Friendly and very helpful staff. Good and quiet neighbourhood and very convenient. Good value for money. Breakfast was very filling and the dinner was delicious. They dropped us early for the marathon which was soo kind. The beds are comfortable and room's are spacious. They provide towels and toiletries. Generally, a very good stay and will return.

Great atmosphere and really nice common areas. The breakfast is good, and the room had everything we needed. Just keep in mind to bring cash in USD — paying by card or in euros ends up being more expensive.

Everything! This accommodation was by far the best one we stayed at during our 3-week trip to Tanzania. It features a lot of facilities, including a large and very clean pool, beach volleyball net, slacklining, a treehouse, a bar and restaurant and very well-laid out sunbeds and umbrellas. The WiFi connection was great too. The food at the weekly Wednesday BBQ was abundant and very varied. Breakfast was very tasty, as expected. Overall a great stay 10/10!

An unforgettable journey filled with authentic Tanzanian culture and the warmest hospitality. The breathtaking views of Mount Meru and the endless plains made every moment magical. From the heartfelt traditional welcome to the immersive nature walk, where we engaged closely with villagers, every detail was special. The highlight? Savoring perfectly roasted goat, fresh from the open fire—a taste and experience to remember forever. Huge thanks for organizing an incredible seven-day safari, ideal for budget travelers or those seeking an amazing group adventure!

The staff were amazing, very welcoming, and they did everything to make our stay great. I liked their swahili food it was very delicious. The environment is more decorated with African Colours. I highly recommend it for a night stay in Arusha.
