This is the best hostel in Nungwi, and I think it's much better than many star hotels. It's new, has spacious grounds, a pool, and a beach volleyball court. The host, Gokhan, goes out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. He's the best host I've ever stayed at. He always asks how my stay is going and if I need anything. The staff is very nice, always trying to make your stay comfortable. The atmosphere is very friendly.I'm so glad I chose this hostel. It's also conveniently located away from the local shops and has direct access to the road leading to Kendwa Beach. My recommendations

Very nice place. It’s quiet, clean, the beds are huge and comfortable. There is a very nice living room area, hot water shower and a generator when there is power outage which seems to happen quite often in Zanzibar. There is a safe for your valuables, and each door has a lock code to enter. Very close to the beach and restaurants.

Green's Nungwi is the perfect little hideaway in central Nungwi. A few minutes walk to the beach, close to local (village) and resort (on the beach) restaurants, with an incredibly friendly staff and 24/7 security. Sarah and the team made me feel right at home while I was staying there.

All hostels in Nungwi

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’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 !
