I really enjoyed my three nights here and wish I could have stayed longer. The staff are very organised and the food is amazing! I travelled with my young daughter and she didn't want to leave. Also, Greg the manager is super helpful and friendly.
Nothing at all! All was good.

Tout était parfait. La nourriture, le confort des chambres, le personnel au petit soin très souriant, aimable et gentil. Un grand merci à Franck qui nous a aidé pour retrouver notre bagage perdu et qui nous a sauvé nos vacances en nous trouvant un super safari à la dernière minute. Je recommande vivement cet établissement, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

Very clean and comfortable, excellent staff and breakfast
Laundry service said they would use a tumble dryer but given the short time (16h) of course my clothes were still half wet because they actually do not have a tumble dryer.

We had a great stay at this lovely place. It was beautifully decorated and we felt very welcome and comfortable during our stay. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful when it came to booking activities in the area. I would greatly recommend anyone to stop by and experience this awesome accommodation.

Wunderschöne Oase am Rande des Zentrums von Arusha. Tolle Gastgeber; kein Wunsch bleibt unerfüllt. Sehr gutes, reichhaltiges Frühstück.

Lovely villa! We really loved this place! The beat of all was the service! They were always super welcoming and friendly and helpful, always with a smile in their face! The food was delicious, they were super helpful cooking something vegetarian for me and we didn't find something in the restaurants around and it was delicious! Also the breakfast the necessity day was big and delicious! I hoped we'd stayed here more than one night because we really liked it a lot!

Super schöne Unterkunft relativ zentral in Arusha. Es ist wie ein kleines Paradies. Von der großen Straße vor dem Hotel bekommt man nicht viel mit.
Die Gastgeber sind super freundlich und zuvorkommend und lesen einem jeden Wunsch von den Lippen ab. Alles wurde möglich gemacht.
Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Es gab immer einen Smoothie, frisches Obst, Pfannkuchen, Eier, Gemüse und Toast sowie Kaffee und Tee! 😊
Gar nichts, es war viel besser als erwartet! 😊😊

Staff are amazing!
It’s rated very high, but it doesn’t really match the stay. It was ok, but not very comfortable. Very basic.

La struttura in sé, dalla "capanna" romantica dove abbiamo dormito all'esterno con la veranda per le colazioni o il patio allestito con lettini ecc. Curiosa la possibilità di consegna a domicilio della pizza, che non è affatto male. Molto gentile e disponibile Anthony
Forse un po' fuori mano: i due kilometri per il centro non sono il massimo (e anche il centro in fondo non è chissà cosa)

Nicest aspect was definitely the staff, very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious enough, and the breakfast was actually delicious (even for vegetarians). Great establishment!
The only thing that could improve was the air circulation in the rooms. The small fan helped but in general the air was a bit stagnant.

Barulho dos empregados às 5.30h da manhã. Conversavam alto, riam alto, como se não tivessem hospedes

Very authentic with African appearance, Staff good, close to Arusha national park
Very far from Mount Kilimanjaro, tours very expensive, flush was not working but fixed later, very cheap products like tissues and soaps

Small green heaven in dusty Arusha town, with a cosy garden and restaurant area, good wifi, nicely decorated rooms and delicious breakfast. The owner is super helpful when it comes to arranging things for you! Would recommend staying here

Très jolie décoration des chambres, et des espaces communs. Accueil chaleureux d'Anton et son équipe. Ambiance familiale, très bon et copieux petit déjeuner. Le monsieur qui s'occupe du brasero très serviable. Pizza au top 👍
La panne d'électricité de la 3eme nuit, malgré la présence immédiate d'un réparateur, dur pour faire les valises et charger les téléphones . Mais c'était accidentel . On hésitera pas à y revenir.

We’ve only stayed for one night, but the place seemed nice and cozy.
The water in the shower were hot and it was quiet to sleep at night.
They only accepted cash which was a bit inconvenient for us, as we didn’t have that much cash with us and didn’t know it was necessary.

We had a great time there, very good value for money. Place was neat, loved the indoor/outdoor flip-flops. Chilling out in the inner garden was was very tranquil too. All in all a very good place, pleasant stay we had. Staff and the owner were friendly as well.

Mr Tonny was amazing. Picked up from airport,booked safari,arranged taxi for the bus without paying. Everything is more than clean. I was felt like home. I always see reviews before booking and all the words are true
Everything is amazing

We stayed here prior to starting our Safari trip and it was perfect for what we needed. The staff was very nice and helpful arranging transport so we can tour around Arusha for the day. They let us check in earlier as our flight arrived earlier and we could sleep off our jet lag which we GREATLY appreciated! They were extremely accommodating for us. The breakfast was great as well.

It couldn't have been better value for money. The friendliness of the staff was unbeatable and the breakfast was excellent. A pity we only stayed one night.

The team have created a real homely atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here. We stayed in the bungalow room which was great value for money.
The evening camp fires are a lovely touch.
Its slightly hidden from the main road and probably a 20 mins walk from town but that was fine for us. We would walk in to town if we wanted to visit a restaurant and then would take a taxi or tuk tuk back.
Due to hiking and safari we often had early starts the next day so it also worked well to stay onsite and order a pizza to us (they have a pizza place just around the corner that delivers and is very popular with guests)
The team also looked after our big luggage when we went on safari for a couple of nights which we really appreciated.
Would recommend.

everything was great, especially for the price you get everything you want and need. the personal is really nice, there even is a guard 24/7. the pick up service worked out perfectly. the rooms are nice and modern. we loved the african style. in the evening the guard made a bonfire which we enjoyed sitting outdoor.
the beds are a little bit short for european standards and the water pressure isn't really high but thats not a big deal for us

Such a cute place to rest before and after safari! We loved our stay. The breakfast was great and every night there was a bonfire where you could grab a beer and talk with fellow travellers.
Nothing comes to mind.

Serengeti villa was lovely - the staff were so kind and helpful. It was the perfect place to recover from a bad bout of food poisoning.
The little touches of the Whatsapp welcome made the one night stay feel very special and like we were at home, staying with relatives. The pizza menu was perfect , ideal for after a long day/safari.
