Reviews of Compass Hostel

very comfortable & huge beds, nice breakfasts, the crew is always smiling and willing to help

nothing in particular

Everything was good. The location is nearby the beach. Room was super clean and even equipped with the safe. Shower water is hot and big. It’s really nice to stay with.

Can’t use the kitchen

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in! The location is perfect! The stuff is amazing especially Kerbina is really really kind! I felt super welcome from the first second. The beds are so big I never experienced a double bed in a hostel before. The rooms are really clean as well. Highly recommended!!

10/10 would stay here again. Best value for price I've seen in a long time. Staff were exceedingly friendly and accomodating- Kerbina especially was a wonderful help with my laundry, transportation, and other needs. Clean, beautiful, great location, helpful staff. Perfect.

Great hostel. Hot water, A/C, curtains, free water and everything you can ask for! The staff is very kind and helpful. Great value for money!

The 4-bed dormitory was nice! Beds were spacious and had curtains. the room had AC and each bed had its fan. Staff was extremely friendly! Kelbina is always smiling and ready to help. The guards I met were also very friendly! I would stay there again!

I've been here multiple times now, and it's a reliably good, newly built place with AC in a great location. Beds have their own lights, curtains for privacy and it's relatively quiet, which is great—good common area and decent breakfast.

Suggest adding soap to the bathrooms, especially with backpackers coming and going from countries all over the world. With the rising nightly price, suggest a refrigerator for storing leftovers, or a small kitchen area for cooking pasta, or a small meal. Eating out for lunch and dinner can get expensive if you don't know where to go.

We had a great location, the beds were very comfortable, we loved that there was privacy curtains in the hostel.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the hostel

Highly recommend staying here. It is incredible

All was amazing

Good shower, clean bed, nice yard.

Nothing

Everything! The breakfast was also great

Everything was good but if I have to say something little is that some of the staff didn't speak English but that was not a big deal at all

I already stayed here part time-it’s perfect -hot water,AC, plastic windows with full cover And as a bonus it’s really just few steps from the ocean!

Was rain at that time but it’s not Compass fault 🥰

The breakfast is basic, but price/performance is perfect. There's butter, peanut butter and some sauces. There's a toaster for the bread. Each person gets two eggs per breakfast by opting out the preparation way - scrambled, boiled, Spanish omelet... Fruits is abundant (watermelon and papaya during my stay). Instant coffee and couple of variates of a Tanzanian tea are an option as well. Juice is available also.

The property is brand new! The rooms are very nice! the beds are comfy and huge! The bathroom is impeccables and the shower really nice! They have board games and a ps4 which made the rainy day easier! The sad was very nice responsive!

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hostel! The space is clean, well-maintained, and has a really good vibe. Everyone I met was super friendly, and the owner is both very understanding and extremely responsive. The location is also a big plus you’re less than 5 minutes from the beach! 100% recommend

Super place tucked into a quiet spot in Nungwi that is new and has everything you need. Staff are wonderful. Highly recommend.

Nothing.

Some soap in the bathroom would be great.

I had previously stayed at a hotel owned by the same hosts, and I’m happy to see that this new hostel continues all the best qualities: spotless cleanliness, excellent service, a warm atmosphere, and a truly personal approach to every guest. Everything is brand new and tastefully designed. A great place to feel at home by the ocean. Nungwi is the best area to stay in Zanzibar.

No real downsides — as long as you’re comfortable in hostel format

I spent four nights in this hostel and had a great time. The hostel has only been open for about a month, but already seems very well organized and lovingly run. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean and are cleaned daily Another great feature is the comfortable lounge area, which has a workstation, a PlayStation and various games - ideal for relaxing or getting to know other travelers. Breakfast was fresh and filling every morning: omelette or fried egg, bread, fresh fruit as well as coffee, tea and water A special thank you to Nayssa, who is an excellent hostess. She gave me lots of valuable tips and was always keen to help and advise all guests. You can tell that she really cares that everyone feels at home here. The rest of the staff were also friendly and helpful without exception. The location is ideal - the beach is only a few minutes away and there are plenty of good cafés and restaurants in the surrounding area. I can highly recommend this hostel - for solo travelers as well as couples or friends looking for a relaxed and well looked after place to stay in Zanzibar.

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.

All was good
