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. :)

There is a seating area, a dining area and a kitchen complete with a fridge and kitchenware. The homestay offers bed linen, towels and ironing service.

Bike hire and car hire are available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. A baby safety gate is also available for guests at the homestay.

A quiet place with very friendly and helpful host. We had two nights of very good sleep here because of the quiet neighborhood. Nevertheless, this accomodation is easy to reach and has a variety of places to eat nearby (Gerald will recommend you some). Also for other kinds of needs, do not hesitate to ask Gerald for help: safaris, tours, transport, breakfast (very tasty!), lunch, dinner... he can help you with almost everything. And if you have some spare time here, spend it in the cosy living room, where you can hang out and have a chat. This is not a hotel with plenty of staff but a lovely, clean and quiet homestay which offers everything you might need for your stay.

After a long trip we arrived late to the hotel just to spend one night. Check in was professional. Since we were in our honeymoon they prepared some especial decoration in our room, that was a nice touch. We only give 4/5 stars since we feel a spleep and our tour guide was in the hotel.

    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.

    David is a great host, and the house is really well kept. We felt really safe there compared to other parts of Arusha, and there are lovely places to eat nearby. The beds were so comfy and we loved that there were proper duvets! The upstairs balcony was so lovely, and the Wi-Fi was really good too. Breakfast was lovely too.
