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.

    Very basic backpackers hostel, but you have everything you need, good vibes included. The manager is excellent, always helpful for anything (information, excursions, etc.). Breakfast is super!

    My stay in greens has been fabulous. The staff is so kind! It was easy to meet other people, the breakfast was good. Beautiful garden. The dormitory is spacious and has a bathroom inside. All bathrooms has hot water! It was kept clean all the time. This is definitely a hostel that provides everything you need! So good value for the money!

    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 !

    Really affordable place, AC in dormitory, bathroom with hot water in dormitory (all bathrooms have hot water) , a big breakfast, TV in the common area and a pool. For almost no money at all. It’s the best hostel I ever stayed. The garden is really nice and the staff is very good. It feels like coming to a friend. I definitely recommend

    A small oasis in the center of nungwi. Great location, big breakfast and wonderful staff. The dormitory has a bathroom inside and curtains for the beds for privacy. The garden is lovely. Greens is always my option when I come to nungwi. Definitely recommend it!

    Perfect for a backpackers traveling on a budget. In the middle of the village, 5 min with local motorbike to the main beaches. Adriana has been very kind and gave us all tips to enjoy our stay. Try out local restaurants you find nearby, they are cheap and tasty. Moreover in front of the house lives a Boda Boda driver, make sure to take his number to discover the surrounding

    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!
