Lots of little details taken care of. Food was incredible (both the included breakfast and the supplemental dinner). A real communal atmosphere, and very close to the center of town (quick Bolt ride of 5-10 min). Everything was beyond my expectations!

All the staff is extremely welcoming and speak good English! They are so kind and help you with everything! The food they serve is excellent. They even provided gluten-free and lactose free mails for me. The sleeping room is very nice. Good bed, a fan and a nice big washroom with a good hot shower. The living room is very cosy with a big sofa where you can watch TV (incl. International channels) and relax like home. The price is very fair. They also arranged a nice massage for us. The location is perfect! It's quiet and safe so we slept very good. Sakina is a very nice place to walk around. With a taxi it's only 10 minutes tot he city centre for 5000 tzh. We recommend to go to the food and textile market. It's also close to all the safari companies. We stayed here for 4 days and would love to come back because it feels like home. Thanks for the wonderful stay, Mathias & Nanet

We had an incredible experience at Mazzola Safari House in Tanzania. The hosts, Innocent and Evelyn, were exceptionally kind and accommodating. They not only provided a comfortable stay but also assisted in booking an amazing safari for us. The charming ambiance of the place, coupled with the delightful garden, made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and enjoyable stay in Tanzania.

I stayed here for two nights while travelling solo in Tanzania and felt super safe and comfortable the whole time. You can tell right away that this is a very new hostel – everything is freshly renovated, clean, and not worn out at all, which makes it easy to feel at home. The location is great too: not far from the main road, so it’s quick and easy to get around with boda-bodas, the local motorbike taxis, or tuk tuks. Communication with the team was smooth and uncomplicated, and everything worked out perfectly. I would definitely come back and can highly recommend this place to other travellers!

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).
