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!

All you can eat pasta on Wednesdays and goulash on Sundays are amazingly tasty 😋 chill vibe at the place is great and it's easy to meet other travellers. Ping pong table, darts, jenga, uno, guitar and board games are excellent addition to the activities at the hostel.

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.

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.

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!
