- Zimmer wurde versehentlich doppelt bezahlt. Besitzer weigerte sich, mir das Geld zurückzugeben und gab mir falsche Trackingnummer an. Er wurde ausfällig, abwertend und beleidigend. Er schuldet mir USD 120.- und wurde von Booking.com verwarnt - es ist extrem laut und betrunkene Menschen wecken das ganze Hostel auf - Einheimische hängen an der Bar rum und belästigen Frauen - Koch kostet Essen des Kunden mit den Händen und kocht weiter, ohne diese zu waschen (ich hatte Magenprobleme bis ich nicht mehr dort ass. Ein Freund von mir hatte eine Lebensmittelvergiftung nach dem Essen dort) - WLAN nur im Restaurant nicht in den Zimmern - Matrazen hatten Bettwanzen und sind durchgelegen - es liegt nicht am Strand

Es hatte Bettwanzen. Und das schlimmste war, der Besitzer hat uns um 120 Dollar betrogen.

It was an okay place, but we ended up with itchy rashes from bugs in the bed. And some of the bartending staff made us feel uncomfortable so we avoided the bar the rest of our stay. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you want to feel safe and clean.

This place was so great but on my last day I discovered I had so many bedbug bites from here. I hadn’t stayed at any hostel before so it had to be this place. So sad :(

Vibe Analysis
Twice-weekly Balkan-style family dinner gives Your Zanzibar Place a real social anchor, not just a bar with beds nearby. The hostel sits very close to Paje beach, with a sandy, open common area, music, cocktails, hammocks, table tennis, darts, volleyball, and plenty of space to hang around after the ocean. The mood is backpacker, beachy, and loose: friendly staff, fair prices, tasty food, and an easy setup for solo travelers who want to meet people. It is not trying to be a polished resort. Think simple huts and bungalows, cold drinks, shared tables, beach plans, and that sticky Zanzibar feeling where a short booking can quietly stretch longer. Rooms and facilities can be basic, and comfort varies. Some rooms are clean and cozy, while others may feel hot, humid, musty, noisy, or too rustic. The strongest fit is for social travelers who want Paje beach, a lively bar, and a low-friction place to plug into the scene.
