We have just returned from a wonderfully peaceful few days staying in the gorgeous little house on stilts which is possibly the most charming of the Bahari View Lodges. It is beautifully decorated with a healthy sized bed and bathroom and sits just back from the sea and the high tide mark. There is a large hammock nearby and a... More

This was really a pleasant place; beautiful beach, beautiful rooms. And the staff was really great. It's hot on Zanzibar, so thankfully they had both ceiling and floor fans. I'd definitely stay here again!

we stayed with my parents for 6 days in November at Bahari and what can I say... absolutely great!! rooms are spacious and really nice decorated. the food is excellent, even if you stay longer than 3 nights and the menu comes up again, only the breakfast becomes a little bit boring after 5 days, but anyway, i liked it!!!...

My husband and I stayed in the charming thatched stilted "honeymoon" banda for 5 nights in July 2012.

On a spectacular soft white beach but also tucked away with palms and trees and flowers for shade and to escape the strong... More

Didn't stay but had a beer or two most nights of our stay, and had a meal a few times. One word excellent. Food great (especially the veg samosas) and service was some of the best we had. Truly good

We stayed 6 nights at the Bahari view during our two week tour of Zanzibar, and it was certainly the highlight of our stay. I have never had such friendly service, and so attentive as well. The decor of the rooms was beautiful, I'm never slept in such an ornate bed before! The locals who worked there were quite friendly... More

My husband and I spent 4 glorious days at Bahari View. The Lodge is small which makes it perfect for meeting other guests - the rooms are large - don't worry about the lack of AC - not needed - a lovely breeze and your fan makes sleeping a dream!!! The staff are lovely, great service and always a smile.... More

I spent 2 nights in a banda on the beach at this hotel. There are conventional rooms too but the unusual nature our room added something. It was basically a thatch roof plonked on the beach about 15m from the high water line, with a sand floor, some basic furniture and a double bed. No en-suite but the nearby toilet... More

We spent 2 nights of our 2 week stay on Zanzibar at Bahari View and had an amazing time. We stayed in a little single room makuti banda right on the beach which was very unusual and really cool. The sound of the sea and wind in the palm trees were the only noises at night. There was a hammock... More
