From the warm welcome to the impeccably clean and comfortable rooms, this hotel truly impressed. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to please every palate. But what truly stood out was the outstanding customer service - friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile. Highly recommend!

Bettina

From

I found a home at Aroma Home. What an incredibly wonderful place. My room was very cozy and homey, with a comfortable bed, a very functional mosquito net (a device they constructed themselves), and a great bathroom. "Superbombastic," the warmth and support of Emmanuel and Saleh, the extensive, generous breakfast, the delicious dinner, the fantastic natural surroundings with crickets and bird songs, the wonderful swing on my balcony, and the entire fascinating accommodation they built themselves (they have more exciting plans for the future). They also offer cooking classes, safaris, cafe tours, excursions to waterfalls, support to women's projects, etc. Saleh and Emmanuel are two very practical, talented men with big hearts. I will definitely come back!

Unbeatable price-quality ratio. The beds were comfortable and everything was extremely clean. We had delicious pancakes for breakfast and the staff were available and willing to help.

The best hostel I've ever been to. The people are exceptionally nice and helpful, the food is amazing and made from local crops, rooms are clean, we also went to the safari organised by them and were very positively impressed. I have nothing bad to say and I'll for sure stay there again if I'm near

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!

This property is fantastic for backpackers, budget travellers, woofers and those looking for an environmental stay. The banana and coffee plantation surround the rooms giving wonderful views. Rooms are basic and clean, with eco-generated hot water and electricity. The tour around the property was reasonably interesting. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
