At the hotel, rooms are equipped with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at Haika Home Lodge also feature a city view. At the accommodation the rooms come with bed linen and towels.

Clean room with a big picture window that slides open and has a mesh to block the bugs. There were hardly any mosquitoes when I stayed but there is a mosquito net on the comfortable bed, just in case. The hostess Stella and her family were very nice and easy to talk to - they stay in a detached building on the premises that is their house. The assistant David is very helpful. The local/westerm breakfast is excellent that changes every day. Good wifi. Well-priced accommodation.

Brown was super nice. We reserved a Dar Es Salaam tour with him. I would definitely recommend it!! Definitely worth it! Even if you're just passing through and only have an afternoon, ask about the tour. The room was very very nice!! Definitely exceeded expectations. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with a private living room, bathroom and kitchen. Very nice. Brown also picked us up at the port, drove us around and dropped us off at the airport at 1 am. I traveled with one friend. We are both two young women traveling alone. Brown made us feel safe in Dar Es Salaam.

    It's a very rundown and old hotel but I come back every time I stay in Dar. It's very cheap and the location is unbeatable for that price, very central and close to the ferry to Zanzibar. The staff is nice, breakfast is basic but good with fruits, juice and eggs (for an extra 2000), and there's lots of nice restaurants in the area. If you're on a small budget and don't have high expectations it's a good place.
