Great location, very clean, lovely staff, comfortable beds in dormitory!
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
Great location. Nice roof terrace (if you can be bothered to climb 7 flights of stairs). Cheap drinking water. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfy bed with mosquito nets. Felt safe at night. Quiet location.
I really enjoyed my stay at Nungwi Backpacker Apartments! Crazy Man is really friendly, helpful and makes the absolute best breakfast! There is coffee and tea all the time! The rooms are not the most luxurious, but I really liked the common area with all the plants and hangmats! It was the best hostel I stayed at in Zanzibar. If I ever go back to Zanzibar I would definitely go back to Nungwi Backpacker Apartments!
The hostel is a great location and the staff were keen to help with suggestions of where to go. It's very useful to have the cooking facilities also, as we are travelling on a budget! The balcony is a great place to sit.
With years traveling as a backpacker all around the world I have to say Teddys is one of the best Hostels I've ever been so far: - My favorite beach in Zanzibar - Amazing staff - Delicious and well priced food - Wonderful pool and garden And a great mix of travelers from all over the world. From families to party people, just a wonderful crowd.
Your Zanzibar Place the best hostel i ever stayed , The whole team is amazing! Bed in dorms are big, breakfast is very good, 50m far from best beach in Zanzibar. Perfect spot for kitesufring,meeting cool people and Paje is party place. Hostel was fully booked with young backpackers and solo travelers. Thanks to manager Jo and Mr Z
Definitely the best hostel I’ve ever tried. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is really nice, and you can feel safe there. My friend and I booked for 2 nights and decided to extend until the end of our trip in Zanzibar as we enjoyed our stay at YZP. The only one thing you have to be afraid of is to be unable to leave this place !
