I stayed here for almost 2 weeks, i’m not really sure that i can write these guys what they deserve but i will do my best; This is the place to be in zanzibar specially if you are solo traveler, everyone here are so welcoming and trying to serve you whatever you want and even sometimes before you ask! The hostel is approximately 30 second from the beach and close to most of the restaurants and to the main road, i got the 4 beds dorm which was super clean and they clean the room everyday and change the bedsheets too!!, the breakfast from 8 till 10😨 there are 2 options available for free which are, pancakes or eggs. Plus coffee and juice. The facilities are super clean, there are more than 5 toilets and showers so you will nearly never wait for a shower, they have safe box where you can put your passport and valuables in and they really take care of it and even not everyone of the workers can enter the safety box room, there are cctv in the place, from midnight there are security guard which feels safe and a good thing, there are so much space in the hostel to just chill and enjoy, you can buy drinks and food from the bar from 7am till 12am and you can pay the bell last day which is really convenient and they have specials everyday, they can arrange everything for you from airport pick up till kite surfing!, the workers from the owners till the cleaners are always smiling and give the place a really good vibe. Thanks to josep, soliman, dr ali and the comedian alex and all the others to make this stay unforgettable, for sure will come again.

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.

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!
