I can’t say anything bad :)

Everything was amazing! The place is very well located, in a quiet zone close to the downtown of Arusha, it was absolutely clean and comfortable. Also the hotel rooms and decoration are cool, as well as the garden zone where you can chill with other guests near the fireplace. Breakfast was also very good (coffee, tea, pancakes, fruit, eggs, etc). They even prepared it for us to take away because we left the last day at early morning. However, the best of all was Anthony, the host. He helped us to book a safari trip, for a very good price and it was so great. Also he helped us with the taxi from JRO airport to the hotel, the transport from Arusha to Dar es Salaam and he even asked a friend to show us Arusha city. Anthony makes you feel comfortable and welcomed in his place. I dare to say that is the best place I have ever booked. I recommend it 100%

We (my family and me) recently had the pleasure to stay at Savannah House in Arusha, and it was truly a wonderful experience for 4 nights. Initially, we had booked only one night but we loved it from the first sight and we booked 3 more nights. We loved the decor and layout, really well designed. From the moment of our arriving, the host Tony and his staff greeted us with fresh watermelon juice, they were so welcoming and warm. One of the aspects that impressed us was the emphasis on safety – from the secure entrance to the well-lit common areas (with electric fence) and night security. We felt at ease throughout our stay - the modern and perfectly clean room exceeded our expectations, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment, the beautiful garden with relaxing spaces. Breakfast was exceptional, rich and absolute delight. Tony`s sister culinary skills shone through as she prepared a delicious, healthy and hearty breakfast that left us energized for the day ahead. It is possible to order pizzas, to buy bottle of water and local beer in the hotel. It was a perfect option for us after safari tour or after our daily activities (hiking Kilimanjaro, Hotsprings, Greencoffee tour and Materuni waterfall), so it was not necessary to leave the property. We went out for a dinner in the last evening of our stay in Arusha and visited a good modern private area of restaurant, bar and discotheque to taste nyama choma (local food). It is too close to Savannah House. After safari we asked for Laundry Service and Tony`s sister organized everything for us (for normal price). The staff attention to providing a comfortable environment was evident in every aspect of the guesthouse. That truly made the difference in our stay - really felt like at a home, eternally grateful for their kindness and generosity. Our children adored our stay at Savannah House and we were happy too. We truly enjoyed our stay! I confess that it was the best place that we have stayed in Tanzania mai

The kind of establishment that, without being extraordinary, is just exceptional; report unbeatable value for money: comfortable room with large bathroom , lush garden with relaxing spaces, impeccable services. Shops and services nearby (ATM, supermarket, restaurant), and during the night you can enjoy the fire being prepared by masai boy, he's Anthony cousin. Also we book 5 days safari with French speaking guide it was excellent , Anthony is the best.

Excellent stay!!! Very hospitable ! Antonio the owner and his staff were so hospitable! We were greeted by Antony and his staff with fresh, cold drinks and he was so welcoming and warm. The place is beautiful! The garden is beautiful and the entire place felt very homey, close to the city its like 4klm and walking its like 20 minutes.The room was clean and very nice, got african vibe, especially for the value. Breakfast was exceptional! All in all, we definitely plan on coming back. We truly enjoyed our stay! Will come back to climb Mt Kilimanjaro with them

+ Cleaning, room, tranquility, super bed, exceptional breakfast in Tanzania and amazing owners. Honest, good people, nice, always willing to help. I wish we had more time. Easy to get to the center with dala or taxi. The area is great, many great food places and authentic shops. Extra clean, comfortable, amazing bed, breakfast to die for and the best hosts ever.So kind and helpful. Reat area with plenty of food places and bars and many local shops that we loved to visit strolling around. Easy to reach city center with dala dala or taxi, really worth it to stay here instead of center. Only sorry because we couldn't stay longer. Next time!

It was an amazing stay from the start to the end. We booked the pick up from the airport to the hotel direct with Anton. Later we booked also the Safari and the climbing to moumt Meru with Anton. He offered us those activities for a very fair price and everything was perfect. We also had to move the dates for the stay for one day without any problems. Anton was very friendly and organized everything for us. He also went with us for dinner, showed us around and helped us with every question we had. We will for ever remember the stay in the Savannah House

No nearby good food choices. Pizza at the place was more expensive than the 5-star hotels in Tanzania. This overcharging felt excessive.

Breakfast was big and tasty. Property was small but has a cute character. Good for 1-night stay at Arusha before or after Safari trip where you just want to sleep in the room and prepare for next day.

Stayed in July 2023

Is a little bit out of the city center but not a big problem.

Rooms look very nice and clean, staff is very friendly, the breakfast was just amazing, and they even packed some breakfast for us when we left super early. We could leave our luggages there during the safari.

The kitchen being outside and the lack of variety in the breakfast

The staff Antony and Rosie are very friendly and helpful

No soap or toilet paper so had to buy my own

It was set where you can see kilimanjaro and easy access to various restaurants using tok tok

amazing staff. Breakfast is substantial and satisfying.

The only negative point was the lack of good lighting in the bathroom. It was difficult to see yourself in the mirror but other than that, there is not much more to say :)

The property and room were really cute and comfortable. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast was amazing! I had lots of dirty laundry after summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. The ladies at Savannah House took it and washed it all by hand for me! They even cleaned my hiking boots, which I was very thankful for :) The property offers pizza delivery and has a small fridge stocked up with water and beers. That pizza delivery is the best thing in the world when you arrive late or are tired and do not fancy going out for dinner anymore! Plus, they were delicious.

The only common areas are outside (which are nice) but can get a bit mosquito-ish after sunset. TIA

A place where you can really tell that the owner cares about the experience. The rooms have been put together with care and attention so that they are unique and cool as well as high quality. The effort that has been put in is obvious. The breakfast is ridiculously enormous and unique. You won't be needing lunch. They offer various safari trips as reasonable prices and will store your bags while on safari. Anthony, the owner, is extremely helpful with advise, tours, and anything else you might need.

First of all I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff and the lovely owners, really felt like a home, eternally grateful for their kindness and generosity. We loved the decor and layout, really well designed. The rooms were spacious, again thoughtfully designed. Our driver Anthony …for the waterfall and lagoon tour, was amazing ! every part of stay was awesome !

Slightly far out of town, too far to walk. Can't fault it on anything else though so well worth the trek.

Excellent private room at an unbeatable price. Really friendly staff and a great breakfast included, plus good communication before our stay. Loved the outdoor area too, and we befriended the cat. Just very homely!

Stayed in September 2022

Quite far from the centre of Arusha, on a very narrow unpaved street in a bit of anweird neighbourhood, quite hard to find for drivers.

Good breakfast, welcoming people, good price-quality ratio, nice and cosy outdoors area, safe and quiet.
