Perhaps some more furniture for sitting and spreading out in the room would be a useful improvement.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. We were made extremely welcome on arrival and the lovely staff looked after us very well during our two night stay. The room was large with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast and in house meals were fabulous and served in a welcoming meals area, and there are several spots for relaxing outdoors. The hotel is15-20 minutes from central Arusha with very limited nearby facilities but this was an attraction - surrounded by friendly local inhabitants and farmland and away from the busy city. Could easily have stayed longer.

The surrounding environment of the accommodation is a little worse.

The staff‘s service is very good, and the accommodation is very clean.

Nothing - if you go there: you probably know it’s not located in the city center!

The view to Mt. Meru was special - the room really comfortable and cute style. Especially the staff needs to be mentioned: really doing their best, friendly and heartwarming!

Excellent hotel, worth the drive (slightly further away from the center in a pretty, quiet neighborhood, 15-minute drive from the airport). Spacious and very clean room, furnished with taste (also, huge bed), very friendly staff, excellent food. I loved everything about it!

No hot water for shower, apparently forgot to switch it on 😩

Pleasant room with nice outlook over farmland. Helpful staff dealing with a broken car.

Bathrooms could be a little cleaner

The food was delicious and the staff were all really lovely and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and we were also able to arrange an airport pickup with them.

Amazing hotel, very quiet and clean. The food is fantastic. Service is very friendly. Only 15 min from the airport. They also have a fireplace which was very cozy.

For the price, it was very good! They had some building works going on in prep for high season but it didn’t go on until late nd they were respectful.

Comfortable clean rooms, very welcoming staff and great restaurant. Location is not in main Arusha and you would need to get a taxi to get to Arusha, but we really liked that it was further out and amongst natural beauty. The restaurant were able to make vegan food for me too.

The staff were so good and they were always available to support. We equally loved the facial that we did and how fast the team was in organizing activities for us Ooh and Mpemba the driver is a real guide, we loved him.

This is a very special place. A small scale lodge where you get your own little house. They are large, comfortable and clean. Most people generally stay here only one or two nights as a stop over during the Safari. We stayed a whole week. They really give you the feeling you are welcome, almost at home. Reception and bar are open 24/7. Basically, you can get everything you want there. The main attraction for us was the food. The kitchen here is better than any restaurant that I know of in Arusha. The one thing I can still not believe is the price. It is not even half the price of any similar lodge or hotel in the region. Thank you Yann, Joshepha and the entire team for unforgettable stay ❣️

Internet was quite a challenge if you wholly dependend on that to do your work. But the host was able to give me mifi to use during my stay there. I wish the menu had more variety especially on proteins, for someone like me who likes beef that was not available on the menu for the time i was there. Its also quite a distance from the main city, so if you would like to shop or go into town you would have to do like a 15 minute by taxi or use public means which would take longer.

I loved the friendliness of the staff who went above and beyond to ensure that i was comfortable. I loved the cleanliness of the space and the quiteness on most days. Very delicious food, loved the rice and the beans in coconut milk. Really enjoyed it.

Absolutely nothing. We highly recommend this place!

We booked Dam Stan Hotel as a couple staying for a full week given preparations for moving to our own house in Arusha (flying back and forth in-between the move). And we could NOT have been happier with this choice. The stay was absolutely wonderful, with owner Yann welcoming guests and the hotel's staff going the extra limit to make us feel at home anytime (huge asante sana for Joy and Jozefa here). We will not be needing a hotel in the future anymore, but we will most definitely be coming back just to enjoy the food, atmosphere, a massage and pedicure, and a chat with our wonderful friends there. Can't wait to see you all back soon!

A bit far from the city and on a dirt road, so you need a taxi to get there. A fan in the room would have been helpful but we managed it as it was cooler during the night.

Unique and peaceful place, lovely helpful staff, good food. Relatively close to the airport

An excellent stay, only the shower/bathroom some might find to be basic. Outdoor areas at the hotel had a lot of building/construction materials lying around, but this did not affect our stay.

Wonderful stay near Arusha! The perfect base for safaris and other activties in the surrounding area. Comfortable room and the hotel staff was warm and accomodating. Lots of options, including vegetarian food, in the onsite restaurant.

They are undergoing a lot of renovations but don't be put off as it made no impact on our stay. The Google maps to the hotel sent us the wrong way but they said they were working on it.

A lovely surprise. Location is a bit odd. Great size room. Food was exceptional from fresh juice to home made ketchup. Staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Some rooms need work, some parts of the hotel are still in construction.

The staff is amazing! They are very kind and helpful. Every time we needed something or had something that needed to be solved. They tried their hardest to fix it right away. The hotel is a great project. Amazing food!
