Swahili Villa is a gem in Arusha. This place is only around 10-15 min by tuk-tuk to the center of the city, so very good location! The place is small, only 4-5 rooms, and it is taken care by a group of 4 amazing girls that treated us very kindly. They are excellent cooks, and very good company - we enjoyed talks in the fireplace with them, and the two baby cats Simba and Señorita. Breakfast and dinner are delicious and abundant, and you can try many typical food from Tanzania. On the first day we had a late arrival and they waited for us and cooked us some dinner, that was very nice from the girls :) We really enjoyed our time in Swahili Villa and would recommend it to everyone that is staying in the city for one or a few days.

Probably the most comfortable bed I slept in ever (and I sleep in many hotels). Great vibe. Great food. Great people. Great and nicely picked decoration. Cool owner or manager. Super clean!! Silent for the fact that it's so close to the main road

We had an amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal felt like it was prepared with great care and fresh ingredients, offering local flavors. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the biggest highlights was how well they arranged all the transportation for our tours and airport pickups/drop-offs. After a long day out, it was great to come back to such a quiet and comfortable place to rest. I'll definitely be back! Asante sana!

- very friendly staff, let us check in early and kept our luggage when we went on safari - nice breakfast prepared for us each morning - location is good, there's options for cheap local food around and you can reach the inner city in around 30min walking - generally a quiet area - monkeys sometimes visit the property and chill in the inner yard, which is nice to watch

Ligia and Joshua were wonderful hosts. It was like staying with friends. The house was clean; bedroom spacious and comfortable; breakfast of fresh fruits, toast with fresh tomatoes, hard boiled eggs and onions was good; great pets - two lovely African village dogs, Kes and Kira; within 1 km of downtown Arusha. I would be glad to stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The best hostel I've ever been to. The people are exceptionally nice and helpful, the food is amazing and made from local crops, rooms are clean, we also went to the safari organised by them and were very positively impressed. I have nothing bad to say and I'll for sure stay there again if I'm near

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!

This property is fantastic for backpackers, budget travellers, woofers and those looking for an environmental stay. The banana and coffee plantation surround the rooms giving wonderful views. Rooms are basic and clean, with eco-generated hot water and electricity. The tour around the property was reasonably interesting. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
