The place was fantastic, the staff and owner were really friendly, the attention was perfect, also they helped us a lot finding a bus heading to tanga at 6 am, which in the Arusha station could be really difficult for tourists at that time in the morning.

We loved our stay in Serengeti villa, Frank was really nice and assisted us with everything we needed. We wanted to extend another day here but it was fully booked, so Frank helped us with another booking in a sister hotel and even arranged for our bags to be delivered there fuss free. He also arranged for our transport back to Nairobi at no extra cost. The rooms were clean and comfy too :)

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, clean, with very high pressured showers. Such a treat! The food is pretty good, nice variety of coffee drinks in the morning and a great space in the back with a clean swing outside and quiet very private yard. Also they organize us excursions to materuni waterfall and hot springs for half price than we got from many tour operators around there, they work Parfect and professional

The view is fantastic. Each room setting is unique, and attention to the traditional African style techniques is exquisite. Above all, THE PEOPLE!!!! They smiles will follow my memories for a very long time. the food, and the hospitality were all exceptional. A special mention goes to Hidaya, Stela our assistant for the few days we stayed. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home, keeping us entertained and ensuring our stay was perfect.

All hostels in Arusha

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
