Privacy, Availability, and Flexibility of the Host Upon arrival, I experienced a power cut at the condo. I contacted my host, and within five minutes, both hosts came to assist me and resolve the issue. They even offered me another condo so I could rest comfortably, knowing that air conditioning is essential in Dar. I truly appreciated their promptness, flexibility, and thoughtful gesture.

Clean cute small flat, very central to transport anywhere you are going. Staff and host were just great people, really attentive. All essentials were in the flat and it's a very safe and peaceful area with shops in walking distance. Will definitely be calling again and again as it's just a great place to stay. No negatives, in my opinion.

    Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

    One of the cheapest hotels in Dar Es Salaam and for that price you get a basic but clean room and bathroom, airconditioning, TV, good wifi, a basic breakfast, a central location and above all I found the staff extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Even the manager came to say hello. Recommended for those on a budget!

    The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
