Jambiani Backpackers Hostel

Nice location very cheap

This place is amazing! My favorite mornings: having that delicious breakfast (there are three options) sitting in the pool! I spent 3 nights, including new years eve, and it was the best energy ever! With the other guests and the people working there. Mohamed is very helpful: he organised a great dinner for the 31st and then he paid for our taxis ( we were a group of 25 aprox) to go to paje to the celebration. Very nice gesture. It was the best to have decided to spend those nights in there. Some people that i met there we became travel buddies. Great atmosphere! 100% reccomended

The mattress in the dorm could be better

Staff are super friendly and helpful. The place has a very good atmosphere.

Fantastic hostel with a great vibe and friendly staff.It attracts a cool bunch of people and there is something to do every day.

Nothing not to like

Everything! The property was in amazing condition—clean, well-maintained, and super comfortable. The environment was just perfect. It felt like a little oasis where you could relax but also meet amazing people and have great conversations. I stayed at this hostel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The people there were incredible—super friendly, and it was so easy to connect with everyone. I ended up making a lot of friends, and the whole place had such a warm and welcoming vibe. Breakfast was fantastic! You start with a plate of fresh fruits, which was such a refreshing way to begin the day. After that, they serve the main meal, which was always delicious. Plus, they had coffee and all sorts of tea options, which I absolutely loved. It really felt like they cared about providing a great start to the day.

Nothing really

Had an epic time at Jambiani backpackers. The vibe that place has is unmatched. One of my favourite backpackers I have ever been to! The rooms are cozy and the chill spaces are breathtaking! I’d highly recommend the place to anyone travelling in Zanzibar!

The staff went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, anything you needed it was never too much effort, organised excursions... and just made it feel like a proper community.

There wasn't anything I didn't like!
