Pros:

When I arrived at Búbaló Bungalow, the entire staff was very kind. In particular, the owner, upon realizing I wasn’t feeling well in my stomach, was extremely attentive. He offered to take me to the hospital if I needed it, gave me advice, and asked the staff to prepare some teas for me. They were always checking on how I was doing. They knew it was something I had eaten outside the place before arriving. The room was very nice, impeccably clean, and the whole team was exceptionally caring. Without a doubt, I recommend it to anyone looking for a place where you are genuinely cared for and given personalized attention.

Like staying with family, in a prime location too!
Pros:

The title of this review says it all. I stayed at the Babalao Bungalows for over 20 days so I got to experience basically every facet of the bungalow meet all the staff and experience the joy of what staying there has to offer. The owners and the staff + the service provided by BB is second to none.
The owners Jason and Max will go out of their way to provide you with the best service that they possibly can or direct you to the agency or tour group that you need. They are both well-immersed in the community and well known and can provide you with information or connect you with a proper agency that can help you with your stay. The staff is always smiling and friendly and the mood at the bungalow is extremely positive.

The location of the bungalow is its next greatest asset. It is located at the best location in Nungwi Beach as it is right between the two main access points to the beach(2 minute walk to 1 and about 3 mins to the other) But yet the bungalow is tucked away in a peaceful setting , and the rooms are far enough from the road and beach that no noise or disruption is heard if rest and relaxation is desired. All of the room are back in the beautiful well manicured garden. The restaurant is outstanding and offers a variety of food and an excellent breakfast and the pool is always clean.
In my opinion, if you are going to stay in Nungwi Beach, there is no reason to stay at any other location except Babalao bungalows.

Cons:

nothing

Место, где чувствуешь себя , будто в гостях у друзей
Pros:

В прошлом году я останавливался в Babalao вместе с друзьями и в этот раз я не сомневался в выборе отеля в Нунгви.
Для меня Babalao место, где чувствую уже себя как в гостях у друзей. Меня вспомнили сотрудники отеля. Было так приятно!
В очередной раз попал на барбекю-вечеринку, которую каждую неделю устраивают в отеле: танцы, песни на суахили, рыба на гриле и любимый Babalao коктейль)
В день выезда мне было разрешено остаться в номере дольше, чем обычно. В ожидании своего трансфера в аэропорт я уснул у бассейна, сотрудники заботливо накрыли меня накидкой. Это так мило.
Рад познакомиться с британцем Джейсоном - управляющим отелем. Удивительный человек с интересной биографией. Кстати, хорошо говорит по-русски. Жму руку, Джейсон и до новой встречи!! Большой привет прекрасным девушкам, их зовут Фатма и Дженнифер. Обнимаю)

Cons:

Нет ни одного замечания!

Pros:

Pobyt w Bambalao był bardzo udany. Pokoje były czyste, a materace wygodne, co zapewniło nam komfortowy wypoczynek. Obiekt położony jest w świetnej lokalizacji – blisko plaży, co było dla nas dużym atutem.

Śniadania były bardzo dobre, a obsługa miła i pomocna. Sam obiekt jest niezwykle zielony i kolorowy, co tworzy przyjemną, wakacyjną atmosferę. Na miejscu znajduje się również basen, z którego chętnie korzystaliśmy.

Zdecydowanie polecamy to miejsce i z przyjemnością tu wrócimy! 😊
