The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was willing to accommodate our dietary restrictions without any issues. Juma went above and beyond to help with a vegan diet. The room was clean and the grounds/garden were beautiful. The hotel could use some upgrades, but they make up for that with their amazing staff!

Warm, friendly, beautiful setting with the lodge s

Considerate, helpful, and kind staff ! I loved the grounds, flowers pants, animals nearby. I enjoyed the views, peacefulness, and the bed was very comfortable There was TV, Wi-Fi, AC that was not needed in July, and a well cleaned outdoor pool. The location was convenient for my safari driver, booking agent and his driver, and all were acquainted.

Best Hotel in Arusha!!!

If you're coming to Arusha, you absolutely MUST stay at Mvuli Hotel! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is VERY professional and kind. Hot water, Free WiFi, Swimming pool and HUGE garden. They also have a restaurant on the premises with a 5 star Chef that makes customized breakfast lunch and dinner for you when requested. No matter how hard you look, you won't find a better hotel in all of Tanzania. My family stayed here for several weeks and we loved every single minute of it.

Not good at all!

This hotel is dying! The rooms are nice and clean and that is the only good thing I can say about it. This owner is clearly absent and uncaring and the management has no ability to improve the guest experience. Don't be fooled by the guest reviews. They advertise wifi but it does not work at all and when I complained they were very offhand and disrespectful. Breakfast is poor and their limited food offer is over-priced. I would not recommend it.

They have the loveliest property! The garden area was well kept, and included a pool, perfect for a quick dip- although a bit chilly. We thought the food was really good at the adjoining restaurant. A quiet hotel, with excellent service and the check-in lady was the best of all hotel check-ins, those two weeks in Africa- best at explaining to us to turn on the shower heat 30 min before taking a shower and other details. This was new to us, Americans. I would recommend this place to anyone in Arusha who would like a place away from the bustling city. The price was good, too, for our family of 4.

Duplicitous liars!!!!

We looked at three rooms. None of them had operating a/c or television. Two of the rooms did not have safes that the manager could open. The manager told me face to face that the hotel would gladly refund my payment if I would just contact Hotels.com. However, When Hotels.com contacted the property, management refused my refund request! Liars like this need to be avoided like the plague

The hotel was clean, quiet and comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and quite helpful. The hotel offered shuttles in and out of town, available as and when needed. Food was prepared from scratch in the hotel restaurant, with a fixed but varied (and very affordable) menu.

We stayed at Mvuli for two nights after our safari. I can't say enough good things about the staff in the hotel - these were some of the kindest and nicest people I have ever dealt with in a hotel! Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate every little request we had. The hotel does not have alcohol on the premises and they even sent a driver to the store to buy a bottle of wine for us. Our room was very nice and clean with a balcony facing the pool. The hotel is definitely off the beaten path but there is a very affordable restaurant on the premises with excellent food. The staff also offered to drive is to a supermarket 3km a way to do some shopping. The entire staff was very considerate - at one point we went out to the pool area and one of the employees stopped cutting the grass so that he wouldn't disturb us with the noise. I would absolutely stay there again - we were sorry to leave as we really enjoyed seeing everyone throughout the day and certainly will miss their awesome service!
