    Breakfast was always great and it was served at my room every morning on time. Even though the location is not a beachfront,the beach is only a five minute walk and the location is very secure.we would go for walks to the beach at any time of the night. If you are looking for a pocket friendly and convenient place to stay,this is yourbest bet.

    Breakfasts can be more varied.

    Very helpful staff, they helped us with a taxi from the airport to the hotel, everyday brought tasty breakfast to the our terrace and cleaned our room every day! Also they made tasty pancakes and brought more fruits on the breakfast for my son. Big and clean swimming pool, very close to the beach (just 2 min walking), canopies above the beds and mosquito nets on the windows. Very nice and green territory. We were really enjoying that place!

    The washer wasn’t working, so if that is important for your stay, you should check before you book. But there are plenty of places to dry your clothes if you need to do washing, so it wasn’t a big problem for us.

    it was a little piece of paradise! The pool was a great break from the heat and the day beds were a great place to lounge. The staff were very attentive and the breakfast was great!

    The guy in the reception is quite serious (if you compared him with the extremely friendly Tanzanian style) but he found our reservation and did our check in without problems. It is indeed hard for the taxi drivers to find the place! as it has 2 entrance, so might be that Google maps shows you an unnecessary workaround.

    The ladies that clean the room and serve the breakfast are very nice! The breakfast is OK, nothing special but enough. The hotel is around 2min. walking distance from the beach. We had an issue with the TV that was not working, but after some 'pole, pole' and taking in consideration the African speed time they solved it. AC and fridge in the room. Internet at the room was sometimes not working, so for fast/speed connection, I would recommend to be close to the swimming pool area.

    We liked everything. Maybe for a longer stay (we stayed 8 nights), the breakfast could vary a bit more.

    Baridi Villa is a great place. It is definitely worth the money. Staff are really happy and helpful. You can organise different trips through Baridi. The price for the trips and taxis are slightly more expensive what you can get from the beach but at least you don’t need to stress so much if it works out or not. The pool is perfect for kids. The rooms have smartTV with Netflix (you need your own account though).

    Compared with another 2 accomodation I had at Zanzibar, the breakfast in here was quite poor - one small plate for whole room of pinapel, one omelette, mandazi and chapati for everyone.

    This accomodation is quite far from the beach, but on the other hand there is very nice way. Rooms were very nice and clean. Working air condition and fan, boiling kettle and fridge with freezer in the room. Very kind and helpful staff members. Option on outside bad!

    Water was fluctuating in pressure and in temperature. Direction markings from main road would be useful. Also name of the place on gate.

    Exceptionally clean. Modern and well maintained. Staff was very welcoming. Breakfast was very good, with eggs of your choice, fresh juice. AC was very good, with option to regulate temperature. There was also a ceiling fan. We loved that we could wash our clothes free of charge. Washing machine was modern. We were there for only two nights, but after the first night we were offered room cleaning. Ocean is just few steps away. They have their own private pathway to it.

    The breakfast is monotonous. We spent 5 days here and every breakfast was the same. There is no wi-fi in the room, only at the garden.

    This villa is very clean and comfortable. To be specific, It was the cleanest place we spent in Tanzania during 2 weeks trip (5 hotels on the route). Location is also good, 2 minutest to the beach and 10-15 minutes to the mini market.

    Not a lot of natural light in the room

    The villa is a short walk away from the beach where you will find a lot of bars and restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable, with AC, kettle and fridge. Breakfast was delicious and the staff very helpful. Great place for a short stay!
