I recently had the pleasure of staying at Safari Villa, and it was genuinely one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Coming all the way from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 I was deeply moved by the kindness and warmth of the staff. Their care and attentiveness were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. The rooms were impeccably maintained, the meals were delicious, and every little detail of my stay was handled with utmost care. The hospitality here is truly world-class, and I cannot express enough gratitude for how they made me feel at home. If you’re considering a place to stay in Arusha, look no further – this is the best there is. I will undoubtedly return and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special experience.

Good apartment with the best shower I had in Africa, and all the facilities are of good quality. We arrived by bus from far away after 11 pm, and within 10 seconds of ringing the bell, we were already checked into the apartment. The breakfast is good.

The grounds were so quiet, clean and calm. But nothing beats the sweet hospitality of Cecile and Marley. They made sure we had everything we needed and treated us like family. I didn't want to leave! The room was beautiful with lots of space, a great shower and a huuuge bed which we loved. The doggies were such a treat too. I will definitely be returning. I miss Cecile's energy and cooking already!!! Xoxo

Our stay in Dan Stam was great. The communication with Yann was excellent since the beginning and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable. We had a small hiccup with the airport pickup, but it was solved within a short amount of time in the middle of the night! The hotel was reachable and everything got quickly arranged even if it was 2 in the morning. On top of that we had an extra treat from Yann which was highly appreciated and showed how highly he holds the satisfaction of his customoers. Our room was very big and the bed very comfortable and the surrounding garden gave a nice oasis vibe.

We had a great time at Savannah House! We arrived in the late evening after landing at JRO. We spent there just one night before embarking on a safari in Serengeti. We were given two beautiful rooms - they were of great size and very comfortable. The rooms had a universal power plug --- a very thoughtful for international travelers. The bathroom was sizeable, the internet worked very well. The owners prepared a REALLY delicious dinner for us. The dining room was very stylish, and the meal was awesome! Breakfast was really good as well.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

    Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

    Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

    Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
