Considering the price and location (near by Kilimandjaro and Arusha national parks), the hostel is good value for money and with a delicious cooker that will prepare you good home made meals (veggie options) after a long hike.
Hot water was not functioning more than 5min, which is ok but if some people are seeking for that, they better be not expecting hot showers and/or hair dryer to not catch a cold.
