A lovely homestay, I had a one night booking close to the airport for an overnight connection, but due to flight delays I stayed 3 nights. It was just perfect, clean, comfortable, great A/C and WiFi and a tasty breakfast with the biggest juiciest freshest home grown mangoes . Definitely recommend and will return next time passing through Dar. Thank you Tony and Janet for being such welcoming hosts!

Great manners, perfect hospitality and attention to details. This is how I see these hosts. They look after You properly. Examples? Right from the start they call You by Your name, even if one of those Ladies did not meet You before, when coming across You introduced Herself and knows who You are and what is Your name and when You were supposed to come; and each of Those Ladies have such manners; another example: arranging the transport also for additional need that I had, all with booking the pick up for me with their app; another example? When I had to wake up very early for my flight, without any request from me, I heard very quiet and gentle wake up knock to the door 40 min before the pick up, 5 min before my aggressive wake ul call of my phone; it was much better wake, really; I can say more of the examples, for a one night stay ot was a-lot of good surprises.

Lidya is so kind, there's nothing she won't do for you. The place is clean and the beds are firm and comfortable and breakfast is always good- eggs potatoes and kachumbari on point!!I had a delicious pancake breakfast one morning. I felt so welcomed and looked after while I was there. The location worked for me being a little outta town but with lots of transport options to get wherever I wanted to go. Lidya even took me to markets which was so good because I would have been lost without her. Whenever I'm in Dar es Salaam I will stay with Lidya ☺️

Me and my friend stayed at for 1 night as we had to take an International flight early in the morning. The staff took care of us very well, extremely friendly- especially Hashid (?) who woke up early to say goodbye. Food in the restaurant is very tasty and airport transfer is included. Very recommended!

Location is good but maybe next time the host could be kind enough to give details on how to get there when contacted as most of the local transport Bajaji were not familiar with the place.
