Jambiani Backpackers Hostel

Jambiani Backpackers Hostel is an eclectic property with a unique and laid back atmosphere. The staff are hospitable and inclusive which lends to a comfortable friendly vibe from all the guests as well. There is plenty of energy for the party crowd, but it is also peaceful enough for those looking for a quiet sanctuary.

The atmosphere, the staff

Cold water in the afternoon/evening, and no kitchen available

this is one of the best stays that I’ve ever had in my trips abroad. During my stay, I was able to locate the beach within a two minute walk from the hostel along with having an amazing breakfast, served complementary to my stay, and overall a super jubilant staff team that was always eager to answer any questions or concerns that I might have. I would absolutely recommend anyone who is traveling to book this hostel as it is one of the best experiences i have had.

I had a great experience here very welcoming and friendly staff especially William he is a joy to be around. 10/10 would love to come back and recommend to anyone.

Nothing

Where do I start! The location: 3 min walk from the beach, 1min walk from the main road. Staff: very friendly, very welcoming, always fun to hang out with and love to build genuine connections. William, if the best host I could ask for, super caring for each person and makes sure all your needs for your trip are satisfied. The drinks are amazing, very cheap too. The food is all homemade and gives you a local feel. The ambience is amazing, they’re is a gorgeous pool, along with a spectacular upstairs where you can chill and read or play board games. This hostel is an amazing place to meet other backpackers that have the same ideas in mind with you. The rooms are dorm style, with very comfy beds and are very secure. There is a sand volleyball court on property, which is very fun to play with overall, the best place I’ve ever stayed at. Would highly recommend!!

Only thing I didn’t like, was that I couldn’t stay longer. This place felt like a home away from home!

The staff were really friendly and went above and beyond to ensure you had a good time.

There was no blanket, and it felt cold at night.

William and Mo are an amazing team with a great sense of guest care. I had a perfect stay over there. Anyone who is open to meeting new people should go here.

Sometimes there is a power cut. The diesel generator needs some time to react to the lack of power

I fell in love, not just with the place, but with the care. The team is friendly, present, kind, professional, and ready for anything. Muhamed and William are real-life wish-granters, as any idea I had, they were already bringing it to life. Mornings began with breakfasts so good, the chef made me want to live a little deeper. Everything is new, clean, thoughtfully beautiful. The pool was amazing, and the Wi-Fi was impressively fast. The best coffee in the region, and incredible cookies! Unexpectedly a lot of cool memories happened there. But the real magic is the people I met. Some of them became future friends, and I’m already dreaming of when our paths will cross again!

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!
