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.

Annonce non conforme
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.

Ottima struttura ed accoglienza
Pros:

Struttura accogliente, nuova e molto pulita. George e Lilly sono sempre stati disponibili e pronti a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta, facendoci sentire davvero a casa. Al nostro rientro dal safari ci hanno fatto trovare la cena già pronta e, al nostro arrivo alla Villa, si sono subito messi a disposizione per prepararci la cena.

Cons:

La posizione non è centralissima e, nei dintorni della struttura, non ci sono particolari servizi o attrazioni. Per spostarsi e visitare la zona è quindi praticamente indispensabile avere un’auto, anche perché non è possibile fare passeggiate o piccoli giri a piedi nelle immediate vicinanze.

Come piccolo suggerimento, aggiungerei qualche mobiletto o mensola in più nel bagno, così da avere maggiore spazio d’appoggio per gli oggetti personali.

Pros:

Honestly, I always look forward to the little things here, the authentic Swahili meals are easily a highlight, and starting the morning with a really solid, hearty breakfast sets the tone for the whole day. Outside of that, just being able to unwind by the bonfire in the evening, grab a hot shower, and actually rely on a fast Wi-Fi connection makes the whole stay feel completely effortless and cozy

Cons:

There's nothing I can mention, because everything was just spot on.

Pros:

Safari Villa is an absolute gem in Arusha! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family with their warm hospitality and genuine attentiveness. The facilities are modern, impeccably clean, and designed for ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring. A true highlight was the Swahili cuisine—every meal was bursting with authentic, delicious flavors that gave us a wonderful taste of local culture. Not only is the property a fantastic, budget-friendly haven, but their tour connections are top-notch. They helped us organize an incredible trip to Mount Kilimanjaro, blending a peaceful, scenic forest walk with an unforgettable hike toward the summit. If you are looking for comfort, great food, and unbeatable adventure support without breaking the bank, safari villa is the place to stay!

Cons:

😊 Nothing at all — everything was perfect.
I really enjoyed my stay at Safari Villa and i had a wonderful experience.

My Best Regards To Safari Villa.
Pros:

Everything was nice from the facilities, friendly staff and explicit Swahili lunch and dinner without forgetting the 3 days joining Safari that George helped organized for me to go and visit Tarangire and the beautiful Serengeti (Land Of Endless Planes).

Cons:

Nothing, because everything was just perfect, exceeded my expectations and keep up the good work.

Pros:

Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in der Safari Villa. Besonders angenehm war, dass wir bereits sehr früh einchecken durften, da wir mit dem Nachtbus angekommen sind. Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig und lecker. Unser Zimmer war schön, sauber und komfortabel. Das Personal war durchweg sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden die Unterkunft definitiv weiterempfehlen.
