Pros:

Excellent location—peaceful, quiet, and very pleasant.

​The best part of our stay was definitely the team. Lily’s food was delicious, and Braian and Fabien were extremely attentive and helpful guides. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. A special shout-out to our host, George, whose help in planning our city tours, safaris, and daily activities was simply top-notch.

​Many thanks to George and the whole team for a wonderful stay. Wishing the hotel all the best!

Excellent hostel with everything right there. Highly recommend!
Pros:

It was well located out of town with friendly helpful staff and a good breakfast. My room had a comfy bed and a hot shower and they offered a generous lunch and dinner for a good price. I waited for my flight there long past check out time in my room. Very generous host.

Highly recommended! If you are looking for a comfortable stay, great value for money, and the peace of mind of having so
Pros:

We initially stayed at Safari Villa for two nights before our safari trip, and it was a fantastic experience! The rooms are really spacious, the place is beautifully styled, the in-house cook is great, and the other guests were lovely. For the price you pay, the value is absolutely outstanding!

But what really makes this place special is the owner, George. He is an amazing guy who will help you with pretty much EVERYTHING. Want to book a safari, explore Arusha or Moshi, or arrange airport transfers and taxi pick-ups? George will sort it out for you! He knows the right people, makes the arrangements, and genuinely cares about making sure you have a great experience. He even helped someone arrange a last-minute bus ticket to Nairobi!

George is always available on WhatsApp, and he arranged our safari well in advance of our arrival. We made the major payments beforehand without any issues, and everything went smoothly. He is someone you can genuinely trust.

After our safari, we returned to stay a little longer in Arusha, and George surprised us by upgrading us to Woodland Villa, a much bigger villa in the city centre. Such a lovely gesture!

Thank you so much George, and to your fun helper Brian and his equally lovely brother, Mr Jackson. You made our stay truly special. We wish you all the best with the business and your future, George. We have no doubt you will be very successful!

Pros:

Title: Best home Safari villa.

Cons:

Safari villa Arusha was a fantastic base
for starting our safari. The staff were very incredibly welcoming, polite, and attentive from the moment we arrived. Our room was very comfortable with an amazing view. We asked manager George to arrange a late-night airport transfer for us and everything ran smoothly, which we really appreciated after a long journey.
The food was delicious. We tried both swahili lunch & dinner.The breakfast buffet was excellent with a wide variety. We also loved walking around the property and exploring the local community and the local market around Safari villa.
Highly recommend for anyone beginning/ending a Northern Tanzania safari. It felt like a luxurious oasis.

Schade eigentlich
Pros:

Man wird etwas überdreht aber sehr freundlich empfangen ich fand es ganz cool vielleicht ist das aber nicht für jeden was haha. Das Personal ist sehr nett und das Frühstück ist für den Preis des Zimmers wirklich gut. Allgemein kann man hier natürlich für den Preis nichts falsch machen.

Cons:

Wir waren zweimal da und beides mal haben wir kein Zimmer in der Safari Villa bekommen sondern woanders wo man erst 10 Minuten hinlaufen musste. Frühstück war in der anderen Unterkunft viel schlechter so das wir beim zweiten Mal dann woanders frühstücken wollten. Der Vibe in der anderen Unterkunft war ein ganz anderer hat mir persönlich nicht zugesagt und auch die Zimmer waren viel kleiner als in der Safari Villa - ich konnte in ein Zimmer reinschauen. Somit sehr schade weil wir beides mal nicht bekommen haben was ich gebucht habe. Zudem wenn man abends ankommt und nochmal Location wechseln muss ist das schon sehr nervig. Außerdem landet man bei der Ankunft und Abendessen auf dem Instagram des Inhabers stört mich nicht muss aber nicht sein. Schade eigentlich weil ich hätte gerne eine gute Bewertung zum Hostel geschrieben war mir aber nicht möglich.

Pros:

My stay at Safari Villa was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was warm, professional, and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The property is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers the perfect relaxing retreat.
To make the trip even more special, we booked a day trip organized by George, and it was the highlight of our journey! The excursion to Materuni Waterfalls was breathtaking—hiking through the lush coffee plantations and taking in the stunning cascade was unforgettable. Afterward, heading over to the Chemka Hot Springs (Kikuletwa) was pure bliss; swimming in the crystal-clear, turquoise geothermal water under the shade of massive fig trees was the ultimate way to unwind.
George took care of every single detail seamlessly, ensuring everything ran smoothly and comfortably. If you are looking for a fantastic place to stay coupled with top-tier tour coordination in Tanzania, look no further than Safari Villa and George’s expert guidance. Highly recommended.

Cons:

So far nothing I can mention.

Pros:

La cuisinière était très gentille
Le portier était très sympathique

Repas du soir très cher au logement, nous avons trouvé un super restaurant à deux mns à pied nommé « pepper restaurant Arusha »

Cons:

Nous n’avons pas eu la chambre correspondant à notre réservation.
Il n’y avait que deux lits simples collés l’un à l’autre en guise de lit double. Nous avions pourtant réservé une chambre avec deux lits double.
Il devait également y avoir une baignoire ce qui n’a pas été le cas.
La chambre devait avoir une vue sur la montagne mais à la place cela donnait sur le petit salon et l’arrière cuisine. Donc la chambre était très mal placé avec du bruits, les odeurs de cigarettes et de cuisine (grasse) en permanence.
Nos vêtements sentaient le graillon…
Par ailleurs pas de moustiquaire autour du lit, ce qui est embêtant dans un pays où le paludisme est présent.

Bella esperienza!
Pros:

Safari Villa è un luogo familiare, il proprietario George, è una persona molto disponibile, siamo tornati tardi dal safari e ci ha fatto trovare la cena, ci ha lasciato utilizzare la nostra stanza dopo il check-in perché avevamo il volo più tardi. Abbiamo conosciuto molte persone carine con le quali abbiamo cenato al grande tavolo insieme. Un ringraziamento particolare anche alla cuoca ed il fratello di George che sono stati super gentili. Ci ritornerei sicuramente! Grazie mille

Cons:

È un po' fuori dal centro

A very good choice for short stays between safaris and flights
Pros:

Very good value for money. Cozy atmosphere, clean room and property. Very kind staff. 24/7 check in and check out is very useful for night flights and early safaris.

Cons:

Only 1 thin blanket per bed, it got cold in the night. The entire bathroom is the shower, everything gets wet.
