The place is very basic but it has some kitchen so that you can make your own meals. The location was perfect, just at the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the bed comfy. There are also some places to work with your laptop in the hostel. The WiFi was also quite good (as for Zanzibar standards).

The location can’t be beat! Friendly guests who were also staying there. Staff is great. Would recommend.

Ananda Beach Guesthouse location is perfect exactly on the beach in the best part of Paje. We have booked bungalow which was simple, large, equipped with a fan and very, very clean. We had private sunbeds and view was amazing! The Romanian staff and the locals were very polite. It is 200 meters from the best local restaurants. The wifi was pretty good, however, during the evening was slow but this is normal for the whole island. It was extremely clean as the local ladies were cleaning up our rooms daily! For $4.5 dollars you can use the laundry, which is very convenient.

The location is right on the beach, with white sand just in front of the room. There are nice and cheap restaurants nearby. It was clean and the room was nice.

I loved the dogs and the cats . Very friendly and helpful receptionist . The hotel facing the sea and a very serene environment.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating when I was having credit card issues, I was stressed out and they were very patient with me as I figured out my money issue. I stayed 4 great days there on the beach and would recommend Ananda's to anyone!

I loved how welcoming the staff was and how safe/comfortable the property felt. I also appreciated the air conditioning and mosquito nets! I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the dorm accommodations were.

The location, the staff are 10+. We were right on the beach, surronded by restaurants and bars and 5-10 min walk from the supermarkets. The rooms were cleaned daily, we felt sorry for the cleaning ladies for wiping all the sand we brought in :D The breakfast was simple but very tasty. We took all the trips with the help of our host Ciprian, and they were amazing. Ciprian, Elena, Angel, Suzanne, the cook (sorry, I forgot his name) and everyone there, thank you again!

Beautiful space on the beach, clean bunglaws and intentional personal touches from the caretakers. Breakfast is good and plenty of restaurants and cafes withing walking distance.

I liked the fact it was right on the beach, it's cleaned everyday, the furniture outside.. especially the swinging bed, it's next to a lovely restaurant who serve the best food although its expensive compared to else where, the pools around the hostel to dip your feet to get the sand off to stop trailing it into your room and the main area. I liked that it was a small hostel, it was super relaxing and they have dogs which are friendly and Elena really takes care of them which is so nice to see. I'd definitely recommend this place. They also have washing machines.
