Guest reviews for Compass Hostel
"I had a wonderful stay at Compass. The rooms and the entire hostel were exceptionally clean, quiet, and very comfortable. What made it special was the staff—they treat you like family and make you feel right at home. It’s also in a perfect location, just a short walk to the beach. I loved it here and would definitely stay again!"

"Amazing experience, it’s the first time I stay in a hostel and Compass exceeded my expectations. The beds are huge, with the good private detail of the curtains, each of them have a safe box and fan which makes it perfect. The place is clean, the bathroom and shower are very comfortable and with good water pressure. Not to mention the location it’s close to every important spot in Nungwi. The staff is also very friendly and helpful if needed. Thank you!"

"I felt very safe and secure in the hostel. The location was right by the beach. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all so kind of helpful. The rooms had ACs and personal fans. The beds were very large and the rooms had bed curtains and blackout curtains . It was all so clean."
"It was a quiet hostel which is very nice but difficult to meet people. But that just might be Nungwi"

"One of the best places I’ve stayed!! I’ve stayed in many hostels but the value for money is great. Great location, hot shower, locker, privacy and great architecture I definitely would recommend it"
"Should add a mosquito net"
"Great staff, everything is brand new & they are working to create more social opportunities. We all went to a local dinner & show together. Beds are larger & comfortable, hot showers & cold AC is perfect after long beach day. Highly recommend staying here in Zanzibar!"
"Only thing that would have been nice is to have soap in bathrooms"
"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."

"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."
