Avis GALLIVANTERS HOSTEL Dar Es Salaam

Social and great hostel!

Tolles Hostel gerne wieder

Staff was not very motivated and helpful.

Location and Pool is good, and the best are the other travelers you can meet there

We booked a 4 person room for 3 people, thinking the whole room would be for us. There was a person inside and the owner told us that the “4th person” of us had the bed in another room. He asked us to convince him. We left after we paid two nights, at least they had the decency to refund one night. Shoes have to be left outside. Too low cost for me. Felt deceived.

Ich war da, wollte einchecken habe ca. 2 Stunden auf eine Preisinfo gewartet...
Hieß ich soll online schauen...
Der Swimmingpool war super, sauber und kühl. Leider kam es nicht zum Geschäft.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Gallivanters Hostel, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. At 50 years old, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from a hostel, but I was pleasantly surprised.

First and foremost, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and peaceful. Sometimes you just want to escape the hustle and bustle, and Gallivanters provided the perfect retreat.

I have to give a special shout-out to Kibe, the manager. He went above and beyond to make my stay special. Kibe took time out of his busy day to show me around and even recommended the most affordable fabric shops in the area, which I greatly appreciated. His warm hospitality truly made a difference.

The best part? A comfortable bed and a simple, yet satisfying breakfast were included in the incredibly affordable $15-a-night rate. Trust me, finding such a gem in a wealthy neighborhood like Masaki is no easy task. I felt like I had struck gold!

The hostel even has a pool, which was a lifesaver during this Dar Es Salaam heat wave. And for a solo female traveler like myself, the dormitory with an ensuite bathroom was a blessing.

What surprised me the most was how well the room's air conditioning worked. It was so cold that I had to request a second blanket – crazy right lol.

Anyways, Gallivanters Hostel is affordable and the location is perfect literally all the best cafes, bars and restaurants are walking distance. If you're looking for a tranquil, budget-friendly, and a place that is not trying to sell you every safari trip in Dar Es Salaam with fast WIFI and an accommodating manager, this is the spot for you. I'm already planning my return.

Thank you, Gallivanters Hostel, for making my stay in Dar Es Salaam truly exceptional.

This was one of the worst "hostels" we've stayed in during our time in Africa which is a shame because the location was good & the dorm room not too bad but the service was incredibly poor & hence the one star review. It is all of the little things that matter which end up turning into a bad experience. The check in was embarrassing where we were shown our room & then just left to it. There was no info on the facilities or wifi & when we politely asked it was like it was a hassle for the manager (or owner?). We had people check out & they didn't even bother cleaning the room or those beds. The breakfast was pathetic being a one egg omelette & small piece of fruit so not worth advertising that. We were never sure who was in charge & it was just chaotic, even with a young kid running around. I would not call this a hostel but more like a dysfunctional guesthouse where you're intruding on their space rather than being welcomed in.

Nice place

אחלה מקום, אחלה אנשים!
מומלץ לבוא!

A really pleasant and clean place, kind staff with a pool and a kitchen that is open to anyone who wants to cook! Wi-Fi and breakfast included in the price. We had a great time

Very nice place with a pool and a kitchen where you can cook for yourself. location is good. The staff are very nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

This a great budget accommodation hidden in the heart of Oyster bay.... The accessibility to the beaches and tourist attractions is one big advantage... Pool for cooling off the coastal humid heat and Wi-Fi is pretty fast.
The rooms look better in pics though but it's a great experience.

The staff here are amazing! They helped us so much and were so kind to us. We had problems with our bus and luggage storage and they helped us so much. It’s a very relaxed vibe, clean and very safe. Maybe slightly more tired than the pictures show but still a very comfortable stay which was made excellent by how helpful and kind the staff are!

So cool ????
It’s so green and calm.
Can’t believe to find this in the centre of Masaki ????????
