I loved the ambience and hospitality here. The owner gave us an amazing welcome and the breakfast was also exceptional. The cleanliness in the rooms here was another five Star experience. We loved our stay and will stay again and again.

Compass hostel was a real discovery for me! It's located just a two-minute walk from the beach. The hostel is new, very clean, and cozy. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast is delicious and the atmosphere in the hostel is set for relaxation and communication.

I had a great stay at Rafiki. Is quiet far from town but it was the best choice for me, to avoid touristic places. 10 mins walking from the hostel, you can fine the most beautiful and isolated beach. The hostel itself is was amazing. I was staying in a private room with private bathroom. Everything was clean and bed was comfy. Great to have a fan for hot days. Its similar to a bungalow so its normal to find geckos in room or flies. The staff was amazing and girls prepared a rich breakfast (included). Being far from town, you can call a driver or you can wait till 6/7 pm and go there with owner Rafiki (for free) and I think that is really a nice service to offer. Suggestion: for lunch, you can buy anything and put it in the fridge in kitchen

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 !
