The property is only about two years old, so everything in in great condition. We were the only guests one of the two nights and received exceptional service. The meals were great with serving sizes so large we were never able to finish. We initially had issues getting hot water and the staff immediately had a team out and got it fixed in no time at all. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. ##### Todd Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oleza Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Oleza-Boutique-Hotel.h100371207.Hotel-Information) > > [Arusha Backpackers Hotel - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Arusha-Backpackers-Hotel-Hostel.h19299139.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasi Tembo Rest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Karatu-Hotels-Kasi-Tembo-Rest-House.h112277389.Hotel-Information) > > [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Otter lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Otter-Lodge.h92213180.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > > [The Charity Hotel International](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-The-Charity-Hotel-International.h37614955.Hotel-Information) > > [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [New Safari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-New-Safari-Hotel.h26819094.Hotel-Information) > > [ Ilboru Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Ilboru-Safari-Lodge.h107725331.Hotel-Information) > > [Masailand Safari & Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Masailand-Safari-Lodge.h20451613.Hotel-Information) > > [Glorious Arusha Backpackers - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Glorious-Arusha-Backpackers-Hostel.h34943790.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Parrot Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Parrot-Hotel-Arusha.h106865605.Hotel-Information) > > [UVIVU by Jambiani Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-GreenZ-Jambiani-Apartments.h37946686.Hotel-Information) > > [SG Premium Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-SG-Premium-Resort.h5218221.Hotel-Information) > > [Kutoka Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kutoka-Lodge.h38857289.Hotel-Information) > > [Leparadis Zanzibar Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Leparadis-Zanzibar-Boutique-Hotel.h108902952.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Palace Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Kibo-Palace-Hotel.h2559587.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Eight Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Six-Eight-Motel.h20386975.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Mina](https://www.expedia.ca/Jambiani-Hotels-Villa-Mina.h32649014.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Fun Retreat Resort, Hotel and Ayurveda Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Fun-Retreat-Resort.h29945923.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarangire Simba Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tarangire-National-Park-Hotels-Tarangire-Simba-Lodge.h21559150.Hotel-Information)
