We showed up in Stone Town with no reservations. As we were sitting enjoying ice cream, trying to figure out what to do a man approached us. He told us to come to his hostel. At first we were very skeptical and sent two of the guys in our group to check it out. Turns out it was a great... More

Karibu Inn is very basic but clean! You have to fetch your towels and sheet at the reception.... The location is great and it is near a bank so you can always ask for directions when you get lost in Stonetown :-D More

When you get there, they're all smiles, they made us pay in advance and then the day after they told us we hadn't pay a penny.....they, i mean the manager, when we told him we're not paying more and that we were staying one night, he started being rude and yelling in front of other costumers......he threw the room key...

This place does not look like much from the outside, but it is located in the heart of the charming alley ways of Stone Town.

Stayed in a 5 bed dorm on the bottom floor, it was very spacious and clean to boot. Standard free breakfast but still filling. More

Only travelling as Backpackers, mostly in Africa, we use to camp or stay in very basic hotels. Karibu Inn is a very basic one. Even if it is well located in Stone Town it's not worth its price at all. 60USD per room, no bed sheets, no towels... More

Karibu Inn had fantastic staff that were so helpful - we even relied on them when travelling to other beaches to book transportation from beach to beach. The location was perfect - so close to everything. The rooms are very basic, and we didn't know we had to ask to have the air conditioner turned on (which resulted in some... More

I stayed here with a mate last year and was pleasantly suprised; the rooms had en suits and were airy and clean, mosi nets provided (although they came with holes, lol) and the staff were pretty helpful. The location was great in the middle of - cafes, shops, the beach/sea, walkable to spice markets etc. Free breakie, ok and almost... More
