I had an incredible stay at Swahili Villa! The staff were exceptionally warm and helpful from the moment I arrived, making me feel right at home. The villa itself was cozy, with a comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, and the generous portions were the highlight of my stay. I also appreciated that the owner was so accessible and visited daily to check in and ensure everything was perfect. Swahili Villa exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to visit again!

Exceptional. Very cute little guest house. Helpful staff before and during my stay. Remarkable breakfast. Not too far up from the road but I still would ask to get dropped right at the gate after dark. The upside is it was lovely and quiet. Lots of attention to detail with even a power board near the bed.

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 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.

A very clean, comfortable hostel. We were very impressed with our room and the facilities in general. It felt very homey but still very clean. Swahiba and his girlfriend are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. They showed us all the best local spots to go to and we even did a last minute day trip tour of Arusha with Swahiba which we thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly recommend this lovely hostel- which felt more like a home away from home than a hostel!

It's such a nice hostel. In the middle of the village and you get great options for local food and bars just outside. A bit far from town but you can take a bajaji for only 5000 Tsh

The best hostel I've ever been to. The people are exceptionally nice and helpful, the food is amazing and made from local crops, rooms are clean, we also went to the safari organised by them and were very positively impressed. I have nothing bad to say and I'll for sure stay there again if I'm near

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!

This property is fantastic for backpackers, budget travellers, woofers and those looking for an environmental stay. The banana and coffee plantation surround the rooms giving wonderful views. Rooms are basic and clean, with eco-generated hot water and electricity. The tour around the property was reasonably interesting. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
