Very very nice place to stay. Little bit out of town but with bolt or one of the bodas you’ll be fine. They have a good tour operator with fair prices. They wil help you with everything especially Nam she’s the best. She helped me so much with getting my bag back from Naribi. “Budget” hostel probably one of the best in Arusha
The location is not the best but it’s not like there is so much to do in Arusha town anyway. To the nearest pool at the lodge is around 2euros, 9 minutes by motorbike. And to center maybe 2,5 and 12 minutes.

My stay at the Mambo Arusha was really lovely, and the fellow guest were kind and great to talk to. Our beautiful host was very charming, and her mango smoothies were incredible, and her dinner and breakfasts just as good. The location is great and easy to get a Bolt into town.

The hostel is a little haven of peace and tranquility in the bustling city of Arusha. The landlady, Naam, is very friendly and hospitable. And a great cook to boost! She really made us feel very welcome and gave us a home away from home!

We stayed at Mambo Arusha hostel for two nights before starting our Mount Kilimanjaro trek. The hostel had everything we could need! We enjoyed a delicious breakfast both mornings and loved the dinner that was made fresh for us as well. Our host helped us organize a taxi to Arusha and answered all our questions with ease. The yard and terrace were very pleasant to hangout in and were put to good use when we were laying out our gear the day before the climb.
Nothing! We loved staying here.

The hostel is beautifully decorated and located about 80m from the main road to Arusha.
The hospitality is great, primarily thanks to the awesome hostess Nam, who is also responsible for the greatest breakfast we had in Tanzania!
We enjoyed every day of our stay here and will definitety return if we're ever in the area.
For tall men like us the beds are bit short, but if you lay a bit diagonal it's no problem.

The staff at Mambo Hostel were exceptional special mention to Nam and Azizz. They all waited for me to arrive despite the fact that I arrived late from Lusaka to Arusha. I also enjoyed the breakfast, specially made by Nam. Thank you for the warm reception. Definitely coming back again!

Clean, nice hostel with a big living room and porch. Well decorated. Breakfast was super nice! The hostess helped us find a bar to watch the soccer game :)
Bit far from city centre (15-20min by taxi), but no problem if you use bolt app.

In this hotel you feel at home, everything is very clean, both rooms and common areas. Breakfast is plentiful and very good. Without a doubt, this could not be so if it were not for Nam, I would return to this hotel only for Nam, she is very attentive, friendly, and helps you in any way she can. Without a doubt it is the best hotel where I could have been

The staff were very friendly, great breakfasts, and great outdoor bar. We stayed in the ‘tent’, which was very comfortable and fun, and has a wonderful outdoor bathroom (though not private to the room).

Mambo Arusha Hostel was very clean. Shared bathroom was large with hot water shower. The staff super friendly, especially Nam. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable in every way. She even helped us print our Kenyan visas. Nam also coordinated our shuttle to Nairobi. She is a true gem and made us feel like family. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Great value for our money and wonderful breakfast provided.
Everything was great.

very cute design, lovely people, good breakfast, comfy bed. overall very good value for money
the only issue was with the electricity and hot water although not the hotels fault. as we were explained most of locals and small hotels/ hostels without their own generator depends on when the electricity for Arusha is provided.
so we did have it upon just arrival and then it was switched off ( in whole area) until about 22:00

The tent is very cozy and romantic and best of all, close to the bar :)
There is some noise from the street in the evening, this is however not an issue unless you are an early sleeper

- The owners, the owners, the owners. We have rarely felt so welcoming in a hotel/hostel or even at home.
- Food: We had exceptional dinner and breakfast, also prepared lovely by the owners.
- Rooms: rather small, but very clean, comfy and they do their job perfectly
- Bathrooms: we did not have our own bathroom, normally we are not big fans of this - but here with the bathrooms being so clean, even wirh warm water, we had no problem at all.
- the chicken screaming in the morning did disturb our sleep a bit
- (Note if you are sleeping in the tent: rather cold - but with the adequate equipment you will manage)
