    Very communicative host Walter, comfortable room, bed and bathroom. Quiet neighborhood, not to far from city centre. Walter helped me out with a lot of things, really takes care a you a his guest. Try to be in touch with Walter before going there , the place is a bit hard to find using only navigation. By phone he can explain best way to get there. Good value for money!

    We slept a total of 3 nights at Utamanduni Hous and were very impressed with the accommodation. The accommodation has 4 very nicely furnished rooms, one common room and a big garden. Chris is a great host and the staff are incredibly helpful. Traditional cooking was done for us in the evening. The breakfast with fresh fruits as well as jam and pancakes is excellent. The property also has a beautifully landscaped garden with a seating area around a campfire pit and a small outdoor bar.

    Really nice hostel in the heart of the city but in a quiet street and nice neighbourhood. The place is simple but does the trick, it's clean, free breakfast (eggs toast and fruits), comfortable and welcoming and cheap. The staff was very kind, Ibrahim the owner is very friendly and helping and also organises tours at the best prices in town making it an excellent base for many activities in the region!

    The place is perfect if you look for a quiet and relaxing stay in Arusha that you can spend in the very nice garden in the back yard. The hosts are very friendly and supportive with everything you need. Bus station and city center are in 5- to 10-minutes driving distance, a local street kitchen with nice food for little money is within 3 minutes walking distance. All in all highly recommended!

    Had a great time at Wakawaka. Room was awesome, very clean, comfy bed & good wifi over the property. Very secure and good location close to the clock tower but away from the main road so quiet at night. David was a great host sorting out airport pickup for me (recommend) and then info for my onward travels and making sure I was ok. The ladies serving breakfast were great as well and always so happy. Would recommend when staying in Arusha!

    I like to think of this place as a bed and breakfast or boutique hotel. It is a small cute hotel located off a dirt road about 15 - 20mins from Arusha Airport. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was cheap and nice. Location was in the middle of town with so many businesses nearby.

    Great location close to the city centre (the Booking.com location is accurate; Google Maps is outdated). Quiet area, comfortable flat with own kitchen, bathroom and living room. Swahiba is a great host, we are glad for having got to know him and supporting his business. Bed was comfortable and the fruit juice maker in the kitchen was a bonus! :)
