One of my all-time favourite places to stay in Zanzibar. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and well-managed. The location is perfect - everything you need is within walking distance including the beach, markets, and the main town. Also great for making friends if you are traveling alone!

Very friendly staff, free drinking water, generator when the power goes off in the village, super close to all the restaurants, the beach, the shops. Cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Top 3 hostels I’ve ever stayed at - I loved it!

Breakfast was solid. Location was close to the beach, I just wish there were seats on the beach to lie-down.

“Such a delight!”
I liked absolutely everything! Ebb & Flow was so beautiful, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. I’d highly recommend it, especially for first-time travelers. The other guests were also very kind, and we all bonded while enjoying the peaceful, ‘no Wi-Fi’ quiet life.

“A solo traveler’s dream! Meet fellow adventurers, join daily activities, and feel at home!”
I booked this place just 5 minutes before arriving, and it turned out to be the best surprise! The guesthouse is super charming, and the community manager organizes fun daily activities for guests. I didn’t expect to meet so many solo travelers, but I ended up making amazing friendships. The staff are incredibly friendly—it really feels like a family away from home!

THE BEST HOSTEL IN PAJE AND PROBABLY BEST IN ZANZIBAR!!! This place is great! The staff are awesome and the whole place has a great feel and such good energy!! There’s a decent breakfast and an adorable cat and the pool is great but also super close to the beach. The staff can help arrange taxis and tours and anything you might need, they make it super easy. I stayed it a private room and it felt like I was at a luxury hotel and I was so comfortable and happy I teared up leaving. They have a water jug to refill your waters and reduce waste which is amazing!!

“Would happily stay again.”
The accommodation had a nice, relaxed vibe. The staff were very helpful. The hotel is also close to Paje beach. We enjoyed the breakfast. WiFi was good. It is a pleasant alternative to large corporate hotels found in other parts of the world.
