Swahili Villa offers the perfect blend of tradition and luxury. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the local culture. We enjoyed the beautiful coastal views, cozy rooms, and fresh Swahili dishes every day. The attention to detail was impressive—from the handcrafted decor to the personalized service. We left with unforgettable memories and can't wait to return!

Top to bottom excellent quality in service, food, staff, rooms are beautiful and spacious and clean, pool and gardens are really spectacular and restaurant is probably the best in Arusha with unbelievable views of Mount Meru, this property is head and shoulders above the rest in Arusha and well worth the splurge to start or finish your adventure in Tanzania.

Loved my stay at mufasa city hostel. I stayed in dorms and rooms both. And they both are a very good value for money. I booked with them thrice. The place is secure and safe for female solo travellers, naomi and other staff members are very helpful and welcoming. The beds are comfortable and the view of Mt. Meru from the terrace is exceptional. Highly recommend this place if you are in arusha!

It was brilliant! Bungalow is cozy with a place outside to chill and have a tea. Delicious food! Cute 2 cats On the top of all this is a unbelievably nice staff. They did our stay here spotless. In advance they helped us with our safari tour so their kindness is also outside of their accommodation Thanks a lot!

Mina Chai is an exceptional budget option for travellers. We stayed for a couple of nights and were looking for a quiet place to stay, equally far away from the city centre and airport. What amazed us was the incredibly kind and helpful staff - Lucy took time out of her own schedule to travel with us to the city, show us around and organize everything we needed, including transfers. She even cooked us an amazing lunch when requested! The room was small but cozy and we felt welcome throughout the entire stay. Would definitely recommend Mina Chai for travellers looking for an intimate “guest-house” experience with attentive and generous staff!

    The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

    Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

    Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
