We were there for our honeymoon in 2019, what a divine place it was! Breakfast was divine, the pool sparkling and the staff attentive. The few minor issues we had were attended to immediately. 5 years on after a terrible personal tragedy my husband aurprised me with a return visit. We arrived full of expectations. Our first 'surprise was the reception - we felt the way when you arrive at family that have to put you up for a weekend out of duty, nothing else. The room we stayed in in 2019 looked exactls it did then, but sadly absolutely NO maintenance was done on it since then. The linen was not renewed since then. The sheets are threadbare. The pillows are bags with lumpy stuff in it, selling like wet chicken. The towels are perfect - to remove dead skin cells - and live ones too. They will remove splattered bugs off your car, with the paint as an added bonus. The shower is a dream for a scientist with an interest in mold and algae. The room, and the entire place in fact, is an entomologist's dream! We saw a bigger of insects there than at the area our chickens are kept part of the day. If ever there is a TV show Pool Restorers they will probably fail trying to restore this impossible challenge! However, not all is bad about the place. Hearing our vehicle's doors go "chunk chunk" was extremely satisfying! The trip back was relaxing. We stopped at a small roadside place. We were receives like VIPs. The prego he ate wa perfect, my half chicken as good as it can be. We left with a whole cooked chicken and a few pao. That stop was the best part of our trip!

Every detail has been considered in this architect owned hotel. Beautiful beachside accommodation made using local construction techniques and recycled materials. We felt completely relaxed here. Ajaio spent time with us teaching us the local African board game and let us win, organised a fantastic tour and gave us good recommendations for where to eat local food, as well as trying out food from their own kitchen for free while they were experimenting with their menu.

I chose this "lodge" from the pictures provided, and, NEVER judge a book by its covers. The rooms are minute! Any kind of luggage next to the bed and the room is filled. I visited with 4 couples, two of whom where overrun by ants.My room"garden room" was ok, but right next to a pump of some sort that ran on/off right thru the night. The whole"lodge" feels like suitable for a local housing, but not for overseas visitors. And even a local would keep his house in a better condition. Having said this, the staff was helpful and friendly. The bar was reasonably stocked and the food, even though we had to wait for more than an hour, superb and worth the wait. All in all, I don't know if I would recommend this place, I would think there are nicer places in Vilancoulo for less money

Charmant petit hôtel si vous êtes à Vilankulos, les chambres en hauteur offrent une magnifique vue sur la baie et les pêcheurs. L’accès est direct à la plage, expérience locale garantie. Personnel aux petits soins

El hotel está en un sitio espectacular, con algunas cabañas a pie de playa. Sitio con encanto y con decoración local. Ageu, el manager, y Wilson, parte del staff, se portaron súper bien, incluso llevándonos a recorrer la zona y a cenar con ellos como uno más de su familia. Nosotros fuimos a bucear y el centro de buceo lo teníamos andando a 5min por la playa. El hotel tiene algunas cosas que mejorar, por eso no pongo 5 estrellas, como el servicio de comidas por ejemplo (que haya una u horario cerrado y la posibilidad de tomar algún snack o tomar algo en cualquier momento del día además de bebidas) y arreglar alguna cosa de las habitaciones. Igualmente, sin duda volvería. Vilankulos es una zona preciosa y auténtica, sin apenas turistas. Gracias Ageu y Wilson por todo!

Baraka Beach devait être un merveilleux point de chute pour notre séjour AfSud/Mozambique en famille. Le plus cher aussi : 100 € la nuit. Si le lieu semble sympa (plage, cabanes,..), situé par contre en retrait du centre, pour le reste, cela ressemble plus à un back packers qu’on hôtel. Les chambres sont très sommaires, l’eau de la douche peut s’arrêter de couler à tout moment de la journée. Les services rendus sont de faible qualité : les petits déjeuners (payant en sus : 5€) prennent un temps fou à être servis (30 mn) et il n’est pas possible de disposer de…. thé, élément pourtant le plus élémentaire à disposer. Le personnel propose des repas à prendre chez eux le soir et nous sollicite fortement pour effectuer des sorties payantes (Bazarutos, dunes,…). C’est assez pénible. On sent clairement un manque de manager et de management dans ce lieu « vieillissant ». Une vraie déception dans son rapport qualité/prix. Certainement qu’il existe de meilleurs points de chute à Vilankulo !

We booked Baraka Beach because of the excellent reviews and were really suprised by this place. It's a hostel, not a hotel and it's quite run-down. It has a potential to become a cute little hostel, I agree that it's built in a nice eco style. But now you wouldn't want to swim in the pool, the furniture and pillows by the pool are run-down and dirty, the tablecloth is not beeing cleaned and there are caterpillars all over the place, especially in the shower and at your doorstep to the cabin. There are mainly two young boys working at the reception/bar and they are mostly concerned that the guests must drink rum. They were friendly and welcoming and our grown-up kids played games with them. The breakfast is good, but you will have to wait a loong time to get it. The wi-fi only works at the reception area. The boys at the reception booked us a trip to the Bazaruto, which was a terrible experience with three young boys driving an old boat at full speed with all the passengers screaming. I hope the owners of Baraka, who reportedly live abroad, will put down some money to fix it. I have no confidence in the good reviews. We were looking forward to four relaxing days in Vilanculos and were very disappointed. It feels like being scammed.
