Our Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor LarsT89Verified Never again The food was good and plenty. This was the only positive thing. At night there was a lot of noise from the surroundings(barking dogs and other animals) (and a lot of Mosque Speakers at 5am)outside our room was bright light the whole night and you could see the outside thru the curtains. Bathroom looked so dirty that we didn't shower. Sink was leaking, (was spraying water out of the top) the doors(room door and bathroom) are metal and make a lot of noise, you can hear the doors from 3-4rooms further, because the doors were stuck. Also the room door has a gap at the bottom of at least 5cm so animals can come inside easily. And someone can lock the door from outside so that you are locked up in your room.Posted on Tripadvisor bakari rVerified Perfect stay I recommend this place Woooow this place is amazing friendly stuff nice bar clean pool really good food too and it is a good place to meet alot of people and it is always fun there and it is very cheap the stuff are very much helpful and are always available perfect stayPosted on Tripadvisor Kelsey LVerified Lovely family run hostel The hostel is run by a lovely family who go above and beyond to help. The owner helped translate instructions to taxi drivers and tour operators and made sure that we were ok. The service was great with tasty food and nice private rooms. There is a nice lounge area to relax downstairs with a cold drink or some nice tea. Great value for money with a simple yet nice breakfast included. It's in a nice quiet spot and is easy to get to the CBD either by walking or by tuk tuk. We would stay there again.Posted on Tripadvisor Ben_BVerified Bargain stay What a great hostel, we booked a dorm for 5 of us. The beds were exceptionally comfy. The food was great, really big portions. The pool was a perfect add on. Recommend this to anyone who wants a bargain. The staff were really helpful and friendly tooPosted on Tripadvisor Tom vVerified PERFECT GO HERE Arusha Safari Hostel provided an incredible experience during my visit. The staff's hospitality, cleanliness, and commitment to a relax atmosphere were outstanding. The hostel's amenities and convenient location made it the perfect choice for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended! I was sceptical because there were not many reviews btw but honestly it was great and there are many travellers here actually. Was here once in may with two other friends and my gf, and now with my mom.Posted on Tripadvisor Mira MVerified Great hostel, great staff Absolutely fantastic hostel for the price. It’s about 10 minutes from the city centre by car/motorbike/tuktuk but it’s still way cheaper to get transport to town everyday than get a more expensive hostel in the centre. The area is very local too so you get to see more of a local side. The staff are really fun and friendly and so helpful and they do delicious cheap food every eveningPosted on Tripadvisor AngelVerified Amazing experience to stay here Best place we have ever stayed. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. it had the best hospitality, rooms were well kept, the location was great, The food and drinks were great .The in-house managers were very courtesy and ready to assist. This was a last minute booking which turned out very well for me. I am looking forward to going back to Arusha Safari Hostel again.Posted on Tripadvisor Julie HintonVerified Very Affordable and Enjoyed every moment Arusha Safari Hostel was my favorite hostel in Tanzania after backpacking for almost 60days in East Africa. There are a lot of things going for it. The rooms are clean and very good priced. Second, the local meals served at a very good price and a very good bar lounge sell Bears and local gin (Konyagi and K vant) also at a reasonably priced. Third the hostel is family-owned and small enough to really get to know everyone includes Nelson the owner and his crazy kids. I have Never met so many cool people at a hostel like at this hostel. I definitely recommended this placePosted on Tripadvisor Logan JacksonVerified Great Hostel with good people This is a great place for solo travelers, genuinely down to earth people here lots of care and passion I stayed one night but felt i needed more nights here. The owner is very friendly and communicative i booked a form room, but they offer me a private room at the same price, a very good lounge place where you meet other travelers and watch football in a big scream. The beds are comfortable if a bit rickety, but it’s generally a pleasant environment with a swimming pool, for just 10$ a night its indeed a great value for money. it's a place not to miss to stay while in ArushaPosted on Tripadvisor Cecilia GrayVerified Home out of town The best place though a bit outside the city but gives a glimps of how local Arusha people lives. Great food, fun people. A quiet and cool spot. The staff were always super helpful. Had a kitchen and a bar. Lots of room to hang out or be alone.The place is simply Hakuna matata...
EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Posted on Booking Ziadi8.8Verified Fabulous ☺ EverythingPosted on Booking Nyikuri8.0Verified Very goodPosted on Booking Mwaniki10Verified Exceptional ☺ I liked the ambience, the quietness and the African touch this beautiful has. Its a mixture of comfort and beauty.Posted on Booking Roland6.0Verified PleasantPosted on Booking Ul10Verified Exceptional ☺ 1:Lively environment! 2:Everyone was like family credits to host. 3:Swimming pool was very clean. Everything was bravo wish you good luck. Keep it up Mr Nelson.Posted on Booking Kanarii10Verified Une de nos meilleurs adresses en Tanzanie ☺Ambiance super sympa et détendue, accueil très chaleureux par une équipe serviable et dynamique, nombreux espaces détente extérieurs, certains à l'écart au calme, d'autres communs avec bar, télé, wifi...Piscine agréable pour se détendre et se rafraichir en rentrant d'un safari. Bon petit déjeuner, diner végétarien le soir pour 5000 TSH. ☹Bien sûr on peut faire des critiques, tout n'est pas parfait, mais à ce prix, vraiment, il ne faut pas demander la lune !Posted on Booking Ilyes10Verified Always a pleasure to stay there ☺ The staff, the place, the price, the general ambiance, travellers who come to stay one day or few days with whom we can exchange, discuss and find good plans (great encounter). It is not a Hostel where they will try to sell you safaris or tour around but they can organise it, they can help you and they are always welcoming! ☹ A little bit far from the city, but transports can be easily found and the staff can help you for that. The WiFi connection can be poor but still usable.Posted on Booking Jonas9.0Verified SuperbPosted on Booking Edzus117.0Verified GoodPosted on Booking Christina6.0Verified Social, fun vibes, but get tours elsewhere ☺ This is a very social hostel. I met a lot of cool people there. ☹ I would not recommend booking tours through the hostel. When booking a trek to Kilimanjaro, we had been talking to the hostel staff about it as well as several other providers. After we told them at the hostel that we had already booked through a different company, they had people come the next day and try to fit us with gear and get us to pay in cash for a tour through them. Luckily we reached out to the people we booked with and got confirmation that they had not sent anyone to our hostel, so we didn't end up paying.
