Nice and cozy place

Ilan 9/10

Brazil 🇧🇷

Pros: The staff, food and rooms. Staff: super friendly and helpful, especially the concierge/cooker Lina. She was always available to help us with what we needed. She even helped us with Safari tours and laundry services. The breakfast: one of the highlights of Mambo! It's very well served and cooked with passion. The rooms: so quiet and peaceful! You wake up with the birds sing.

Cons: The location: it's a bit far out of the tourist track and it can feel a bit unsafe when driving at night. Also, Mambo Hideaway is not in Google Maps. The shower: when several guests take shower at the same time, there is not enough hot water for everyone.

Hideaway

Pros: Mambo Hideaway is a tucked away in a small dirtroad and not so easy to find. We liked the place very much. It was quiet, clean and Lina was very helpfull. We didn't go out for dinner, because of Linas good cooking :)

Recommended place when staying in Arusha!

Pros: Really nice, calm and clean room. Breakfast was amazing. They make whatever you like. Seems a bit outside center, but you can take the “badjadji”(tuk tuk) or taxi and you’re there in a minute. It is also ideally located if you want to visit a coffeefarm or one of the waterfalls. You can go for an organised trip or hike yourself like we did. Tip: negotiate the price for the taxi to citycenter and airport.

Cons: Nothing. It was so perfect!

Homely Guesthouse

Pros: Homely feel and decor, friendly staff, breakfast was simple but good, not far off the main road.

Cons: Not much restaurant or shops nearby. There was a friendly dog which roamed around but not for everyone.

Ok for one night.

Pros: The accommodation was clean, nice and comfortable. We had dinner there too and I was tasty.

Cons: I must say that I was very surprised with the price of the food. I ordered dinner and was shocked to learn that a plate of french frise chips is USD 10. On the menu there were not prices, but I didn’t even think that the price would be higher than in an luxurious restorant. I must admit that food was very nice though.

Uma casa em Arusha

Pros: A Lina é o tesouro mais bem escondido da Tanzânia! :) Através do seu sorriso, disponibilidade e simpatia constantes, ela torna a estadia no Mambo como se estivéssemos em casa. E o pequeno almoço é inacreditável, super saboroso :)
