Séjour au top! Personnel, lieu, chambres supers. Merci!

La gentillesse d’Agnes et de son personnel! Nous avons eu un super accueil et de très bons échanges tout au long de notre séjour. Le petit-déjeuner est incroyable! Une grande assiette de fruits avec des œufs comme souhaités, des crêpes et du pain, thé, café, lait… Les deux chiens sont adorables, très joueurs et câlins! L’endroit est très joli, très vert et tranquille 🌳. Les chambres sont confortables, propres et l’équipement est bien. Il y a la possibilité de cuisinier soi-même ou de demander un repas à 10$ par personne le soir.

Les prix proposés pour les repas, les transferts en voiture, ainsi que la lessive sont plus élevés que la moyenne. Le wifi était parfois faible dans certains endroits des chambres. Le centre ville est un peu éloigné, mais avec Bolt nous avons pu nous déplacer en tuktuk et cela permettait d’éviter le bruit du centre.

Allez-y sans hésiter

Tout était parfait ! La nourriture est très bonne, la chambre est propre . La propriétaire est très gentille et vous aidera pour tout ce dont vous aurez besoin. Le transfert centre ville/ hôtel coûte 10 000TZS pour 2.

Almost like home ;)

- the manager, Agnes, goes to great lengths to make you feel comfortable and well taken care of (incl. sending over towels when we had to stay longer on safari & arranging free transportation to the shuttle bus to Nairobi because one of us had an injury) - all staff are veeeeery friendly - wonderful breakfast - nicely arranged inside and outside (buildings, yard, verandas, rooms) - after the first night (out of 5), we got an upgrade on the room free of charge - the manager’s brother arranges trips (safari, Masai village, trekking, etc.)

The best place to be in Arusha

There is better place where you can stay in Arusha. Agnes is unique, she is worried about you all the time, she prepares you a fresh breakfast every morning, she helps you with everything, I can only say positive things, Please don’t miss the opportunity to stay here, value for money and price from another planet. I highly recommend staying in the hotel, the beds incredibly comfortable, we came here with a friend, an absolute peace in this hotel and to download the wonderful cleanliness, one of the cleanest places I have been, it has a garden wonderful. Agnes thank you very much for everything Agnes you are the best hostess that can be had.

Nothing all was perfect

A lovely cottage house offering really tasty food to the guests.

A big local house consisted of rooms with private bathroom and a shared sofa room. The owner- hostess is a lovely lady that cooks amazingly and not lose any meal while staying.It costs 10$ and it is really worth it! Also she tries to make you feel so cosy and have a very nice stay!

It didn’t have any small bottle of shower/shampoo and there wasn’t any shop nearby to buy.

Great!

Breakfast was great, it included fruit, eggs, chapati, and bread as well as coffee, milk, and tea. The manager, Agness was an absolute gem; very attentive and kind. They also have great books in the common area that you can borrow!

Superb

Thank you Agnes for being an amazing host. She is very accommodating and nothing is a problem. The room was lovely and spacious and clean. Breakfast was delicious - heaps of fresh fruit, coffee/ tea, egg, chapati, pancake, toast and more! It is a great location on the edge of Arusha town with grocery stores only a few hundred meters walk. I would definitely stay again. Asante sana Agnes.

Colorful, welcoming, cosy, and well connected place to stay in Arusha

This place is really great - Agness is very welcoming and will make you feel comfortable. I have stayed there 2 weeks for work and could not get bored of the very filling breakfast (some pics attached). The garden is wonderful & colorful - swinging chair, comfy benches, some tables... The location is good too - it's not directly into town but it's on a main road so you can easily take a dala dala to/from town. Or there's a lot of motorbikes and tuk tuk to move around. For dinner, there are a few places around the hostel (the BBQ right next to it is quite nice), and there's even a cafe in Arusha which delivers. The WiFi is strong - I had a few online meetings on Teams/Zoom, never had a glitch. Very happy with my stay!

More of a home stay than a hotel

I absolutely loved the owner of this homestay. She is lovely.

My partner and I are very tall and the bed was pretty small! You are actually staying at someone’s house in a room behind the house. You need to go through the living room and kitchen to get there.

Very good

We had a wonderful stay. The bed and shower in the double deluxe room were perfect. The host Agnes was very kind and helpful. She even made us breakfast to go when we left the place at 5 in the morning to catch our bus.

THE BEST

The environment is beautiful, it's very secure and closer to the city centre. The rooms are perfect and comfortable 👌 Agnes was such a good host 👌 The breakfast and dinner was fabulous. The other lady called Hawa cooked very delicious food .They are so welcoming and wonderful. I loved my stay there. I'll definitely visit again.

Amazing hosts make the experience better

Everything was great, hosts are amazing and go out of their way to help with anything you need Would definitely stay here again

Since this place is more catered towards travelers on a budget, maybe think about re-pricing a dinner offer as $15 is too much for travelers that stay in hostels If it was $7-8 maybe we would've joined

10pm Curfew or you,re Locked out!!!!!!

It was close to the main road

Never knew that you are Imprisoned after 10pm because they specifically put it in their contract with Booking.Com that no one can exit the property after 10pm and the gate is double padlocked and only opened again for breakfast. Never had a curfew since living at my parents house and it was quite frightening knowing that you had to rush back by 10pm like little Teenagers

wonderful and friendly host and good chilled out place to relax.

Some of the rooms are great with nice outdoor terrace. The host and staff and very friendly and will assist wherever possible to make your stay more pleasant.

Pick a room at the front of the main house and not the back.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue elephant villas. Agnes is so very kind, she made this place a home for us. The breakfast was always delicious and very rich and we also had dinner which was very tasty too. The garden is a nice place to relax and the town center is very close. You can also book a safari or mountain trip, Agnes brother runs a well reputated travelling bussines. All in all highly recommended!

All around good experience.

Agnes was superb...very kind, helpful, and efficient. I booked an extra night because of how great I was treated the first two nights I'd booked. The food was good, and Agnes is really receptive to anything you may want organised - I got fruits on a random afternoon, I got a taxi around town and to the airport, I got directions to the malls, I got a lot of coffee. There's also a dog, Winter...Winta... delightful little energetic girl.

For the rate per night, I cannot complain at all.

Do yourself a favour, stop researching elsewhere and stay here. Beautiful, relaxed, quiet, home!

Do yourself a favour, stop researching elsewhere and stay here. Stayed previously at 5 star Meru hotel, and sure it was flash, but the Blue elephant so much more relaxed atmosphere, homey & beautiful gardens/chill zones, you wouldn't pick that it's just off the busy main street. The amazing girls will look after you and keep you well fed. Such a gem! I'll be back!

Great value for money, good location, friendly staff.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They served a nice freshly prepared breakfast on your own patio, asking you how you liked your eggs and a nice portion of fresh fruit. Great value for money on the accommodation. The room we had was spacious with a private little patio with table and sofa. Comfortable bed. From the accommodation it’s a 1 minute walk to the main road. You can easily get a dalla dalla(local bus)/ or hail a taxi/ order a taxi with bolt. We also walked a few times to the city centre in about half an hour. Around the corner of the Blue Elephant, at the main road, there is a nice little bar where you can have a drink in the evening, you can get some bbq snacks there aswel. It’s called Naca meat up. All in all we would recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay in Blue elephant villas. It exceeded our expectations. We tried different rooms and they were all very cozy and clean. We really felt at home there. The staff was really friendly. Agnes took really good care of us. She made an amazing breakfast every day and Greg, the owner, was really helpful to organise tours and safaris. We can't wait to come back!
