The room was very close to the airport. The host was amazing. He was always there and offered us anything we wanted. He took us back and forth to the airport even if we were very late. The women who cooked for us made delicious food!
Our flight was rescheduled to the evening and the host offered us a sightseeing through Dar Es Salaam. This day was amazing and we were happy that our flight was delayed đ we recommend this to other who wants to stay at a familiar place where you will be taken care of.

Our short stay was very good.
Most importantly, thanks to Brown, the service all around was perfect.
Also the breakfast was absolutely amazing! For little money (5 dollar p.p.)we had the table full of delicious food!
Thanks again to Brown and his family for the comfortable stay!

The two bedroom apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable.
The breakfast was a wonderful spread of fresh fruits and local delicacies at a very reasonable price.
Airport transfers and city trips are offered at a very reasonable rate by the amiable host Mr. Brown. He went out of his was to help us, taking us to the best place to exchange money and giving us a tour of Dar es Salaam. He also kindly helped out our Uber driver who had car problems.
The location is difficult to locate for some uber drivers. Recommend using pick up and drop off services directly from the host.

Sehr herzlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
Das Abendessen war eines der besten, was wir in Tansania hatten.
Flughafentransfers haben super geklappt, darunter einer mitten in der Nacht.
Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen.
Vielen Dank!
Es war alles in Ordnung.

Very nice place and a great welcome to Tanzania. Brown and Peter picked us up very early at the airport and couldnât have been more welcoming! Lovely relaxed family vibe, great company and delicious and plentiful food. Even went to Sunday music and dance service in the church next door! Highly recommend. Thanks guys!
Nothing! Very nice spacious apartment style place with two large bedrooms, bathroom and comfortable beds. Fans to keep rooms cool and all was spotlessly clean. Balcony to sit out on overlooking courtyard and fun chatting to family and other guests.

Fijn verblijf! De vriendelijke eigenaar heeft ons opgehaald bij de luchthaven en ons de volgende dag naar de haven gebracht. De kamers waren prima, het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid

Brown fait son maximum pour vous ĂȘtre agrĂ©able et vous apporter son aide pour tous vos besoins. L'appartement est dans un quartier calme, mitoyen de sa maison, bien pratique pour toute question ou besoin, et tout proche de l'aĂ©roport idĂ©al pour un premier stop ou avant un dĂ©part tardif. La literie est confortable, propretĂ© impeccable et vous pouvez prendre un dĂźner sur demande (dĂ©licieux et copieux).
Vous serez trĂšs bien accueilli et pourrez profitez du jardin !
Je recommande vivement.

Nous avons choisi cet établissement proche de l'aéroport de Dar Es Salaam. C'était vraiment super. Brown (le patron) est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport à 3h30 du matin, la chambre était trÚs propre, le jardin trÚs joli et le petit déjeuner vraiment somptueux. C'est en fait comme une maison d'hÎtes. Brown est quelqu'un de vraiment trÚs sympathique, qui par la suite nous a aidé pour tout notre séjour en Tanzanie. Il nous a loué sa voiture pour faire ce que nous voulions, c'est à dire aller en voiture à Selous River Park puis de là à Nyamisati prendre le ferry pour Mafia Island. Il est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport au retour de Mafia pour faire un tour de Dar Es Salaam et nous permettre de nous reposer avant notre avion de retour qui était à 4h00 du matin. Bref, je ne saurais trop recommander cet établissement.
Rien.

The host was very hospitable and would go out his way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Beautiful garden where one can chill and enjoy fresh air.
The fans could be replaced by airconditioners if possible

I rarely write reviews - I had to for this property. A wonderful place - incredibly friendly owner, lovely family feel to the place, professional, clean, and amazing food. Immediately made to feel welcome and relaxed - not intrusive, just excellent service and a warm vibe.

I liked everything. Wonderful and helpful host. Great staff. Perfect stay.
The city tour with Mr. Brown was outstanding.
Madame Grace in the kitchen made my meals something to remember.
I would like to stray there again.

The breakfast was amazing, Brown really made an effort from the beginning regarding food for my family and I. We had special requests and he happily accommodated them. Dinner was a surprise each evening of traditional satisfying food.
All the staff were amazing and attentive and the value for money was incredible.
I'm really glad that my first place of stay in Tanzania was a positive experience thanks to Brown.

