The hospitality and kindness of the staff makes you feel at home right away. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great. It's like finding a little special oasis. Anthony went beyond all our expectations to make us feel like home and help us organize our safari and Mt. Meru trip. The Serengeti villa is gorgeous too!

Serengeti Villa is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed and at home. The property is beautifully maintained and offers a peaceful, green environment that truly feels like an oasis in the heart of Arusha — the perfect place to unwind after the excitement and long days of a safari. The bungalows are simply lovely: spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with great attention to detail. I loved waking up surrounded by nature and enjoying the calm atmosphere. Every corner of the villa is thoughtfully designed to create a relaxing experience. The food was another highlight — fresh, delicious, and served with great care. Every meal was a treat. But what really makes Serengeti Villa stand out is the people. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like part of their family. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful place to relax before or after your safari, Serengeti Villa is the perfect choice. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Arusha.

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.

Our stay in Dan Stam was great. The communication with Yann was excellent since the beginning and the staff did everything to make our stay comfortable. We had a small hiccup with the airport pickup, but it was solved within a short amount of time in the middle of the night! The hotel was reachable and everything got quickly arranged even if it was 2 in the morning. On top of that we had an extra treat from Yann which was highly appreciated and showed how highly he holds the satisfaction of his customoers. Our room was very big and the bed very comfortable and the surrounding garden gave a nice oasis vibe.

    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).
