The woman who hosted us was very friendly. We arrived a bit late, and the next day we had to leave earlier than breakfast started because our safari itinerary was changed on short notice, but she boiled some eggs late at night to put on the table for the next morning with some bread, jam, and hot water for coffee/tea, so we could have a snack before leaving. Also cute place, clean, and generally functioning. And great for that price.

Lovely quaint hostel with nice homemade breakfast.

The living room is nicely designed and owner made a lovely homemade breakfast in the morning. Clean double bed room with mosquito nets and wardrobe with mirror. Clean and spacious bathroom. The shower was hot with pressure. I did start the time of arrival so owner was able to ensure shower would be hot. There is a bar outside and secure parking.

My stay here was wonderful. Nam, one of the staff members, was very kind and accommodating. She adjusted the breakfast time to match my schedule, and provided options for lunch and laundry. I stayed for three nights and four days, and felt very relaxed, just like being at home.

My sister and I stayed for two nights and we enjoyed how peaceful the place was. It's clean, comfy beds and most especially the breakfast was amazing. Thankyou so much Nahm for your kindness😊 Whenever you are in Arusha, then Mambo Arusha is the place to go.

It was absolutely amazing & we still talk about this place. Nam, our host, makes you feel so at home

Nam is amazing. She’s so kind & gave us everything we needed. We could even choose out of all the free rooms as they did not have a lot of other guests. Breakfast was always so diverse & complete: fruit, pancakes, eggs, toast etc: amazing! If we had any questions we could always ask Nam & she was extremely kind en helpful :) She made us feel at home. The place is beautiful; an outside shower, beautiful clean rooms with eye for detail, amazing food (also dinner!!) Would definitely come back!

Cozy, clean, and very friendly environment! Simplistic, but thoroughly detailed design, spacious soft beds, lovely staff (host Nam and guard Josi). The ratio price/quality is the best, the hostel is located not far from the city center, 10 min ride on motorbike. Beautiful landscape, nice weather. Everything is just perfect!

Comfortable stay, away from busy Arusha
