Located in Jambiani, a few steps from Paje Beach, Jambiani Backpackers Hostel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the various facilities are a terrace, a bar, as well as a private beach area. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Excellent place to stay. nice breakfast (they’ve started including breakfast in their stay for free). Dorms and private rooms have great AC (although don’t expect an eskimo room when it’s the middle of summer, the ACs across Zanzibar take a beating then). This is a chilled hostel with a stunning pool area where you can relax and read a book. It is NOT a party hostel, which is exactly what I was looking for. Mohammed (the host/owner) is a really nice guy and goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome and helps with booking activities and rides to anywhere on the island. About 95% of the guests, including myself, extended their stay.

Located in Jambiani, New Teddy's on the Beach features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and free WiFi. The property has a terrace, as well as a bar. The accommodation offers a tour desk, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests.

All units at the hostel come with a seating area. New Teddy's on the Beach provides some rooms with sea views, and all rooms come with a balcony. Absolutely loved my whole time at New Teddy’s. The location, space and facilities are a dream: right in front of a gorgeous beach, beautiful layout with the swimming pool in the middle, the different lounge options, the sunshine and the breeze, the bar and open living/dinning area. The whole environment really makes it easy to meet people, hangout and overall feel really happy while being there. The food and drinks were incredible, highly reccomend the salads and cocktails (specially during happy hour, when everybody gathers around the bar) and the prices are really reasonable. Finally, the staff team is amazing, super warm and friendly, hardworking, trustworthy, they give the best reccomendations because they genuinely want to share their knowledge and love for this place. Asante Selina, Nuru, Enock, Juma, Amos, Raphael and the whole team, your good vibes make this place really special :)

The property is located 300 meters from Nungwi Beach. The accommodation offers a 24-hour security, a shared kitchen. A pool under the palms in the Green garden. After traveling around in Zanzibar for a while I could honestly say that this is the best place i have stayed. It’s super clean, big breakfast, the service is at top and for accommodation a very good price. Zanzibar In general is not cheap and it’s not easy to find budget accommodation, so to find a place that is this cheap and also a much higher standard than most places is amazing. Even the more expensive places I’ve stayed can’t keep up on the service level that Greens provide. The respect between everyone who is working inside Greens is very nice to see, I bet Greens is a very lovely place to work. That’s probably why it’s such a family atmosphere inside Greens. Was reading other reviews about greens and the people who complain about small details are just ridiculous, some people always have to find something to complain about. You have to come here to experience it yourself. I’m definitely coming back here

Popular points of interest nearby include Sultan's Palace, Zanzibar, Hamamni Persian Baths and Old Dispensary. The property is non-smoking and is set 800 metres from Peace Memorial Museum.

At the hostel the rooms have bed linen and towels. The house itself is beautiful, everything is done up very nicely and even the beds in The “dorms” are very spacious single beds. The staff were exceptional! We arrived at 6am the morning of check in after travelling through the night, and one of the members of our group was sick. They had no problem letting us up to a room that early and did not charge us any extra. The same thing happened on the last day with a sick member who couldn’t leave the bed and again they were so accommodating and kind. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice spot in stone town!

If you're traveling alone or with friends, I highly recommend Drifters!
