Jambiani Backpackers Hostel

🙂 Liked: Super séjour dans cet hostel ! Le cadre est vraiment convivial et agréable, avec une belle piscine parfaite pour se détendre. Le personnel est adorable, chaleureux, toujours disponible et surtout de très bon conseil. Vous pouvez également réserver toutes vos activités directement avec eux, avec de très bons prix, ce qui est vraiment pratique. Je pensais rester seulement quelques jours et j’ai finalement passé plus d’une semaine dans cet établissement tellement je m’y suis senti bien. Une très belle expérience, je recommande sans hésiter !

🙂 Liked: Great atmosphere. William and the rest of the staff are lovely. Pool and outside areas are so lovely, felt like luxury for a hostel.

😐 Could improve: No cooking facilities but also they dont officially serve food. Also, bed was so hard.

“Rest and chill”

🙂 Liked: I had an amazing stay here! The atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming, and I really felt at home. A special thanks to William, the owner, who is genuinely an incredibly kind and helpful person. He really made my stay in Zanzibar even better. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily come back. Thank you for everything, William!

🙂 Liked: I had an amazing stay in Jambiani and can highly recommend this hostel! The whole place is beautiful and very clean, especially the rooms. The pool area is a real highlight and the perfect place to relax, hang out and meet other travelers. It’s incredibly easy to connect with new people here, and there’s a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere throughout the hostel. William and Mohammed are fantastic hosts and take care of everything you might need. They’re always around to help and make sure everyone is having a great time. The hostel also organizes group activities, which were all great and made it even easier to meet people and explore the area together. Breakfast was delicious as well! Thank you for such a great stay. I had an amazing time and would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone visiting Jambiani!

🙂 Liked: I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Everything here feels warm and welcoming. There is a nice swimming pool with plenty of sun‑bathing loungers. You can sit down, chat, play games or simply lie back and relax almost everywhere around the property. The breakfast is fantastic with a great variety of food, including beautifully prepared fruit platters. The hotel staff are very helpful. They can arrange taxis and book different day‑trip excursions for guests. I would definitely recommend this place to other travellers.

“I had an amazing time at Jambiani Backpackers Hostel!”

“A beautiful hostel, wonderful host, great location - everything you could want.”

🙂 Liked: My 7-day trip to Jambiani, Zanzibar, was an unforgettable tropical escape! This hidden gem on the southeast coast offers warm weather, stunning white-sand beaches, and a peaceful Swahili coastal vibe, a perfect contrast to busier spots. I woke to beautiful sunrises over the Indian Ocean. Jambiani's coast, with its palm trees and traditional dhow boats, is serene. By the end of my 7 days, I left Jambiani not just relaxed, but with a new appreciation for slow, community-focused travel. The island’s magic isn’t in fancy amenities or wild party scenes—it’s in the warmth of the local people, the unspoiled natural beauty of the coast, and the way time seems to slow down enough to actually savor every moment. I’m already planning my return trip, and I’d recommend Jambiani to anyone who wants more than just a generic beach vacation: this is a place that feels like home, even after just one week. ✨✨✨✨✨

😐 Could improve: Nothing

“Amazing place where you will instantly feel at home!”

🙂 Liked: The property looks amazing! Super nice pool, cozy space around the bar area, tables and chairs all around the pool as well where you can chill. The owner and staff are super nice. We feeled so welcome and at home. Anything we needed (food, transportation, activity recommendations, etc.), we only had to ask and received immediate help! The beach is nearby and you can easily get to Paje with a tuktuk in 5 minutes. It was a great stay and we'll certainly be back! Thanks to all the amazing team 🙌🤗
