This place is absolutely amazing, a true oasis in the middle of the village. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff make everything so easy and enjoyable. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away. I would definitely recommend it and would love to come back.

I stayed at this hostel during my trip to Zanzibar, and I honestly couldn’t believe the quality I got for the price. From the moment I arrived, the staff were super friendly and welcoming—they really go out of their way to make you feel at home. They helped me with everything from booking tours to recommending local spots to eat, and they always had a smile on their faces. The room I stayed in was spotlessly clean, air-conditioned, and very cozy. After a long day exploring or chilling by the sea, coming back to such a comfortable and cool room was a treat. You can tell the place is well-maintained and that they really care about keeping it nice for guests. The location is just perfect—it’s literally just a few steps from the beach and would walk out every morning for a quick dip or to watch the sunrise. The whole vibe of the place is super chill and relaxed, with hammocks and little corners to read or just hang out. It was the perfect balance of social and peaceful. What surprised me most is how cheap it was compared to the value you get. Honestly, I’ve paid way more in other places and didn’t get half the quality. If you’re traveling to Zanzibar and want a great stay without blowing your budget, this place is an absolute gem. PS. This place is really safe as well! U could leave ur stuff the whole day and come back finding them untouched! Would 100% stay here again!

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.
