First, the property is gorgeous, full of trees, plants and flowers, a relaxing area, a nice bar and a firepit. The owner and staff are very nice and helpful, the room looked really nice, both breakfast and dinner were delicious (and big) and they have two very cute cats.

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!

Staff here was so incredibly warm and friendly. We were greeted with smiles and fresh watermelon with ginger juice. We enjoyed the delicious feast we had for dinner and the sweet and savory hot breakfast we were served too. We would recommend staying here.

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 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.
