The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.

The property was clean and well-kept, and we had a wonderful stay. With the main road currently under construction, I anticipate that access to the property will improve once the work is completed.

A quiet place with very friendly and helpful host. We had two nights of very good sleep here because of the quiet neighborhood. Nevertheless, this accomodation is easy to reach and has a variety of places to eat nearby (Gerald will recommend you some). Also for other kinds of needs, do not hesitate to ask Gerald for help: safaris, tours, transport, breakfast (very tasty!), lunch, dinner... he can help you with almost everything. And if you have some spare time here, spend it in the cosy living room, where you can hang out and have a chat. This is not a hotel with plenty of staff but a lovely, clean and quiet homestay which offers everything you might need for your stay.

OYA Guest House is a charming place conveniently located near the airport, making it perfect for late flight arrivals. We landed at 11:30pm on the Air France flight and had to leave early the next morning for a safari. We couldn’t have wished for a better place to rest before our adventure! It’s just a 30-minute drive from the airport, with comfortable and spotless rooms, and the hosts are absolutely wonderful. We’ll be recommending it to all our friends!

    I really loved my stay here - Innocent is a great host, always going an extra mile to help or accommodate his guests. As it was my first time in Tanzania, he made it much easier for me to get used to it, helped arrange transportation, order food from delicious local restaurant etc. Also breakfast served was delicious!
