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.

The location was in a typical village, which I thought had it’s charm! It is also just a couple of minutes walk to the Paje beach. The woman who welcomed us was extremely friendly, explained everything, even tried to speak a couple of words in Dutch to us haha. The room itself was very clean, nice, shower was good!

Your Zanzibar Place is THE PLACE to be in Paje, especially as a solo traveler, it was easy to make friends with other travelers and the stuff - exceptional. The food is prepared with love, I truly enjoyed having breakfast at the place and then run to the beach for that magical morning swim, which is literally seconds away. The place is greatly managed, you can also get guidance for daytime activities, scooter and car rental and other types of transport. Afternoons spent reading in the treehouses or swinging in the hammocks are perfect if you need to relax, but also the evenings at the bar are a great way to get some quality socializing and fill your heart with good vibes. ❤️ Highly recommend.

We felt TOTALLY at home! Extended our stay for a further 2 nights! Extremely reluctant to check out! We were all up in tears when we left, as we were like family! All thanks to our fabulous hostess Maria, not forgetting Joseph and Kimu. Professional, efficient and so warm and kind! Loved the decor, ambiance and delicious dishes cooked by Maria! Fantastic location as it was less than 5 min walk to the beautiful beach and not far from the cbd. We would definitely recommend anyone to check in already! We will be back Maria and crew. Asante sana! Thank you soooo much for an absolutely wonderful stay!!!!

I loved everything about this place and it exceded my expectations. Place was very chilled and not pretentious. I found bungalows practical and functional. Nature... plants and trees around the place and pool were super nice and taken care of. Pool was nice and big. I loved brealfast as well. Also we enoyed little porch in front of bungalow which was nice for hanging and drinking beer or wine in the night. I would for sure get back here.

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!
