All the guys who work there are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was big and delicious (eggs, bread, fruits and smoothie). We would really recommend the waterfall tour. The hostel is located in a village so the road is not the best, but everyone is so friendly. We had no problem walking around, even in the evening. :)

    Great hostel, the room was very big and clean. Had everything I needed - hot shower, wifi. The girls who work there are extremely nice and helpful. I could keep my luggage there while I was on safari. Also, I asked for late breakfast and later check out on the day of my departure, and it was not a problem at all. Good location, walking distance from the center.

    We had an incredible experience at Mazzola Safari House in Tanzania. The hosts, Innocent and Evelyn, were exceptionally kind and accommodating. They not only provided a comfortable stay but also assisted in booking an amazing safari for us. The charming ambiance of the place, coupled with the delightful garden, made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and enjoyable stay in Tanzania.

    The hostel is nice and simple, the staff is kind and available and the price is perfect. Breakfast is served every morning and it's good, and you can order lunch or dinner which are amazing. It is highly recommended for backpackers who are looking for a warm and simple environment. Also, it is outside of the city centre but very easy to reach with the tuk tuk so location is good.

    We had a nice time at Didas Villa, initially booked for 2 nights and then decided to extend for 3 extra nights. The place is within walking distance of the city center (25-30min) and not far from the main road, the room was spacious and comfortable. The place is quiet and nice to sit at the porch to have your coffee or breakfast. The staff was always super friendly & helpful.

    Cecile and Marley were amazing hosts who went above and beyond for us. They arranged our collection from the airport and helped us buy clothes and toiletries after our luggage didn’t arrive at the airport on time. The guesthouse was homely and the breakfast was delicious. It felt like home. The hosts gave lots of local tips which were useful.
