We found Swahili Villa to be excellent value for money, including the wonderful breakfast and dinner made by the staff. They also make a fire in the evening which allowed for a social setting to unwind after long days!

Everything was great! Excellent dinner and breakfast. Cecile and Marly are such great hosts, very polite which made you feel more than welcome. Great pool/bar and relaxing outdoor area. The cute dog Kilimanjaro made it even better. Thank you! We will come back.

Stayed overnight with my husband to leave to the airport the following day. Host was attentive and very friendly. The food is amazing. Breakfast was included but we decided to purchase lunch best decision ever. A 3 course meal was freshly prepared. Service was spectacular felt like I was at a 5 star hotel. Cabin was clean and had everything necessary. Will be leaving fully rested and with a happy tummy lol!

I had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay at Dan Stam Hotel in Arusha. Tucked away in a peaceful, green setting just outside the hustle and bustle of the city, this boutique hotel is perfect for anyone looking for comfort, quiet, and a personal touch. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was outstanding. The staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was arranging transport, giving local tips, or just checking in to see how I was doing, the service felt genuine and caring. The rooms are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished, with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Everything was spotless, and little details like fresh flowers or a cozy sitting area added to the charm. The hotel grounds are beautifully kept, with lush gardens that create a serene atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a long day of travel or safari. It’s quiet, safe, and has a lovely local feel to it. The restaurant serves delicious meals, with both local and international options. Breakfast was especially good — fresh fruit, eggs made to order, great coffee — and dinner was equally satisfying. What makes Dan Stam stand out is the balance of comfort, value, and authentic Tanzanian warmth. It’s ideal whether you’re in Arusha for safari, business, or just passing through. If you’re looking for a calm retreat with personal service, clean and cozy rooms, and a welcoming vibe — Dan Stam Hotel is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

The staff at Savannah House go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and stress-free! I stayed at an ultra-luxury hotel shortly before staying here and I can honestly say that the service at Savannah House was greatly superior than those luxury hotels!! The restaurant staff are also lovely and very accommodating for food allergies, which again made our stay stress-free and convenient. Would definitely recommend!! Don’t miss Swahili local food please 🙏🏿
