Great staff, great owner, great dogs. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was moved from Wakawaka Hostel to the Wakawaka House as the hostel was rather empty. Both places are very close to the center. Would recommend!!

"Very Good"

David and Victoria were the best hosts. They are very kind and caring people. They are really trying to make this place feel like home. I enjoyed coming back multiple times after trips around Arusha. They also helped organizing my further travels. There are also some volunteers living there. Victoria cooks breakfast for the guests and also a dinner for the volunteers, which I was invited some times. Even though I booked a dorm bed, I got my own room with a double bed and bathroom. The property is a 20 min walk from the city center, the last 5 min being a dirt road, which bold unfortunately doesnt recognize as a pick up place. WiFi is working well in the common area.

"Exceptional"

The hostel is a house with comfortable rooms, nice beds and locking cupboards for your things. The staff are nice and friendly. It's very clean. I can easily walk to coffee, restaurants and shops. The wifi is good. I stayed here before and after my safari trip. I would recommend it if you want somewhere quiet and chill and don't want a party hostel vibe.

This place attracts like minded intrepid travelers. Met some amazing people from all over. David, the owner, knows so mych about the area and Safaris. The staff was so kind. Did laundry, ate good food around table, and enjoyed the family like atmosphere.

The owners are fantastic. to be clear, there are two properties: wakawaka house and wakawaka hostel. I stayed in hostel one night and David (owner) knew itd be empty so opted to move me to house where it was more lively. both properties are great, but house is a better location. fast wifi for working, great blankets and pillows on beds. David is more of a a friend than a host and Josephat is extremely accommodating. They will help you book tours

The room nice and clean, but very standard for a guesthouse. The security is very high and the house is placed in a queried part of the city. James is exceled host. He will take care of you. His is a very lovely person, who really will like to help, if you have any question or needs at your stay. Personally I wish James all kinds of luck and hope he will find his opportunity to start at his finale studies. James is good man with excellent perspectives. Best Regards Rasmus & Hans from Denmark

I had a good time at Wakawaka, especially in connection with the friendliness of the staff and owner here. The ambiance was very personal and familial, they were very supportive in recommending things to do and to help with things I needed done.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was just right for me and my husband to stay a few nights and explore the city. The rooms were clean and simple but all we needed!

Wakawaka Hostel/house was our home in Arusha for a week. Perfect location, close to several cafes and restaurants. A very calm and silent street. Very comfortable room, hot bath and the staff helped us with everything. Owner David is a wonderful person and he also helps to organize safaris.

Such a warm welcoming from David in his house! He made us fell at home and part of his family straight away! We had some bad luck but he was here to help and support us. We'll be back without any hesitation if we have the chance to come back. Thanks again for welcoming as you did in your family!

David is the most amazing host ever, everything you need he will sort out and make sure you are comfortable and have what you need during your stay. Very relaxing vibe and had a lot of fun chilling out and speaking with other travellers at the hospital. I would thoroughly recommend staying here and next time I stay in Tanzania I will be back!

A most delightful establishment - comfortable beds, quiet room, good vibes, and some of the biggest names in town! Word on the street is that Diamond Platnumz has even visited and composed a tune about his stay. We used it as a base in Arusha for a week or so and had a great time. Highly recommended!
