We had a fantastic stay at this hostel. Everyone was really friendly and the atmosphere was great. The rooms are comfortable and we felt so safe here. The staff and the owner are lovely people and helped us so much. Outside is a beautiful chill area for just enjoying the evening.We can definitely recommend.

Very cozy space and the owner is awesome! Also really good wifi so if you have to work this place is great! Also you could cook your own breakfast which I loved. You can use their ingredients for free or if you want breakfast made you can pay for it.

The property went above my expectations, it was almost a private villa you'd probably get nowhere in Arusha in that price range. Even my safari guide was puzzled as to how I discovered it. Don't let the lower number of reviews take you elsewhere, it opened in 2023. There's a private garden, lush and manicured with perfection, a balcony, two roof top terraces to enjoy 360deg view of the area and not to forget clear view of Mt Meru, and it's immaculately clean throughout the property. To top it off, the staff was the kindest and most helpful bunch of people, I was blown away by the hospitality of Walter and Jackson who helped me with SIM card, restaurant suggestions, even helping recovering our power bank we left at the SIM store. They made every efforts to make our stay memorable. Definitely coming back here if in Arusha next.

    I really loved my stay here - Innocent is a great host, always going an extra mile to help or accommodate his guests. As it was my first time in Tanzania, he made it much easier for me to get used to it, helped arrange transportation, order food from delicious local restaurant etc. Also breakfast served was delicious!
