Clean rooms and good service. Tasty breakfast and a good selection of fresh food in the restaurant. The location is excellent (downtown, close to bus stop, many shops and restaurants nearby) but still quiet enough at night. I stayed for two weeks and would definitely come again. ##### Ilona Stayed 13 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good experience.. staff was peasant and very helpful.

Friendly staff, rooms clean and basic. You have a fan and AC which is a plus. Hot water was quite reliable. Standard good breakfast. ##### Johan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Sep 27, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My body itches when I am in bed. No folds in the sheets = does that mean they haven't been changed for a long time? After the itching, I looked at the reviews and found many hygiene-related reviews. This is true, e.g. stains on towels. The location is great, close to the ferry terminal, but there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. The building is old, but I understand that they are trying to improve it. Do they cut corners in areas that are not visible? ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### JOHN Jan 1, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Rainbow Hotel Dar es Salaam The stay was characterised by a nice welcome at the reception. The room is clean but aircon, TV and water heater were not working. The room was extra hot and no bottle of water is offered, neither coffee/tea making utensils. What affected me most are the mosquitoes, I couldn't sleep. While the infrastructure is good, management is doing little to keep the standard. The breakfast is generally not good for a 3 star hotel. ##### JOHN Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dur-E-Aden Jul 21, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No air conditioning in the main area of the hotel. Its more like a hostel than a hotel and that too of 1 star. Bed sheets were dirty n had hair in them. Floor was dusty, towels were brown from being worn out. The windows are not noise canceling so you hear all the noise from the street. There were huge cobwebs in most corners of the room. The tv is 17 inches and all the furniture is way too worn out to be even used. Stay as far away from this place as possible. ##### Dur-E-Aden Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### June Feb 13, 2025 ##### June Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Makoto Feb 9, 2025 ##### Makoto Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kristoffer Jan 7, 2025 ##### Kristoffer Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Dec 8, 2024 ##### William Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### alberta Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### alberta Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jumaa hamadi Aug 21, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Det en j ##### Jumaa hamadi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Audun B Carstens Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Audun B Carstens Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SUSAN May 18, 2024 Liked: Staff & service ##### SUSAN Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Driss Jan 25, 2024 ##### Driss Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jafar Sep 4, 2023 ##### Jafar Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Olga Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Poor -
