Safe area
Supermarkets and a Mall is not far away, some day trips might be cheaper to book at the hostel instead of booking with an agency. I felt always safe when I was walking outside even that the hostel is on a main road without many buildings around. The WiFi was pretty good inside my room.
Communication on what’s app before my arrival time was a bit complicated as I had to ask many times for confirmation and to get some informations. At the end my booked trip on my arrival day to Amboseli park didn’t work and I had to wait one day more to do that trip. I think it was not pretty much my vibe in the hostel but at least the people were friendly and it’s a good low budget option for a few days in Nairobi.

Don’t expect anything ! The owner of the house is the awful part, she will never accommodate you. Totally disrespectful
No power expectations, no hot shower, not good breakfast

Excelente hostel
Os espaços do hostel sao muito aconchegantes e confortáveis. O cafe da manhã é muito gostoso e bem servido. TODOS os funcionários do espaço sao educados, prestativos e atenciosos. As camas sao bem maiores que as camas de solteiro (convencionais em hostels). A localização é otima, da pra ir num shopping a pé (supermercado, M-pesa, ATM) e a vários pontos turisticos de matatu ou uber sem pagar muito. Tudo é MUITO limpo.

Liebevolle Backpackerunterkunft
Lage im sehr sicheren Westlands, Außenbereich (gut um mit anderen ins Gespräch zukommen)/ Hängematten, super nette Inhaberin mit wertvollen Tipps und einer liebevollen Art
Keine Moskitonetze, liegt direkt neben der Straße, Frühstück könnte abwechslungsreich sein

Great atmosphere, nice location and fantastic host.
I loved staying at Jabulani. The location in Westland is good, (though a bit hard to find for taxis etc.) Probably because It’s new. Susan is the best host ever. She helps with everything and organized a fantastic safari trip to Masai Mara for me as well. The hostel is quite small, the atmosphere great and people tend to come back all the time. Reunions and hugs. Shopping malls, atm’s, restaurants etc is just 5 minutes walk away. I will for sure come back.

Definitely worth the price and exceeds expectations for solo and group travelers
Location is perfect and central to a lot in the Westlands. Safe hostel with a good group of international guests. The host Susan is very knowledgeable and relatable in providing guests with important info about Nairobi and places to go. Laundry being available to guests is clutch for nomadic travelers.
Could have more vegan/vegetarian options for guests who don't eat meat and wifi can be spotty if you are a digital nomad or remote worker.

TRUE SPIRIT OF THE HOSTEL LIFE/BACKPACKING! SPLENDID! EXCELLENT! CLEAN! COMFORTABLE! 👌 ♥️
Jabulani reminded me of the reason why we all travel; even with the focus of staying to explore and experience new places, for me it's about calling a place home. Making new friends that bonds for a lifetime. And Jabulani is the perfect place to do that. I think Susan, and her kind heart makes this much more comfortable for every traveller in Jabulani. Would always come back to NAIROBI to stay here.
