Situated within 7 km of West Usambaras Lushoto Mountain Reserve in Lushoto, David Crater Homestay features accommodation with seating area. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and a shared kitchen, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The room is new, beautiful and clean. We had excellent breakfasts and dinners there every day! The staff is very kind and David is an amazing host, closed all the buses for us (from Dar to Lushoto and from Lushoto to Arusha), recommended us about the activities in the area and we even went on a day trip with him. He has a lot of connections with guides in Tanzania and he helps with what is needed (he also a guide for safari tours himself!). Very warm recommendation, we really loved staying there!

Really nice place in a great location. The whole family that runs the place is incredibly kind and welcoming. When my guide for a multi day hike I was going on wasn’t responding the family called friends and found him for me and were very gracious while I waited.

    A lovely homestay with a great view of Lushoto. It's a short walk into the centre, and Fannaka is a wonderful and welcoming host, who can also arrange treks in the area. I had a great stay here.

    The Owner of the Galapagos Homestay is very lovely and welcoming. He took a lot of time to sit with us, drink tea and explain our questions about the sourronding Mountains and everything else. Everything was very, very clean, especially the rooms. There was hot water in the shower. Dinner was served in the living room and it was delciously homemade, containing of traditional tanzanian cuisine. Vegetarian (probably also vegan though we didn't ask that specifically) options were plenty.

    We had an amazing time at the Galapagos Homestay. We spend there on night before and one night after our hiking trip. The Owner Steve is a kind and gentle guy, who made sure that we had everything we needed. He explained a lot of things to us and also showed some chameleons in his garden. The rooms are also comfortable and clean and every room has a separat bathroom. Breakfast is also included and it is also possible to get a dinner for a little money.

    I can recommend this cozy accomodation. Steven and his family gave me a warm welcome when I arrived. They do everything to make you feeling like at home. I enjoyed dinner with this kind family and learned about the lokal life. Stevens wife is a great cooker. The environment is quiet in the middle of nature. The owner organized a guid for hiking...that was a great experience. This place is very clean and calm and Steven planted many fruit trees with delicious fruits he offerted to me. I had a very good time in Galapagos Homestay.

    David is a great host and provided us with a lot of advice what to do in Lushoto and beyond. We decided to go for a paid hike with him that offered stunning views of the Usambara mountains. Great breakfast, also for vegans. :) The accommodation comes with a big garden and we had the opportunity to see chameleons and monkeys there. Recommendable!

    Anmut is set in the beautiful mountains, you wake up to amazing views. The rooms are huge and the beds are comfortable- I highly recommend staying in this hidden gem. Breakfast is good- plenty of food to fill you up before a day of hiking! Emmanuel is a great host- he has great knowledge of the area and makes you feel very welcome in his home.
