It is a bit far from town and other facilities, but if you just need a place to eat, relax and sleep it is perfect!

Nice food and tasty breakfast. Not a big menu but every day a special starter, main dish and dessert. Nice and quiet area. I can imagine this will be a wonderful stop after a safari!

The only thing I’d suggest is an adding a sheer curtain on the windows so you can keep your privacy but still let the light in during the day.

The communication with the owner Yann before I arrived was so helpful. He exudes kindness and compassion. I did a last minute booking after my connecting flights were cancelled twice which resulted in spending a surprise day in Rwanda en route from South Africa. I arrived around 5am; no sleep for 72 hours. Yann allowed me to check in so early and at that obscene hour which I was incredibly grateful for. Thank you again, Yann. The place: you’re about a 25 minute drive from town (Arusha), located on a long dirt road. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and tranquility, you will find it here. It’s a residential area on one side of the road (including Dan Stam), with rolling fields of green on the other as far as you can see of corn, black beans, and other produce. There are a couple schools on the same road. Locals sell their fruit and veg about a 10 minute walk from here: walk down the street toward the main road and make a left where you see a small yellow dwelling with a light blue gate— “Adela’s and Grandchildren Shop.” A bit down this road you will see people selling produce from blankets on the ground. Oh and fyi, there is no working ATM in the area so bring cash but I’d only carry a little with you. I’d also suggest using a crossbody bag. I felt safe here, but it is an impoverished area and foreigners appear to “have money.” So it’s best not to tempt potential thieves to snatch your bag which does happen on occasion. The rooms are spotless, spacious, and with hot showers that don’t run out. They do a beautiful, generous breakfast. The fresh squeezed passion fruit juice was a highlight. The prices for dinner are very reasonable; about the same as in town. You must try the Mtori soup (traditional Tanzanian banana stew). Velvety creamy, rich, and filling. Mmm. And with a side of Mchicha. 😉 Keep in mind friends, if you choose to pay for meals at the hotel with a credit card you will be charged a 5% additional fee.

Nothing. We loved it

The hotel is wonderful. It's far from the city center, but that's what we wanted since we wished to relax before our Kilimanjaro trek. The rooms are beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff is delightful and welcoming. If I ever go back to Arusha, I plan on staying there again. It's a beautiful oasis in a busy town. The food was delicious, especially breakfast.

This hotel / B&B is so lovely. Perfectly located just out of Arusha town and on the road toward Namanga. We stayed here after 7 weeks camping / road tripping through South-East Africa and it was a highlight. The rooms were so clean, cozy and the showers were excellent. Lovely staff and a great breakfast. We would stay here again and again when visiting Arusha. :)

Best bed of all Arusha. Very quiet area. Close to Arusha airport.

The wifi was not working perfectly but that day even the mobile phone data was not working so I think it was more an issue of the internet provider

I usually stay at another place when in Arusha but I read the reviews about comfortable beds and quiet area.. I confirm all of the above! Best sleep I had in months! And the restaurant cooks homemade dinners.

The staff and quality of service was outstanding, they all went above and beyond to ensure my stay met my needs and that I was more than comfortable. I needed to work which involved a few video calls and Yann even got a back up router for me to make sure my calls were smooth which was super kind but the internet was top notch otherwise (very rare for Tanzania!). The meals were absolutely delicious and very fresh, I stayed a few days and was spoiled for choice. My room was very spacious and comfortable, it was set in a lovely garden where there were hummingbirds and it was a very calming and beautiful space to stay. Thank you all for looking after me so well!

The location is excellent as it is close to the road from Arusha to Namanga and the ring road around Arusha. Very friendly staff and Yann is a friendly and helpful host who makes guests feel very welcome. Good food and a COVID safe dining area.

Nothing, was an all round excellent experience

From the airport pick-up till the end of our stay all was perfect. The hotel staff and especially Yann made sure that our stay is unforgettable! We had a chance to learn more about life in Tanzania and Arusha City, as well as a visit to a local brewery. Highlight was my ceremonial wooden club purchase - i'll take it with me everywhere! Rooms are spotless and done with taste. The garden is peaceful and breakfast ultimate satisfaction! WiFi works in rooms well. We also loved a walk alongside a coffee and maze field just outside the hotel. Local villagers are very friendly and loved seeing us around. Highly recommend!

We spent one night there on our way to our safari and felt like we were home. The personel is great and very friendly and made us feel welcome. The place looks really clean and neat. We were so pleased with the service that we decided to spend another night there on our way back from the safari before flying to Zanzibar. The restaurant is also great!
