Fantastic accommodation for those looking for something a bit more quirky! We stayed in the private cabins and loved them! Waking up to the birds, cows and monkeys was fantastic.

Our stay with Cecile and Male was absolutely unforgettable. 🥹❤️ From the moment they picked us up at the airport until the time they dropped us off again, their warmth, kindness, and genuine care made us feel like part of their family. They are the kind of hosts who go above and beyond in every way – thoughtful, attentive, and truly wonderful people who touched our hearts and made our time in Arusha incredibly special. Cecile’s homemade dinners were nothing short of amazing – flavorful, beautifully prepared, and always shared with fascinating stories that made every evening cozy and memorable. Breakfast was fresh, fruity, and equally delicious! The location is perfect – close to the airport and ideally placed for heading out to safari adventures. The house itself is beautifully designed with an authentic and unique style, and the pool is simply stunning. Everything was spotless, with the highest level of cleanliness throughout. We also loved the small touches – fast and free internet, and the magical outdoor fire pit in the evenings, creating the perfect, peaceful way to end the day. Staying here was more than just accommodation – it was a heartfelt experience, a true home away from home. Cecile and Male gave us memories we will treasure forever, and we couldn’t imagine better hosts. ❤️🥹🥲

This villa was everything and more. The staff went out of their way and made my husband's birthday memorable. The decorations for his surprise birthday celebration were on point, the cake, dinner, champagne, everything was perfect. The rooms are spacious. The bed was very comfortable. We had a beautiful balcony with views of Mt Meru. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. I'd recommend their natural juice which was very good. They also have a massage and salon on site. And they had a taxi guy with reasonable rates who drove us whenever we needed transport. Overall I'd 10/10 recommend Villa Arumeru. The hospitality of the staff is unmatched.

The sweetest staff I have ever met! I came with totally dusty suitcases and they instantly started cleaning them for me! The second day I stayed in resting because I had come there from a volcano climb and was tired and they had some minor renovation going on and they decided to stop it for that day, so I could rest!

    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).
