I had an incredible stay at this hostel. It was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had in all my travels around Zanzibar. The service was absolutely perfect. Every staff member was friendly, helpful, and always ready to make sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. The food and drinks were a huge highlight. I’ve tried many places around Zanzibar and the meals here were truly some of the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, full of flavor, and prepared with so much care. The bar also serves amazing drinks, from fresh juices to cocktails, everything was top-notch. The property is big and full of things to do. There is a volleyball court where people gather every day, a super cozy fire pit area where you can relax at night under the stars, and lots of games and activities that make the social vibe unbeatable. It’s the kind of place where you can meet new people, relax, or stay active, all in one spot. Another huge advantage is the location. The hostel is only a five minute walk from the beach, which makes it very convenient whether you want to swim, explore, or just enjoy the ocean. Overall, this hostel combines comfort, community and great energy perfectly. If you’re coming to Zanzibar, don’t think twice, stay here. You won’t regret it.

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.

I’d say that greens is a great option if you want an accommodation in Nungwi that’s budget friendly. It’s close to the center and close enough to the beach. As a female solo traveler I’ve always felt safe in the neighborhood, even at night time. Do not hesitate to chose Green !
