It’s the best hostel in Zanzibar, and I stayed in 4 different ones during my stay. The lounge area is unbelievable, I was truly enjoying it every single day. People working there are very friendly, accommodating, welcoming, and treat you like a friend, not just a guest. I met great people there and we spent whole time together going on different tours and exploring the area together. I wasn’t bothered by local people at all, felt very relaxed and at peace. Just 10/10 experience, nothing else

The fact that it is near the beach was a plus for me. Also the staff were amazing. Had chats with them about Mombasa. Interesting fellows. The place is ideal for solo travelers.

The location was in a typical village, which I thought had it’s charm! It is also just a couple of minutes walk to the Paje beach. The woman who welcomed us was extremely friendly, explained everything, even tried to speak a couple of words in Dutch to us haha. The room itself was very clean, nice, shower was good!

Everything was so comfortable. The vibe was really good and it was like being in a really big family. The owner was really welcoming and he was organizing so many things for the group where you could just decide to join or not. The atmosphere was so good and everyone was just really chill. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good time.

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.

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!
