I had the best stay at Banana Farm Eco Hostel! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by banana trees and nature. The staff were super kind and welcoming, and the rooms were clean and cozy. I really enjoyed the delicious fresh meals and learning about the banana and coffee farming. Felt like home, can’t wait to return

Frank was a great host, the outdoor area with the dining table, fire pit and double bed swings were an awesome touch. Felt properly like a hostel but for people who want to have their own bedroom and en suite. The evening meal and breakfast were terrific too

The staff at Savannah House go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and stress-free! I stayed at an ultra-luxury hotel shortly before staying here and I can honestly say that the service at Savannah House was greatly superior than those luxury hotels!! The restaurant staff are also lovely and very accommodating for food allergies, which again made our stay stress-free and convenient. Would definitely recommend!! Don’t miss Swahili local food please 🙏🏿

I stayed here for two nights while travelling solo in Tanzania and felt super safe and comfortable the whole time. You can tell right away that this is a very new hostel – everything is freshly renovated, clean, and not worn out at all, which makes it easy to feel at home. The location is great too: not far from the main road, so it’s quick and easy to get around with boda-bodas, the local motorbike taxis, or tuk tuks. Communication with the team was smooth and uncomplicated, and everything worked out perfectly. I would definitely come back and can highly recommend this place to other travellers!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

The best hostel I've ever been to.

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.
