A very peaceful place, the hostel itself is surrounded by greenery and nature, located in a wonderful spot near a river. The rooms are tidy, cozy, and quiet. But the biggest praise goes to the chef. The food was amazing — we didn’t expect to eat so well. I would love to return again and again just because of the food.

Top to bottom excellent quality in service, food, staff, rooms are beautiful and spacious and clean, pool and gardens are really spectacular and restaurant is probably the best in Arusha with unbelievable views of Mount Meru, this property is head and shoulders above the rest in Arusha and well worth the splurge to start or finish your adventure in Tanzania.

It was absolutely fantastic. Cecile is the owner, and she's truly fantastic. She's from the Netherlands, so we could speak Dutch with her. But apart from that, she's someone who's very passionate about running her B&B. We felt right at home the moment we arrived. I was traveling with my 9-year-old son, and he didn't want to leave or stay much longer. We were unprepared, and she arranged a fantastic safari for us last minute. We'll definitely be back! Cecile, we love you!

We had a beautiful stay here before and after our safari. The staff are wonderful, welcoming and go above and beyond. The dinner and breakfast was awesome. The location is perfect if you are coming from or going to Mount Kilimanjaro airport. We arrived late at night and had an early morning flight departure and so glad we stayed here to avoid the traffic in Arusha centre and didn’t have to commute as far. Highly recommend

The property is very nice with a beautiful tropical garden. Our room was large with all facilities, the bed was also large in particular the cover bed highly appreciated when the nights are chilly. The bed sheets and the towels were of an immaculate white colour. Everything was really clean. The breakfast was very fresh, tasty and complete. We also loved the dinner, which was cooked and prepared like at home. A highlight of this hotel is also the staff. Everybody was very friendly and we appreciated how much the owner listens to his staff suggestions. The owner who also speaks French, organized a city tour for us, we were very grateful for this as we could visit the Cultural Heritage Centre, the Shanga Workshop, the Natural History museum and a local market with a private way.

It was an amazing stay from the start to the end. We booked the pick up from the airport to the hotel direct with Anton. Later we booked also the Safari and the climbing to moumt Meru with Anton. He offered us those activities for a very fair price and everything was perfect. We also had to move the dates for the stay for one day without any problems. Anton was very friendly and organized everything for us. He also went with us for dinner, showed us around and helped us with every question we had. We will for ever remember the stay in the Savannah House

The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

Despite the very low cost our rooms had everything we needed and were very comfortable, staff was super friendly, breakfast was large and very tasty. The location wasn’t an area to stroll around in, very poor, but we felt safe and secure.

Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
