I have stayed here for 6 nights before and after the safari. This place is new and clean. The staff is nice and responsive. It has roof top which I saw new year firework. It is convenient to go to supermarket. I am so surprised not many people come to stay here. Bolt is better than Uber in Tanzania.

We liked Everything! From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with the amazing tanzanian hospitality. The staff are all excellent. They make you feel at home. I credit that to the owner who has an amazing heart to his guests. The rooms were very clean and the food was great.

The staff really helped make our 50th Anniversary some thing very special. The staff decorated our bed and table with flowers. The celebration went on with the staff singing and a bit of dancing, and a heartwarming speech by the manager. The food was good and service was very good. While we enjoyed the festivities the staff took care of our room. It is also a good place for families. It offers a place of relaxation and tranquility. I would come back . The manager Frank was extremely helpful.

Brand new very clean and comfy home away from home. Spacious, well equipped with great rooms, a nice living room to hang out and a big kitchen with everything you need to prepare your meals if you like to. Delicious breakfast. Good internet and warm showers (if there is no power cut) Save, secure and quiet. Supermarket, bar and restaurants just around the corner. Host Peter is always there to help with anything and is taking very good care of his guests. Used this stay as a home base during my safaris and hiking tours.

The hostel was very clean and had all useful facilities. Swahiba, the host, was amazing. not only did he arrange the pick up and drop off of the airport, he also took care of all the activities I wanted to do and really makes sure you feel comfortable during your stay. it was truly an amazing experience as a first solo trip.

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.
