Arusha hotels

Pros: We stayed 2 nights here after our Safari trip. This is the perfect place to relax, refresh and recover from a long trip. The Hostel is located in a nice and quiet area, and you can walk to some nice waterfalls. The staff is amazing (especially Nam), she even woke up at 4:00AM to make breakfast for us before our flight to Zanzibar.

Pros: We stayed at Mambo for two nights and the service was incredibly friendly and personal. It had a laid back vibe, exemplified by the honour system in paying for drinks and all the meals we had were well-priced and well-portioned as well as tasting fantastic! The thing that stands out most was the helpfulness of Aziz, the owner. He helped book our bus to Dar for 6.30am on the morning we left, and then got up to take us to the stop and wait with us. This was far more than we could have reasonably asked for but he was extremely happy to help. Thanks for an amazing stay, Aziz!

Pros: We had a really nice stay. Food was good, bed was comfortable!!

Cons: A little noisy

Pros: Very Friendly and Efficient Staff. Great Value for Money . Would return and Recommend to others

Cons: Nothing , was as good as expected and little more on top :)

Pros: Lovely clean rooms and facilities. Amazing staff who nothing is a problem for! Food yum, breakfast great.

Cons: Slightly difficult to find, however we used an independent taxi who didn’t know the property - if we had taken the property up on its offer of organising a taxi for us this wouldn’t have been an issue.

Pros: Lovely garden; great staff; amazing food!

Pros: Nam and her brother are such a nice person！The breakfast so plenty and cooked by Nam.The bed is extremely comfortable.The style of the hostel is so relax and feels like in South Asia，feels like at home.I highly recommend this hostel to you！

Cons: Every part are perfect！

Pros: Greeted with delicious fresh juice. Very nice owners. Yummy dinner and breakfast. The beds were really comfortable (our family took the room with the 4 bunk beds) with a private bathroom. We arrived too late and left too early the next morning to explore much so can't comment about location but really cute grounds where you can sit outside and relax. Just what we needed.

Pros: The staff is really nice. She woke up at 5pm to make breakfast for us and arranged a taxi to airport. The food is good. The wifi is good and working. The atmosphere is quiet and well decorated.

Pros: Juliette and Azizi are some of the kindest people! The facilities are excellent and a truly great place to relax after safari or before. Lovely place to stay in Arusha!

Pros: I loved the property and atmosphere - amazing staff, incredible food (loads of banana and other fresh seasonal food), clean room and bathroom, loads of privacy but also a great communal atmosphere with people from all over the world. It is a must do to see the farm and waterfall which is free and such a mind-blowing informative experience. Definitely recommend and wish I had stayed longer. Such good value for money!!!

Cons: Would help to have some signs for direction! Was difficult to find because it is in the middle of nowhere but that is part of the African experience right ;)

Pros: The room is cheap, the place is quiet and clean. They always have bananas for you to eat for free.

Cons: The internet did not work well at the time I stayed. The location is a bit far from the town so it is hard for you to buy a sim card or withdrawing the money from ATM. It costs around $10 for a taxi to drive you from the town to the hostel.

Pros: The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and clean and breakfast was lovely! I wish we had the chance to stay longer.

Pros: Excellent price for the accomodation, amazing breakfast too

Cons: Position is a bit outside the city (15mins) so better arrange a bajaj or a taxi before dawn. Dinner was all right, nor good nor bad

Pros: The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the vibe was very relaxed.

Pros: Great staff, super clean and comfy room, nice atmosphere, it was interesting to visit

Cons: Difficult to find, there is no sign, we think it is because they do not want to pay takes. Food - small portions. Water - coldish.

Pros: Everything else.

Cons: Didn't take credit cards.

Pros: Such a lovely little gem in a peaceful place. The staff were so friendly we we felt at home instantly. Excellent value for money and would definitely stay again!

Pros: Excellent food, friendly staff. A very authentic experience.

