Swahili Villa is like paradise on earth. A few kms from the main road with villas set a short walk back from the city . Photos on the website don't do this place justice it is even better than expected. Food was healthy and delicious plus there is a good selection of wines. Every staff member goes above and beyond to make your stay special. Hawa and Farida you really made our stay memorable and we thank you again.

Safari Villa I’d located close to the main road into town and to the airport. It was clean, well organized and the staff were awesome! The facilities were great and the owner, George, was very helpful. I was there on a Sunday and wanted to attend mass so he arranged everything for me!

I have only good words to say about this place. The bean soup with chapati I had for dinner was the best I've had in Tanzania. Super clean room and very comfortable bed. Strong and reliable wifi. But the best thing is the care I was treated with that made me feel special. The next day I had to catch a flight from Arusha airport, and I asked if they could arrange the transfer. They said they could for 20 dollars, and considering it was only about 2kms away, I said it was an unreasonable price, even by western standards. They said they couldn't do it for less because the driver wouldn't accept less. The next morning, the owner, Ricky, told me she would have driven me herself for half the price. On the way, she got a call from the guesthouse where they found my hat I had forgotten in the room. They sent someone who brought it to me while we were on our way. Just to tell how much they care. Thanks Ricky.

It was an amazing stay from the start to the end. We booked the pick up from the airport to the hotel direct with Anton. Later we booked also the Safari and the climbing to moumt Meru with Anton. He offered us those activities for a very fair price and everything was perfect. We also had to move the dates for the stay for one day without any problems. Anton was very friendly and organized everything for us. He also went with us for dinner, showed us around and helped us with every question we had. We will for ever remember the stay in the Savannah House

Loved loved loved our stay at Mambo. Highly recommend it if you want an affordable stay while in Arusha. It's a little out of central Arusha but there are plenty of activities on offer through the hostel. Definitely do the coffee plantation tour if you can. The breakfast and dinner meals here were the best local food we had in Tanzania. So delicious!

    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.

    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).
