Swahili Villa, hotel in Usa River

Boasting a garden, a terrace as well as a bar, Swahili Villa is situated in Arusha, 3.8 km from Njiro Complex.

I had an incredible stay at Swahili Villa! The staff were exceptionally warm and helpful from the moment I arrived, making me feel right at home. The villa itself was cozy, with a comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely amazing, and the generous portions were the highlight of my stay. I also appreciated that the owner was so accessible and visited daily to check in and ensure everything was perfect. Swahili Villa exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to visit again!

Serengeti Villa, hotel in Usa River

Serengeti Villa has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Arusha. Offering a bar, the property is located within 2.7 km of Old German Boma.

The property was really clean and cozy. It really had nice vibe and the staff was also amazing. They had learned our names, which made our stay feel really personal. We stayed in one of the bungalows and the room was really comfortable and clean. Breakfast was also delicious. The location was a bit out of the city center, but with a taxi you will be there in no time. Definitely recommend to stay here if you are in Arusha!

Enjivai Hostel, hotel in Usa River

Situated in Arusha, 8.2 km from Old German Boma, Enjivai Hostel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I found the hostel via the price / map function since it was never actively using booking to get customers. This is really sad, because the house is worth to be found and I hope I can help others to find it. Relevant for me is the location (bus is close, in the green, no noise, here I have an amazing mountain-view), a breakfast that I can discuss how I want to have it and when I have a problem than I know they will help me. Since the building is as good as new (build not yet two years ago) and the wonderful woodwork is above from what I usually get in a hostel, the location is special and the people are friendly and help me with there connections whatever I desire I can live with a perfect rating what I normally never give .....

    My brother and I had perfect 2 days in Shamba Hostel. We were the only guest in the entire Hostel but breakfast and dinner were prepared with so much love and it was very tasty...thank you for these perfect dinners. Rooms were very clean with clean bathrooms on suite. No luxury at all, but everything there what you need. The host, his wife and the rest of the staff were very kind and friendly. They also took us for a short stroll through the nearby village. If I ever come to Arusha again, I will stay here. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

    Great location and sets you up well if you are going on safari. There are multiple types of birds everywhere and saw giraffes in the distance. Lucas and team were great.

    The food was well cooked and was near what we normally eat. Food was served on time. The lodging was modest and aged but clean. Owners were very pleasant and accommodating. Owners speak good English.. This Hostel should be visited when in that area of Tanzania.

    The hostel arranged the airport pick up which was great. Nice spacious rooms, hot water and wonderful food provided for dinner and breakfast. Lovely garden. Friendly staff. The hostel is also used for voluntary projects focusing on local development activities. Lovely walk nearby in the countryside and by the river.

    The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. No request is too little or too large. The lodge is very tastefully designed and the food is great. Great location just next to Arusha National Park.
