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.

Featuring a bar, the property is located within 20 km of Jozani Forest. The hostel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. First off, I just wanted to express my utmost gratitude towards the lovely staff at this specific hostel. The location of this hostel is prime. Tucked away, but close enough to the beach (basically on the beach with a one minute walk over). I stayed at a hostel nearby prior to arriving to Your Zanzibar Place, and was happy with switching over. **FANS blasted AIR well, and mosquito nets were maintained. They were actually doing maintenance and checking up on each "hut" while I was there, which is promising to future travellers. Breakfast of choice included was a plus, each morning I had a new fruit juice. Favourite one was jackfruit and papaya! I stayed at this location for Christmas and the hostel hosted an all you can eat buffet for a decent price, great vibe and it was packed. Ambience, music, and areas to chill made this hostel perfect for meeting other travellers. I made amazing friendships from all over the world. I cannot forget to mention the amazing staff Miros and owner JOSIP + close family friends who made the end of my solo travelling experience memorable in Zanzibar. I'll be back to visit Paje SOON! If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask. They will help you with anything you need. Thank you x

It’s very traditional, great location, it’s cheap, great vibe, staff is nice
Amazing location. Stayed in the women's dorm. Felt more like a summer camp bunk than a hostel. Was very clean and wifi worked. Felt safe the entire time I was here. If you're a budget travel it is one of the better hostels I have been to.
met so many amazing people here. it’s a beautiful place, best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, the bungalow dorms are beautiful so clean and comfortable. plenty of space to relax and socialise around the place, it’s huge. staff are friendly, felt safe. and so good value for money
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!
As every youth hostel, it is quite cheap, so in this matter, it is as expected. The hostel is quite small, the bathroom is clean, the beds are made every day and you are given a clean towel at your arrival.
The location is strategic in the old Stone town. A stone's throw from the enchanting alleys, near the mercury house, the old fort and the night market. In truth, only the location can explain the price of this place which is above all a dormitory youth hostel
This Hostel is the best option for backpackers ,I was amazed at the beauty of the place, it is completely on the sea with a beautiful view during sunrise, especially during the tides. It is also close to the main road and almost all the activities that you are looking for in Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and nice, the food is delicious and the place is clean, very good price with free wifi and breakfast, the price is really cheap compared to the services. I will go back soon ❤️
I liked the location upfront the beach which offers every days an amazing view. The environnement was really nice, it's usually full of young backpackers so really easy to meet new people and hang out with. The housekeepers makes a good job. The host Zuri and Kayse are nice. There is a security guide everynight for our safety. The brothers Abdul and Anu are very nice, also Anu is a taxi driver which offers really good price to go everywhere. I used his services to Jambiani, Nungwi and Stone Town.
Litteraly one of the BEST hostel I have been in the whole world! extremely good position on the beach and next to the best spots in Paje. If you are a backpacker, you should definitely stay here! Good vibes also during night time
