Great place to stay - location is perfect for airport or Tazara train station. Facilities are good and the meals are excellent. And as others have said - Brown is a fantastically helpful and accomodating host which is what makes it a lovely place to stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The location is very convenient and easy to access, making it simple to move around. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. The facilities were great and had everything I needed, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The mattress was not as comfortable as I had hoped, but everything else about the stay was truly wonderful. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.

Outstanding Stay – Truly Exceptional Service! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. From the very first moment I arrived, I was made to feel incredibly welcome. The staff went above and beyond in every interaction — always smiling, attentive, and genuinely caring. What impressed me most was how personal everything felt. They remembered my name, anticipated my needs before I even asked, and treated me more like a valued guest in their home than just a customer. The attention to detail here is remarkable — from the beautifully maintained rooms to the thoughtful little touches that made my stay extra special. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the team: warm, professional, and sincerely dedicated to making every guest feel comfortable and cared for. I travel often, and I can honestly say this was one of the best hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a place where you are not just staying in a hotel, but truly being looked after with genuine kindness and professionalism, this is the place to choose. Absolutely five stars — I will definitely return and recommend it to everyone I know!

The accommodation is exactly as the pictures. The host communicated effectively. She is a very kind lady. My booking was on the same day I arrived and yet the accommodation was ready! You don't see this often these days. The accommodation is in a nice neighborhood with various shops at restaurants. It is not far from the beach. Everywhere was clean and spotless. The WiFi was perfect. I had no issues at all. I hope to stay here again.