BabaJ ist eine so kurze wie gute verbale Umsetzung des Unterkunftskonzeptes, um das es dort wirklich geht: Im Zentrum dessen steht Woodie, ein fĂŒlliger, gemĂŒtlicher und humorvoller Self-Made-Gastgeber der angenehmsten Sorte: Hat das Flugzeug in der Nacht 2 Stunden VerspĂ€tung, hakuna matata, kein Problem, er holt dich ab und freut sich wieder einen Gast zu haben. In der Pandemie hat er seinen etwa 30 Fahrminuten vom Flughafen gelegenen Bauernhof mit zwei modernen GĂ€stehĂ€usern erweitert, gut ausgestattet und mit eigens installierter âLightshowâ. Man kann dort ein Abendessen fĂŒr ein paar Dollar haben, das von seiner HaushĂ€lterin zubereitet, mit afrikanischen SpezialitĂ€ten so wenig geizt, dass sich der Tisch darunter biegt. Gegessen wird in deren Wohnzimmer zwischen Fernseher und Aquarium. Warum nicht!
In unmittelbarer Umgebung des Hofes befinden sich 3(!) Moscheen, die bereits frĂŒh um 04:30 je auf individuelle Weise lautstark die Botschaften des Korans verkĂŒnden. Hier helfen nur ein tiefer Schlaf oder Ohrstöpsel (auch gut gehen gackernde HĂŒhner auf dem Fensterbrett!) Ein Kuriosum, dass der Hof von Woodie, besonders fĂŒr Deutsche unvorstellbar, keine postalische Adresse besitzt und eine Fahrt mit dem Taxi zurĂŒck dorthin dann , auch nach telephonischer WegfĂŒhrung durch Woodie, schon mal etwas lĂ€nger dauert. Aber alles hakuna matata, kein Problem!

Die freundliche, sehr unterstĂŒtzte und hilfreiche Art vom Gastgeber. Die Lage ist auch super, wenn man in der NĂ€he vom Flughafen sein will. Die Zimmer sind super ausgestattet, sauber, das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war lecker und der Gastgeber und Team so freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter und wĂŒrden jeder Zeit wieder dort ĂŒbernachten.
Wir haben nicht auszusetzen. Der Gastgeber hat uns zuvorkommend willkommen geheissen und wir haben uns sehr wohlgefĂŒhlt.

Near the airport. Great dinner and breakfast (the best ones in our Tanzania-Zanzibar trip) at a cheap price.
The place is relaxing and beautiful. We slept very good.
Personnel is really nice, we felt safe and welcomed.
I totally recommend it.
Everything ok!

We really enjoyed staying at Baba Jay Family Home. Brown was so hospitable and attentive. The accommodation is very clean, it is sprayed for mosquitoes, and the rooms are very spacious. I would recommend paying for the breakfast there as it is so fresh and high quality, and you get loads! Brown also provided dinner suggestions from deliveries for pizza, local cuisine, or dinner at the accommodation. If we are in Dar Es Salaam, we will book here again.

The breakfast was really good. Hosts were so kind and helpful with everything. They've put everything in place to make you feel at home. It's a shame I couldn't stay longer, but I'd recommend it to anyone!

Baba Jay gave his best, which compensated for much. great place if the airport is your focus. the rooms are pretty good and bed is comfortable. My room had no hot water but was doable. I had missed seeing that when booking. I would go back.
When I stayed it was a bit cold due to the lack of "windows". the entire place was in a remodeling spree so I can't judge too much. A nearby fanatic church leader was loudspeaking at 5:30 to find his congregation and from 7 am onwards it was loud all over.
4.6
Itâs a nice place good for when you need to catch a flight early in the morning or are landing late at night. But what elevates the experience and makes this a 10/10 recommendation is the family that manages this property. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. BabyJay aka Mr. Brown is a gem of an individual who helps you just like you are part of the family. I needed money urgently to pay for a pizza we ordered late at night and he helped me out. Needed a drop off at the airport last minute and he didnât hesitate to do it one bit. Also the breakfast they provide is very tasty and filling, Iâd highly recommend paying a little extra and getting it youâll not regret (kudos to Mrs. Brown for the great breakfast)
No hot water, WiFi connectivity was weak, but these are just minor quibbles nothing that should stop you from renting the place.

Mr. Brown picked us up at the airport. He made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was great. His wife made us pumpkin soup. Thank you very much for staying with you!
The fridge made a noice and we heard songs coming out of the church on Sunday morning.

What makes BabaJay's home is its owner, Brown. He is an exceptional host. Real African hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms very clean and well equipped. Charming garden with swing chair. Right in the heart of village life with churches and mosques all around. Delicious food. And Erick was a wonderful driver who fetched us from the ferry and took us to the train, battling Dar traffic with aplomb! The house is well situated for airport travel as well.
Nothing. This place is charming and welcoming.
