We loved our stay at Maasai Hostel. Swahiba, were wonderful hosts, helping answering all of our questions and making our stay extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the included breakfast and dinner for $10 USD per person each night, which was delicious (and very generous portions)! The wifi was also strong, rooms were clean and the house was a manageable walk from the Mall and culture heritage Would highly recommend staying here - especially for a relaxing few days before or after a safari - also Swahiba help coordinate the safari for five days is real amazing. Is easy to book the hostel and safari at Maasai hostel. Looking to come back.

Swahiba was a great host. He came to point our taxi the right way to the hostel, and quickly arranged a tuktuk for us to go into town. The room itself was basic but clean. Overall it was really good value for money.

Be aware that the location is a bit out of town, you’ll have to take a tuktuk or motorcyle to get there. These can easily be arranged through Swahiba so for us it was not a problem

The property is really nice, located in a quite neighbourhood with a nice living room and a comfortable bedroom. Good beds and a great breakfast! The host is really friendly and helped us with everything!!

Belinda is a good host!

I booked a safari with swashiva for which i.paud $200 USA but should really cost $100 USA. They transfered me to moskito town in a Dalah Dalah, we were at the mercy of Abdule who did VERY SHORT game drves

Breakfast was decent: instant coffee,eggs, toast and fruit. The location is hard to find by drivers from Arusha.

I was expecting Massai people running it and they do not have anything with Massai people or culture. Also, the owner sold me a HORRIBLE trip. He charged me for a 5 star trip and i got a 1 start trip in EVERY RESPECT: TRUCK IN A HORRIBLE SHAPE, mediocre food, driver did very short game drives, tents run down

We got a very bad experience at Maasai Hostel. We arrived at the adress written on Booking and did not find anything. We went on the one we found on Google Map and did not find anything. We asked people in the street, noone knew about the place. We called the phone number on Booking, noone replied. Finaly, we found another number. A boy from Maasai Hostel told us that Maasai Hostel was full (while we exchanged messages before!) and they would send someone to show us their orner hotel for the same price. We drove for 20 minutes before arriving to a place where noone welcomed us. They gave us a girl on the Phone who told us she was the owner of the place and she never heard about Maasai Hostel while the boy we had on the phone from Maasai Hostel told us both of the places where from the same owner... We booked at Maasai Hostel because it was close from the airport and looked like a warm place and ended up in a place where we did not feel safe. I highly don't recommend to book with them !

The hostel was very clean and had all useful facilities. Swahiba, the host, was amazing. not only did he arrange the pick up and drop off of the airport, he also took care of all the activities I wanted to do and really makes sure you feel comfortable during your stay. it was truly an amazing experience as a first solo trip.

Although the location of the hostel is a bit far from the center of Arusha, you're in a quiet neighborhood and Swahiba will help booking rides to go around town.

Swahiba is there for everything you may need! he will arrange tuk tuk, motorcycle, safaris or anything on the earth you may need!

wifi is a bit slow for us who needed it
