Fantastic stay!

Wonderful place and fantastic food. We had to find a place to stay before an early AM flight and they were even able to arrange for a 4AM transfer to the airport. Highly recommended!

The grounds and common areas at the Zawadi House are absolutely beautiful, So peaceful and green. The rooms are average but definitely comfortable. Additionally the breakfast was great and included a small buffet of starters plus made to order eggs, etc. we enjoyed our 1 night stay here (before our safari) very much m.

Perfect hotel for overnight stay before safari

Stayed here 2 nights, one before and one after a safari. The room was clean and the service was ok, however the price of the dinner varied a lot from one evening to another.

My Stay at Zawadi House was great. Great food, friendly staff, and in a quiet area surrounded by nature. My hosts took great care of me and catered to my personal needs whenever i asked, and even offered at times when i didn't ask. I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Arusha.

First night before start of safari, very good stay

Our first night in Tanzania before the start of our safari. The hotel is set back from the main road but very pretty property with excellent service. Would def recommend for people coming through Arusha.

Zawadi House provides a welcome and well designed respite in Arusha. The staff provided excellent service and could not be more helpful.

Friendly staff, problems with safe lock, water supply and electricity outages. Very quiet and conveniently located. No place to sit in the garden, no lawn furniture.

OUTSTANDING

My wife and I had a great stay at the Zawadi house. We were met at the reception by Yvonne, Nicholas, and Afti. We felt welcomed instantly. They did everything they could to make her stay comfortable and succeeded at every turn. I highly recommend this hotel and it's staff. If I get back to Arusha I will certainly stay there again.

It is a great place for a good night sleep before starting the safari. Very friendly staff! I forgot my reading glasses and they were delivered to me by the ever so friendly Emanual to my next connecting flight at Arusha airport. I liked my experience.

6/10 Good

Not a four star hotel

It was too overpriced for the room we got and for it’s 4-star renown. It needs renovation, specially the bath. Otherwise it has warm water, ok wi-fi. The staff are helpful to arrange a taxi.

Nothing Special

Hotel in a very secluded area. Not appropriate to leave the grounds for walking. Road to the Hotels is a dirt road through small narrow streets and in very poor condition, even for a 4x4. Staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful but they do not have much experience with looking after guests. Food in the restaurant was average.

6/10 Good

A good introduction to Tanzania.

A fairly small hotel that I think struggles with any unusual requests. Wifi didn't work with not much attempt to assist. The kitchen serves very nice food but 1 1/4 hours waiting for main meal was exhausting after a huge day. The staff are lovely and try there best with what they have.

10/10 Exceptional

Very lovely boutique hotel

My time at Zawadi House Lodge was perfect. It is a very quiet establishment that proved to be a perfect place to recover from my long flights from Melbourne, Australia. The lodge is nestled in a suburb of Arusha and it is a little piece of paradise. The lush garden keeps the place nice and cool and the furnishings are very comfortable. There were tea and coffee making facilities in my room and the shower was high preasure and very hot (which was ideal). Bed was also very comfortable with lots of pillows. Breakfast was made fresh to order and was filling and tasty. I also dined in in the evening and enjoyed a variety of local dishes that were enoyable and of good value. Internet was also good, enabling mebto do some work on Xero. When i wanted to go in to town, staff (the lovely Regina) organised a trustworthy and reliable driver for me. The city centre is exceptionally busy and I was happy to be in a more peaceful and quiet location on the outskirts. The staff were all professional, friendly and exceptionally helpful.

1 star motel. Ratings are bogus

Property is run down. It’s not what it looks like in the pictures. Also the reviews for this property appears to be bogus. In the USA this property would get a 1 star rating. No microwave or refrigerator in the room. Plus points are good service, clean and safe room

Great customer service but no power.

Exceptional customer service, so my rating is based solely on the lack of electricity, malfunctioning power generator and no water. The assistant manager Manuel went out if his way to make our stay pleasant in lieu of all the issues I mentioned. The location is out of the way, about 20 min from the center of Arusha, so figure a $20 cab ride to and from town. It was really nice to have a TV alter 16 days of tents and mountain climbing; it would have been fantastic to have running hot water and power!

I am a return visitor from last year and was once again pleased with my 3 night stay. Staff was friendly and attentive and I greatly appreciated the air conditioning! It's located just outside of Arusha in a residential neighborhood, but I didn't find it too loud. If you're looking for a place close to Arusha bars and nightlife, look elsewhere. ZH isn't a hostel or an upscale safari lodge, but rather a good choice for the transitional traveler looking for Western style amenities at decent price in Arusha. I did have trouble connecting to their WIFI, but I didn't bring it up to the staff. If I had, I'm sure it would have been promptly addressed.

10/10 Exceptional

I am telling you this little hotel is like finding Shangri-La!!! Everything about this jewel of a hotel in Arusha was amazing! The friendly, courteous & helpful staff was by far the biggest asset at Zawadi House Lodge. The room was perfect, cozy and clean. The food was extraordinary and creatively prepared. I had the receptionist find me a driver (Emmanuel) to take me to Arusha National Park to climb Mt Meru for a day hike. Emmanuel helped speed up my paperwork and before I knew it I was on a walking safari looking at giraffe, zebras, African buffalo etc.. It was the best day in Africa to have the Zawadi house arrange for my big adventure!!! I hated to check out. The whole staff came to say good-bye with a fun photo session before I left. I would highly recommend the Zawadi House Lodge to anyone!!!
