Super friendly and chill staff, bed was so comfy and such great value. Would definitely come again

Only downside is the location, it was a bit of a trouble to get to, locals know it as "The White House" so hope that helps others find it! (Maybe they could put some signs up?)

The hostel was very beautiful! Full of lovely paintings and decorations! The ambiance was lovely overall and we got to enjoy a gorgeous sunset from their rooftop deck. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating! Overall the service was very good!

Honestly everything was great for the price!

the dog and the culture like environment

nothing

Good vibe, nice people and the backyard garden is absolutely stunning with the fire place and avocado’s trees!

Hot water can be a challenge sometimes

The room was cleaned and it's a nice hostel. It has hot water!!

Fake location, it's so far away from the center of the city, you have to take a taxi. And wifi doesn't work in all day...

The staff was nice and helpful

wifi wasn’t working

The help I got from the staff was awesome.i was not stranded at all.the lady who prepared breakfast did a fantastic job.it came right on time

Wi Fi connectivity should be upfront.guests with no Tanzania simcards who are on a short stay need wi Fi for communication.i did not enjoy this this service appropriately from check in day.

I liked the room and the breakfast.

It did not have wifi.

the breakfast was really amazing as well as the beds and the hostel itself.

they havent had wifi at all, the stuff was unfriendly and not able to talk english. the location is in the slums.

Everyone was very kind and made you feel at home. We had some problems with the train and Jackson picked us up very late and looked with us for some food, very helpful!

Everything was perfect, i really like the place

Nice place, good hostel atmosphere)) rooms is good, toilets are new and clean. Owners of the place are nice and helpful.

Location is more far then shown on the map, but not a big deal. Wifi was not working.

It's definitely cheap. There are motortaxis waiting right in front of the hostel who can take you into town for a very low price.

The location on the booking map is not the location in real life! It wasn't even close. This place is way further out in a neighbourhood where we did not feel comfortable walking around by ourselves. The owner played his own electronic music all day long. Some of the showers didn't work properly. Our room opened right into the large communal area, where people would hang out a night, so it was rather noisy. I would only recommend this place if you are a very low budget backpacker looking to spend time in a neighbourhood that is as local as they come! Most expensive beers we've come across in mainland Tanzania!

Really worth for the price. Clean and omfortable beds. Nice big common area and good breakfast.

Lockers good be nice. Located far from the centre in an area that did not seem the best. Necessary to be accompanied to go out the hostel and need bolt or personal transportation to get in and get out.

Nice and chilled place to stay close to Arusha. You can walk for a few minutes or take a boda boda for a small price to get into town. The Housekeeper was very nice and friendly. Nice garden to make a bonfire in the evening :)

WiFi was only available at a few times of the day, could definitely be improved. But I think it was just a matter of refreshing the router, so if the owner is around and you tell him the wifi should be back again.

location

no wifi during our 4 days there, and everyday we were told by the owner that next day or later the same day there will be, but no. we trusted him and wait for the next day to get the wifi he promised us, but no wifi ever.

For the price it was ok. Don't expect too much. I came late, but got a warm beer (the fridge is not used for beer because it will be bad while electricity if off much often 😳 But I got food even late for free.

There was no couver to use the blanket, so I used my own thin sleeping bag. No warm water for shower. Wished to get breakfast at 8am, didn't work.

I liked the place, perfect to chill in Arusha before going for a big adventure (safari, kili,...). You can take a motorcycle taxi for a cheap price to the city center. The owner is super nice!!

Johnson's hospitality and the accomodations, really nice play to stay and relax

Everything was good

Jonson did everything to make my stay exeptional. Great hospitality and amazing garden. They also have kittens and a dog which made it feel like a home :-)

the hostel is cool, have a nice common area

i booked because of the location and wifi, but the location on map isn’t correct and the wifi worked only first 5 minutes

This place was amazing, it’s really quiet, the owner Johnson and his team (His mother and Sarah) are amazing people always ready to make you feel comfortable and to help you. The place itself is really well located and you got a very good view from the roof! I’ve met amazing peoples there and I spent a wonderful time at this place Totally recommend!!

The first point is a very cute looking place with wonderful stuff and a cool owner. Besides having a nice living room/communal area there is a pretty garden with flowers, trees and soft grass to practice yoga, do sport or just relax. If you plan to climb Meru, Kilimanjaro or do a Safari, the owner can give you the best contacts in town (price/value/fairpayment for workers/porters/guides/cooks). So relax get here and plan everything from the hostel, while enjoying your included breakfast with cool people.

Really nice hostel with a good vibe! Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the place was clean and in good condition, the showers also had hot water :). It's in a good location if you want a more local feel, and it's close to the train station but also to the centre. We didn't have lunch or dinner there but it looked and smelt really good, and the breakfast is included in the price which is eggs, avocado and fruit which was nice! Overall had a really good stay and would definitely stay here again next time I'm back in Arusha. Also great value for money! 😊

Nothing, everything was great :) we even extended our stay

Very nice

None

Good breakfast! Value for money perfect for the backpackers

Such a warm welcoming, very good location, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets that can be seen from the roof as well as a view of Mount Meru. Many thanks to the team. I will definitely come back again.

Great place to stay for Arusha visitors, really positive vibe, The owner Johnson was really helpful for us and thanks to him we managed to solve some problems. Can’t not to mention his mom who made us great breakfast everyday. Do not hesitate and book now.

There was a problem with internet provider but when we needed it Johnson made a hotspot from his own telephone
