“Great Guesthouse!”
Christina is super friendly and can help you with everything. The room was spacious, with hot shower, comfortable bed, good WiFi and clean! We left our bikes in the yard for three days and they were safe (but she offered to bring them inside as well)

“Excellent stay”
The best place I have been so far in Tanzania! Convenient location, walking distance from Bismarck Rock. Clean and well furnished family accommodation inside an apartment. Mosquito nets at the windows, hot shower, wifi, and fan. There is no need for AC in town. The host was very kind and helped me reserve a bus ticket from Mwanza to Kabanga so that I could cross the border with Burundi without worrying about finding a ticket at the bus station. If you need to withdraw cash, the nearby Equity Bank does not charge fees on foreign cards. Capri Lookout is the best place for sunset, but bring food and drinks. Tilapia Hotel is great for dinner. Overall, I had a great experience thanks to this beautiful family

“Perfect apartment in centre of town”
Great location right in the centre of town. So easy to walk to everywhere you need to go. The apartment was spacious and super clean. Christina and Joshua were also super friendly and helpful with everything we needed.

Joshua was super friendly, helpful and easy to get a hold of. The apartment is dead centre of the city, so pretty much everything is within walking distance. Facilities are a bit basic, but at the price, it's fair.

“You get what you pay for”
- good location - very friendly staff members giving tips and recommendations and facilitating early checkin - it doesn't cost much, but still needs some improvement

No staff around, no wifi, no hot water, nothing, Clocked behind four doors. Do not go here!I I see in another comment "safe" 'but after travelling Tanzania throghout,, this place is terrible and probably unsafe when four doors are needed....

“A memorable stay where hospitality meets excellence”
An unforgettable stay! The host Zacky has warmth and hospitality which makes it truly exceptional. The location was right in the middle of many places. The place feels like home. I loved the quietness and safety. 10/10 on everything!

“Zaky makes you feel at home”
Seeing that's a homestay, you may keep connected to your hosts to be guided to the place when you arrive in Mwanza. The apartment is cute. The room & sheets are clean, bathroom ok, WiFi, fridge, shared kitchen & living room. But the real plus is Zaky, a sweet man who will do everything he can to help you.

“a Perfect Place to stay”
amazing apartment . good location , comfortable , quiet, peaceful and clean. the kitchen was very well equipped, I loved my stay there even if we had some temporary problems with the water and electricity (both are not the host’s problem , but the whole area had the same problem ). I had everything I needed on the apartment
