Nice place with good view. But Dirty cleaners were not doing a good job in terms of cleaning. Staffs need to learn about customer service. They need to be friendly and kind. No hot water in the hotel even if I called and asked if they had hot water. Door nob and sink into the toilet was full of dust. Toilet were not cleaned properly. ##### MOSES Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gofaone Jan 5, 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities They should improve on rooms, shower sinks are rusty, had to change the room, staff atitude, esp the reception lady, and they should hav someone to show you the rooms unlike giving you keys to see for yourself without anyone to show you around, ##### Gofaone Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Dec 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dirty and poorly maintained. The door on my room couldn't close so I had to wedge a door against it, the bath room was smelly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daphne Jan 2, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very noisy hotel at night with revellers drinking in the bar. Some come in from outside the hotel. Loud banging sound on guests door late in the night. Felt very unsafe. Breakfast is abysmal. And the cleaners stole my perfume too so one wouldnt leave any personal items in the open. Why would i be forced to move aroumd with my personal items for fear of being stolen? I would strongly not recommend this hotel to anyone. Food was cheap tho. And some members of staff are okay but not all especially the Chef and cleaners. ##### Daphne Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ritva Apr 10, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel Ideal, Dar es Salaam, Tansania Yövyimme hotellissa vain yhden yön varatun ja maksetun 4 yön sijaan. Paikka on todella huonokuntoinen, ränsistynyt, likainen, aamiainen ala-arvoinen: ei kahvia, ei maitoa, pieni munakkaan palanen ja paahtoleipä. Ravintolassa ei ole ruokalistaa ollenkaan. Ainoa hyvä asia oli hyvä ruoka! Ravintola keskittyy kaljan juomiseen, aivan liian meluinen paikka. Vastaava mieshenkilö oli koko illan ravintolassa asiakkaiden kanssa ja selvästi juopunut. Sänky myös ala- arvoinen, vanha patja. Pakko oli muuttaa yhden yön jälkeen pois. Aina mainoksissa luvataan paljon enemmän kuin paikan päältä löytyy, esim. pyykinpesutilat! Huonekalut risaisia ja likaisia. Puhelin huoneessa ilman johtoa ja hyvin pienestä tv: tä näkyi vain yksi kanava, jonka joku oli jossain valinnut ja sekin aivan hämärästi. ##### Ritva Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Zmicheal Sep 6, 2025 ##### Zmicheal Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Grand Villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-The-Grand-Villa-Hotel.h58102487.Hotel-Information) > > [Demani Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Demani-Lodge.h36017239.Hotel-Information) > > [Farm of Dreams Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Farm-Of-Dreams-Lodge.h11806795.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingsmond real estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Kingsmond-Real-Estate.h37210031.Hotel-Information) > > [Naf Apartments - Mtwara](https://www.expedia.ca/Mtwara-Hotels-Naf-Apartments-Mtwara.h45842906.Hotel-Information) > > [BaraBara Eat&Sleep - Eco Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-BaraBara-EatSleep-Eco-Boutique-Hotel.h100450406.Hotel-Information) > > [Filao Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.ca/Chwaka-Hotels-Filao-Beach-Zanzibar.h26830985.Hotel-Information) > > [Hong Kong Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Hong-Kong-Hotel.h16102364.Hotel-Information) > > [UVIVU by Jambiani Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-GreenZ-Jambiani-Apartments.h37946686.Hotel-Information) > > [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > > [Sai villa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Iringa-Hotels-Sai-Villa-Hotel.h107629022.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Silver-Paradise-Hotel.h17374094.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [M Hotel Mbezi](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-M-Hotel-Mbezi.h21234603.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > > [Dhow Inn Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Dhow-Inn.h5784649.Hotel-Information) > > [Ananda Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paje-Hotels-Ananda-Beach-House.h36255479.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarangire Simba Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarangire-National-Park-Hotels-Tarangire-Simba-Lodge.h21559150.Hotel-Information) > > [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kibo-Palace-Hotel.h2559587.Hotel-Information) > > [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > > [Sharazad Oasis Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Sharazad-Oasis-Retreat.h89854080.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Mbuyuni Beach Village - Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Mbuyuni-Beach-Village-Bungalows.h2205544.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information)
