What a nice surprise… I was a bit fearing my stay in Dar es salaam as I knew it was an expensive city and hard to find hotels or guesthouses at a decent price, thanks to Stella and her beautiful place, it was such a smooth experience and journey and for me the perfect way to finish a month in Tanzania. The lodge is spacious with nice bedrooms and airconditionning , fantastic food and great location in between bus station , airport and city center. The area is really safe , I can say it as I walked for hours in the neighborhood and everybody was greeting me around. At last but not least, the host Stella is so so welcoming. She helped me last minute with a Uber and I saw how she helped two French girls with sim cards, buses and more . She is truly an exceptional host . It is THE and The only place to go for me now in Dar . Will be back …

Everything was great

I really liked the hospitality, Stella is a great host! The rooms are clean and have everything you need. Simple, with a good feeling to them. I was very happy with my stay at Haika!

Really nice host which organised us local snacks for our arrival. She served us a really delicious dinner which was very cheap. She even organised us transports from the harbour to the hotel and from the hotel to the airport as well. It was fantastic.

Nothing negative to say

Pleasantly surprised. Very nice host and very clean rooms. No hot water, but not necessary with the hot environment of dar.

Haika Home Lodge is a nice place to stay in Dar. The host is very nice, the room is clean and it has an ensuite bathroom with water (only cold). The host also provided the taxi service from airport to the lodge and, even at a last moment, prepared for us a deliciuos dinner with fish. The place is close to the bus station, not to the city center (we chose it for that purpose).

the room is quite small, there wasn't hot water in the shower.

Excellent value for money! It was a last minute booking and we were delighted with our find. Stella is a brilliant host, she had dinner ready when we arrived and served breakfast very early the next morning before we left. She also arranged our transfers from the ferry port and to the airport. It was only a 15 minute drive from the airport. Perfect for a one night stay in Dar es Salaam!

The journey from the ferry took longer than expected (approx 1 hour) due to traffic but we didn't mind because it was a nice opportunity to see some of Dar es Salaam!

Staff are very responsive and friendly. They offer dinner with reasonable price and the dinner was very good. Breakfast also fulfilling and delicious.

A bit far from the airport

Gorgeous little residence in Dar Essalam, not too far from the airport, lovely rooms, delicious breakfast and super friendly hosts!

Traffic in the area can be dense to get there / other places like the airport, but the residence itself and surrounding roads are very quiet! Just plan ahead and all will be fine

Wonderful. Felt like home

Very clean place with a cozy and familiary atmosphere. Very good breakfast and dinner and fair prices. Stella and her family are making you feel comfortable and they are very helpful. Thank you so much. The garden is an oasis.

Cero

Over all good , stella hrlp.me.find bolt on very early morning cause i need go to.airport Thanks 🙏

Hot shower not work

Very friendly staff and great attention to service. I was very happy with my stay, and was an excellent option for an overnight due to an airport transfer. They were attentive, punctual, and made sure I was comfortable.

I think the sheets could have been a bit better, since they were synthetic, but the value for money is extremely competitive compared to other options. Also, the wifi was spotty at times; I don't think you'd be able to do much more than social media on the network.

Clean room with a big picture window that slides open and has a mesh to block the bugs. There were hardly any mosquitoes when I stayed but there is a mosquito net on the comfortable bed, just in case. The hostess Stella and her family were very nice and easy to talk to - they stay in a detached building on the premises that is their house. The assistant David is very helpful. The local/westerm breakfast is excellent that changes every day. Good wifi. Well-priced accommodation.

The location is in a suburb that's a bit far from places of interest but local transport is easy to find from the main street 5 minutes walk away.

David is superb,. 😊👍👍👍

Really nice owners, I was an amazing stay ! Rooms cleans and wifi are working ! We had dinner there it is was delicious and it was a pleasure to share experiences with the owners

Beatiful proberty with very kind people.

Simple but comfortable, very clean room. The host Stella speaks very good English and was extraordinary helpful in organizing a bus to Arusha for me.

The only problem for me was the location. I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Kilimanjaro express bus stop. But it’s still a 30min walk, including some dark alleys. At 5am every Uber and bolt driver declined the ride

They made us feel home from the first moment. They helped us to get internet in our phones and also pur bus tickets. Breakfast was excellent. They were the best hosts upu can wish for.

Everything, location, staff, the owner, simply all.

Nothing.

Dinner was very tasty. Gold value for the money you pay

The road , not well maintained but that is local government problem

super comfortable bed and all very clean, no frills hotel but everything you need. felt very safe also. great for overnight for airport and lovely staff. helping us with local transport was so appreciated, thank you Stella.

nothing really. exact location could be difficult, but not a problem at all if you ask the staff for help to get around.

Exception service, friendly staff, clean rooms. Nothing short of perfect stay. I'll be back anytime I'm in Dar Thanks to haika lodge for a wonderful stay!

There wasn't anything not to like.

Stella really went out of her way to assist us with getting bus tickets and organizing our trip. We left very early in the morning but she gave us some fresh fruit for the way. She is also a very interesting person to spend time with.

Stella was amazing in everything. She treated me like an old friend or a sister. Breakfast was delicious. They have the best mango smoothie. The room was clean and airy. And the patio or balcony in the morning was something else.

No a/c

The breakfast was super B

Everything was just as I wanted
