A fantastic stay, everything has been perfect and the two owners are so nice and helpful. The Wi-Fi doesn't work very well, but it seems normal in such a "remote" place. For the rest, the place is very nice and clean and the staff is amazing, and the hotel is very close to the best beach in Zanzibar in my opinion. Amazing stay!

A great intro to Zanzibar

We very much enjoyed our 4 night stay at Bahati Villa. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant was excellent and there is easy access to the beach and lounge chairs. Seid is a wonderful host and made us feel so welcome and comfortable; he arranged transportation and tours for us that were all well priced and managed. Both the hotel and restaurant staff were exceptional. The area was nice and quiet, and it was easy to swim because the tide doesn’t go out as far as other areas of the island. Although power outages happen occasionally, our experience wasn’t impacted because the villa is equipped with a generator. We’d highly recommend Bahati Villa to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

Bahati Villa is the BEST

Super nice stay in Bahati Villa, I fell in love with the place and people there. Room was very clean and spacious, and were located nicely in its own peace. A really good wifi also. Super helpful and friendly staff, a big heart to them ❤️ Good breakfast and other foods in the restaurant. Even my friend from another hotel came every night to eat there. I was supposed to be half of my stay in another hotel in Zanzibar, but I couldn't stay away - after one night in another hotel, I came back to Bahati. It's home! There were many little shops on the beach and the village is near, in walking distance, and also easy to go around different places. A really good location. Everything is just super in Bahati, super nzuri!! I would and will come again. I miss it and the people there all ready. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and one extra for Teddy ⭐

Jeg bestilte først 7 dager, men valgte å forlenge oppholdet fordi jeg følte meg trygg og godt ivaretatt av personalet. Jeg vil spesielt takke Shiha som alltid var tilstede og sørget at alt ble ordnet. Hotellet har god mat, god service og veldig hyggelige personale Rommet var rent, komfortabelt og stille, noe som gjorde oppholdet ekstra behagelig. Anbefales varmt.

Lovely place to relax. Beautiful beach. Very friendly persons. Ich kann das Hotel sehr empfehlen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist keins der Hotels mit vielen Menschen und dichtem Gedränge. Sehr schön ruhig und entspannt. Jede Anfrage wurde erfüllt. Der Blick vom Frühstückstisch auf dem Indischen Ozean ist einfach atemberaubend. Wer ein ruhiges Plätzchen sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wer viel erleben will, geht einfach runter zum Strand und biegt rechts oder links ab. Es ist alles vorhanden.

Piccola struttura a fianco del villaggio Bravo, molto pulito e curato, il ristorante bar annesso con la colazione compresa è un plus in più. Possibilità di pranzare o cenare, pesce freschissimo, grigliate miste eccellenti a prezzi abbordabili, personale che parla bene l'italiano e si adopera per risolvere problemi. Sarebbe auspicabile maggiore cura nel dettaglio, magari pulire lo spazio prospiciente la spiaggia, come fanno gli altri vicino.

Ho trascorso con la mia compagna 3 delle 7 notti a Zanzibar presso questa struttura. Siamo stati accolti calorosamente dal proprietario (non da Pina, letta e riletta positivamente in tantissimi commenti prima di prenotare, ma che ha ceduto l’attività). Stanza ampia, pulita, profumata e curata nei dettagli. Posizione ottima con accesso diretto sulla spiaggia. Nota non positiva relativa al ristorante: abbiamo consumato qui il primo pranzo, fidandoci dei “piatti del giorno” suggeriti dal cameriere, buoni ma con prezzi europei (scoperti solo al momento del conto). Non abbiamo più consumato qui. Colazione ottima con ampia scelta sia di dolce che di salato. Nota negativa: il giorno prima della partenza abbiamo richiesto al proprietario se era possibile, data la partenza alle 7 dall’hotel, avere un minimo di colazione anticipata (anche solo un frutto). La risposta è stata negativa in quanto a quell’ora lui non sarebbe stato sveglio, quando invece la mattina seguente, con nostra sorpresa, l’abbiamo incontrato all’ingresso. Struttura ottima ma con qualche attenzione in più da rivedere
