    The staff was extremely friendly and did make you feel like you were at someone's home. Me, the staff, and some guests ended up staying for almost two hours after dinner just talking. Dinner was also traditional East African food at a good price. The rooms were comfortable, the AC worked, good water pressure, and great wifi. Everything you could want from a homestay lodge. I had an early morning flight and they had even gave me a to-go bag with breakfast.

    Great hostel in the very best neighbourhood of Dar es Salaam! Kibe the host is a great person and good host always willing to help, we really felt comfortable and at home during the 5 days we stayed there. The weather was very hot and humid when we arrived so the massive pool was a blessing! Overall, nice big house transformed in a hostel, very clean and big. Very friendly staff. Good aircon. Would come back!
