So happy we chose this place -- the owner is absolutely lovely, and greeted us at 2am after our late-night flight, and then cooked breakfast for us later that morning. She even arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport, which hugely simplified things for us. The place is also so cute!

    I was at first pleasantly surprised by the price. It was certainly much lower than many other facilities I searched on Booking.com. Well, I now know why. The area as such is ok. It's out in the greed and easy to reach because it's located on a main road. The apartment is in a residential complex which is not a bad thing if you're interested in interacting with locals. However, that also minimized the security level because anyone could enter the facility despite a security guard placed at the main gate.

    Great hostel in the very best neighbourhood of Dar es Salaam! Kibe the host is a great person and good host always willing to help, we really felt comfortable and at home during the 5 days we stayed there. The weather was very hot and humid when we arrived so the massive pool was a blessing! Overall, nice big house transformed in a hostel, very clean and big. Very friendly staff. Good aircon. Would come back!

    The hotel is a bit remote, but very nice and with friendly staff. It's a good place to chill out. The rooms are functional, but not luxurious (what you expect as an European in a boutique hotel). Food is good. There are a few stores within walking distance, nothing more. The beach is unfortunately like the sea dirty and not suitable for swimming. The beach is public and there are a lot of locals at the beach, which is very nice. Recommended especially if you are looking for peace and quiet.
