I can honestly say, i fell in love with this place as soon as I saw it. The beautiful terrace outside was just calling me to enjoy my morning coffee there. And luckily I was able to, because they have a very well equipped kitchen (filter coffee machine included). Nina and Benja, owners that welcomed us to their Villa, were super nice. Shared so many amazing tips about the island and helped us to organize some trips around the place. Our room was really nice and super clean. I love the local vibe of the place. With hot water in our own bathroom and fast WiFi.

The staff is absolutely amazing! They were so nice helped us around, explained to us about Tanzanian culture and cooked Tanzanian food with us. The kitchen is excellent, clean and had everything we needed. Location is great if you like to be within 5 min of the main touristic hotels and beaches yet enjoy a chill local vibe with cheap local food close by

An absolute gem for authentic, chilled beach bungalow vibes! The location, the views, miles and miles of beach, the pool, the atmosphere were all tops. But what makes Drifters special is definitely the fabulous staff and of course the food! Try everything on the menu, especially the coconut prawn curry and the spicy mango-ginger-cinnamon juice. I'll be back for sure! Asante sana!

I loved everything about this place and it exceded my expectations. Place was very chilled and not pretentious. I found bungalows practical and functional. Nature... plants and trees around the place and pool were super nice and taken care of. Pool was nice and big. I loved brealfast as well. Also we enoyed little porch in front of bungalow which was nice for hanging and drinking beer or wine in the night. I would for sure get back here.

The Sunny House is very well located, 2 Minutes walking to the beach and 5 minutes from the main road in the village. The room was very comfortable for me and clean; and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. They reacted very fast to all requests and gave many helpful advises. There are many possibilities to oragnize the stay on the island (esepcially if you like to explore it a bit more). I had great time and will come back for sure, when I'm in Sansibar again :) Thank you Sara and Axel, it was a pleasure to know you!

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.

    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!
