Pobox 122 duluti, Shangarai, Arusha, Arusha, Tanzania –

Nice and very quiet. Very clean, great and friendly staff on site. I recommend using the stand up shower, it was in better condition. The staff were very very friendly and helpful. We had Masai (security guard) escort us to get water on our first night and he also did a supermarket run for us as well which was really helpful. The driver was often available and he was very helpful as well.

Loved Evanaly and his staff! They went the extra mile to make sure all our needs were met in a timely manner. My husband Raul and I were on our honeymoon and we simply loved the hospitality and care we received...best honeymoon ever thanks to this amazing team. Evanaly, his wife Olivia, Eva, Keylo our driver and other support staff transported us to major sightseeing venues throughout Tanzania. We were so blessed and thankful to God for finding this apartment!

The location was a bit intimidating upon driving in, although the house itself was behind high walls and had a nice view of banana trees. The water did not drain quickly from the bathtub, which dammed up a bit when showering in the bathtub
Breakfast was great, facilities are beautiful and fairly new.

Hard to find, didn't seem too safe on the way in. Asked for a taxi at 14:00 (check out was 11:00), this was agreed, got kicked out at 13:00 with no prior notice.
Turned out to be very safe inside and a fantastic stay.

Poor location choice. Literally right in the middle of the slums. Picture made it seem like it was a nice location with other similar styles houses close by. However, upon arrival I thought I was in the wrong location and it made it very hard to enjoy our stay because the neighborhood was very isolated and far from town/city life. We basically ended up in the village next to an orphanage. Not exactly what I was expecting, but I guess that’s what you get when you pay $42 a night. Unless you are looking for that isolated experience, I wouldn’t recommend it. Budget wise, it was a good deal for the place itself (not considering the location). The pool looked like no one had cleaned it in about 6months. The WiFi was TERRIBLE!!!! Took us 2nights (48hrs) to download a movie on Netflix. I recommend buying your own data/SIM card.

They booked another group of people to stay in the apartments above who had a very loud 20th birthday party which didn’t finish until 12.30 when we really had had enough. That’s not acceptable when other people are staying.

The mosquito net has still a gap below and hanging from the ground where the mosquitoes can still find a way to enter inside. The sink was a bit clogged in our room with the balcony of where we stayed. The pool was not cleaned when we are about to use it as there are few insects floating in the water, which is normal for an outdoor pool. The directions in google map was confusing.
We were absolutely satisfied with their good service and the cleanliness of the property. We really enjoyed the view and extremely had a good relaxing stay. The management were so prompt of answering our queries and very helpful.
