All hostels in Jambiani
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location directly at the beach. Nice beach, nice swimming pool. Good restaurant in the hotel and great cheap african restaurants very close behind the hotel. Very clean eberything, and friendly stuff, especially Lina. We liked the endless beach with a lot of great beach bars and restaurants nearby. The room is clean and the sunrise and ocean view is superb.

    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!

    The pool is the most beautiful I’ve seen so far, very design and breathtaking with a speechless view … same for the rooms , very splendid and unique , you can sleep with all the room open and just take a refresh in your private pool space… the food was AMAZING and cheap ! The personal is lovely and is really taking care of you … it’s a budget but it worth it

    This Hostel is the best option for backpackers ,I was amazed at the beauty of the place, it is completely on the sea with a beautiful view during sunrise, especially during the tides. It is also close to the main road and almost all the activities that you are looking for in Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and nice, the food is delicious and the place is clean, very good price with free wifi and breakfast, the price is really cheap compared to the services. I will go back soon ❤️
