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.

Situated in Paje, a few steps from Paje Beach, Drifters Zanzibar features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a bar. The hostel has an outdoor swimming pool and luggage storage space and free WiFi throughout the property.

I have been living in Tanzania for over 6 years, and I come to Zanzibar a few times a year. My favorite place in the whole island, especially in Paje, is Drifters. Super fun vibes, great beach, great food, close to everything, and best place to be! If you're traveling alone or with friends, I highly recommend Drifters!

Located in Jambiani, New Teddy's on the Beach features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and free WiFi. The property has a terrace, as well as a bar. The accommodation offers a tour desk, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests.

All units at the hostel come with a seating area. New Teddy's on the Beach provides some rooms with sea views, and all rooms come with a balcony.

Absolutely loved my whole time at New Teddy’s. The location, space and facilities are a dream: right in front of a gorgeous beach, beautiful layout with the swimming pool in the middle, the different lounge options, the sunshine and the breeze, the bar and open living/dinning area. The whole environment really makes it easy to meet people, hangout and overall feel really happy while being there. The food and drinks were incredible, highly reccomend the salads and cocktails (specially during happy hour, when everybody gathers around the bar) and the prices are really reasonable. Finally, the staff team is amazing, super warm and friendly, hardworking, trustworthy, they give the best reccomendations because they genuinely want to share their knowledge and love for this place. Asante Selina, Nuru, Enock, Juma, Amos, Raphael and the whole team, your good vibes make this place really special :)

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.

    I had a bed in the 8-bed dormitory as my base for more than a month. Many nice and friendly people passed during the weeks and most of them followed good hostel practice. The cleaners did a good job. Windows had good mosquito netting but they had to be closed due to AC.

    I liked the location upfront the beach which offers every days an amazing view. The environnement was really nice, it's usually full of young backpackers so really easy to meet new people and hang out with. The housekeepers makes a good job. The host Zuri and Kayse are nice. There is a security guide everynight for our safety. The brothers Abdul and Anu are very nice, also Anu is a taxi driver which offers really good price to go everywhere. I used his services to Jambiani, Nungwi and Stone Town.

    Definitely the best hostel I’ve ever tried. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is really nice, and you can feel safe there. My friend and I booked for 2 nights and decided to extend until the end of our trip in Zanzibar as we enjoyed our stay at YZP. The only one thing you have to be afraid of is to be unable to leave this place !
