Enjivai Hostel, hotel in Arusha

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 .....

The place is as amazing! the property is built on a coffee plantation, the room was clean and had a good view. I had breakfast and chilled out in the communal areas multiply times with the staff and owners who were all so nice and accommodating, they even dropped me to my bus stop when I left. I had a great time and felt very at home, would definitely like to go back in the future.

Kizumba House, hotel in Arusha

Kizumba House features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Arusha. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue.

Nice and laid-back accommodation. Even though the place is in the middle of town, you can almost forget it as it's embedded in green vegetation - at night you mostly hear the river. The little huts are a cute touch and a great way to use the space. Staff are super friendly!

    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.

    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.
