Coconuts Bandas is located right on the beach. The whole team is very friendly and works hard to make your stay special. The included breakfast is freshly prepared and delicious. The shared bathroom is clean and well maintained. There is a Kite school, a restaurant, and a lil Spa and boutique. Team is very helpful with organizing transport and activities like swimming with dolphins, BBQ on a small white sandbank, snorkeling, shopping tours. It is all these little things making a stay at Coconuts Bandas very special and priceless. Big value for money.

This was a great place to stay in Paje. Super close to the beach and I was surprised that their kitchen had super delicious food that is not expensive. The staff and owner immediately make you feel at home and after staying in many hostels around Tanzania I’d say this was one of my experiences! Would definitely love to come back!

The vibe of this hostel was great! Pool was nice and lots of areas to chill, read and relax. Not far from the beach and a short walk along the main road to a restaurant with delicious chapatas!

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!
