Even more extraordinary is the way you are welcomed by the owner, Zuzanu, a charming woman who knows how to host. And of course, Baraka, always with a smile on his face and very helpful. The space is in the middle of the village and you can experience tranquillity and security (only guests have access to the space), without losing the charm of living with local life.

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Kichwele Forest Reserve is 42 km from the bed and breakfast and Mangapwani Coral Cave is 47 km away.

The pineapple house was my home far away from home for over a month. The owner is such a nice person who was always ready to help. I felt very comfortable and left with a heavy heart at the end. The breakfast was great, fresh fruit every day, freshly squeezed juice and I even got some special gluten-free breakfast - and that's not so easy on the island. I can warmly recommend the pineapple house as the staff is super friendly, the rooms are nice and it’s close to the beach.

The beautiful place is located in a perfect location - very close to Royal Beach, Masai market and the main road in which you can find shops for everything you need. The host is just an amazing person, a great, warm, and welcoming host. When we arrived, she welcomed us with a post card and flower decorations to celebrate our honeymoon, and also gave us a generous plate of delicious fruits. She took care of every need that we had, on a daily basis. Laundry, kitchen, local recommendations and transfer, places to travel and to buy things like alcohol, SIM card, even Barbershop. They even go to a distant shop to buy a new fan, in addition to the one in the ceiling, because we came in unusually hot weather and I'm very sensitive about hit. Housekeeping, every day, with colorful flowers and cleaning, which was very nice. The rooms are in the middle of a big, colorful and beautiful garden, which also has some nice spots to sit and relax. The whole place is very quiet and safe. No doubt we will come again.

    We enjoyed our stay very much at Babalao, with the help of the owners. Max and Elena are really welcoming and helpful from check-in and beyond. The location is great, 5min walk from the beach and close to the village. Nicely decorated with nice street art. The services are great: free coffee and tea or water refill, beach towels provided on demand, access to board and video games, nice beverages and food... We had the chance to have a music and BBQ night and the mood was laid back and joyful. Great stay, feeling at home.
