Great location: very close to the center and quiet neighborhood

Location is perfect, staff is really kind and there's something very difficult to find in TZ and it's there in Wakawaka... wifi in the rooms 👌🏾 The owner really cares about your comfy and safety.

The hostel is a house with comfortable rooms, nice beds and locking cupboards for your things. The staff are nice and friendly. It's very clean. I can easily walk to coffee, restaurants and shops. The wifi is good. I stayed here before and after my safari trip. I would recommend it if you want somewhere quiet and chill and don't want a party hostel vibe.

This place attracts like minded intrepid travelers. Met some amazing people from all over. David, the owner, knows so mych about the area and Safaris. The staff was so kind. Did laundry, ate good food around table, and enjoyed the family like atmosphere.

The owners are fantastic. to be clear, there are two properties: wakawaka house and wakawaka hostel. I stayed in hostel one night and David (owner) knew it’d be empty so opted to move me to house where it was more lively. both properties are great, but house is a better location. fast wifi for working, great blankets and pillows on beds. David is more of a a friend than a host and Josephat is extremely accommodating. They will help you book tours

Wakawaka Hostel/house was our home in Arusha for a week. Perfect location, close to several cafes and restaurants. A very calm and silent street. Very comfortable room, hot bath and the staff helped us with everything. Owner David is a wonderful person and he also helps to organize safaris.

Great staff, great owner, great dogs. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was moved from Wakawaka Hostel to the Wakawaka House as the hostel was rather empty. Both places are very close to the center. Would recommend!!

David and Victoria were the best hosts. They are very kind and caring people. They are really trying to make this place feel like home. I enjoyed coming back multiple times after trips around Arusha. They also helped organizing my further travels. There are also some volunteers living there. Victoria cooks breakfast for the guests and also a dinner for the volunteers, which I was invited some times. Even though I booked a dorm bed, I got my own room with a double bed and bathroom. The property is a 20 min walk from the city center, the last 5 min being a dirt road, which bold unfortunately doesn’t recognize as a pick up place. WiFi is working well in the common area.

David is a really nice guy ! wifi and hot water works well and it’s at 10 minutes of walk from clock tower (center of the city)
