Nothing

I ended up canceling the reservation. The place was a dump! There was no sign to say that that was a place. The guy's phone was disconnected and when we finally got to the place we had to go back twice before he opened the door. You guys need to check out this place and take him off your your listing. Not a good look for booking.com

The staff are kind and quick to respond to concerns

The water in the shower is so cold, had a very light blanket yet it was the cold season. I didn't like the dogs there as they always barked and ran to me whenever I was getting In. You have to remind them to renew internet subscription every now and then as It ended so fast

The late evening food of rice and beans was well prepared with fresh greens aka sukumawiki. The hosts had good conversation. WIFI available, but one needs to remind the host to live it on. There are 4 dogs, playful and harmless.

The place on the map and actual location did not coordinate at all. There is no sign post on the main road or on the gate to indicate the place. no outside lights on the road, making it unsafe to wonder outside. Not a safe walking distance to the main road which was the highway. There is no bell on the gate and therefore made it difficult to get inside or contact the host. Transport not easily available unless one walked to the main road and then crossed to the other side to get a taxi towards the city centre or the happening side of life. Traveled towards the start of the winter/cold/rainy season in Arusha and therefore the nights were very, very cold. The room had no heating. The room was very cold. The room had crawling insects on the beddings, pillows, on the floor. I think it was not fumigated. There was not any hot water and yet the environment was very cold. The bathroom floods when using the cold shower. Outside the room's window was a polythene that would flap and make noise during the cold windy nights. Not good especially if one is a light sleeper. The compound was a good size but the grass had not been cut.

In this hostel you feel at home, everything is very clean, both rooms and common areas. Breakfast is plentiful and very good.Teddy is a nice cook.Kelvin the owner is very intelligent and friendly.I will stay here again.

Very nice and clean hostel with good wi-fi connections and nice garden.Kelvin invited us well and The chef teddy cooked for us such a good foodI highly recommend this place

The authenticity of this place was what motivated us during our stay.The attention that kelvin gave to us was all we needed.Good placw and value for money

Location was easy to walk around

The entrance bell is broken so had to wait outside for our taxi driver to call someone to let us in. Freezing cold, low pressure showers. There is no WiFi - had to be topped up and asked for many times.  We booked for 2 people and had 1 pillow on the bed and 1 towel, multiple times asked for more laundry, received a pillow at 935pm which was stale smelling, the towel never arrived - all linens needed cleaning as smelt damp. There was a power cut and we had to ask for power to be topped up to turn the light on.  No mosquito nets in our rooms as listed. Dogs running about are not trained and jump up/try to get into the room/steal shoes if left outside/bark all hours of the night.  Our shuttle to the airport was 20 minutes later than our asked collection time meaning we nearly missed our flight and had a very anxious departure from arusha. Staff are nice enough yet don't expect organisation, things to work, or cleanliness.

The house itself is nice and would be a great stay if not so poorly maintained.

Everything was very dirty and appeared to have not been cleaned in a very long time. After using the washrooms, we realised there was no water and had to request for the water to be turned on. Water pressure was very low and no water bucket provided. Bed sheets were also visibly unclean and dusty. Kitchen was in a terrible state as well. Also, wifi did not work at all, which is fine... but good to know beforehand.
