Originally booked for 3 nights and ended up staying for 2 weeks! Was recommended Teddy’s by numerous other travellers and it did not disappoint. The setting and facilities are amazing (much better than even some of the pricier hotels), the staff couldn’t do more for you and the food is great! It’s social, without being “party”- so you get the perfect mix of meeting people and a good night sleep! I feel like I’ll be a regular!

We stayed in the loft accommodation which has a huge comfy bed and it's very cozy. The accommodation is straight on the beach, the restaurant has a lot of food choices and is always serving food. Breakfast was very good and the coffee amazing. It is an excellent accommodation choice if you want a chilled vibe, being on the beach, for a good price. The staff is wonderful and they always try their best to help out with anything. Definitely recommended!

I stayed here for almost 2 weeks, i’m not really sure that i can write these guys what they deserve but i will do my best; This is the place to be in zanzibar specially if you are solo traveler, everyone here are so welcoming and trying to serve you whatever you want and even sometimes before you ask! The hostel is approximately 30 second from the beach and close to most of the restaurants and to the main road, i got the 4 beds dorm which was super clean and they clean the room everyday and change the bedsheets too!!, the breakfast from 8 till 10😨 there are 2 options available for free which are, pancakes or eggs. Plus coffee and juice. The facilities are super clean, there are more than 5 toilets and showers so you will nearly never wait for a shower, they have safe box where you can put your passport and valuables in and they really take care of it and even not everyone of the workers can enter the safety box room, there are cctv in the place, from midnight there are security guard which feels safe and a good thing, there are so much space in the hostel to just chill and enjoy, you can buy drinks and food from the bar from 7am till 12am and you can pay the bell last day which is really convenient and they have specials everyday, they can arrange everything for you from airport pick up till kite surfing!, the workers from the owners till the cleaners are always smiling and give the place a really good vibe. Thanks to josep, soliman, dr ali and the comedian alex and all the others to make this stay unforgettable, for sure will come again.

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.

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!
