The place is just perfect, it has a very nice vibe, the staff is friendly and welcoming and the food is the best. The rooms are clean and comfortable, they provide you everything you need to have a good stay. We liked the place so much that we come back after safari one more night. If you are not sure where to stay this is the place.

We (my family and me) recently had the pleasure to stay at Savannah House in Arusha, and it was truly a wonderful experience for 4 nights. Initially, we had booked only one night but we loved it from the first sight and we booked 3 more nights. We loved the decor and layout, really well designed. From the moment of our arriving, the host Tony and his staff greeted us with fresh watermelon juice, they were so welcoming and warm. One of the aspects that impressed us was the emphasis on safety – from the secure entrance to the well-lit common areas (with electric fence) and night security. We felt at ease throughout our stay - the modern and perfectly clean room exceeded our expectations, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment, the beautiful garden with relaxing spaces. Breakfast was exceptional, rich and absolute delight. Tony`s sister culinary skills shone through as she prepared a delicious, healthy and hearty breakfast that left us energized for the day ahead. It is possible to order pizzas, to buy bottle of water and local beer in the hotel. It was a perfect option for us after safari tour or after our daily activities (hiking Kilimanjaro, Hotsprings, Greencoffee tour and Materuni waterfall), so it was not necessary to leave the property. We went out for a dinner in the last evening of our stay in Arusha and visited a good modern private area of restaurant, bar and discotheque to taste nyama choma (local food). It is too close to Savannah House. After safari we asked for Laundry Service and Tony`s sister organized everything for us (for normal price). The staff attention to providing a comfortable environment was evident in every aspect of the guesthouse. That truly made the difference in our stay - really felt like at a home, eternally grateful for their kindness and generosity. Our children adored our stay at Savannah House and we were happy too. We truly enjoyed our stay! I confess that it was the best place that we have stayed in Tanzania mai

In this hotel you feel at home, everything is very clean, both rooms and common areas. Breakfast is plentiful and very good. Without a doubt, this could not be so if it were not for Nam, I would return to this hotel only for Nam, she is very attentive, friendly, and helps you in any way she can. Without a doubt it is the best hotel where I could have been

The best hostel I've ever been to. The people are exceptionally nice and helpful, the food is amazing and made from local crops, rooms are clean, we also went to the safari organised by them and were very positively impressed. I have nothing bad to say and I'll for sure stay there again if I'm near

Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

This property is fantastic for backpackers, budget travellers, woofers and those looking for an environmental stay. The banana and coffee plantation surround the rooms giving wonderful views. Rooms are basic and clean, with eco-generated hot water and electricity. The tour around the property was reasonably interesting. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
