This place felt like a hidden paradise clean, well kept, and surrounded by stunning nature. It was such a peaceful escape from the busy world. The eco-friendly atmosphere and attention to detail made it feel like a true retreat. Every corner of the property felt like it was crafted with care and respect for nature.

First of all, I’d like to thank George and all the staff for going an extra mile to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. I felt more than welcome and I really appreciate all the help with arranging my safari trip (an experience of a lifetime). I also went for a trip to the mount Meru waterfall which was absolutely fantastic (thanks to my tour guide Gilbert)! My room was clean, bed was comfortable, I was also happy with the dinner served directly in the property. Communication with George was excellent (both before and during my trip). He picked me up at the airport and he was always there - there’s nothing this guy can’t arrange for you :) Safari villa is a great value for money. Asante sana!

This is the cleanest hostel I’ve ever visited in Africa! Great location — within walking distance to a supermarket, local market, and the bus station. WiFi was solid, around 30 to 40 Mbps. I was able to use the kitchen. Laundry service is available, and they also accept card payments. Hot water was always available too. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay. Rooms are very clean and nice. The food is good and always home made. If you want, it is also a good place to connect with other guests during dinner or in the evening at the cozy bar or fire place. The absolute highlight of the stay were the amazing hosts (and dogs). We really loved it there and would highly recommend it. Thank you for the great time.

My friends and I loved Mina Chai House and it was the highlight of our time in Arusha-- we even booked a second stay after our safari! The location is secure, the rooms/beds are super comfortable, and everything is spotless. Seriously, whoever cleans this house should get a raise. Zena, the manager, is a very warm person and made our stay feel like we were at home. We also had dinner at the property made by Asha and it was delicious (and they make it spicy if you ask, unlike a lot of places for tourists!). Stay here if you can! Even my friends who are used to luxury hotels said this place was lovely and wanted to come back a second time.

    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.

    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).
