So happy we chose this place -- the owner is absolutely lovely, and greeted us at 2am after our late-night flight, and then cooked breakfast for us later that morning. She even arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport, which hugely simplified things for us. The place is also so cute!

Lidya is so kind, there's nothing she won't do for you. The place is clean and the beds are firm and comfortable and breakfast is always good- eggs potatoes and kachumbari on point!!I had a delicious pancake breakfast one morning. I felt so welcomed and looked after while I was there. The location worked for me being a little outta town but with lots of transport options to get wherever I wanted to go. Lidya even took me to markets which was so good because I would have been lost without her. Whenever I'm in Dar es Salaam I will stay with Lidya ☺️

    The staff was extremely friendly and did make you feel like you were at someone's home. Me, the staff, and some guests ended up staying for almost two hours after dinner just talking. Dinner was also traditional East African food at a good price. The rooms were comfortable, the AC worked, good water pressure, and great wifi. Everything you could want from a homestay lodge. I had an early morning flight and they had even gave me a to-go bag with breakfast.
