Guest Reviews
- Nathalie (10/5): Séjour paisible - Tout, l'emplacement la chambre la vue au bord de l'eau. Endroit calme et reposant.
Nous avons passés un super séjour de 5 nuits. Le personnel sympathique.
Je recommande. Rien.
- Joël 44 (10/5): Un petit paradis face à une mer d'émeraude. - Villa Bahati se situe face à un paysage marin magnifique, vous pourrez observer les cultivatrices d'algues et les pêcheuses de coquillages, avec les pirogues à voiles voguant sur une mer d'émeraude, en un mot: Moment magique.
Nous avons bénéficié d'une chambre (N°1) donnant sur la mer et la piscine, avec un patio extérieur avec son salon et son grand lit pour la sieste. Le personnel est adorable, on remercie Happyness et Edouard sans parler du manager qui nous a laissé la chambre jusqu'à 14h, merci à eux tous. On vous recommande également le restaurant, et plus particulièrement, la dorade coryphène avec sa petite sauce, un délice. Rien
- Kirsten (10/5): - Die Lage, das Personal, das Frühstück: alles war wunderschön!
- Anna (10/5): -
- Saida (5/5): - La recepción fue agradable y de primeras la habitación es bonita. Además si buscas estar desconectado del ruido de Zanzibar este es tu sitio.
El personal bastante atento y agradable Sin embargo una vez instalada la habitación no me pareció cómoda, sin a penas agua caliente y con algún que otro olor no muy agradable.
Me ofrecieron cambiar de habitación lo cual es un buen gesto por parte del hotel.
- Annika (8/5): - Friendly staff though owners a bit reserved, excellent location at the beach just outside the door, small hotel therefore not crowded at the beach breakfast sufficient unless you are into food in which case a broader breakfast buffet would have been nice, price-value balance slightly off compared to other countries (including Western Europe) we have seen (we cannot judge / compare to other local hotels though)
- Fuchs (10/5): Oase am Strand - ich habe die ruhige, entspannte Stimmung wirklich sehr genossen. Der Garten, angrenzend zum Meer, darin gelbe Webervögel, macht es zu einer besonderen Kulisse. mit Liebe fürs Detail in Design und Ausstattung ist Villa Bahati gestaltet. Das Team ist sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und man merkt, dass ihnen das wohlfühlen und Zufriedenheit der Gäste am Herzen liegt. ein sehr schöner Ort mit Charakter und einer besonderen Atmosphäre zum Wohlfühlen. Nichts.
- Mareike (5/5): - Beautiful villa in a great location with amazing food.
The staff (especially Jerry, Happy and Edward) were fantastic and really looked after us. we did not feel welcome at all from the owner.
There were only three rooms occupied (a total of five guests) during our one-week stay, yet the owner did not greet us even once. It felt as though individual guests are not a priority, and that the focus is mainly on yoga groups rather than guests from booking platforms.
Unfortunately, the entire week involved ongoing repairs, with constant hammering and several days of strong paint smell, which made it unbearable to stay in the room at times. The property should have been closed for maintenance or at least informed us beforehand.
Additional issues during our stay:
• AC not working for the first two days
• no drinking water provided in the rooms
• towels only changed every three days, which is unusual for a beach hotel
• airport transfer price was significantly overcharged
- Michal (10/5): Truly superb - - amazing location: strictly beachside, quiet area
- the place: beautiful, swimming pool, sunbeds
- service team is welcoming, attentive & super kind
- delicious breakfast
- very clean, good WiFi, backup power generator
- Jacqueline (10/5): TRAUMHAFT - Total schöne kleine familiäre Anlage. Das Essen wird immer frisch zubereitet und schmeckt fantastisch. In allen Bereichen sehr zu empfehlen!!!.
- Cristina (9/5): Calme, detente et paix - Copieux, avec des produits fais et faits maison.
- Melanie (10/5): -
- Jean-Marc (10/5): - Nous avons passé notre voyage de noces à Villa Bahati Zanzibar et l'accueil que nous avons eu a été exceptionnel. Le personnel est vraiment très attentionné et l'emplacement de l'hôtel est exceptionnel avec vue directement sur la plage. Rien
- Sylvia (9/5): -
- Alshaar (10/5): - المكان خرافي رائع الجمال الموظفون جدا ودودين وخاصة الذين يعملون بالبار الطعام كان لذيذ جدا
انه الجنة لا شيء ممكن الانترنت لم يكن الافضل لكنك لن تحتاجه كثيرا بسبب جمال المناظر
- francois (10/5): A fantastic location to rest in Zanzibar, right on the lagoon - The location is amazing, right on the beach. The food is great. There are many places outside the rooms where you can rest, read, eat, this is very pleasant. Great decoration. The staff is nice and helpful. The village is very quiet. The white sandy beach and the lagoon are fantastic. Nothing really...
