Very lovely boutique hotel

My time at Zawadi House Lodge was perfect. It is a very quiet establishment that proved to be a perfect place to recover from my long flights from Melbourne, Australia. The lodge is nestled in a suburb of Arusha and it is a little piece of paradise. The lush garden keeps the place nice and cool and the furnishings are very comfortable. There were tea and coffee making facilities in my room and the shower was high preasure and very hot (which was ideal). Bed was also very comfortable with lots of pillows. Breakfast was made fresh to order and was filling and tasty. I also dined in in the evening and enjoyed a variety of local dishes that were enoyable and of good value. Internet was also good, enabling mebto do some work on Xero. When i wanted to go in to town, staff (the lovely Regina) organised a trustworthy and reliable driver for me. The city centre is exceptionally busy and I was happy to be in a more peaceful and quiet location on the outskirts. The staff were all professional, friendly and exceptionally helpful.

OUTSTANDING

My wife and I had a great stay at the Zawadi house. We were met at the reception by Yvonne, Nicholas, and Afti. We felt welcomed instantly. They did everything they could to make her stay comfortable and succeeded at every turn. I highly recommend this hotel and it's staff. If I get back to Arusha I will certainly stay there again.

1 star motel. Ratings are bogus

Property is run down. It’s not what it looks like in the pictures. Also the reviews for this property appears to be bogus. In the USA this property would get a 1 star rating. No microwave or refrigerator in the room. Plus points are good service, clean and safe room

Tranquil Hideaway

Tranquil Tropical Hideaway Cozy secluded tropical lodge filled with welcoming staff who clearly took pride in their lodge and their country. Edwin the driver and guide went out of his way to help us feel welcome and assisted us to recover our lost luggage with his persistence in calling the airline as well as making a special trip to rendezvous with our suitcases on the way to safari. Lucky welcomed us warmly and managed the details of our staff and communications efficiently. Victor kept our room clean and comfortable as we rested during the rain and recovered from jet lag. Eric feed us well morning and evening! Do not miss his delicious chicken soup! We hope to return soon.
