I really enjoyed my stay at Babalao, the hosts are so welcoming that I felt home right away. Any question I had they would support immediately, and it’s easy to see that they put a lot of effort and love to detail in this place. Big kudos to the chef, the breakfast was always a nice surprise in the morning. the location is ideal, a short distance to the nice beaches, like literally a 2 min. walk. I highly recommend the place, and I’m so looking forward to come back. Big thanks to the hosts and the whole team.

    The location of the accommodation right on the beachfront was phenomenal, with amazing sunrises every morning reminiscent of an English breakfast. The hosts were always quick to respond and help. The room was very clean and tidied up daily. The air conditioning in the room, especially on an island where it gets hot, is fantastic. Soap, shampoo, and towels were always available upon request, which made for a pleasant stay for travelers.

    The property has a really nice pool with jacuzzi and a great restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they provide you everything. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and very clean. You can also enjoy a massage (extra charge) which I definitely recommend. Also they have a brand new beach bar, right on the beach, it is amazing to spend time there sunbathing and enjoying the marvelous sunset. Amazing music with live dj!

    Lovely simple hotel at the amazing location. Right on the lovely Nungwi beach. Everyday you can watch the beautiful sunset and take long walks along the beach. A lots of restaurants and shops at walking distance. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Every morning different fruits. The avocado salad, which was delicious. Also the food you can choose from the sit menu is tasty. During dinner they have tables right on the beach, which is lovely.

    The location is out of this world; it is right on the beach and whether you are sat at the restaurant, the pool or main bar you always have a view on the ocean. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food and drink offers a large variety and the bar staff will make any cocktails on request.

    What's not to like. A lovely introduction by Iman which was a first in Zanzibar. A perfect spot right on the beach, breakfast overlooking the ocean. .. perfect. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. Plenty of loungers cushions and parasols for shade. An added bonus was an off licence just round the corner to purchase a cold beer 🍺 whilst Watching the evening sunset. Lots of restaurants a stone's throw away if you don't eat in the hotel. Although we ate elsewhere the food in the hotel looked yummy....

    Warere Beach Hotel is located right on the beach. Our bungalow was overlooking the water and the pool. Because of that we could hear the ocean at night, which was amazing. The room was very clean and it had everything you need to shower, a safe and coffee maker. The staff is great and the food is very good. You can reach the village center by food or taxi. Walking on the beach to the nearby hotels is highly recommended.
