Positive: The host was a super nice lady :) I was alone in the hostel and she gave me some options where I would like to sleep also she gave me recommendations where to eat local. We talked for a while she is really friendly and nice. The place is clean and tidy. Also I had a good sleep there are fans all around even above the bed. She let me leave my beg after check out and collect it later because I had an evening flight. I really would recommend this place. Was a nice experience :)
Negative: No little lights above the bed :( that would also be nice to have so light if you want to read.
Summary: Great experience!:)

Positive: I stayed at Vuga Hostel in Stone Town for a couple of days and had a really lovely experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The place is clean and well-maintained — from the common areas to the bathrooms. My bed was absolutely beautiful and incredibly comfortable, which made it easy to relax after exploring the town.
