Pros: Every staff member we came in contact with was warm and treated us like family. It was a wonderful visit for my family of 4 (two adults & two children). Our stay was honestly like a home away (very far away!) from home. Upepo guesthouse was clean, comfortable, cozy and uniquely decorated with local art. The outdoor space was beautiful and immaculately maintained with great seating areas, lots of shade and an incredible view. The staff asked about meal preferences and created wonderful meals that we all enjoyed (not easy with teenagers!). My daughter LOVED the mixed fresh fruit deserts. Hearing the waves in the evening was spectacular and watching the tidal changes throughout the day was awesome. Karianne was available for questions and advice at any time we needed. Thank you all for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing! It was our first stop in Tanzania and every aspect of the visit was a perfect transition to a fantastic Tanzanian experience.

Pros: We loved the easy atmosphere, relaxed vibe, bohemian decor, excellent food, and miles of beach to walk.

We worked until midnight in the lounge, and had been swimming in the sea until just before dark with no challenges from the staff. Perfect retreat!

Pros: The location was perfect on the beach in a quiet suburb of Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam city centre is around 30 minutes away by taxi, depending on traffic. Our driver recommended best driving times into town so we had a minimum of delay. It is lovely to relax in the beautiful garden at Upepo, enjoying a drink and watching the sun set after a long day of sight-seeing in town. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner are excellent and served on the verandah overlooking the sea.

Cons: We should have asked for a sea-facing room - the garden/driveway facing rooms are very comfy, but feel rather cramped. Also, the shower doesn't drain properly, and spills into the rest of the bathroom. Just a little lip to keep the water in the shower well would be super.

Pros: Directly on the beach and quite. Nice interior and friendly staff. Very good breakfast.
Cons: Far away from Town centre so you need a taxi to go which cost about 30 Dollar one way. Adding to the cost of the hotel it becomes expensive. Dinner was quite good but too expensive for Tansania. From a hotel of that kind you would expect Shampoo and shower lotion in the bathroom.

Pros: Good location. Nice garden. Lovely bathroom. Good breakfast arrived within 45 mins.
Cons: Service in the evening was appalling, probably the worst I have come across in 12 years of living in Tanzania. We would order something and then after 10 mins the waitress would return and say it was unavailable. So we ordered something else - again after 10 mins we were told it was unavailable. This happened 4 times. The food we had for dinner was poorly prepared, took 1 hr to arrive after the 45 mins it took to place an order for 5 people. Food was not good value for money. Bar service was non-existent. Poor nights sleep as the curtains let in the light from the hallway.

Cons: The rooms need a renovation or at least some freshening since the hotel is a bit old. There was an odour like mold in the room. There was a closet in the room that was so old, badly maintained and smelled bad, I couldn't even think of putting my clothes there. Additionally, there were no mosquito nets at the windows. The location is very nice but not easy to find by the taxi drivers. Maybe they should put some signs.

7.1 Good
Pros: Staff are friendly and speak good english. Location is excellent. The interior garden gounds and restursunt area are very nice and oretty quiet. It's a small family run place without too many guests.
Cons: Rooms are not that nice for the price. They don't have mosquito nets and I wish I had known that before I booked. If you are on the ground floor the noise travels from the bar and staff were not very concious about this in the evening (talking loud, playing music). The breakfast offerings are okay, but not exceptional. Staff are nice but you often have to go and find them (not at the desk). Overall it's worth it for location and the small b&b feel but you probably get more for your money at other hotels if you can find a room for a similar price nearby.

Pros: Kenneth is one of the most friendly, helpful and amazing hosts we have met in the last 6 months of travelling. The place is in the middle of a typical Tanzanian neighborhood but a few hundred meters towards the street you can find buses taking you anywhere.

8.3
Pros: A standard evaluation scale does not describe this gem of an experience, Like dividing by zero, Or infinity? The honest customer service provided by the guest house owner is above and beyond the call of duty. The owner will bring you home from the clubs at 4 am or bring you to the bus or airport at 4 am. He is an avid snorkeler and will bring you to the beach at the best times and locations. And stay for a beer afterwards At this price, you would have to stay with a friend for free and let your friend pay for everything to beat it. Then your friend might not be your friend anymore? LOL Please remember the additional bennis you get here and a tip is appropriate. Additionally- I take issue with frivolous complaints. For example- About what is considered by many Ethiopians, and my own extensive experience, to be the best Ethiopian restaurant, I read a review that complained it had poor customer service, because they had to ask for silverware and it took a while to get. And they didn’t think the waitress spoke much English. INJERA IS the utensil, the whole point is to get a cultural experience, if you don’t want it, go to regular restaurant. Goofballs! at least write an informed accurate review.

Cons: For a lengthy stay, it’s an effort to get enough cash on hand to pay the room bill, several trips to the ATM at the daily limit. Doable but you have to plan ahead. TSh 10,000 is the largest bill, (approx $4.50 US, like carrying $300 in 60x $5 bills -Fat wallet) Or pay in dollars.

There is nothing to do around but we only used the hotel for our flight transit. The staff was attentive. Special thanks to Agnes and Ramadan.
Cons:
7.9 Good
Pros: Great location for airport stop overs. I didn't actually stay the night but used this as a rest stop during an 8 hour lay over. Lovely staff, super great free shuttle, decent food in the small restaurant.
Cons: The noise of planes flying over was very loud. I imagine if sleeping here you would need earplugs!
6.0 Good
Pros: Transfer from and to airport.
Cons: They use winter blanket in the room without any thin sheet which is very hot and uncomfortable during the night. The hotel is close to the airport so it can be loud. There is no mosquito net.
7.9 Good
Pros: The front desk was very very accomodating and apologetic for whatever was not going according to plan and chastised staff to keep it down when I complained. The price was great at $35 for the night and the free shuttle was perfect cos the airport taxis will charge you an arm and leg even though it is just 3km away from the airport.
Cons: I stayed in Room 205. The toilet was literally in the shower area. I also did not like that you could very clearly hear anything happening in the courtyard and the staff/workers are sometimes quite loud. Lastly unfortunately during my stay the TV was not functioning. They also did not have wash cloths which I found odd.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast was watermelon, omelette, chapati, sausage, bread butter & jam and tea or (instant) coffee Staff were very helpful and emailed us in advance offering to arrange a pick-up from the airport Location is just 100m from the airport peripheral fence although around the other side from the main entrance to the hotel (5 min by car)
Cons:
9.2 Excellent
Pros: Good service by reception staff and ideal lay over spot. Very clean.
Cons: The wifi was poor during our stay. The shower head was positioned over the toilet
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Always amazing. So helpful.
Cons:
7.9 Good
Pros: This is a well kept basic transit place, just five minutes’ drive from the airport terminal, (or 45 seconds from the runway as drone flies!) Nothing flash at all but good value for money. They have a good quality vehicle for free transfer to the airport.
Cons: It’s fine!

Cons: The wifi was out, it took is two hours to get to the hotel from the airport, emails requesting a shuttle from the airport went unanswered, the room had cockroaches, had to carry our bags up four flights of stairs, the neighborhood was incredibly loud.
