"The staff were wonderful, the facilities great and right on the beach."
"The frequency of the power cuts. The hotel had a generator but that trips out the Air conditioning in the room that we were staying in. This made it unbearable to sleep comfortably."
"The rooms are well-maintained and clean, cleaned every morning. In the afternoon, the staff comes again to freshen up the room and set up the mosquito nets – attention to detail is at a very high level. Delicious breakfasts and wonderful dishes served in the restaurant."
"A wonderful hotel, the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation."

"Right on the beach. Able to go swimming, walk on the beach, and sit back and relax. Staff were very helpful. Place clean. Small hotel with only 4 rooms. Felt very special."
"The swimming pool needs some work. The water pressure is low and the shower heads need replacement as they are blocked."
"Breakfast was great, coffee, tea, freshly made juice, fruits, pancakes, toast, eggs the way you like and sometimes even croissants. Personel was so sweet, comforting, kind and helpfull. Remo and Nasra awaited us, Anna and Zusheina helped us in the restaurant and bar, The food was freshly made and the best we had in Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar. Ali kept us safe at night and learned me more Swahili. The rooms were spacious and were cleaned thoroughly every day by Catharina, Inez and Maria. The location and the view is amazing. We even got the seaview room when it was available from the owner I really recommend this little gem with their 3 rooms."
"I wish we could have stayed longer!"
"We felt perfect and exceptional the whole time thanks to the great team of people who took care of us. Great food, clean accommodation, great staff, girls, security, facilities, owner.. you will all be in my memory forever... a wonderful place, exactly for a vacation where you want to relax. Sunrise right from the apartment. I will miss all of that. If I come back, it will definitely be right here. We will definitely see each other again. Asante sana🙏❤️"

"This hotel is the best place for a quiet vacation in Zanzibar. We stayed here for five nights and thought every day that this was our place. The staff is young, helpful, attentive and caring. Always welcomes and accompanies with a smile. The food was super. The host Antonio took care of our experience on the island. Since we had a car, he pointed out places to see. And where you can't go by car, he ordered excursions for us. The internet was very weak, but sometimes it's good to be away from the world. Highly recommend, you don't be disappointed. But don't forget - this is Africa."

"This hotel is exceptional! It is built into a rock face and has breathtaking arial views of the Serengeti. The pool is perched over the cliffside and serves as a watering hile for a troop of baboons! Make sure to take the brief hike uo to their sunset rock, you won't be disappointed. The dining was excellent and the service top notch. Although we had only reserved 2 rooms for 6 people, we were given 3 rooms (2 adjoining), which made our stay even more comfortable."
Avis de Heather Lobo Wildlife Lodge
"Absolutely superb location in the middle of the Serengeti. The building is older though. There is comfort in knowing that it is a physical structure as opposed to a tented lodge. Food was good."
Avis de Peter Seronera Wildlife Lodge
"Everything! The stay was excellent — the staff were amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was outstanding. We had three wonderful days full of fun, and the kids really enjoyed it too."
Avis de Shay Paje Beach Apartments & Hotel
"Great location, near the city center but still peaceful. The hostel is gated and has really lovely grounds. The pool, sunbeds, hammocks, rootfop with bar, pool table and darts, and plenty of space to lounge around give the hostel a resorty feel. There are also areas to get some quiet time and tune it to work. The staff are super friendly and helpful (some are even up for a friendly completely-non-competitive game of pool ;) ). The common areas and the rooms are clean and cozy. The bathrooms are spacious and... come with hot water! I enjoyed my short stay and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Arusha."
Avis de Maria Viva Tanzania
"Amazing views, grounds, staff, accommodations and food! It exceeded our expectations! Animals can be heard (and seen) through the night and we were even able to see lions and hyenas as we were leaving the camp! Top notch!"
Avis de Anne Pumzika Luxury Safari Camp

Avis de Yingli Mgulani Lodge Hotel
