I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hostel! The space is clean, well-maintained, and has a really good vibe. Everyone I met was super friendly, and the owner is both very understanding and extremely responsive. The location is also a big plus you’re less than 5 minutes from the beach! 100% recommend

Nungwis was such a great place to stay. I stayed 3 days and then extended for another 3 days. The location is close to the beach and between the location of two market areas that also have restraunts with great food if you are looking for a bit of a cheaper meal not directly on the beach. I stayed in the dorm which had good size beds that were curtained for privacy and with a/c in the room. The shower was great with good flow and hot water. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and big including omlette chapati fresh juice and fruits, toast with many jams, coffee and tea. There are multiple seating areas which make it nice to chat with others or get time alone. The staff are incredibly friendly and working hard to keep the property clean and to help out in anyway possible- including frequently asking if there's anything needed to let them know. I want to especially thank Mohammed who went out of his way to look for ways to ensure the best experience possible with his great sense of humor and Sarah for the wonderful information about the area.

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’d say that greens is a great option if you want an accommodation in Nungwi that’s budget friendly. It’s close to the center and close enough to the beach. As a female solo traveler I’ve always felt safe in the neighborhood, even at night time. Do not hesitate to chose Green !
