The view is fantastic. Each room setting is unique, and attention to the traditional African style techniques is exquisite. Above all, THE PEOPLE!!!! They smiles will follow my memories for a very long time. the food, and the hospitality were all exceptional. A special mention goes to Hidaya, Stela our assistant for the few days we stayed. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home, keeping us entertained and ensuring our stay was perfect.

The staff is lovely, I arrived late night and needed to leave early in the morning so I didn't experienced much the hotel, but everyone was so nice to me, they were worried about my breakfast and they left something done for me to eat before I leave. The bed is very comfortable, the air conditioner in good conditions and the space is very clean in general.

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.
