I recently had the pleasure of staying at Safari Villa, and it was genuinely one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Coming all the way from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 I was deeply moved by the kindness and warmth of the staff. Their care and attentiveness were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. The rooms were impeccably maintained, the meals were delicious, and every little detail of my stay was handled with utmost care. The hospitality here is truly world-class, and I cannot express enough gratitude for how they made me feel at home. If you’re considering a place to stay in Arusha, look no further – this is the best there is. I will undoubtedly return and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special experience.

Stasumo House Arusha

Arusha

3.1 miles from Uhuru monument in Arusha, Stasumo House Arusha features accommodations with access to beauty services.

We loved everything about Stasumo House. The house and the surrounds are beautiful and peaceful with different little areas to relax in..by the pool, in the hammock, day beds in the garden etc. The place is breathtaking at night when the fire pit and garden lights are lit and you can have a beer at the little bar and watch the sun go down with the dogs at your feet. But by far the best thing about Stasumo was our hosts, Cecile and Marley. (and Issah of course) Nothing was enough trouble, arranging transport, cooking delicious dinners, doing our laundry, providing water, irons, bottles of wine etc...we learned a lot and laughed even more. It was a really special, very personal experience. They truly felt like friends for the four days we spent there. Thank you so much for everything. We will treasure the memories.

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 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).
