George and his staff are so helpful. He would ensure that our stay were good. The food served were also tasty and in a very large portion, so if you are not a big eater, kindly inform him in advanced to avoid wasting of food. Love having dinner there, chit chatting with George and other travellers (Matthew and Eric). George helped to arrange few trips as well; Lake Duluti ($30/pax), Ngorongoro Day Trip ($220/pax - shared) and Napuru Waterfall ($60 + $10 entrance + $10 guide - I'm going alone with Bryan). Everything was so good and lovely. Owh ya, and they have cute cat as well. Thanks guys.

This is a home away from home. Absolutely loved it. Hospitality with a capital H. . You are treated like you would treat your friends at your own home. With open arms warmth and enthusiasm. Stories are told at the camp fire and if you want some privacy you can do that too. For us the best guesthouse in years! Dont expect yes sir or thanks Ma'm (please go to another hotel if you want that) but a family vibe where you do your thing where the smiles are real. You come as guests you leave as friends Ooh the facilities itself: Nice garden, lovely swimming pool. Cute bar We first stayed in the Kings Suite, a spacious colony styled, room perfect to begin your journey. After our day safari we stayed in the standard room, quite smaller, but perfectly fitted for our needs (we sat in the veranda whole night with a gin tonic and talked , shared stories and let the safari experience sink in). Good personal breakfast. Great hosts ❣️❣️.

First, the property is gorgeous, full of trees, plants and flowers, a relaxing area, a nice bar and a firepit. The owner and staff are very nice and helpful, the room looked really nice, both breakfast and dinner were delicious (and big) and they have two very cute cats.

We had a beautiful stay here before and after our safari. The staff are wonderful, welcoming and go above and beyond. The dinner and breakfast was awesome. The location is perfect if you are coming from or going to Mount Kilimanjaro airport. We arrived late at night and had an early morning flight departure and so glad we stayed here to avoid the traffic in Arusha centre and didn’t have to commute as far. Highly recommend

I had a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay at Dan Stam Hotel in Arusha. Tucked away in a peaceful, green setting just outside the hustle and bustle of the city, this boutique hotel is perfect for anyone looking for comfort, quiet, and a personal touch. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was outstanding. The staff are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was arranging transport, giving local tips, or just checking in to see how I was doing, the service felt genuine and caring. The rooms are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished, with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms. Everything was spotless, and little details like fresh flowers or a cozy sitting area added to the charm. The hotel grounds are beautifully kept, with lush gardens that create a serene atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a long day of travel or safari. It’s quiet, safe, and has a lovely local feel to it. The restaurant serves delicious meals, with both local and international options. Breakfast was especially good — fresh fruit, eggs made to order, great coffee — and dinner was equally satisfying. What makes Dan Stam stand out is the balance of comfort, value, and authentic Tanzanian warmth. It’s ideal whether you’re in Arusha for safari, business, or just passing through. If you’re looking for a calm retreat with personal service, clean and cozy rooms, and a welcoming vibe — Dan Stam Hotel is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
