Great location, friendly staff, really good breakfast with changing fresh juice every day. bar is open almost all day long, the restaurant serves different dishes every day. both drinks and food at very reasonable prices. Beautiful outdoor area to chill (with attention to details!) with the view over the fantastic turquoise water. Would clearly recommend this place for your next stay at Zanzibar!

The villa is in a very strategic location with access to the beach and a shopping area. A brochure with restaurants around and what to do made everything easier.

I had an amazing time here. Mohamed and William were great, friendly and professionnal owners. The hostel is comfortable and very beautiful, with all commodities. Mohamed and William gave us good plans to spent our time, and gave the hostel a chill (but also ready to party) vibe. They created opportunities for the lonely travelers to meet and spend time together, managed to negociate prices for us, used their network to offer new activities. It is a perfect place to either make new friends, visit, chill or party. I felt safe and so happy! The breakfast is also the best I ever had, my congrats to the cook! Thank you so much, I will come back if given the chance!

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!
