Everything! The property was in amazing condition—clean, well-maintained, and super comfortable. The environment was just perfect. It felt like a little oasis where you could relax but also meet amazing people and have great conversations. I stayed at this hostel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The people there were incredible—super friendly, and it was so easy to connect with everyone. I ended up making a lot of friends, and the whole place had such a warm and welcoming vibe. Breakfast was fantastic! You start with a plate of fresh fruits, which was such a refreshing way to begin the day. After that, they serve the main meal, which was always delicious. Plus, they had coffee and all sorts of tea options, which I absolutely loved. It really felt like they cared about providing a great start to the day.

The bungalow was perfect for relaxing. The pool is really good, and every evening there’s a friendly volleyball match that guests are invited to join. The location is also ideal, with the beach just a short walk away, perfect for kitesurfing! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for both fun and relaxation.

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!