- Sietske (8/5): Mini-vakantie in Villa Bahati, direct aan het strand gelegen. - Klein en gezellig, mooi ingericht. Direct aan het strand gelegen.
- Darya (10/5): - Absolutely lovely holiday. The room was very comfortable and spotless clean, yummy food and cocktails 🍹 very attentive and friendly staff. A huge thank you for Timothy for accommodating all our requests!! Will not hesitate to come back. Nothing
- Sylvia (9/5): We had a wonderful and authentic stay at Villa Bahati. The staff were incredibly kind and went out of their way to make - We loved the authentic feel of Villa Bahati, right on the beach with stunning views. The loungers were perfect for leisurely reading and tanning, and the swimming pool was so refreshing after a day in the sun. Altogether, it’s excellent value for money The only small downside was the limited dinner menu, but there are many good restaurants in the area, especially in Paje.
- Tatiana (10/5): Un lugar maravilloso - Servicio, el personal , ubicación, playa y tranquilidad.
- Elisabet (9/5): Ideal per desconnecar. Molt relaxant i ben situat davant del mar. Hi tornaríem. - El lloc és molt tranquil i agradable. Ideal per desconnectar. Molt ben ubicat davant del mar. El personal molt amable. Menjar i còctels boníssims. Res.
- Siphumeze (10/5): -
- manuela (9/5): Très belles vacances à jambiani - Hôtel avec accès direct à la plage, très propre et dans le centre de Jambiani. Personnel très gentille et serviable. Avec des restorantes locaux en tour. Jambiani c'est une ville tipique de pêcheurs avec une très bonne ambiance.
- Mel_Johann (10/5): One of the best beach villas in Zanzibar - Everything!!!!! Absolutely, everything was amazing!!!! Staff were the best. Very attentive to guests' needs. Loved the food and cocktails. Best location! I am traveling through Zanzibar and already missing Bahati Villa, its people, and the amazing beach. Oh, and Jambiani in a whole, awesome stay
- Scott (10/5): Relaxing on the beach in Jambiani - Like many of the previous reviews, we cannot say enough about the staff at this hotel. They were so welcoming and nice, and can tell that they took pride in their work. The food here is incredible, we would of eaten here for every meal but there are nice restaurants close by that were recommended so we ventured out at times. The rooms are very nice, we requested AC and they accommodated us. Be careful that some rooms do not have AC. I wish we stayed here longer. They have issues with plumbing here so they ask not to put toilet paper in the toilets. this is fine but they should have bidets so you dont have to use as much paper. This is my only complaint.
- Drew (9/5): A dream destination, would visit again - Loved the breakfast and location Couldn't fault the place, loved it all
- Pierce (10/5): Exceptional - The staff went over and above to make me comfortable!
- Lyn (10/5): Paradise steeped in local culture! - From start to finish the staff could not do enough for us. Had an amazing time
- Lyn (10/5): Would return in a flash next time in Zanzibar - Child friendly, with very attentive, kind staff
- Stirling (9/5): Was a great place to stay. - The wait staff were amazing. Property is secluded and off the beaten path. Small misunderstanding and upcharge with management which felt like they were more interested in money than guests but it was ultimately resolved satisfactorily. Would highly recommend.
- Nathan (10/5): New spacious apartment. Overlooking the magnificent sea. - I forget the name of the bartender who takes orders for meals but he was exceptionally nice and kind and helpful. The other staff were also very good and helped arrange activities which were amazing. The location is beautiful overlooking the glorious sea and the beach. There are also lots of other restaurants around and it is close to a little village.
The breakfast was delicious and the food on the menu very tasty
The room was so well appointed and everything new and modern and beautiful artwork and spacious
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - The beach was incredible and location super peaceful. The staff were so lovely too. Close to many good restaurants. Really can’t fault it at all. Nothing not to live. The place was exceptional.
- Volker (10/5): Paradise Found: Boutique Bliss at Villa Bahati - Villa Bahati is a hidden gem in Jambiani! This small boutique hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was floored by the breathtaking beauty of the setting. The beach is truly one of the most amazing I've ever seen - pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. Right next to the beach, the hotel boasts a beautiful pool and lush garden, offering a tranquil escape whenever you want a break from the sand.
But what truly sets Villa Bahati apart is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. No request was too big or too small, and they genuinely went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. Thank you Timothy, the always happy Mrs Happy, Edward and Jerry to just name some of the staff.
And speaking of perfect, the food at Villa Bahati is simply excellent. They offer a delicious combination of local specialties and international favorites, all prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients from Chef Adam and his team.
Overall, Villa Bahati is the ideal place for a relaxing and escape. Whether you're seeking sun-soaked days on the beach, refreshing dips in the pool, or simply a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this boutique hotel delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Zanzibar.
Unfortunately, I could only stay one night but I will be back for a week or two stay for sure!
