    Very cosy and backpacker-y place. Don't come here if you expect a 5* hotel experience, but come here for a relaxed, personal and easy stay. Staff and owner are super friendly and the place is very nice to hang out. Will come again next time!

    It’s a simple but very nice place. The staff really makes it special and is the highlight of it. Not a lot of guests when I was there, but as the other reviews said the food is excellent and overall a great value!

    The hostel owner Benson really went out of his way to help us as we lost both our luggage during our flight to Tanzania. He took us shopping himself for clothes and first necessities and made sure we paid a fair price for it. So, not only this...
