The rooms were nice for a longer working stay, but there would be no place to park. The small apartment had hot water and a kitchen. The place was very clean. The security is good.
There was no food and no breakfast. The family that was staff did not seem friendly to us or offer to help us. The neighborhood is really an urban village with lots of noise. With the cost of transportation, the cost was still good but higher than expected.

They offer pickup.
Room was clean, with fresh air, air conditioner, well lit.
Just super glad it was an overnight stay.
Room was congested.
it would have been better to have a smaller bed (4x6) and shelf.
The guy who came to pick me up was rigid and not amicable.
This place is far from the airport (6km+) and in an informal setting - this is mis represented on the profile
Rough road, untarmaced for 2/3 of the ride
The place is in a 100 by 50ft plot so tight on space.

Friendly people, close to airport, big accommodation

It's not too far from the airport, and compared to the other options, it's at a good price point. The staff was really friendly. It's basically an apartment with living room/kitchen area, bathroom and bedroom, both rooms with AC.
There were quite a few mosquitoes in the rooms, so I used the spray they provided, and several cockroaches came crawling out in the bathroom. In the morning, there were three half dead ones in the shower :( Very weak water pressure and shower door was kind of broken/difficult to open.

L’hôtel est très loin de l’aéroport. Les taxis ne voulait pas y aller sauf à un prix élevé. Après 30 minutes de taxi sur des routes difficilement praticables nous avons été stoppé par une rue innondé. Nous avons faire demi tour et dû dormir à l’aéroport. C’est de la pub mensongère. Les hôtels du centre ville sont peut être plus prêt

This apartment was amazing - we were only there for a few hours over night, but I think we could happily have lived there. Everything was very modern and clean. The host and his staff were also amazing. We asked to leave our big backpacks at the accommodation prior to travelling to Zanzibar for a week, which was allowed at a very reasonable rate. As we had trouble finding the place and were then running late to catch a plane, January (staff members) met us at the airport to collect our bags. He really went over and above - exceptional service!
It was really hard to find, although this could have been due to significant road upgrade works preventing us from accessing the property in the most direct route, and Google Maps being very confused!

Sehr unkompliziert für den Transfer zum Flughafen. Hilfsbereiter Mitarbeiter und auffällig sauber! Sehr empfehlenswert. Anfahrt etwas abenteuerlich.

This reservation was cancelled without warning by the host.
I arrived at 23h to Dar es Salaam expecting to be collected as arranged by a driver who did not appear. There was no answer or contact from the host.
I was left to stay all night in the airport.
Terrible.
3.9
Totally fine for the purpose of booking we just slept a few hours before our flight and booked the taxi transfer as well otherwise it would be a little tricky to find the accommodation I guess. So the taxi driver was nice and the apartment is quite large and includes a living room as well
Shower pressure is a little less
3.9
Excellent location--short distance from airport. But access to the property itself relies on an unpaved, narrow road for 1-2 km which is best managed by larger vehicles. The staff was warm, friendly, and accommodating.
Nothing really. I read a review before booking that referred to this place as a "hidden diamond." I wholeheartedly concur.
3.9
The place is super clean. Friendly staff. The driver picked me up at the airport on time. The owner makes follow-ups to make sure you are OK. Am quite happy with my stay there.
They do not save food on the premises although booking.com said they do. Come prepared... there are no restaurants around. They also add what they called city tax on the price quoted by booking.com. Its not much though.

If you're making a short trip to Dar Es Salaam and you need to be close to the airport, this place is perfect. Rooms are small but clean, and it has everything you need (including air conditioning and plenty of drinking water) at a great price. Be sure to book your airport pickup through the Villa management, because the villa is extremely difficult to find, and regular taxi drivers would have difficulty. (Even the driver sent by the villa made a wrong turn trying to find it!)
If you are spending several days in Dar es Salaam, I don't think this would be a good choice. It's in a slum far from the centre, far down an alleyway and very difficult to find. I would not feel comfortable coming and going from here after dark. The site itself has good security, but there is no pleasant place to just sit and relax -- not in the room, not in the common areas of the villa, and definitely not outside the villa.

The person in charge was extremely responsible and replied instantly. I never seen this kind of fast communication.
I like it.
Also taxi driver was very kind and responsible person. Transferred successfully in both directions.
In the room there was some electrical device which made noise and blinking light which made hard to sleep. Please remove it from room, if possible)

Transportation from airport was arranged. Our flight was early, but driver came immediately after notifications. He also assisted us the next to get on to the ferry.
3.9
Short distance to airport. Clean room. Helpful staff.
Area around the villa is not what I had expected. Didn't feel safe to go out alone. Roads leading to the villa are not paved and location is difficult to find.
3.9
Very close to the airport, comfortable beds, good value for money on airport pick up.
Everything was good.
3.9
Spacious apartment. Very well equipped. Secure location
Very bumpy roads on way to the accomodation - however this obviously is not the owners fault
3.9
The property is very close to the airport. Communications were easy before coming. All information is given. Hot water was running, ac was also working fine. The room has living room and kitchen.
The receptionist (?) seemed to be a bit unaware of the arrival. When requesting the ammount that I have to pay, it was a bit hard. I wasn't even sure about the breakdown of the amount that I paid.
Wifi was not working.

Place was clean and spacious.
Was a bit difficult to find.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the young man who met me at the airport and took me to a local restaurant to eat. The accommodation was spacious with a large lounge cum kitchen and bedroom. I appreciated the fan and AC if required
The accommodation was tucked away down back streets, but in a safe and secure location. There were no facilities for making a drink apart from a kettle, so I had to provide my own teabags and coffee and milk. (There was a fridge). The shower door in the bathroom was very difficult to move, i.e. did not slide properly
3.9
Excellent location and facilities for an overnight stop in Dar es Salaam. Close to airport and efficient pickup and drop off service. January kindly collected a local meal of chicken and chips for a reasonable price. Beer and drinks available at a small shop next door.
Shower pressure and lack of hot water but ok as weather is warm😊
