The Hostel opened five days before my arrival. I suppose little things will be supplied, like hooks in the shared bathroom, a hanger for toilet paper etc

The Sunny House is very well located, 2 Minutes walking to the beach and 5 minutes from the main road in the village. The room was very comfortable for me and clean; and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. They reacted very fast to all requests and gave many helpful advises. There are many possibilities to oragnize the stay on the island (esepcially if you like to explore it a bit more). I had great time and will come back for sure, when I'm in Sansibar again :) Thank you Sara and Axel, it was a pleasure to know you!

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!
