Ideal location in the nicest area in town
I specifically asked for a last floor quiet room and i was given a ground floor room located between the kitchen, the living room, the staff bathroom, and the indoor pool……

Ho soggiornato nella stanza Tembo al primo piano, molto grande 27 mq, letto king molto comodo, 2 divani, scrivania, tende oscuranti, 2 finestre con zanzariere sul cortile, aria codizionata e ventilatore a soffitto, cabina armadio con frigo, bagno con vasca/doccia, acqua calda. Pulizia buona stanza rifatta ogni 2 giorni. Wifi buono. Colazione buona da scegliere il giorno prima, sia dolce sia salata. Molte prese di corrente portatevi il riduttore. Stanza sempre fresca anche dopo ore di condizionatore spento. Zona silenziosa. Personale gentilissimo e premuroso. Zona lontana dal centro, ma vicina a The Slipway, ristoranti, centri commerciali, bus. La struttura è recente e ben arredata. Si può parcheggiare l'auto in cortile.
Manca un campanello al cancello, ma se chiami forte arrivano subito. La pressione dell'acqua è poca, ma questo in tutta la Tanzania. Il generatore, quando manca la luce, è rumoroso. Serratura un po' difettosa.

This place is amazing!! So beautiful, I took so many pictures of the interiors. Also the room was incredible spacious and beautifully furnished and decorated. Also, best breakfast we had in Tanzania overall (be careful what you order, we got so much food!!). The surrounding area is super safe and there's security 24hours. The staff are so kind and caring!
The mattress could have been better (but that is just a matter of personal taste!) and a little renovation to the bathroom would make the place even more beautiful!

Lovely, peaceful place.

Breakfast was ok.
I choose this hotel because of the higher booking.com rate. I dont think this rate is realistic. Shower was really poor, Curtain was dirty. Blanket was dirty. Room was full of mosquitoes. AC. directly com to bed, so it was uncomfortable.

A cozy villa that has been made into a guest house. The whole place had a homelike feeling to it and we were taken good care of by the friendly staff. Great breakfast in the shaded back courtyard. Although I didn't have time to use it, the pool in the first floor looked inviting.

The Place to B&B deserves every positive review on this website and more! Alexandra and her staff are exceptional in their warmth, efficiency, and attention to the details that, taken together, make for a luxurious stay.
A few of the highlights:
A room upgrade!
The bed! SO good, with comfortable high-quality bedding.
Strong AC, very much appreciated in Dar es Salaam’s heat.
Clear, courteous, and helpful communication, very nice when I had to amend plans due to a flight change.
Beauty and intentionality in the decor and amenities - coffee & tea in room, nice reading lights, mini fridge with drinking water, lots of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Nothing amiss.
Perfect location, a 10 minute walk from Slipway and other great cafes, etc. Right next door to Capetown Fish Market.
But the most amazing of all was the breakfast. Totally, over-the-top indulgent! Prepared according to individual preferences with options including eggs, bacon, sausage, croissants, multigrain bread, pancakes, yogurt, muesli, tropical fruit, avocado, fresh fruit juice, French press coffee… I didn’t eat again until dinner!
Not a thing.

Breakfast was great, and the want for you to be comfortable and safe was truly evident. Booking in and out was simple and all was easy living. A nice little place, with a great wee swimming pool. The host shares her WhatsApp, so you are always in touch, which is nice. The staff are friendly, helpful, and caring.
You can hear the local bar from the room, which for light sleepers is not so good and people in the street. But I am a light sleeper. The bar down the road is nice by the way!

A quiet oasis close to the attractions in Msasani peninsula.

The Place to B&B is a very special place. The indoor pool and coziness really made it a choice we will easily make again.
We were well welcomed, even though we got in a bit late & were well taken care of by Bakhari. The checkin was smooth and easy.
The rooms were clean and spacious, we travelled with a baby and could all comfortably enjoy the space. We also had a nice balcony where we had a coffee in the morning.
Victoria made us a breakfast to remember complete with fresh mango juice. The indoor pool and decor made it such a fun stay, we had a dip before our departure & were sad not to have more time.
The neighbourhood is great, walking distance from a supermarket which stocks everything you could need & a stone throw away from the Cape Town Fish Market, an upmarket restaurant with live music & an ocean view where we had dinner.
Thank you for everything. When we travel back through Dar, you will be our first choice.
You do need to keep an eye out if you are travelling with a toddler, as there is a pool right inside the property.
Location is great but with traffic and road closures, it is important to note that the time to the airport can vary quite a lot. Good to know should you be on a tight schedule. (It took us around 20 minutes to drive to the B&B on our arrival & closer to 40 to drive back after our stay).

We loved everything about The Place to B&B! The whole place was kept spotlessly clean by the wonderful staff, the rooms are cleaned to a very high standard daily, the pool is lovely and the little garden area nice and private for sunbathing, breakfast is very good, the best coffee! Location is great, good restaurant within walking distance and other restaurants, shops etc a 10 minute walk. Thank you for our stay, we'll be back :)
Nothing!

Stayed one night while passing through Dar...
- Staff and owner were very friendly and welcoming
-Spacious bedroom with fast WiFi and strong AC, well equipped (kettle, mini fridge)
- Just across from Capetown Fish Market, and a short walk (~10 minutes) from the Slipway - two major spots to check out
- Breakfast was superb (best croissant I've had in Africa), and I loved that you can fill out your food/drink preferences in advance
- Pricey
- Apart from the pool in the lobby, no other facilities (gym, etc)

the host Alexandra was absolutely lovely and helpful at any time. she made our stay extra comfortable.
breakfast was super delicious!!! really different to other dar es salaam hotels.

Location was good. Near the beach and seav view restaurant. The room was nicely decorated. Looks interesting on images with inhouse pool. Feels safe. Good area. Breakfast was rich and very tasty. Very friendly staff, we watched world cup together. I am sure the place is better off when the owner is around.
There was no internet. Very little arrival info. The manager was sick and things seems to not work. Payment was a hazard. Ended with us sharing internet from our phones to be able to pay. The seating area outside for the breakfast was the parkingplace in the backyard. No mosquito nets.

We absolutely loved our stay! The room was spacious and airy and beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless! Alexandra was so kind to give us a free upgrade which was a lovely surprise. The staff were so lovely and we felt so welcomed, we really didn't want to leave! Breakfast was the best we had in all of Tanzania, as well.
Nothing at all, everything was perfect
10.0
Great personnel. Breakfast that we got served was enough for 5 people not 2! Everything clean and tidy and a lot of clean towels too. The place has a bathtub... The pool is a great addition. Would highly recommend for chill or romantic stay! Also the owner is the nicest lady on the world! Just don't forget to introduce yourself when calling her. Be polite, people!
The only trouble we had the TV's remotes were not working. Other than that our stay was fantastic!

Perfect for a stay in Dar. Pool inside, very refreshing. Lovely restaurant just across the street

The B&B was so beautifully decorated, quiet and boutiquey and we had a lovely stay. Right opposite trendy Cape Town Fish Market restaurant, it is also close to the Slipway area and really easy access to the whole peninsula. Victoria and the staff were so helpful and polite, served us an amazing fresh breakfast every morning to our request. The room was comfortable, we had the smallest one and it still had a bath/Shower in bathroom, air conditioner and fan. The indoor pool was clever as so clean to cool off compared to other pools we’ve seen. I would definitely recommend staying here over one of the bigger hotel chains especially if you want a romantic stay or peace and quiet.
I liked everything.
