Super Unterkunft als Ausgangsort für Safari's, Trekkings u.ä.

Das Frühstück wie auch das Abendessen, war ausgezeichnet. Lina war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns im Mambo Hideaway sehr wohlgefühlt und kamen gerne einem Trekking und der Safari zurück. Wir können die Unterkunft empfehlen und würden wieder hinkommen.

Das Badezimmer könnte etwas modern sein oder einladender gestaltet werden. Ansonsten gibt es nichts auszusetzen.

Sind dort nach unserer Safari eingekehrt und es war genau das richtig zum entspannen.

Es war perfekt. Sehr gutes Essen. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das beste was Arusha nach einer Safari zu bieten hat. Sehr schöne Zimmer

Stayed one night before heading out for a multi-day safari, loved the property and the staff

Property was beautiful, room was comfortable and spacious, excellent breakfast, and staff was wonderful

It’s difficult to find, off a dirt road (and near impossible to find at night when we arrived). Recommend printing a map or directions so you can navigate it.

If you need a cheap place to stay in Arusha, it's cute and more interesting than a hotel.

The host was very nice and the space was clean and the bed very comfortable. We opted for dinner since it's pretty out of the way and it was our last night before heading to JRO to go home.

The wifi didn't really extend to our room (the A-frame behind the house), which was fine as we mostly just wanted to sleep. No water was provided, so we ended up using our gravity filter to produce some clean water for brushing our teeth and then we bought a 1.5L from the host the next day at breakfast.

Mambo hideaway is a gem in Arusha. A very cozy, clean and calm place with everything you might need. Lina is taking care of the guests, cooks amazing lunch and dinner and is a very helpful and lovely person! Thank you for the nice stay!

Ok for one night.

The accommodation was clean, nice and comfortable. We had dinner there too and I was tasty.

I must say that I was very surprised with the price of the food. I ordered dinner and was shocked to learn that a plate of french frise chips is USD 10. On the menu there were not prices, but I didn’t even think that the price would be higher than in an luxurious restorant. I must admit that food was very nice though.

Nice rooms and great staff, but you get what you pay for.

The rooms were really nice, a cozy vibe. The owner and the driver were both really helpful and service minded.

The breaksfast was simple and the wifi was unstable. A bit far from the city center, and some of the inventary should get some love by a handyman ;)

The vibe did not match the pictures

The staff was kind and upgraded us to a better room due to an issue on booking.com

Location is far from Arusha and an area where it does not feel too safe to walk around on your own. The common room is small and there is little space to hang out outside.

Decent place just without signboard at main road

The ambience was nice. The staff are also good and easy to communicate with. The environment is also good. Room size was good.

There are no signboard at the main road for proper direction. The approach road is also in bad condition.

Generator has very limited capacity. We arrived in the dark. The electricity was down due to maintenance in the neighberhood. The capacity of the generator was to low to for an electric kettle.

Mambo Hideaway is a delightful oasis with an outdoor bar and lovely garden. I stayed in the bungalow and it was spacious, comfortable and clean with a good shower. Aziz and Glorie were terrific hosts. Glorie lives on site, takes care of everything, makes a delicious, abundant breakfast and will go out of her way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She even bought more fuel for the generator so I could access some important messages on wifi. Mambo Hideaway is a great value, run by warm and caring people and I'm very glad I stayed there.

Emailed them several times with questions before I left the US. Did not get a response until the end of my safari, 2 days before check in which created some problems. They do accept credit cards and dollars which is not made clear on their website.

beautiful, quiet place a little out of Arusha

Glory was a lovely hostess, food (especially breakfast) was delicious. The garden and the whole place are beautiful, beds are really comfy.

Kind of far out of town but easy to get there by Dalla Dalla (maybe 15-20 min)

Amazing stay

everything you need for a short stay. apparently issues with electricity are not rare ( not hotels fault) but we didn’t experience it. all was good.

perhaps location as you need a taxi to get to the town but it’s only $9 one way. I still would prefer to stay here rather than more central

Cute little place to relax

Glory and Paulo were absolutely fantastic, super friendly and nice and they helped us out with everything. Glory is a very good cook, if you are lucky she can cook some traditional food for you (like a Ugali kuku), it's absolutely delicious. If you need any serious driver, Johny is your man, he drives safe and is reliable and on time. He drove us at 3 a.m. to the airport (more than 1h away), thanks a lot! The room was clean and cute, there was even a kettle and some fresh coffee to make yourself a nice cup of the famous coffee. The bed was big and comfortable and the bedsheets were very nice.

Sadly the internet is not reliable and very limited, so streaming is impossible (there is also a sign there asking to please not use streaming platform) and video calls difficult. If you are dependent on the internet connection this is not the place for you (hopefullu the owner will change it soon).

Great value and lovely host

The host that welcomed us, cooked and looked after you during the stay was so nice and helpful. The room was simple but nice. Had a coffee station and the garden was very pretty

It needed a little extra tlc to block lots of small holes around the doors as they let in a lot of bugs. The bathroom could be perfect by replacing the curtains and the chipboard with another material
