Absolutely loved my whole time at New Teddy’s. The location, space and facilities are a dream: right in front of a gorgeous beach, beautiful layout with the swimming pool in the middle, the different lounge options, the sunshine and the breeze, the bar and open living/dinning area. The whole environment really makes it easy to meet people, hangout and overall feel really happy while being there. The food and drinks were incredible, highly reccomend the salads and cocktails (specially during happy hour, when everybody gathers around the bar) and the prices are really reasonable. Finally, the staff team is amazing, super warm and friendly, hardworking, trustworthy, they give the best reccomendations because they genuinely want to share their knowledge and love for this place. Asante Selina, Nuru, Enock, Juma, Amos, Raphael and the whole team, your good vibes make this place really special :)

The two receptionists at the accommodation are very friendly and will answer any questions patiently. The air conditioning in the room was good enough which is important in the hot summer.

The property is located 300 meters from Nungwi Beach. The accommodation offers a 24-hour security, a shared kitchen. A pool under the palms in the Green garden. After traveling around in Zanzibar for a while I could honestly say that this is the best place i have stayed. It’s super clean, big breakfast, the service is at top and for accommodation a very good price. Zanzibar In general is not cheap and it’s not easy to find budget accommodation, so to find a place that is this cheap and also a much higher standard than most places is amazing. Even the more expensive places I’ve stayed can’t keep up on the service level that Greens provide. The respect between everyone who is working inside Greens is very nice to see, I bet Greens is a very lovely place to work. That’s probably why it’s such a family atmosphere inside Greens. Was reading other reviews about greens and the people who complain about small details are just ridiculous, some people always have to find something to complain about. You have to come here to experience it yourself. I’m definitely coming back here

The house itself is beautiful, everything is done up very nicely and even the beds in The “dorms” are very spacious single beds. The staff were exceptional! We arrived at 6am the morning of check in after travelling through the night, and one of the members of our group was sick. They had no problem letting us up to a room that early and did not charge us any extra. The same thing happened on the last day with a sick member who couldn’t leave the bed and again they were so accommodating and kind. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice spot in stone town!

Great location, very clean, lovely staff, comfortable beds in dormitory!
Amazing location. Stayed in the women's dorm. Felt more like a summer camp bunk than a hostel. Was very clean and wifi worked. Felt safe the entire time I was here. If you're a budget travel it is one of the better hostels I have been to.
met so many amazing people here. it’s a beautiful place, best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, the bungalow dorms are beautiful so clean and comfortable. plenty of space to relax and socialise around the place, it’s huge. staff are friendly, felt safe. and so good value for money
We booked for 3 nights and ended up staying over 2 weeks! We got lucky to be there at the time the hostel guests formed a really nice group, but when when quieter this place felt like an oasis of peace, relaxation and perfect holidays. The swimming pool is a blessing at any time of the day or night, the breakfast was so delicious, the staff was very kind. The location, hidden from the busy and touristy Paje, was perfect as it felt like coming back home to a comfy place. Very cheap accommodation. Definitely the best hostel in Zanzibar for me!
As every youth hostel, it is quite cheap, so in this matter, it is as expected. The hostel is quite small, the bathroom is clean, the beds are made every day and you are given a clean towel at your arrival.
The location is strategic in the old Stone town. A stone's throw from the enchanting alleys, near the mercury house, the old fort and the night market. In truth, only the location can explain the price of this place which is above all a dormitory youth hostel
This Hostel is the best option for backpackers ,I was amazed at the beauty of the place, it is completely on the sea with a beautiful view during sunrise, especially during the tides. It is also close to the main road and almost all the activities that you are looking for in Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and nice, the food is delicious and the place is clean, very good price with free wifi and breakfast, the price is really cheap compared to the services. I will go back soon ❤️
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.
Litteraly one of the BEST hostel I have been in the whole world! extremely good position on the beach and next to the best spots in Paje. If you are a backpacker, you should definitely stay here! Good vibes also during night time
