The people at New Teddy's were extremely welcoming and helpful with everything! The vibe is very positive and they have little events that they organize every now and then (e.g. Wednesday barbecues). The pool and the whole outside area is extremely nice to hang out and just relax <3

New Teddy's is like paradise, a lot of corners to relax, great breakfast and good dinner. We had an excellent tour in the village with cooking class with the Hotel guide and musician Coco, who also helped us in organizing our way back to Stone Town passing by Josiani Park and a spice farm. Thanks Coco. Great place to enjoy the beach and at the same time discover Zanzibar life!

The property had a really chill beach hostel vibe to it. The pool was perfect with a beautiful view of the Indian Ocean. Our room was big and very clean. The staff were very friendly, personable and worked with us to plan custom excursions and even gave us really good recommendations for local restaurants.

I planned to stay for only 2 days and ended up staying an entire week! Amazing location with beautiful clear blue waters, a great pool, and plenty of good places to sit and relax. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant serves really good food (plus a good breakfast).

New Teddys on the beach is the most comfortable hostel in Jiambiani (and to be fair also Paje). Very relaxing vibe, most amazing staff and easy to get social with people if you want to. Can't recommend this hostel enough. Asante sana!

The staff was delightful and helpful. In particular, Celena was very helpful in all aspects. I lost my phone and credit cards previous to arriving and she went above and beyond to accommodate me.

New Teddy's is a beautiful place! The pool is great, the staff is nice and helpful. Great food a la carte and yummy daily specials! The mix of single backpackers, couples and family makes it really interesting and diverse.

New Teddy's in the Beach is a lovely location in a quiet little village. I keep extending my stay. I highly recommend staying here! It sits right on the beach so that you can watch the ocean when the tide is high or low. There are lots of places to sit in the shade and chill after a walk in the beach or a dip in the pool (important because the sun is pretty intense) There is a volleyball net and a slack line too. The staff are friendly, helpful and very good at their jobs. The food is good and you can meet people sitting in the bar if you feel social. There are some little cafes and shops out on the street also if you prefer. I am staying in a dorm with a sand floor and the bed is large and comfortable with a mosquito net. There are lockers for your valuables and each bed has a light and plug.

New Teddy’s is a slice of heaven—rather well kept and clean and a welcoming and low key place perfect for relaxing and as a base in Jambiani. If you’re looking for a good vibe, this place has it. New Teddy’s fun mix of travelers and local families—it can be a lot with kids from the owner’s friend group, but I never found this to be a frustration. It works. The breakfast and food is great, and affordable. The service and staff are great. The beer is cold. Dorms are solid, but would recommend the dorm not along the wall—it’s less noisy (the village is right next door).

Amazing staff, perfect location, yummy food and ultimate vacation vibes. Perfect place to wind down and have a wonderful vacation with great people too. We really loved our 5 nights in one of the private villas and would definitely come back! 😍 100% recommended :) P.S.: Reviewing this review I see that I used a lot of superlative words. As a German I generally don’t use them too often :D but for New Teddy’s they are more than appropriate! :)
