Liked: Staff was very helpful adn the garden was beautiful.

Disliked: It is kind of far out of town. If you want a quiet place to relax, this is it. If you want a place to meet people have a good time, you may want to look elsewhere.

Liked: robert was such an awesome host and helped with local transport and recommendations whilst in Arusha. Very secure campsite with full time security / perimeter wall nice breakfast and homey feel

Disliked: only one close food option for dinner, and because its a little bit out of town you may have to get a taxi around after dark

Liked: Excellent place to stay (especially if you want to be out of the city centre). It's only 15 min away by daladala and the manger is an excellent source of information and is exceedingly helpful. She has contacts with a local safari company that operated an excellent safari with a brilliant guide.

Disliked: Distance from town could be a problem for some people.

20 July 2009 Charlene would recommend this property

Liked: Perfect! If you are on a budget and need a clean room, a good meal and helpful staff STAY HERE! Comfortable rooms, excellent security with a gate around the property and lockable cupboards in each room for your valuables. Only a short (and cheap) taxi ride from the centre of town, or public buses will pick you up outside the door. Large breakfast provided if you stay B&B. Lunch and dinner here are very reasonably priced and served in generous proportions. THE STAFF ARE FANTASTIC. Zipporah, the reservations manager, is quick to respond to email enquiries, and helped us find a reliable safari operator. We would have been lost without her advice on local ways - how to get to places, how much to pay for things. I spent 3 weeks in Tanzania and this was by far the best hostel we stayed at.

Disliked: Charlene left no negative feedback.

Liked: We loved everything! Zipporah was super super helpful and made our vacation in Arusha our best experience in all our travels throughout Eastern Africa. The house was beautiful, security was top notch, and the staff was amazing. Just overall impressive, and mush more than what we hoped for.

Liked: Excellant staff - very helpful! Hot showers, clean hostel, good food. The only downside is that it's a bit far from Arusha, but for 10.000tzh you can get a taxi to town (one way). This hostel provides airport pick up, free internet and great safari deals as well.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