Pros: This farm is a wonderful place! :) The accomodation is clean and beautiful with a lot of nice details. :) But the best is the staff. Godwin the owner took a lot of time to show us around the farm which was very interesting and very nice of him. Thanks a lot, Godwin. :) Also Veronica and the rest of the team are very very friendly and helpful. I will defenitely come again to that nice place! :D greetings babsi

Pros: Cooking was excellent

Cons: Bit far without car

Pros: The care-taker, Eddie is the best kept secret in town. He is just the nicest human being - well organized and makes the best meals ever. We stayed for a very brief period but had a lovely and memorable experience

Pros: Amazing location, with stunning garden. The inside design is very typical, reminding a colonial style.

Pros: The home is beautiful and quiet. Eddie is a fabulous cook. Everything was perfect. Best food i’ve Had during my 2 months in Africa. Can’t wait to go back.

Cons: It’s difficult to find and the roads getting there are bad.

Pros: Food here was beyond expectation- especially for the cost, the 3 course dinner ($12) and the eggs made to order for breakfast (complimentary) were awesome. The Researcher's Rest is quiet, contemplative and beautiful.

Cons: Rooms were a little small and stuffy, and the bathrooms are standard. The dinning room and living spaces have character and appeal that blow away anything else I could expect for this price point.

Pros: Really friendly staff, very comfortable house... best dinner we had in our whole African trip

Pros: Exceptional cooking and cleanliness. Beautiful gardens. Lovely rooms. Eddie us an amazing cook.

Pros: Very warm welcome and friendly service. Excellent food, both for dinner and breakfast. The sitting room with view across the secluded garden is very cozy. Room is comfortable.

Cons: The location is a bit hard to reach, especially when arriving at night through the unlit and very rough back lanes.

Pros: Amazing food. Lovely house and Gardens. Room was perfect.

Cons: A bit hard to find

Pros: Hot dinner waiting for us despite really late arrival.

Pros: Very comfortable room, lots of character to the building. Fantastic shower! It's relaxing to sit in the covered patio area. Food was very good. Staff were very accommodating- I had some issues with Turkish Airlines and delayed luggage, staff happily assisted with translation, phone calls etc.

Pros: Can't say enough about the Arusha Residence Boutique Hotel. We arrived late, and they welcomed us at the vehicle, grabbed our luggage, and saw us to the front desk. Checking in was a breeze, and we were shown to our absolutely stunning room. The room was quiet, large, and clean, and the air conditioning was most welcome. The next morning, a beautiful breakfast was served promptly and to order. We extended a night, and had an amazing dinner--the only challenge was choosing from all the amazing choices! The wine list is terrific, too! The staff accommodated our every request, and we booked a third night at the end of our safari. We arrived to discover we'd been upgraded to the suite. The suite was beyond belief...a sitting room, giant bedroom, and a bathroom with a giant tub! There were 3 closets! Again, the hotel and staff swept us off our feet! You just can't do better than this hotel!

Cons: The bed is a bit short for tall people but it’s okay.

Pros: It is a very nice and cozy hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel has beautiful garden and a good restaurant.

Cons: nothing

Pros: We only stayed one night but we loved our stay there. The staff were extraordinarily helpful and especially the food was excellent. We also had to get out early (6am) for a trip and the provided us with a delicious breakfast. Hotel has a very European style, the rooms are lovely decorated and everything was super clean.

Cons: The internet was a little wonky, probably due to weather.

Pros: The perfect place before or after a safari!

Pros: Only stayed one night but Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice room, nice pool, food was very tasty , large portion sizes and well priced. Can’t fault it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Facilities and location

Cons: Needs to invest on maintenance of rooms also reception staff were not friendly

Pros: Everything and particularly excellent staff, nice garden and swimming pool, perfect location, excellent restaurant and breakfast, correct Internet. Real luxury because all is done in good taste, without unnecessary ostentation.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: It was small and in a good location

Cons: The wifi was terrible, there were no lounge chairs by the pool. It is very high priced for a hotel in Arusha.

Pros: Excellent facilities, amazing restaurant, the gracious staff

Pros: The general manager met us when we came in late at night and could not have been any more gracious. The staff is kind and helpful and we felt so comfortable here. Wow talk about hospitality

Cons: Can't think of a thing

Pros: The grounds were really nice; the rooms were spacious; the food was really good. The staff is amazing.

