It was a great opportunity to spend with the families. I will never forget their kindness and warm heart. If you would like to enjoy with local people, I highly recommend this house. It was more than expected. They take care of me when I got done. I can't find the appropriate words but I really appreciate their all kindness and All foods they provide for the guests are awesome. You should try it. Thanks to Ema, Rose, the father and others. I will definitely visit there again.

Nice staff, Good breakfast, wifi okay, all pretty good. Moved to gallivanter hostel when I returned to Dar a week later because I wanted to see how it was in a different hostel. Wish I didn't. Now I wished I booked nest haven again instead. Oh well.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
