Overall the place is nice, like a mid level local hotel. The grounds and staff were pleasant and peaceful however the road to get there was not good as we took two different paths to get there by a driver who did not know and the roads were very rough and bumpy. The area surrounding the hotel are like what you see in movies. The place is getting more developed as the area is relatively new but next to the hills which are water logged

The road to the property is a rough road even by Arusha standards. I live in Nairobi and drove by car. It is not a road you would choose to walk. The owner has probably not upgraded the property in 20 years and it really shows

The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was willing to accommodate our dietary restrictions without any issues. Juma went above and beyond to help with a vegan diet. The room was clean and the grounds/garden were beautiful. The hotel could use some upgrades, but they make up for that with their amazing staff!

Warm, friendly, beautiful setting with the lodge s

Considerate, helpful, and kind staff ! I loved the grounds, flowers pants, animals nearby. I enjoyed the views, peacefulness, and the bed was very comfortable There was TV, Wi-Fi, AC that was not needed in July, and a well cleaned outdoor pool. The location was convenient for my safari driver, booking agent and his driver, and all were acquainted.

Best Hotel in Arusha!!!

If you're coming to Arusha, you absolutely MUST stay at Mvuli Hotel! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is VERY professional and kind. Hot water, Free WiFi, Swimming pool and HUGE garden. They also have a restaurant on the premises with a 5 star Chef that makes customized breakfast lunch and dinner for you when requested. No matter how hard you look, you won't find a better hotel in all of Tanzania. My family stayed here for several weeks and we loved every single minute of it.

Not good at all!

This hotel is dying! The rooms are nice and clean and that is the only good thing I can say about it. This owner is clearly absent and uncaring and the management has no ability to improve the guest experience. Don't be fooled by the guest reviews. They advertise wifi but it does not work at all and when I complained they were very offhand and disrespectful. Breakfast is poor and their limited food offer is over-priced. I would not recommend it.

They have the loveliest property! The garden area was well kept, and included a pool, perfect for a quick dip- although a bit chilly. We thought the food was really good at the adjoining restaurant. A quiet hotel, with excellent service and the check-in lady was the best of all hotel check-ins, those two weeks in Africa- best at explaining to us to turn on the shower heat 30 min before taking a shower and other details. This was new to us, Americans. I would recommend this place to anyone in Arusha who would like a place away from the bustling city. The price was good, too, for our family of 4.