Cons: N/a

Pros: We only stayed at The African Tulip for 1 night. We traveled the next day to Zanzibar. We arranged for pickup at the airport through the hotel. The driver was courteous. The hotel staff were very professional and friendly. The room and bath were very nice. The pool area and garden were beautiful. We would recommend The African Tulip to other travelers.

Pros: From deep down my heart, Jay - the host, deserves a 7 star! That says enough

Pros: It was amazing again lovely dinner friendly staff amazing breakfast . I just love it any thanks to JAy and the team

Pros: nice breakfast, far too much to eat it all, not every day the same. rooms are clean, good beds. If you like you can also eat have dinner (extended at a reasonable price)

Cons: ??

Pros: The hotel is somehow not easy to find, it's very good to have GPS or at least google maps. Coming from north, leave the main road and follow the small road to the left (it goes up a little bit). After like 100m go right into the very small. You reach a black yard gate. Knock or step in and find the lovely Sinzia Villas. Jay plus team are extremely friendly and helpful, welcoming you like family members. If you expect to have a totally anonymous stay, you might want to choose another option. Enjoy a very good breakfast and ask in the night for dinner options. They cook delicious.

Cons: i was only missing a tissue holder at the toilet. Maybe a mirror over the sink might be helpful in the morning when doing the last style for the day.

Pros: A converted house to B&B, we were the only guests during our stays at Sinzia Villas (we stayed before and after climbing). Finding it requires asking around--it's not obvious from the street. But, once found, it was exactly what we needed: It is well-priced, super clean, and the owner, Jay, and staff are very helpful and attentive. We ate SO well and had great dinners ($7 pp) and big breakfasts (included) every night and morning, respectively. Jay also stored some bags for us, which helped us out a lot. Please note, it is about a $5 cab ride to Arusha city center.

Cons: While absolutely functional (and particularly glorious after climbing), I would say that the bathroom in our room was a bit of a work-in-progress--it's missing a toilet seat and mirror. The shower is also a bit of trickle.

Pros: Great breakfast. Nice staff, spent evening watching movies together. Clean and basic.

Cons: No bug nets over the beds. Bitten by mosquitos during the night.

Pros: Super friendly and accommodating staff. Very much appreciated their help with booking taxis and airport pick-up

Cons: I think they need to have mosquito nets -- I got a few bites at nite. Offering a fan would also be great because it was a bit warm at night.

Pros: The staff were super friendly and welcoming and the chef made us incredible food! Very impressive.

Cons: A fan in the bedroom would’ve been nice as it was a very hot sleep. But it was still very comfortable.

Pros: Staff was very welcoming.

Cons: Hidden location.

Pros: It is a homely stay with welcoming hosts. It is more like a AirBnb then a hotel.

Pros: People are very Nice and helpfull Good bed

Cons: Location

Pros: The owner and the people living there were very helpful. I stayed in the deluxe room with shower which was very clean and comfortable.

Cons: The hostel is located in a local neighborhood. I did not go out walking after sunset. Yet you can take a taxi to town. Walking would take about 20 minutes.

Pros: The place is comfortable and clean if you're planning to stay for a long time

Cons: The atmosphere doesn't look like a hostel one, I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to meet people

Pros: Everything! An amazing stay - Pearl and Emmanuel are fantastic hosts!!

Pros: Friendly staff, cheap washing ☺️, kitchen to cook your food in, yummy breakfast, comfortable beds, homely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Cons: Wifi was very weak.

Pros: Hospitality, cleanness, atmosphere

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great breakfast - fresh fruit, pancakes, toast and omelette! Pearl and Emmanuel were very welcoming and had good tips for eating nearby. Room was very comfortable and all really clean.

Pros: Emmanuel, the owner is amazing. He took us himself to a breathtaking waterfall hike and coffee plantation tour, which was out of the world. My wife got an amazing braiding of her hair, we met very nice people in the hostel. Christine, the caretaker of the hostel is very friendly and takes care of the laundry, and can even get you stuff from the supermarket. Food cooked in the hostel was very good. Overall I think it was an excellent stay.

