Babu Villas

amazing villa, super helpful staff

all was perfect

What a wonderful 10 day holiday we’ve had here at Babu Villas. We can honestly say it’s been the perfect experience from the start and being collected at the airport by Moody our driver. Leonie and Salus the owners of these wonderful villas introduced themselves when we arrived, giving us some knowledge and guidance and Selina, in her managerial role is an expert in all aspects about Zanzibar. Her knowledge about the Island is incredible and her professionalism is of high standard, especially for one so young, making us feel so welcome and reassured, especially as this was our first time not travelling with a package tour. You are a credit to the team Selina 😄 Selina mentioned that Babu Villas wanted us to have a home from home experience and that is definitely what they’ve given us. Her and the team, from the villa staff, drivers of the private hire cabs, teddys staff(they’re sister location) and nighttime security guards were all so friendly and warm, teaching us Swahili, feeling safe and literally being there for all of our needs at the drop of a hat - whatever we wanted was there via a WhatsApp message. The location has been our little bit of heaven with Jambiani being the place for relaxation and pole pole - taking things slow. The morning sunrise over the sea is probably what I’ll miss the most. Every morning we have had the most incredible views, along with the sound of the sea and the comfiest of beds is heaven, making us feel very lucky. The apartment is clean, spacious and of high quality with Rehema delivering a delicious breakfast daily. The three villas have its own pool which feels well needed after you’ve soaked up the sun, with sun loungers and chairs and tables around for us to enjoy our lunch, or a refreshing beer, usually having it to ourselves, adding to the relaxed ambience and feeling very lucky. We have had the most wonderful time here in Jambiani, at Babu villas and made the best memories we will treasure forever.

Excellent location in (so far) rather quiet and authentic Jambiani, with breathtaking views from the apartment with balcony. Perfect balance of privacy, safety and hospitality. Lovely details throughout, we found our tropical selves when wearing the robes provided. Fantastic staff, special thanks to Selina & Harith who made us feel even more at home. Best possible place for a Zanzibar vacation!

Situated in a lush tropical garden, it’s not surprising that mosquitoes and small ants may pay a visit indoors, dispite the repellents provided. A mosquito net above the bed itself would have been good. A small green gecko appeared by the kitchen window for a while every afternoon, we quickly named it Gordon and wished we could have brought it home!

The amazing sunrises, the beachfront, the cleanliness, the fresh breakfast!

Nothing.

A home far away home in paradise

Everything about the place is on point...I could never go to any other place in jambiani as long as baby villa stands there

nothing to not like

Staff are very friendly and ready to help anytime, the location is very central in the Jambiani village and many shops & restaurants are nearby. Big thanks to Selina, Dora, Bakari, Aisha and everyone for making our stay as smooth as possible.

Electricity went down every day; there’s a backup generator but it doesn’t handle big appliances such as the AC; in total we slept 4 nights out of 7 without AC. Nonetheless, the staff were always there to help us out

Everything, the place is amazing. Beachfront, clean, well built, well maintained. The staff is great!!

What an incredible stay in a tropical paradise! This is easily one of the best places I've ever visited. The villas are exquisitely designed and spacious, and feature modern architecture with an African touch. Every intricate detail is thoughtfully crafted with love and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is equipped with everything that you need and even more. Babu Villas boasts a private pool surrounded by palm trees in a small lush garden, giving the property a sense of exclusivity on one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. The staff took care of every our requests and provided us the best information from Jambiani and Zanzibar. We loved our stay there and were just sad to leave but we will come back!

Beautifully finished villa and grounds. All the amenities to make it a comfortable stay. Wonderful communication with the management and welcome briefing. Big yummy breakfast is delivered to your door each day. Millie's massage was amazing in my own room with the stunning ocean view and breeze. Amazing location in the heart of Jambiani, beach front.

Nothing, everything was amazing.
