The Rafiki Hostel is the ideal place for people looking for affordable but well-located accommodation in Stone Town, Zanzibar. A special feature is the small kitchen that you can also use. Although we were just two persons,, we had the entire six-person bedroom for ourselves, which was very pleasant. Thank you so much!

All hostels in Stone Town

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.
