"Wonderful affordable spot with a great beach and friendly staff. "

"We absolutely loved Baraza. First and foremost, every single person working there (and there are so many as it’s well maintained) has a smile, a love of life and can’t help you enough. The resort, beach and spa are beautiful. I didn’t realize it included all meals which were beyond delicious, truly world class. There was local entertainment with dinner each night. There was an interesting class each dayWe had a different massage each day (pricing is treat). We went snorkeling nearby, great trip. Zanzibar is a very poor island, but the people are extremely happy and there is very low crime. Do stone town on the day you are leaving to avoid the round trip. We had personal guided tour of spice market which was great. Ask for Abbas. So glad we stayed at Baraza!"

"A truly magical holiday with great attentive staff, Nitin and his team really looked after us. The resort is set in a very natural surrounding and there is lots of opportunity to catch the wildlife in action (including cheeky monkeys!). Pool was great for long swims, fitness centre was very well equipped. The food was immaculate! Both the lunch and dinner menu amazed us every time we dined. Evening entertainment was very entertaining! I recommend you go for all inclusive, full board or at a minimal half board. "

" This has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in..ever! And I am not a novice traveller, I’ve stayed in lots of luxury hotel chains but the aesthetics, customer service and vibe at this beautiful boutique tops them all. I had a feeling I would enjoy my stay at booking when the manager Madalina messaged me. There was something about her messages that made me feel special and that the hotel wanted to do everything to assure my stay was comfortable. When I arrived I was upgraded to one of their best rooms, overlooking the sea, it the was most beautiful stay. Madalina and the staff made me feel at home. If you wanted to do something the hotel would book for you, ensured you got back safe and you didn’t have to pay a single penny until check out. The food was also amazing, I would say on the slightly pricier side but one of the best things about the breakfast in particular was that there was no end time. SO you could eat when you wanted! I don’t think I experienced a hotel that does this. It just made the whole experience amazing. At the end of my stay the hotel provided a thoughtful gift. It’s a place that I will recommend to my friends and if I were to ever return to Zanzibar it’s the first place on my list to stay again. Other hotels really need to take a leaf out of this places book! Thank you Madalina and team for an amazing stay! "

"I don't normally review hotels unless they're extremely good or extremely bad. This place falls into the first category - absolutely incredible. Amazing staff, beautiful place, great owner, good food. Cannot recommend enough - all the high scoring reviews are completely justified"

"The service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and courteous. We really enjoyed our stay here"

"This is an idyllic, quiet, adults only hotel. The rooms are lovely and modern with air conditioning. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the 4 course a La carte dinner is outstanding with lots of choice and variety. The location is right on the white Sandy beach with lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend. "

"Fruit & spice was like paradise, the staff was excellent , only complaint was the power went out a lot & the running water in our room went out a few times "

"Our stay here was amazing! Beautiful resort and staff. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The buffet style food was fresh and good. The rooms were clean and kept cool. We enjoyed the outdoor shower. Great views for pictures and videos if you’re a content creator or just enjoy doing so. I would definitely recommend this resort. "