Cons: Speed of the wifi.

Pros: The breakfast, the nice staff, good WiFi, very clean, very nicely equipped with large living room, you feel very safe, free drinking water,...

Cons: Nothing to complain about, this is a really welcoming and nice place (:

Pros: The owner - girl speaking Swahili seems to be great person, but stuffs are not good.

Cons: - slow wifi, sometimes does not work - distance from Arusha, better to stay in Arusha for more money and save for overprized taxi - don't take tours provided by hostel, it's rip-off - just one toilet for all the rooms and apartments. - the stuffs try to cheat

Cons: It is really loud at night. They have many conferences and weddings, which take the overhand and are at the expense of hotel guests.

Pros: The F & B Manager made a point of contacting me to hear my complaint direct.

Cons: The pillows were old and had a bad smell. The food at breakfast was not replenished in time on 2 consecutive days of operation, this was brought to the attention of the F & B Manager. There are long delays in serving the tea and coffee.

Pros: Beds are hard. Property needs a bit of upkeep, especially for the price. Closet doors broken, fridge stinky.

Cons: Staff appears to be trained to be very abrupt. Not unfriendly or disrespectful, just stand offish which is contrary to the general population attitude

Pros: The lobby the restaurants and the garden are exceptional very well maintained .

Cons: I find that my room was not well maintained there was peeling paint and other things wrong inside the room maintenance needs to be upgraded throughout the rooms and the floors

Pros: Amazing views

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good service at all and friendly staff

Pros: I have stayed here before and always like the convenience of the hotel and that it's a mere 20 minutes drive to/from airport (without traffic), fairly close to everything else and that there's always taxi's available outside the gate, the rooms are adequate and clean.

Cons: This time around I was really disappointed with the staff and the reception. I respect the fact that I'm a visitor in their country and that English is their second language, but it was a struggle to communicate with them at reception. In a nutshell, 4 calls later to reception, 2 trips down to reception, 1 trip back up to the room with someone showing them what I need, 1 hour later I got a plug for my bath, yes, all that for something that should have taking 10min to sort out.The lady at reception just didn't understand?!! Even the waiters at breakfast where all so letharigic and we had to go look for someone to bring us some coffee. This is usually not the case at this Hotel. Maybe it was the weather?..rainy and cold (which was lovely by the way!)

Cons: the food could be better

Pros: It was is a ‘generic’ type hotel, very comfortable, clean and safe. Could be anywhere in the world really!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The variety of the spread of the breakfast is perfect. The Room is clean and comfortable.

Cons: The bathroom would be better with shower curtain or door to sperate the shower area from dry area.

Pros: Staff are lovely, place is peaceful, clean and the full board is such a bonus! Thanks again :)

Cons: Its a short 20 min walk into town, so not central, but the location sits of a little stream which is pretty.

Pros: The food that the chef made was delicious!!! Absolute bonus that all 3 meals are included during your stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Thmade me feel at home. A relaxed atmosphere with great people.

Cons: The cleanliness in the bedrooms could be slightly better. The floor was quite dirty.

Pros: 3 delicious meals per day included in the room charge It was always clean The area for socializing was perfect There were mosquito net in the dorms The staff was very helpful and very friendly (Junior and Bernadette) There was a nice and comfortable garden

Cons: The the water in the shower was a bit slow

Pros: Comfortables beds, good food, relaxing outdoor seating area, friendly staff

Cons: Not the best location of town if you want to be outside at night

Pros: We used the White House of Tanzania as a base before and after our Safari. It's been great! It's a small family bussines. All the staff is very friendly and the food is great (if you like you can have breakfast - lunch and dinner, all included in the price!). The house and especially the bathrooms and toilettes are very clean. There is a great garden area were you can relax and hang out. I def. recommend staying here and I would stay again!

Pros: Three delicious meals a day included.

Cons: The heavy rain ran under the door and soaked our belongings.

