Mambo Leo Hostel, hotel in Paje

Situated in Paje, within 400 metres of Paje Beach and 19 km of Jozani Forest, Mambo Leo Hostel features accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge, and free WiFi.

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!

New Teddy's on the Beach, hotel in Jambiani

Located in Jambiani, a few steps from Jambiani Beach, New Teddy's on the Beach provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

stayed here for three nights and it wasn’t enough. We absolutely fell in love with the place. The location is just so tranquil and Zen. Staff are amazing they are so helpful and super friendly. We ate here every night. One of us is a vegetarian and the food on offer was superior. we will definitely be back again next year. we had a lovely walk from here all the way to Paji. Had lunch on the way. Everywhere is reasonably priced and you don’t get ripped off. Taxi’s are very reasonable too.

Clean and social place, which allows you to have some fun or to spend your time in a quiet place to recover energies, located next to the beach and really close to the center of the local village ,Mohammed is a really attentive person who really understand the type of people which stays in Backapackers, I would truly recommend it and of course I would visit again.

Coconuts Bandas, hotel in Jambiani

Set in Jambiani, Coconuts Bandas offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Paje Beach and offers various facilities, such as a private beach area, a restaurant and a bar.

Breakfast is good, and the coffee is tasty, but only when there’s electricity. When there’s no electricity, the breakfast options become very limited. You won’t get juice or coffee, and the tea selection is reduced to just one type — not even basic black or green tea was offered. If you enjoy sleeping on a hard mattress, that’s a plus. Beyond that, I can’t say anything good about this place.

Sunny House Paje II, hotel in Paje

Sunny House Paje II is situated in Paje, 13 km from Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park. The property is close to Paje Beach, Airborne Kite & Surf Village and Paje By Kite - Zanzibar.

Good location, near to Paje beach as well as close to the main circle of Paje. You can get all kinds of transport to go either way of Paje, or to go to the airport / stone town. Nice homely stay experience. Do not expect hotel-like amenities. It is a simple homestay. Both the hosts, Axel and Sarah, are chill personalities. Sometimes, the neighborhood local kiddos visit this place. You can have a bit of fun time with them.

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.

    Definitely the best hostel I ever tried. The staff is amazing, and the atmosphere is really nice. Beautiful beach is just around the corner, and 5 minutes to city centre. Location is unbeatable. Authentic bungalows and YZP is surrounded with many palm trees and beautiful garden. Rare red colobus monkeys are coming to visit place as well .

    Excellent breakfast..great location and beautiful chill out zones. The dorms come equipped with a lockable safe and usb and normal and also EU plug sockets which is a nice touch. The staff were incredible especially madeleine who went out of her way to make sure I am happy. Modern feel to the hostel and relaxing vibes.
