Es un lugar con mucho encanto y mucho potencial. No obstante, sólo tienen cuidado el restaurante y su zona común. El resto, estaba muy descuidado y en malas condiciones. La habitación era muy simple y estaba muy descuidada. La cocina, estaba muy sucia siempre y la tenían abandonada, siendo muy desagradable cocinar en ella.

It is a place with a lot of charm and a lot of potential. however, they only take care of the restaurant and its common area. the rest, was very neglected and in bad condition. the room was very simple and was very neglected. the kitchen, was very dirty and they always had it abandoned, being very unpleasant to cook in it.

Not sure why this place has such positive reviews. The dorms and the shared kitchen were pretty gross. -Gecko poop on the dorm beds -The shared kitchen was disgusting. I opened the fridge, which wasn’t even plugged in, and gagged. Rat poop in the cupboards. -The property is not well-lit/very dim -can’t sit up in the bottom dorm bunks -no hot water in the showers for 2 days -there’s 8 people working near the bar at any time but only 1 of them can answer questions -overcharged me for foo...

I was alone in a 4 bed dorm. The manager said to give her my key when I went out because they did not have a spare. I locked my purse in my kitchen locker when I left & gave them the room key. I locked my room to go take a shower and someone stole all my money (more than $100) and left a 500mt note(about $7.80). The morning I left I locked my door again to shower & they came back & took that last bill. I emailed the manager about it but got no reply. An employee must have had a spare key.

Emplacement parfait! En revanche les douches communes sont en très mauvais état (porte cassée, pas d’eau à plusieurs reprises dans la journée, eau chaude aléatoire, pas de lumière etc…) Il faut marcher dans le sable entre les douches et les huttes donc difficile de garder la chambre propre. PS : Le restaurant chez Zita juste à côté est meilleur et moins cher que celui de l’hôtel !

Tradotto in inglese

Perfect location! by contrast the common showers are in very bad condition (door broken, no water several times a day, random hot water, no light etc...) you have to walk in the sand between the showers and the huts so it is difficult to keep the room clean. PS The restaurant at Zita's right next door is better and cheaper than the one at the hotel ! :

Great beachfront location and it’s only about 15-20 minutes by foot to the center of town. The staff here are the nicest people I’ve met during my travels. Very friendly and helpful, made me feel so welcome from day 1. Have to say though that the shared facilities have not been well maintained and are in serious need of fixing. Lots of broken toilets and showers, shower areas get flooded, in the dorm room mosquito nets have huge holes… may be better staying elsewhere if you could afford to...

Das Hostel ist direkt am Strand gelegen was sehr schön ist. Es ist sehr Teuer für das was man bekommt über 35€ für ein Rundhütte mit geteiltem Dusche/WC.

Tradotto in inglese

The hostel is located directly on the beach which is very beautiful. It is very expensive for what you get over 35€ for a roundhouse with shared shower/WC. It is very unseemly from the reception and unfortunately I have to say that money was stolen from me despite the locked door. The manager has responded to this super and very professionally and has helped me further. She has made sure that the further stay was good for it. The Vilanculos are very expensive and there is not much to lose.

Struttura ben posizionata, praticamente sulla spiaggia. Purtroppo la camera con bagno in comune ha spazi strettissimi, poca possibilità di appoggiare cose e non molto pulita. I bagni in comune sono vecchi e deteriorati, la doccia non sempre è calda e il getto è scarso. Inoltre alle 8 del mattino ci sono operai che fanno lavori nella struttura.

The common bathrooms are old and deteriorated, the shower is not always hot and the ghetto is scarce. in addition at 8 am there are workers doing work in the structure. with greater care of details, the structure could be better. instead of building new bungalows, maybe it would be better to improve the existing ones.

Rebecca est très gentille et toujours prête à aider. Le personnel est adorable et le lieux est splendide, devant une belle plage d'où partent des bateaux pour faire des excursions sur les iles. Attention à nettoyer mieux la piscine, elle ne donnait pas envie de se baigner. ( eau trouble et sable au fond)

Rebecca is very kind and always ready to help. the staff is adorable and the location is splendid, in front of a beautiful beach from where boats leave to go on excursions to the islands. be careful to clean the pool better, she didn't want to swim. (troubled water and sand at the bottom)

Baobab is situated right on the beach and makes you feel like you're in paradise. The staff is super helpful no matter which issue. The kitchen is not well equipped with plates but offers lots of space for cooking. Had a good time and appreciated the hard mattresses!

I found the place because a review at another lodge, said they had wished they stayed here. Absolutely the best. Close to the city center, great communal places, gorgeous rooms and cooking facilities. Did I mention the beach is at your feet and waking up for sunrises is as easy as opening your eyes.

I recommend going here, I didn’t want to leave this place and stayed for some weeks. The view is amazing and there are a lot of nice spots to sit and to relax. I enjoyed going for swims, relaxing and meeting other people. They have a really spacious and good kitchen to use. They also have a restaurant and bar. The staff is really nice and helpful.

We went though a severe tropical storm. Staff was very kind, friendly, available and helpful. We stayed four nights. We totally recomend Baobad. Rebecca, the host, is very kind and available. Food is very tasteful. Congrats to the chef. Have options and all are very good. Prices were very reasonable and the environment is very friendly.