Pros: I stayed here with three friends before and after our Safari. All the staff were really helpful and accommodating. Catherine was very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. The beds were comfortable, the showers were warm and there were loads of nice places to chill. A delicious dinner was also included on each night which was great as it is about a twenty walk to Arusha town.

Pros: The common area is quite nice. The stay includes breakfast and dinner for free which was very nice. Even though the surrounding area is not the best we felt save in the guest house because it is secured.

Cons: The location of the hostel is in a quite bad area. The street there is so bad that some drivers don't want to drive you there. And you don't want to walk around there when it is dark.

Pros: Best staff, great atmosphere, food is good (and included in the price!), I loved staying here!

Pros: Having all meals included was a big plus (but keep in mind they’re fairly basic and you may want to supplement them with your own groceries). The staff were nice and worked very hard to keep the hostel clean and comfortable for guests. They have 2 dogs that are friendly.

Cons: A bit out of the way, but fine if you don’t mind taking a taxi or walking for 15-20 minutes to get into town.

Pros: It was home away from home. No disturbance from the bussy city noise and convenient to and from Arusha town. Can't wait to visit again.....

Pros: Staff is friendly. When we asked for a musquito net they provided one, there were musquitos in the room. Not standard service.

Cons: Bedsheets, towels not clean. Also the blanket they provide is without any extra sheet, very unhygienic. The shower/bathroom is shared, very bad shower without any pressure and we had to squat because it is very low.

Pros: This place is unbelievable ,We had the best moment with the staff they are super friendly .We got all the tips about Arusha and what to see :) around the house the atmosphere is super calm and quite it like a home away from home see you soon again Hekima

Cons: Nothing to complain sorry :)

Pros: The staff is amazing! We immediately felt at home. We stayed at Hekima, because we also did safari with them (which we loved!). We were happy that we did so, as we were able to leave our luggage there during the safari. We were given free dinner and water. The food is delicious and usually they cook local food. We would definitely recommend Hekima house!

Pros: Homely feeling, good wi-fi, cheap.

Cons: Far from town, not clean, very loud prayer tower close by (starts at 5AM).

Pros: Amazing hospitality. Personal make dinner for us for free.

Pros: We stayed at Hekima cos we were recommended their safari service. We booked for one night , had our safari arrenged (super helpfull stuff and the service was actually beyond expectations). Than we came back for one nigt to Arusha again and were welcome like family members. Hekima Team is young, very friendly and they did the best to help us with all our questions and needs. I can give my high recommendation :)

Pros: This place is the best as well they have safaris company which they have very nice service #GoHekima

Cons: Nothing :)

Pros: We got recommendaction from some accidentaly met backpackers. Staff in the House was extra helpful, beds comfy and the cleanig was provided every day. Ladies made us awesome brakfast and one evenig we shared with other guest local meal orginzed by hostel stuff. They organized for us as well bone fire. Durig our stay we met other travelers who just came from safari made by Hekima and after doig reaserch, at the end we decided to book our 4 days safari trip with them. It was stunnning!!! and Jackson did his Best to organize for us everything within just two days! I never expected to see such hospitability :)

Pros: The breakfast was amazing the people and i had a very good time in the house with nice kitchen and house facilities was good this was just like home away from home i wish to stay at Hekima house next time.

Pros: Note: I stayed here firstly for 2 nights and then another night after my safari, in two different rooms. The property is located too far from the town to walk, so luckily there is a restaurant open all day with a large range of food, including all day breakfast. The outdoor restaurant area is also nice to sit in and generally the WiFi works there, although the view of the mountain is mostly obscured. I like to drink something that the property doesn't sell, and they let me store my drink in the kitchen fridge and drink it with my meals. I had trouble both booking a Safari and a subsequent flight, the manager helped me to find a Safari through Mauly Tours which turned out to be amazing and one of the staff went beyond her duties to help me get in contact with the airline. The hotel can also organise airport pick ups and drop off which can be paid to them, meaning you can pay by credit card. I enjoyed both my stays here, while both rooms had their quirks, it was nice enough being somewhere peaceful and safe with helpful staff and good food.

