This is an oasis especially after days of safari! Dining room and lounge areas as well as patio seating provide lots of space and choice. Food is good. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing with a lot of variety than 5 star hotels, they organize Kilimanjaro day for reasonable price than the safari company offers us

Exceptional. Very cute little guest house. Helpful staff before and during my stay. Remarkable breakfast. Not too far up from the road but I still would ask to get dropped right at the gate after dark. The upside is it was lovely and quiet. Lots of attention to detail with even a power board near the bed.

The room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was lovely, but it took a while to come. The hotel will arrange massages and other treatments upon request. The area is busy, full of hustle and bustle but it’s an ideal location to be picked up for a tour.

Breakfast and dinner were great. The location is not so easy to access if you go alone, but with the help of locals you can easily reach the hotel, which is well known there. The place was also very clean and the rooms were well organized. It was super worth it for the price and length of stay. Zena is very sweet and friendly! And as for security, we were able to leave our bags in the rooms, which had locks, so it was super peaceful too.

Despite the very low cost our rooms had everything we needed and were very comfortable, staff was super friendly, breakfast was large and very tasty. The location wasn’t an area to stroll around in, very poor, but we felt safe and secure.

Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

Comfortable and cozy budget hotel. Very friendly, sociable, pleasant, responsible, and polite staff. It's evident that they love their job. They prepare very tasty breakfasts; they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for us earlier than the scheduled time. We also dined there, and the chapatis were simply delicious. Good location not far from the main street, from where it's easy to take a taxi to the center for 5000 shillings (using the inDrive app).
