Bahari Beach Bungalows

Bahari feels like home. Simple as that. And I guess this pretty much says everything. Stefania and all the staff are very friendly, warm and welcoming. The location is incredible, right in front of the beach. For those who are looking for something more relaxed and away for the big resorts, this is the place. For now, I’m gonna keep crying ‘cause I’m still missing that jam at breakfast!

We stayed 8 nights at this lovely guesthouse, run by the Italian Stefania and her mother. Everything was well taken care of, clean, comfortable rooms, good showers and beds, and daily fresh towels. Stefania is a dedicated host with deep roots in the local community, and most of the staff are from the nearby village. They made us feel truly at home, which made leaving surprisingly hard. The atmosphere is relaxed and personal, and the food was consistently fresh and tasty.

We can’t think of anything!

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The staff, all from Zanzibar, helped to create the perfect experience, and no request was too big. Stefania and her mother were there every day and made us feel part of the family. We didn't need to leave the hotel, however Stefania gave us tips on where to visit in Zanzibar, and where to avoid. She gave us a map and prepared an itinerary for us. All trips were booked to our room, which made everything super easy and cheaper than the beach boys. We tried eating elsewhere one night, but the food at Bahari was simply the best. The menu is extensive, and it was easy to see why other holiday makers were coming in from the beach. Breakfast each day was a delight, and we were able to skip lunch! Everything is homemade and authentic, and we were even touched and surprised by the takeaway breakfast given to us on our final day as we left at 4.30 am. We will definitely return. You will thank yourself for booking here.

There were zero things we didn't like. Every moment was special.

The property is in a beautiful location, central to all restaurants and not far from the local town. Not to mention it’s on the beach! The bungalows are amazing, every detail is thought about. You don’t have to lift a finger or worry about anything - I organised all my excursions through Stefania. She is extremely welcoming and helpful.

Nothing!

Stefania is a very friendly and sweet host. She advised us on what to do and was very supportive throughout our stay. The whole staff is caring, friendly and professional. The food at the restaurant is delicious (curries, pizza, breakfast with homemade jam and cakes) The position of the hotel is in front of the beach and right in the middle of Jambiani, perfect for walks in both directions on the beach.

Very nice location / structure on the beach Very good good and very warm wellcome/hospitality

NTR all great

The most perfect stay. The word perfection does not even accurately describe how amazing Bahari beach bungalows are. Stephania, the host is the most wonderful lady we have ever met. She is just a real sunshine and a warm hug, if the hug was a person. We had 101 questions which she answered with no problem and we really felt like friends. The room and facilities were perfect, modern, clean and they still kept the authentic Zanzibari feel. The beach is just amazing, turquoise waters and fine white sand, a dream come true. The restaurant is one of the most amazing ones we’ve ever eaten in, not only in Zanzibar. The cooking is authentically Italian and you can just taste the love and dedication. The portions were big and hearty, and the prices were the best we saw around. 11/10. Last but not least, the staff is just what completed the magnificent stay, they are so friendly and we made real friends with them. Kudos to Stephania for creating real magic in Jambiani.

Only that we had to leave :)

Super location, Best Hospitality, Amazing food, Felt like Home away from Home

Nothing

On the beach with clear access to the beach with unrestricted views. Stefania the host welcomes you with a warm smile . Food is the best on the beach and people come from other hotels for the food . The prawns and pizza is to die for . Lots of chairs and seating area.

Nothing to dislike . Everything was perfect .
