Your Zanzibar Place has the best vibes. Despite not having "set activities", this hostel is very social, and better - it seems to attract the friendliest, most laid back travelers. The owners and all of the staff are really wonderful. Great bar. Great food. Stone's throw away from the beach and in a very convenient location in Paje. Tons of comfy common & lounge spaces, all set in a lovely area surrounded by sand and vegetation. The private bungalows are spacious and comfortable. The prices for food, accommodation, drinks are all fair. It's not one of those fancy, westernized, party hostels like you get everywhere in Southeast Asia, but a true, laid back, friendly beach hostel that creates an awesome vibe for backpackers and travelers of all backgrounds. We really loved our stay here, and made some great friends. There is also an adorable hostel cat there named Minouche (sp?) who I still think about often.

Great stay at Your Zanzibar Place Hostel. The rooms and common areas are very clean, the food is tasty, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I really felt welcome. The beach is just a short walk away, which is a big bonus. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Wow! What a time I had here…..came for 3-4 nights and ended up staying more than two weeks! I loved the feel/vibe of the place as soon as I walked in! Cecilia , Babu, Makalele and basically all the staff could not do enough for me every day! Great priced and tasting food, especially the twice weekly Balkan style family dinner! And good , ever changing music! Location is unreal…50 steps to the beach. 3-4 min walk to main road and access to all amenities! Asanta Sana/ thank you to all and see you again very soon!

Your Zanzibar Place has an unforgettable atmosphere. Amazing service, great fun, and so many wonderful people from all over the world. The staff is friendly, warm, and truly hospitable. The food is delicious with a good variety to choose from. Different types of accommodation are available at really fair prices. It’s not luxury, but it’s clean, cozy, relaxed, and feels like home. Highly recommended for anyone who values good vibes, socializing, and unforgettable experiences rather than fancy buildings