Cons: Note: I stayed here firstly for 2 nights and then another night after my safari, in two different rooms. On the second stay, which was in an outside room, there were no blinds or coverings over the top windows, making it hot in the daytime and too light in the morning. The first room, inside and upstairs, had problems with the TV and internet and a really old appearance.

Pros: The Boulevard Inn Mount Meru offers very good quality accommodation and food for its price range compared to the many other hotels in Arusha that charge about double the night. They might not have the full luxury (SPA, swimming pool, etc.), but the beer garden, variety of food and staff is compensating for that. The breakfast can be chosen a la carte and is far above expectations for a hotel in this price segment.

Cons: A minor issue: The staff is playing a music playlist that after a couple of days is a little irritating, as it repeats itself every day. Access to downtown Arusha is a little bit further, 15 min walk - but no problem with a taxi, motorbike or tuktuk.

Pros: It was a very quaint place to stay. They took great care of us.

Cons: The area around the Hotel was a little concerning. I did feel safe to walk around.

Pros: The hotel has a very cool and big outside restaurant, the hotel is very stylish and comfortable.

Pros: The Boulevard Inn offers many great perks. The staff if amazing, the food is wonderful, and the view of Meru (when it peeks out of the clouds) is great. I found the rooms to be well appointed and comfortable and will definitely be going back for dinner and drinks overlooking Meru while I'm still in Arusha!

Cons: There wasn't somebody always promptly attending the front desk, so I waited there for a little bit to check out. Definitely hot a huge problem.

Pros: Big rooms, close to center, amazing view, chill out sitting areas

Cons: Repeat on music button, same music all the time....but it was not a big issue. Tip for hotel: bring sofaes to balconies

Pros: Little place for our last night in Arusha. Cool bar and restaurant with nice view. Huge room good value for money. Girls who work there were super sweet and helpful. Went out of their way to assist us. Would def stay there again

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Secluded location, very quiet

Cons: Restaurant was not a good value, But convenient

Pros: Watching sunset over Mt Meru from a swinging bed in the garden... Can't beat it.

Pros: Comfy bed. Lots of chill out spaces to sit eg. balcony and outside. Location is good.

Cons: Water did not work in the bathroom for 3 nights! Card machine not working. Very basic breakfast. Place is not very clean.

Pros: The atmosphere was incredible!

Cons: Nothing at all! No complaints!

Pros: Very friendly staff, comfortable beds.

Cons: Location, its a bit out the city centre but fine by short taxi drive.

Pros: Food was good. Quiet. Property was beautiful. Staff was great.

Cons: No hot water. Bed was really hard.

Pros: The staff were kind and helpful. Amazing and accommodating host.

Pros: The atmosphere of villa poa made you feel like home. The staff was friendly, the breakfast very tasty and the fact that you can take drinks and note it done on a list created an atmosphere of trust. After a day of meetings or fieldvisits I could come back in the tranquility of villa poa and get some work done thanks to the good wifi.

Cons: I came often in late and left early therefore I didn't see the owners often (And I finally had to search someone to be able to pay when I wanted to leave early in the morning)

Cons: The beds were very comfortable. BEWARE- do not get your laundry done here. The women is a scammer and did a crappy job. Everything else was great.

Pros: Really friendly and helpful staff. Clean and cozy rooms, and a nice seating area outside on the balcony. A very nice area even though it was a little bit out of town.

Pros: Very friendly staff. Food was freshly prepared. The owner provided a shuttle at an affordable price... Home away from home!!!

