Fantastic stay!
Wonderful place and fantastic food. We had to find a place to stay before an early AM flight and they were even able to arrange for a 4AM transfer to the airport. Highly recommended!

OUTSTANDING
My wife and I had a great stay at the Zawadi house. We were met at the reception by Yvonne, Nicholas, and Afti. We felt welcomed instantly. They did everything they could to make her stay comfortable and succeeded at every turn. I highly recommend this hotel and it's staff. If I get back to Arusha I will certainly stay there again.

Not a four star hotel
It was too overpriced for the room we got and for it’s 4-star renown. It needs renovation, specially the bath. Otherwise it has warm water, ok wi-fi. The staff are helpful to arrange a taxi.

Very lovely boutique hotel
My time at Zawadi House Lodge was perfect. It is a very quiet establishment that proved to be a perfect place to recover from my long flights from Melbourne, Australia.
The lodge is nestled in a suburb of Arusha and it is a little piece of paradise. The lush garden keeps the place nice and cool and the furnishings are very comfortable. There were tea and coffee making facilities in my room and the shower was high preasure and very hot (which was ideal). Bed was also very comfortable with lots of pillows.
Breakfast was made fresh to order and was filling and tasty. I also dined in in the evening and enjoyed a variety of local dishes that were enoyable and of good value. Internet was also good, enabling mebto do some work on Xero.
When i wanted to go in to town, staff (the lovely Regina) organised a trustworthy and reliable driver for me.
The city centre is exceptionally busy and I was happy to be in a more peaceful and quiet location on the outskirts.
The staff were all professional, friendly and exceptionally helpful.

1 star motel. Ratings are bogus
Property is run down. It’s not what it looks like in the pictures. Also the reviews for this property appears to be bogus.
In the USA this property would get a 1 star rating. No microwave or refrigerator in the room.
Plus points are good service, clean and safe room

Wir waren für eine Nacht vor der Safari im Zawadi House. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, sicher abgegrenzt und hat ein schönes kulturelles Flair! Das Essen war gut und preislich in Ordnung und grosse Portionen. Die Angestellten sind sehr scheu und ruhig aber jederzeit sehr freundlich. Wie alles in Arusha, war die Unterkunft etwas abgelegen und keine Restaurants in der Umgebung. Als wir um 14.00 Uhr ankamen, gab es im Hotel leider keine Möglichkeit um zu essen und wir mussten ein Tuktuk nehmen, welches uns 15 Min. zum nächsten Restaurant gebracht hat. War nicht schlimm, aber wir hätten es geschätzt, nach einer langen Reise im Hotel etwas kleines essen zu können. Ansonsten war alles top und wir empfehlen die Unterkunft gerne weiter!

Great and unique environment. Fantasticx friendly staff. Rooms have essential amenities like USB port charging. Only drawback would be its location, which is a bit out of the town and away from key locations in town.
