“Very good”
+Funky place with a great host. Outside grounds and sitting area are really charming. Rooftop is good for views and photos. Meals were fresh and delicious.
−Unreliable wifi Not really walking distance to town centre The window coverings let too much light into the room at night

+Great value for money! It’s just about 10 minutes from town, and there’s a beautiful garden at the back where you can relax and listen to the nearby stream. In the evening, the rooftop is the perfect spot to catch the sunset. Louis from the staff is super helpful and makes a really good breakfast too.

“Good”
+everyone was friendly and nice.. Johnson is chilled and a cool dude, .I liked the cleaning lady ,she has a bubbly personality and infectious smile
−Wifi....Wifi is non-existent. If you really need to use Wifi or rely heavily on Wifi, please don't book this place you will get frustrated. Johnson will connect you to wifi when you ask for a wifi password but you will only be connected for a short period i suspect he connects you to his mobile data...i could be wrong...I saw couple of people getting frustrated over this. and they were constantly complaining..but if you could do without Wifi like myself, I highly recommend the place... .I will definitely stay there again next time I visit Arusha..

+The common area which is spacious n paintings around
−No WiFi. I have read the reviews for this hostel that had mentioned no wifi. I thought it will be improved. However the situation is same. No Wifi. Therefore I move to another hostel in city center with good WiFi. The water pressure is extremely low when I take warm bath, very little water. I took 45 minutes to wash my hair n bath. I still feel unclear. The location is far way from town. It is very difficult to find this hostel. There is no real road for 20 minutes are stony muddy, little rocks path. If u go to the city it would take around 40 minutes it called fast pace walk. I am not happy with this hostel,because it has mentioned in booking.com this hostel has free Wi-Fi. The truth No WiFi. and in very inconvenient location n extremely little water warm shower. Not recommend this hostel. Now I move to another hostel in city center, the difference price is one usd for 2 nights. That means 0.50 usd per day. But in this new hostel has good WiFi, excellent location with warm nice, a lot of water bath.

“Great place to stay in Arusha.”
+Great atmosphere. Secure location. Accommodating hosts. We went on a safari after our stay here and Johnson went out of his way and kept our suitcases in the hotel during our safari. There was a place to do laundry and dry clothes on the rooftop. Other visitors staying at the hostel were super nice and respectful too. Around 15 min walk to Arusha centre too so easy access.
−Not an issue for us, but there was no air con so be aware if this is something you require. Maybe they would’ve offered an electric fan, but we didn’t need it so didn’t ask.

+Everything was very romantic, just like in my youth, when I dreamed of hippie camps. The hosts were welcoming and ready to help with anything or offer advice. The owner personally drove us to the airport in his own car. Highly recommended.