Pros: Africa Amini Life is absolutely gorgeous and secluded place!!! We fell in love with it!!! It is located just behind Arusha National Park and far from the city and crowd which gives you an amazing opportunity to relax in the heart of nature among mountains, beautiful forest, singing of birds and other animals. Africa Amini is a charitable project set up by an Austrian lady to support local community (they built school, hospital, orphanage and other facilities). Nature Homes is one of the hotels that belongs to the project. These are few houses located on the hill with a view of Mt Meru from your porch. The team of the hotel will make your stay impeccable. Chef Ellie was cooking delicious breakfasts and dinners for us which were server on our porch. There is also a fire place that AAL team will be happy to arrange for you every evening. Nature walks, mount climbing, safari also can be organized. There is a very nice restaurant with good food and a view that belong to AAL. It is in a little distance from Nature Homes so either you can walk or staff can drop you there. The lodge itself is very beautiful, cozy, clean and spacious. There was hot water, wifi, many books and anything you need. Important note : the easiest way to get to the hotel is through Arusha National Park. I would recommend to do safari in the park on the way to the hotel to avoid paying park fees twice. And keep entry tickets till the day you check out from the hotel so that you can use the same road through the park again for a small fee. There is another road but it took us more than 2 hours to get to the main Arusha-Moshi road from there as we didn't keep the receipts and they wanted to charge us the whole park entry fees. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time, and would recommend the place to our friends. Great thing is that you not only having an amazing vacation but also doing a little support to a charitable project. Thank you!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The room was amazing, big, comfy, great bed, view, very relaxing! The food prepared by staff was fantastic, well served and timely. It's a fantastic place to sleep and rest!

Cons: We had made a transfer pick up a reservation with Naki, who confirmed the pickup and later when we arrived in Arusha they were not there. We called Naki with the phone of the taxi drivers who stay in front of the airport, but she didn't pick the phone. Later, we managed to speak to her but we were told that our transfer hadn't been arranged and that the driver would be late. We went for a local driver, who helped us at the airport and that took nearly four hours to get to the guesthouse. For those who come after a 20 hours flight, four hours to get to the guesthouse was quite a stretch. The local drivers do not know the way (even if they say they do) and we were lost for hours without food, water, etc. We found this very disrespectful as we had received the confirmation from Naki and had informed her the same morning we flew to Arusha that our flight was on time. It could have been a pleasant journey if our agreement had been fulfilled. I hope this critical feedback helps the guesthouse to improve this service, which is essential considering the remote location they have.

Pros: Extremely friendly staff. Good food and service.

Pros: The project is fabulous they built an hospital, school, orphanage, all the village goes better thanks to amini life ! When you go there you help the whole community ! Everybody is amazing there. The view is also perfect, a quiet place to rest and disconnect.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Difficult to find

Pros: The place is amazing ! Would definitely come back despite how difficult the roads are to be there.

Pros: I liked the view, the food was nice and the care we had from stuff.

Cons: nothing

Pros: The perfect view. very halpful and friendle staff. It`s not tipical hotel but place is like country house. It`s a few houses near local village. In the village there is a bast place for having lunch; under huge tree, with Kilimanjaro view (tasty and cheep meal). The house is cosy. There is no any noise, very calm place! good wifi

Cons: You can have many troubes with road to hotel: for fast way you should pay Arusha park fees, Transfer which is provided by hotel costs approximatly 100 dollars one way and requires 1-1.5 hour. Taxi drivers don`t know the right way!! First time our trip took 4 hour!!! Be careful: arter airport you should go to the right (road to Moshi) or if you go at direction to Arusha, you sholg go througt it and after that tirn right! There is a third way to hotel: turn right before Arusha. Dont`t choose this way! The road is awful! It consists of potholes only!! Safari tours are a little bit expensive

Pros: room too small for Two single beds Swimming pool not clean so cannot swimming Fitness room 1/3 out of order Driver for transport to airport ask payment to himself and hotel ask payment when checkout then the driver not happy, this is confused and feel unsafe for a traveler

Cons: As above

Pros: Employees are very friendly and warm

Cons: Would be nice to have Tea & Coffee served to the table in a 5 Star hotel, so do not have to server self from buffet.

Pros: Food and Staff are excelent. Room's shower and cleaning were really nice.

Cons: Laundry service I think can be much better how they return clothes Pool and pool area were not really usable

Pros: The enviroment was very clean, the room was comfortable.Enjoyed the free coffee and tea in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: no water to boil the coffee had to get some from the restaurant.

Pros: Prompt in responses, this is something that most hotels take for granted. kudos to your communication team.

Cons: The price
