    We loved the personalized service provided by Anton. He organized airport pick up and activities for us at a fair price. the rooms were beautifully decorated in an African style and had ample storage space. the breakfast was absolutely delicious and the outdoor dining area was lovely. We also enjoyed the company of the two friendly cats, Simba and Senorita. a great experience for longer-term business travelers like us.

    From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Antonio. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated in African style, and everything was impeccably clean. We especially loved the delicious and generous breakfast served every morning with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. The outdoor area with benches and a fireplace was a lovely place to relax in the evening. Despite a couple of minor inconveniences such as the shower being located next to the toilet and the thin walls, our overall experience was excellent. The staff, under the excellent management of Antonio, were extremely friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to fulfill our requests. I highly recommend staying at Serengeti Villa for a wonderful and memorable stay in Arusha.

    The rooms at Serengeti Villas are beautifully designed with animal motifs and provide plenty of storage space. the accommodation feels like home, allowing guests with disabilities to feel comfortable and at ease. the location slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the city provides a quiet and peaceful environment for rest. the pick-up service from the nearby airport is reasonably priced and convenient for guests.

    We felt most welcome during our stay and had no complaints at all.

    From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality from Antonio and his team. the room was exactly as depicted in the photos, spacious and tastefully furnished. the breakfast provided was delicious and there was always someone available to attend to any needs or queries I had. the best part was the feeling of safety and security that the place provided. It's no wonder that there were guests staying for extended periods of time. a truly peaceful and enjoyable stay. Cons: Was all great 😊.

    We absolutely loved our stay at this hidden gem in Arusha. the bungalow room was great value for money and provided a cozy atmosphere for our family. the evening campfires were a lovely touch and added to the homely feel. We enjoyed ordering pizza from the nearby popular pizza place, especially on days when we had early starts for hiking and safari. the staff went above and beyond, taking care of our big luggage while we were away on safari. a highly recommended experience.

    Felt safe walking at night, no complaints at all.

    I had the most incredible stay at Serengeti Villa. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was part of their wonderful family. The staff was so friendly and made an effort to make me and my kids feel comfortable. They even took the time to chat with us and engage with the kids. The breakfast was absolutely incredible, possibly the best I've had in years. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I loved sitting outside in their beautiful garden. The security provided was top-notch, with 24/7 monitoring and a locked gate. It was the perfect place to unwind after a safari.

    The only tiny drawback was that the breakfast was the same every day, but it was still delicious. The location is about a mile from the city center, so it may not be ideal for those who want to be right in the hustle and bustle.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming and cozy accommodation in Arusha. Serengeti Villa provided a truly home away from home experience. the staff, especially Antony and Maggy, were not only exceptional hosts but also amazing cooks. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. the bungalow room I stayed in was not only great value for money, but it also provided a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. the evening campfires were a delightful touch that added to the homely feel of the place. Despite being slightly hidden from the main road, the location was still convenient for accessing nearby restaurants and attractions. the team even took care of my luggage when I went on safari. I can confidently say that if I ever need a place to stay in Arusha again, Serengeti Villa will always be my number one choice. Cons: Everything is exactly what I needed and wanted. 👍.

The location of the hotel was ideal, just a few minutes away from the city, offering a peaceful and quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle. the hotel provided 24/7 security, ensuring our safety throughout our stay.

    There were occasional power shortages during our stay, which made it difficult to charge our phones. However, I understand that this is a common occurrence while traveling in Africa and cannot be solely attributed to the hotel.

    The location of the villa is convenient, within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated in an African style. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make guests comfortable. The breakfast is delicious, with a wide variety of options including fresh fruits.

    The thin walls can sometimes make it difficult to sleep early if there are guests socializing in the bar area.
