Отель Villa Viva Tanzania, Арушу, Танзания

Abdul, the host, was an endless source of information and tips on our one night stay before safari. He suggested Bolt (Ubers) taxis into Arusha, where to eat, SIM cards etc. nice vibe with other travellers or volunteers. Definitely recommend.

The facilities were good and clean! Mostly everything went smoothly, but we couldn't pay for food or drinks with a card, even tho promised so in the beginning.

This place a home away from home. If you don't want that hotel vibes, this is it. Loved the stay and would make the place my other home while in Arusha.

We really enjoyed the pool, it's perfect for children since it's not deep. We also liked the room, the beds and the spacious bathroom. We also enjoyed the lovely art everywhere in the common spaces (which were also really spacious) and we had lots of fun at the rooftop bar with pool table, darts and great staff and atmosphere. We loved that they organised a movie night, despite the low number of people in the hostel.

I initially planned to stay here for 3 nights after climbing the kilimanjaro in order to recover and getting to explore arusha before going on to a Safari. Fully unexpectedly, I found and very open and welcoming group consisting of other travelers, long-term guests and hostel personnel that made my stay so great that in fact decided to stay two more nights after the safari. Either during dinner, in front of the pool, or the rooftop, is was very easy to get in touch with others and interact, share a drink and many stories and jokes. Whenever I return to Arusha, I’ll certainly stay here again!
