"Hidden gem in Jambiani. The two-bedroom apartment was immaculate, and the location is ideal — quiet, close to the beach, and the pool is stunning at sunset. Best stay in Zanzibar."

"A true hidden gem — we would come back anytime! Barbara is the perfect host. From the very first moment, you feel truly welcome. The property is beautiful, very well maintained, clean and wonderfully peaceful. The location is excellent: right on a stunning beach, much calmer than places like Paje. The breakfast was excellent, fresh, lovingly prepared. A clear top recommendation!"

"We could not have chosen a better place to stay in Zanzibar. The bungalow has big beds with mosquito nets, a spacious bathroom, and a comfortable private outdoor seating area. The pool is amazing. Barbara is the best host — she helped us with everything from organising transport to planning activities. If I ever go back to Zanzibar I'll definitely be looking to stay here."

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Baobab Bungalows. Barbara went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The bungalows are beautifully designed, the pool was fantastic and became our favourite spot. Their hospitality truly made this feel like a home away from home. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!"
