A really special place to stay. Hillary and Michael made me feel so welcome. They gave me a tour of the village, let me use the kitchen, and we cooked together one night. And they taught me how to make ugali. They built the place themselves and it's amazing what they've done. The rooms feel really luxurious and there's loads of places to hang out outside. We had a fire every night and sat out under the stars. The location of the place is in a village on the outskirts of arusha so it gives you a real unique experience of village life. You can take the micro bus to town for 500 shillings and it's wonderful coming back because it's such a relaxing, homely feel. The best part about the place are the people who really make an effort to make you feel at home. I booked for 2 nights but stayed for 3 and by the end we felt like old friends.

We loved the friendly and relaxing atmosphere. We picked and ate fresh passionfruits from the trees and Hillary and Michael were wonderful hosts. They organised transportation for us at anytime (even during the night for airport pick-up) and made lovely fresh breakfasts each morning. To end the day we stayed around the fireplace! We would definitely come back again! A bit far from town but therefore quiet

The Hospitality was excellent as well as the need to satisfy the guests. Was treated as family and left feeling as part of. Disliked · The location seemed bit further out but transport was easily accessible to the town.

We loved our stay at home Villa. <3 Initially we had booked it only for the night before our safari. But we were so thrilled with the hospitality, cleanliness and kind nature of the team that we booked this accommodation again after our safari. Hillary and his team are such kind people who immediately include you in everything. On our arrival we were hungry and Elisa whipped up a great dinner in no time, which we enjoyed together. We had great conversations over a campfire, very tasty breakfasts, got to use the creative outdoor gym, very clean rooms... what else do you need??? We will definitely return one day in order to see how this Business flourished. All the best for u and your team, Hillary. <3

My stay at Home Villa was simply perfect. The rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable, the garden is spacious and lovely maintained, Hillary is an excellent host and his staff is very nice and super helpful. They can organize every possible tour or transport but also leave you in peace if you just need to relax. And if you need to go to town just hop on a Dalla Dalla, a Boda Boda or a Bajaj (Tuc Tuc) and you're there in no time. I can absolutely recommend the Home Villa.

The owner Hillary and the housekeeper Elisa made us feel at home. Simply said: Great hosts! The room was big with a super comfy bed and one of the best bathrooms we had in Tanzania. Also, breakfast was awesome with fresh juice, bread, egg and fruits. We can highly recommend this place. Disliked · A bit far from the city center (6 km). However, for travelers who like to escape the busy town it is perfect. In this location the local Tanzanian life takes place.

The room was super clean, bathroom with hot water and everything brand new, clean and scented, 1 hostel I met with toothbrushes, the owner super friendly with good conversation, the dinner was delicious fish, I think cooked with coconut milk the taste was second to none, accompanied by rice and fruit, hearty breakfast with 2 eggs, bread, tea, coffee and various fruits, I like this variety of fruit for breakfast, the owner is young and entrepreneur for sure every day will improve his space to receive new guests. I invite you to stay with him, I am Brazilian and I have lived in Arusha for years and when people do not leave me alone I run away from home to rest and now found a place of quiet, when I run away again I will stay there.

We stayed 4 nights at Hillary and felt like home. The room was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Hillary was very welcoming and we particularly enjoyed the excellent dinners shared with him and Elisa, the cook. As a bonus: a surprise for my birthday they organised with all the kids in the village. Magic! We recommend without hesitation.

Tout ! L'accueil d'Hillary, nos échanges, la localisation loin de la vie touristique et plus authentique, le jardin, le repas partagé avec l'hôte, sa gentillesse. Je recommande vivement ! Disliked · Absolument rien !

Hilary's professionalism and availability. It feels like home. The stove mijote very good dishes. The meals are hearty. The premises are new. Very comfortable room. Do not stop at the neighborhood that is under construction. Value for money which defies all competition!!! To recommend! Disliked · Nothing

The house is bright new with quality items. The owner and staff are really wonderful. The owner is always present and was a former guide. Moreover he is really active and help you more than expected in every aspect you need.

I love the host. He really makes you feel at home. The facility looks brand new and is always kept clean. The young lady that works for him is very nice and is a good cook. I enjoyed the sound of the birds with the quiet feeling, away from the city. If you are looking for peace of mind that will take you away from the city, this is a great place. You really get to experience local living when you book with this hostel. Disliked · Sometime the electricity would go out which sometimes affected the internet, but overall, it's was a great place to stay when you are visiting Arusha.

The staff was just fantastic - the host was an ex-safari guide who spoke very fluent English and was very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, bed supplied with mosquito nets, shower room had soaps and the room was clean and had coffee and tea and a water kettle. The reception desk had cold drinks for sale for a quite reasonable price and there was always room to sit around a big table in the sheltered breakfast corner which was supplied with the TV and working Wi-Fi. Two friendly rabbits were jumping around in the yard and every evening the host made a live fire to sit around. The rooms were equipped with instructions and materials to get safely around in Arusha and the owner can easily help you to organize or get any sightseeing trips or excursions in Arusha or any other reachable locations cheaper than alternatives in internet. For us he organized a trip to Materuni waterfalls and hot springs and we were very satisfied. Disliked · The property location is very far from the city center. So if you want to stay at Home Villa and still locate around in Arusha then you really need a local taxi to get to the town (that costed 7 USD for one way). The nearest mosque is not very far away so you will hear the morning prayer 0515 but it is still reasonably quiet to sleep.

Liked · hostel is perfect for relaxing & also for home office work. The only sounds in the environment are plenty of birds species and children playing traditional games & toys. Also i have to say the location (Dampo) is very safe such a good opportunity to experience the local dynamic, i have been in many hostels in Arusha city but they are unsafe by night or in middle of the chaos while a tourist means money most of times. Hilary has been really kindly he has built a really great option for travelers who are looking for a real Arusha experience and relaxing since there are no tourism around so i definitely gonna back after a trip ! Disliked · i like everything, is perfect and new so everything works also they have plenty of chargers sockets thanks Hilary you were so kindly and a really great entrepreneur !

Liked · Home Vila je nejlepší ubytování, na které jsme během naši dvou měsíční cesty Tanzánií narazili. Hotel se nachází v klidné jižní části města kousek od zastávky Dala-Dala Dampo, na které se lehce dostanete z centra města. ✅ Hotel je jako jeden z mála správně umístěn v mapách. ✅ Levné ubytování v Evropském stylu ✅ Zahrada na které se skvěle odpočívá ✅ Posezení u ohně ✅ Úžasný personal ✅ Horká voda ve sprše ✅ Wi-fi ✅ Levný transport na letiště Při další návštěvě Arushi určitě navštívíme.
