece la mattina seguente, con nostra sorpresa, l’abbiamo incontrato all’ingresso. Struttura ottima ma con qualche attenzione in più da rivedere
