We’ve stayed in several hotels and hostels across Zanzibar, and this place truly stands out. The breakfasts are delicious and very generous, everything fresh and nicely prepared. The entire property is spotlessly clean, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you instantly feel comfortable. The staff deserve special praise — extremely friendly, warm, and always helpful. We genuinely felt taken care of throughout our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this place! For this price, there’s absolutely no chance of finding anything better. A perfect spot to stay in Zanzibar!

I had an amazing stay at Barabara! Excellent value for money, comfortable, clean, and perfectly located right on the road and just a short walk to the beach. It has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere that feels like a family with both the hosts and other guests. Definitely coming back again! 😊

We had a double room with kitchen, it was really nice to stay there. The room itself is cosy, but it has everything that is needed, the room service is available daily or on request, also it is possible to ask for loundry service. Internet connection in the room is not always the best, but if you go to restaurant or closer to shared space then it is very good, I worked from there without any problems. Staff is very helpfull, they agreed to store our laggage for couple of days and arranged taxi with discount.

Good comfort and service as per my expectations.

Good location! Good garden view and good Wi-Fi, the rooms smell lovely, spacious and big bed size. Transportation is available, markets and good restaurants available close by. The staff are kind and helpful with anything, good English so no miscommunication. I appreciated having easy and safe access to the beach and enjoyed wind surfing nearby. Thanks a lot!

Super nice location! The rooms are clean, and the host is always attentive. The staff is very supportive when you need support, and the breakfast was excellent. And there are a lot of places to visit nearby. Overall, I would highly recommend it to others, and I definitely be back next time I visit Jambani.
