Bahari Dhow Beach Villas receives mixed but generally positive feedback, with guests frequently praising its excellent beachfront location and friendly staff. Reviewers highlight the spaciousness of the villas and the convenience of having three large swimming pools, though many note that pool cleanliness can be inconsistent. The service is often described as professional, with specific mentions of helpful team members, yet some guests experienced issues with double bookings or maintenance. A common theme across reviews is that the facilities are quite old, with reports of rusty fixtures, non-functional electronics, and occasional utility outages. While the restaurant is considered decent, some visitors mentioned concerns regarding plumbing odors and general infrastructure wear. Overall, it is seen as a budget-friendly option where the natural beauty of the beach outweighs the aging interior conditions.
