I recently had an amazing time at Your Zanzibar Place. This place quickly became my favorite spot on the island. The environment is super cool, and it's in such a great location that I could easily explore the nearby beaches. The hostel's bar was a blast to hang out in. I met so many cool people and had some great conversations over drinks. They also offer a variety of delicious food options in the restaurant, always served with a big smile:) But what really blew me away was the owner's hospitality. On my last day, as I had to head back to Stone Town to catch my flight, I encountered a bit of trouble. I couldn't find petrol for my scooter anywhere in Paje. Just when I thought I was stuck, the owner came to the rescue and provided me with the petrol I needed. He really saved the day! Overall, my stay at Your Zanzibar Place was incredible. The laid-back atmosphere, tasty food & cocktails, and awesome hospitality made it an unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be recommending this place to anyone heading to Zanzibar, and I can't wait to come back myself...

Very nice guesthouse 2 minutes from the sea, and the staff is very kind and welcoming! We got even invited to have a Tanzanian dinner with them, the staff cooked for us and it was amazing.

Drifters Hostel in Zanzibar is honestly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The owner, David, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels at home. The accommodation itself is amazing — comfortable, clean, and designed perfectly for both solo travellers and groups looking to meet people and have a good time. The location is absolutely unreal. You’re right on the beach with insane sunsets and crystal-clear water just steps away. It’s the kind of spot you think only exists in photos until you get there. Now the food… 11/10. I’m not exaggerating. Every meal is delicious, fresh, and really reasonably priced — especially for solo travellers on a budget. Whether you’re chilling, exploring, or looking to socialise, Drifters has the perfect vibe. Couldn’t recommend it more. If you’re coming to Zanzibar and looking for a place that feels like home but better, stay at Drifters. You won’t want to leave.

I can't say enough good things about this place! Perfectly situated and beautifully decorated. The staff are all incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is excellent, the best we've ever tasted on Zanzibar. A special thank you to Selina for the warm welcome, kindness, and hospitality, and to Millie for the fantastic massage and gorgeous braids. Big thank you to the entire staff. We can't wait to come back!

Everything! The property was in amazing condition—clean, well-maintained, and super comfortable. The environment was just perfect. It felt like a little oasis where you could relax but also meet amazing people and have great conversations. I stayed at this hostel, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The people there were incredible—super friendly, and it was so easy to connect with everyone. I ended up making a lot of friends, and the whole place had such a warm and welcoming vibe. Breakfast was fantastic! You start with a plate of fresh fruits, which was such a refreshing way to begin the day. After that, they serve the main meal, which was always delicious. Plus, they had coffee and all sorts of tea options, which I absolutely loved. It really felt like they cared about providing a great start to the day.

All hostels in Paje

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.
