Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We walked to the site and there was a women at the entrance of the baths. A student came over and gave us a nice tour. He showed us the different rooms and explained them well (the changing room, waiting room, bathrooms, hot and cool baths, rooftop, and where the fire would be started). It cost $5 each and was worth the visit.

I have been to many buildings influenced by Persian Architects particularly the ones built by Moghuls across India. There are hamams at many places but this is probably the most extensive of such buildings any where. I see some reviewers here from Western nations not very excited with this structure. I can understand their argument because this structure relates to the private life of people of those days and age in a part of the world where the way of living today, as it was two hundred years ago, is completely different from the Western way of life. If you can, try to visit the back side of this structure, you can get to see the behind-the-scenes working of these hamams, including the water storage, heating and its transfer to the hoses inside the hamams.

One website indicated that the entrance fee was only 500 ZSH but when I reached the place the attendant insisted it was 5,000 ZSH - not sure if this was another Zanzibar scam. But I paid it as I was intrigued to see inside this historic building.
Sadly the inside really is just a shell of a building. There are small, ageing notes for certain rooms or alcoves which tell us what their purpose was when the baths were functioning but little else to see. Lighting here is very poor so all you get to look at are dark, dingy stone walls which bear the signs of deterioration.

Don't expect much as you enter this former Persian bath. You can wander around the various rooms and try to imagine what it might have looked like in the past. Worth a visit if you happen to pass it as you explore Stone Town. 1000 TSH entry fee (50 cents USD).

The price of this place is highly negotiable but whatever you pay it's probably too much as there's nothing really to see inside beyond what you can see from the entrance

the entrance fee is small so its worth it if you happen to stumble upon it. The guide doesn't really guide at all. Interesting but it could be more than it is...

Okay. Not the most fun tour I've been on. But worth it if you looking for something to pass time. Have to pay for a ticket at the door. Not that expensive.

We took finding the Persian Baths as a challenge after we had done our walking tour, and a challenge it was! Wandering around Stone Town is lots of fun, and you can't help but get lost. Once we finally found the baths (with some help) we got a great tour from one of the staff there. They are very knowledgeable and explained what all of the different rooms and alcoves were used for, giving us a great idea what it would have looked like at the height of the Sultan's power. Well worth the couple dollar fee!

Ended up here by accident, interesting place to see the baths or the royals of Oman .. the entrance fee includes a guide and is certainly worth the visit

Not easy to find and someone stop us and said he would take us as the person in charge wasn't there. When we got there the person came back and gave us a tour of the inside and room. Not a lot to see but somewhat interesting. After the tour, the man said he was poor and can we give him any money. We weren't impressed with that.
