Villa Viva Tanzania

Clean and comfortable rooms. Great breakfast daily and the people are super friendly. Definitely will stay here again. I was alone and felt very safe. Also the place was very peaceful and quiet and I slept very well. Adequate bathroom and nice patio added to my wonderful experience

I've spent more than 2 weeks at Villa Viva, everything was perfect! Everyone is welcoming and very nice, breakfast and dinner are good and the villa is a perfect place to enjoy (bar, pool table...), relax (swimming pool, gym...) and prepare different excursions. I recommend it and I definitely want to come back.

We stayed in Tanzania for a week and a half, doing a 5 day safari but spending the rest of the time based at Villa Viva. We absolutely loved this hostel and felt really spoiled by the amenities provided for the value. It had a rooftop bar with pool table, a well-maintained pool, some very charming cats, and a gym which we actually used. But the basics were met as well with laundry service done quicker than we expected, clean common areas, really nice staff, the option to eat in with tasty home-cooked food, and a nice chill vibe chatting with fellow travellers. It felt like a secure hostel, with active security guards but the Sakina area of Arusha was a nice spot too. We stayed in a double private room, with our own bathroom. Pretty typical to East African standards, we didn't have a ceiling fan or air-con but that was OK. Showers had a shortish amount of hot water, but the room had good wifi and a mozzie net.
