The owner Mr. Brown was very kind man. He took us from the airport early at night and we arrived to his house, which was very cozy and pleasant. We talked with him until the morning about their culture and traditions. In real it was amazing moment. In the morning we got a very delicious breakfast, which was very very tasty. In addition we got a lot of delicious fruits. Also, after some time we moved from one place to another place and while we were not at his house, he kept our luggage. So, in real I recommend to book only his house. By the way, I also found this BabaJay Family home via recommendations and indeed it exceeded my expectations.

Great location close to airport for overnight stay between flights with affordable shuttle provided being a real plus. Super comfortable apartment, although electrical outage (no fault of hotel) affected water availability, wifi, a/c.

Absolute bargain in Dar-es-Salaam, best deal you can find by far. Nothing fancy but for 15$ all the basics are here, it’s very clean, AC works just fine, a nice shower with hot water, location is very central, the wifi is fast like in Europe, it’s safe and the staff is doing the job. That’s all but for such a cheap price in the heart of Dar there is no point paying more to sleep.

One of the cheapest hotels in Dar Es Salaam and for that price you get a basic but clean room and bathroom, airconditioning, TV, good wifi, a basic breakfast, a central location and above all I found the staff extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Even the manager came to say hello. Recommended for those on a budget!

The accommodation was as described (budget). The location was ideal for airport transit (10-15 min drive). The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic, but clean. The airport pick-up/drop-off worked as promised. Flexibility with check-in/out times. I am a returning guest.
