“Comfortable, good value stay”

Comfortable and good value for money. Rooms were spacious, and bathroom clean. We stayed one night after a long flight and we could rest well. The garden is nice, and quiet. Staff was very friendly, food good and plentiful.

“Truly loved this oasis of peace!”

This was one of the best accommodations ever! I prolonged my stay from one to four nights to fully enjoy the peaceful vibes of the place. My room was very clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, with shower and hot water. I also loved the garden all around. Great WiFi too. I could work inside my room as well as outside. The owners and the staff are amazingly professional, kind, and very helpful. The breakfast and lunch/dinner are delicious, incl. vegetarian and vegan options!! Airport shuttle service worked smoothly and the driver also helped me get to other destinations in the following days. The location is great to move around the most visited locations in the area. All in all, highly recommended and looking forward to be back!

“Great stay”

Really amazing staff, we got everything we asked for, the food was really delicious, hot water and everything

“Awesome stay!”

The accommodation is very clean and comfortable, the food is absolutely amazing and abundant. The staff is super kind and gentle, they are ready to answer at any doubt or question, and in case you need something. The hostel is surrounded by nature, it has been a pleasure to spend some days there! It is located at 30 minutes away by car from jro airport and 30 minutes from Arusha city centre.

Lovely place with gorgeous gardens, very friendly hosts and delicious vegan/vegetarian food

“so great”

“Hidden gem between Arusha and Kilimanjaro Airport”

Clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms for a great price. The dinner was excellent, and the staff was super kind. Don't look further if you just need a reliable and comfortable place to sleep between trips or flights.

“Nice night!”

I recommend this hotel for courtesy the food and location: we stayed here the last night in Tanzania due to its proximity to the JRO airport (35 minutes by car). Dinner and breakfast were excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was big, clean and quiet. They can provide a transfer to the airport with flexible timetable.

Very nice hostel. Located in a nice village very close to kilimanjaro airport. Staff was lovely and dinner was included and it was very good. Thank you!

“Thanks for all the help”

Very kind host and staff, great Tanzanian food

“very good”

the quietness, simplicity and fit-for purpose hostel

“Perfect little oasis with very kind and welcoming staff...100 % recommendation”

My brother and I had perfect 2 days in Shamba Hostel. We were the only guest in the entire Hostel but breakfast and dinner were prepared with so much love and it was very tasty...thank you for these perfect dinners. Rooms were very clean with clean bathrooms on suite. No luxury at all, but everything there what you need. The host, his wife and the rest of the staff were very kind and friendly. They also took us for a short stroll through the nearby village. If I ever come to Arusha again, I will stay here. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

“Would highly recommend”

The hostel arranged the airport pick up which was great. Nice spacious rooms, hot water and wonderful food provided for dinner and breakfast. Lovely garden. Friendly staff. The hostel is also used for voluntary projects focusing on local development activities. Lovely walk nearby in the countryside and by the river.

clean and quiet at night. It is quite a drive from the airport at night but even when I arrived at 10pm, I still got an amazing dinner that was varied and incredibly tasty! the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

“Perfect”
