This is a beautiful, quiet property with excellent staff. We had a room with a large king, and twin bed, perfect for families. It is a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Arusha. Wonderful place to stay with the bonus of several monkeys on the property for entertainment.

5 star Tanzanian experience

This is truly a Tanzanian 5 star experience. Service is excellent, food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The rooms are very clean, there is an AC unit in the room I am staying in. The room is decorated in a style that speaks to the region. The WiFi is best in the common area which is typical for hotels in this country. There is consistent hot water for the shower which I did not experience in any other hotel here. The grounds are immaculately maintained. The staff was very kind in accommodating my requests. I started the trip here and ended the trip here and I am so happy I did.

Beautiful place to stay just outside Arusha

Beautiful hotel! The rooms are all separate bungalows spread out over a large park like area which is very beautiful. There is a nice walking trail that goes around the entire area and we really enjoyed it. The restaurant is outstanding and has a good selection. Very good breakfast too. We ate several meals there. The photos on the website are exactly what it looks like. Very friendly staff. We highly recommend it.

If you want to stay in a hut in an ugly part of Arusha, without the safari animals, this is your place. Most guests use it overnight on their way to where the animals are. Pretty “rustic”.

Old building, kept clean and the surrounding is nice but needs more work. The food is terrible, I would give it a one star nothing more. For a Serena I was hoping they would have good food and the menu looks like it was written in the 70s or 90s and was never changed.

The only problem worth noting in my 2 stays ( before and after a 13 day safari) was the inability of the property to process credit cards. This required much more cash than travelers are accustomed to carrying.

Very friendly and accommodating

I only stayed one night at this hotel because I arrived at 20:15 and my safari would start the next morning. I arrived at 22:00 and asked for dinner. Although the restaurant closes at 22u, they made an exception for me and brought out the menu. Very accommodating and friendly! I wouldn’t know where to get food that late at night. I’ll definitely stay there again for longer.
