"We stayed at Tumaini Home Stay for a short visit during our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. Andy was an incredible host—his flawless English and warm personality made us feel right at home.
He went above and beyond to make our stay special, offering excellent local knowledge and being incredibly accommodating to our needs. Andy’s helpfulness and genuine care truly set this experience apart.
Our only regret is not staying one night. We wholeheartedly recommend Tumaini Home Stay to...
"A great find in terms of value, staff’s helpfulness, on-site dining, and property grounds, despite the fact that the short street immediately outside of the property appears less than desirable. "
"Really great deal for the price. Excellent staff. Interesting guests. Very talkative roosters nearby. Great places to shop and eat nearby. Highly recommend. "
"Very comfortable bed and pillows. Staff was fantastic - we were leaving before breakfast on our last day and they kindly packed us to go boxes. Highly recommend!"
"The property is an actual farm. Belinda was so friendly and accommodating. We needed a place to stay for just a few hours between flights. She gave us a tour, and even cooked us lunch before heading back to the airport. "

"We wanted to have a chance to relax a bit after our nine day safari and chose to stay here because it is close to the airport. You will be amazed by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness, the delicious food, and the grounds, as the gardens are lovely. You will not be disappointed with choosing this hotel, they even have a nice pool and spa. The only cons were that there is no mini fridge in the room and the WiFi can be a little challenging."
"Our visit to the Sanna did not start well, there was a snafu with our reservation, resulting in us being moved to their eco lodge on arrival. The staff was very gracious in trying to make up for this, and the owner personally came to right this. The hotel is beautiful, i fully recommend upgrading the suite. There is a rooftop restaurant and bar that has beautiful views. The bell tower and market is within walking distance, however vendors make walking the streets annoying. They have a transfer service from the airport that is worth reserving. The hotel has spa services that are relaxing for weary travelers. "

"Really enjoyed our stay at the Gran Melia. They made you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The amenities are great. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful."
"After climbing Kilimanjaro it was the perfect place to regroup before going on safari. Hotel staff was very attentive. Laundry service was excellent and reasonable. "
"This is a great hotel right in the middle of Arusha. Good breakfast, spacious rooms and a big beautiful garden to wander through. Take advantage of happy hour in the Hatari Bar.
A few notes: Arusha is a busy, noisy city and you're right in the middle of it. Don't expect rooms near the road to be quiet. Doesn't bother us as we live in a busy city, but might bother you if you're not used to it. The front desk will arrange a driver for you to take you wherever you need to go, but there are a few decent coffeeshops/restaurants you can walk to, as well."
