Lukas M.
Innocent made the stay feel like a home away from home. We had good conversations and laughs, and he helped with all sorts of things, from printing visas to taking me to the bus station early in the morning. The rooms are clean and spacious. It's a quiet little oasis in busy Arusha, and one of the best places I stayed on my trip through Tansania and Kenya. I came back twice after my first stay, so I can easily recommend it. Innocent also offers tours. I didn't take one, but they seemed nice.

I spent three nights here, one before safari and two after, and the kindness of Innocent and the team really stayed with me. They helped with an airport transfer and safari booking, and the safari was a wonderful, reasonably priced, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The accommodation was nice and inexpensive, and I appreciated the privacy, garden, and good Wi-Fi for relaxing or working. Castro is a very nice, laid-back dog too. Thanks for everything, and those five stars are from the heart.

Everyone was so welcoming, and the place was clean and tidy. It felt safe both inside the lovely home and while walking through the small village. Getting there by car is a little tricky, but the price reflects the location, and it was well worth it. I wish I'd stayed longer. There's also a very friendly pup.

Innocent shared lots of useful information to help make our stay go well, and arranged an amazing safari for us between our two nights at the house. He's a dedicated host who really wants guests to have a great experience. We also had some lovely evenings around the garden fire.

Innocent is the best host in Arusha. The accommodation is lovely, and communication in English was great. If you're thinking of a safari or another trip, he can suggest options at the best price. I'd book here again, 5/5.
