Located in Arusha, 10 km from Old German Boma, Banana Farm Eco Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Providing a bar, the property is located within 11 km of Uhuru monument. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

We stayed there 4 nights but after the first one I wanted to book one more (fully booked ofcourse) Because this place is perfect, it has that hippie vibe but it feels real. Barn lodge was quite new and super clean,with a really comfortable bed (and this is my usual issue almost everywhere) Food was delicious every day(even vegan option) but we always have to demand a bit more :) .. This place is really big for long walking and also full of their own activities, tour around the farm with Victor is MUST. On this farm work the most kind people. Regina on reception is always helpfull thanks to her. I wish to this place and to the owner only the best.

This hostel definitely lived up to the recommendations I'd read . I've had an awesome stay here. Met some incredible fellow travellers from around the world. The staff are just wonderful as is the owner. Loved the washing machine, the kitchen facilities were great too ( just need more knives) , which I believe has already been fed back to the owner.. I'll honestly miss this wonderful place .

Located within 6.4 km of Old German Boma and 6.9 km of Uhuru monument in Arusha, Blue elephant villas provides accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.

We loved our stay at Blue Elephant Villas! Agnes, Miriam and Greg were wonderful hosts, helping answering all of our questions and making our stay extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the included breakfast and dinner for $10 USD per person each night, which was delicious (and very generous portions)! The wifi was also strong, rooms were clean and the villa was a manageable walk from the center of town. Would highly recommend staying here - especially for a relaxing few days before or after a safari - which Greg can also help coordinate!

We have never stayed anywhere in all our travels where the hosts make you feel as at home than Francisca and Said did. Their home as the perfect place for my wife and I to take a hot shower and get a delicious home cooked meal by their chef David. They were so gracious and hospitable, willing to organize everything and anything for you. We really enjoyed having dinner with Francisca and Said, learning about their ambitions and children. This was the nicest place we stayed at in Tanzania, and Francisca, Said, David, and Jay’s hospitality made it one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. Can’t recommend Haradali’s Home enough! We’ll be back to enjoy their new family accommodations once Emilia and I have enough kids for Said’s approval!

With garden views, Kutoka Lodge is located in Arusha and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace and children's playground. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

Kutoka Lodge bungalow was comfortable and garden provided nice atmosphere. The bed was one of the best ones on the planet. Blandina and her team have created a very relaxing accommodation that is surrounded by spacious and lush garden. Also big special thanks to Kepora who shared a lot of really interesting information about nature and life in Tanzania. And of course again very good service by all the staff. This was not our first stay in Kutoka Lodge. We were very happy that we decided to stay there again. Thank you very much!

We also loved meeting Simba and Zazu, the sweet dogs they have at the house. Many nice touches and beautiful decor.

    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).

    Beautiful property and individual cabins, an eco banana and coffee farm. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and the dinner was inexpensive, home cooked and delicious in a communal setting in the dining room. The daily free farm tour is worth it and they also offer painting and cooking lessons. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

    Excellent location in the middle of town. Very cheap price. Friendly staff. Nice rooftop terrace for breakfast in the morning and beers at night.
