Located within 200 metres of Stone Town Beach and less than 1 km of Peace Memorial Museum, BABAbora house offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ngambo. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The guest house provides a restaurant serving African cuisine, as well as free WiFi throughout the property.

Deserves a much higher rating on Booking. Lovely and welcoming staff. The owner is very responsive. Location is right in the heart of Stonetown, so it’s easy to walk everywhere, but still quiet. Large rooms and private bathroom was clean with hot water. Excellent value for money. The owner kindly arranged a very early morning taxi and checked if everything was going well. A very caring man. I would definitely stay here again. Google maps has it in the wrong place, so you need to head for the Hindu temple or Secret Garden.

The hotel organises an important range of indoor services such as massages in our spa room, live band swahili dinners happening in the tea house on the roof top and outdoor activities including visits to Stone town and Spice plantations.

I liked the aesthetics and how peaceful it was.

    What a wonderful little place this is to stay, in a quiet safe location. The rooms are spotlessly clean, great Wi-fi and air-conditioning. Breakfast was nice too, but what makes this place special, is the charm, and friendliness of the the host Angel and her colleague. They were always there to help, and Angel helped me with a difficult situation with with another booking.  For the price I think it is great value, and I would not hesitate staying there again. Asante Sana!!

    Spacious and neat apartment with a nice decor located in a quiet area of Stone Town and a few minutes away from the main road, shops and restaurants. The host was very responsive and flexible. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom and toilet. The host helped me discover Stone Town and Zanzibar, which I was visiting for the 1st time and arranged for airport pick-up and drop-off. It is good value for money.

    We stayed twice in this very nice guesthouse in the middle of Stonetown. The rooms and private bathroom are basic, comfortable and clean. You eat your breakfast, that comes with fresh fruit, on the rooftop terrace. The owner is very helpful and tries to do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You also can arrange your tours here, they are of great value. The location is ideal. No cars around, close to the old slave market and the food market. If you visit Stonetown, we can definitely recommend this place!
