Situated in Paje, a few steps from Paje Beach, Your Zanzibar Place features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 20 km of Jozani Forest. The hostel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service.

There was a line-up of people requesting to extend their stay each morning which I think speaks for itself, just do yourself (and staff :-D) a favor and book a week right away ;-) Very friendly vibe, staff is amazing and the whole hostel is a pretty dynamic place, both happy hour drinks and meal specials are changing every day, all you can eat BBQ was amazing (had like 7 plates, sorry guys :-D), there are hammocks, slack-line...but at the same time it's not a typical party hostel so you get your sleep as well. As far as I can tell bathrooms were cleaned every day with chlorine meticulously, wi-fi has been working great (for ZNZ that is :-D) and it's just couple meters from the beach.

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 had a bed in the 8-bed dormitory as my base for more than a month. Many nice and friendly people passed during the weeks and most of them followed good hostel practice. The cleaners did a good job. Windows had good mosquito netting but they had to be closed due to AC.

    I liked the location upfront the beach which offers every days an amazing view. The environnement was really nice, it's usually full of young backpackers so really easy to meet new people and hang out with. The housekeepers makes a good job. The host Zuri and Kayse are nice. There is a security guide everynight for our safety. The brothers Abdul and Anu are very nice, also Anu is a taxi driver which offers really good price to go everywhere. I used his services to Jambiani, Nungwi and Stone Town.

    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 !
