The absolute best place to arrive in Paradise and slow down. The friendliest staff I’ve ever met, best food and the best best vibe. A home away from home. I will definitely come again!!! The rooms are very clean, there are enough spots to enjoy by yourself or mingle with everyone if you prefer. Food is delicious and you are always greeted with a smile. Everyone is eager to help you out, they know the best places to visit and can organize tours as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start my vacation! Asanteni sana.

I stayed here for 2 weeks. I got stuck and loved every second of it. I recommend this place especially for backpackers and solo travelers. It's the perfect enviroment to socialize and meet like-minded people, as they host a lot of events. The fact that it is located right next to the beach makes it even more relaxing. 11/10, would recommend this place to everyone!!

All hostels in Jambiani

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The Hostel has the best vibes if you are travelling as a backpacker. The rooms are comfortable with AC which is the most required thing in Zanzibar. The host is really nice and will help you in all manner possible. The pool is good to chill out in the afternoon and the beach is hardly 2 minutes away.

We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!
