Everything was so comfortable. The vibe was really good and it was like being in a really big family. The owner was really welcoming and he was organizing so many things for the group where you could just decide to join or not. The atmosphere was so good and everyone was just really chill. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good time.

New Teddys was a very nice place to stay. As soon as we arrived, we feeled like we have arrived in paradise. The introduction from Leonie was very warm, welcoming and detailed.The staff was very nice and helpful with wishes for activities. The beach and the sea was very clean in this area. If we visit zanzibar again, we will definitively stay again at Teddys.

We stayed in the loft accommodation which has a huge comfy bed and it's very cozy. The accommodation is straight on the beach, the restaurant has a lot of food choices and is always serving food. Breakfast was very good and the coffee amazing. It is an excellent accommodation choice if you want a chilled vibe, being on the beach, for a good price. The staff is wonderful and they always try their best to help out with anything. Definitely recommended!

The Sunny House is very well located, 2 Minutes walking to the beach and 5 minutes from the main road in the village. The room was very comfortable for me and clean; and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. They reacted very fast to all requests and gave many helpful advises. There are many possibilities to oragnize the stay on the island (esepcially if you like to explore it a bit more). I had great time and will come back for sure, when I'm in Sansibar again :) Thank you Sara and Axel, it was a pleasure to know you!

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!
