Haika Home Lodge

Comfortable and relaxing stay, friendly people always ready to help you and organize your stay in Dar es Salaam, especially the owner Ms Stella.

The facility is clean and convenient. Stella ensured I was very comfortable throughout my stay there.

-The host is very helpful and responsive. She gave us a lot of tips and always asked if everything was good. All the staff at Haika is kind and friendly. They all made our stay comfortable and we felt like at home. -The breakfast was tasty and slightly changed every morning, which was nice. There is also the possibility of ordering dinner. -The room has both AC and fan and they both worked well. The AC cools down the room very fast. -The WiFi worked all the days we were there -The location of the place is not close to the city nor close to the beach, as one can see from the map. It is a quiet area and inside the garden it is so peaceful. There are local shops close-by to get water etc. and it is a short 5 min walk to the busy main road. You can easily get transport to the city/beach and it takes approximately 30 minutes to get there.

The room we got felt a bit small since we got a larger bed (compared to other rooms we saw and that are shown in the pictures) but it was not an issue since we had a short stay. It also did not have hot water but it was so hot outside that cold water worked ok for us. We were told that there are other rooms with hot water if one prefers that. The shower pressure was not the best but it was ok. Overall the room was good for the price, it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The room was clean and pleasant

The location was a bit off, although not far from public transport.

The location is very nice- especially if you transfer from airport to any long distance bus, because you don’t need to go through city center! It’s quiet and clean, staff was super nice and reachable throughout - before and during late night arrival etc. We got nice early breakfast and they helped us with catching taxi to reach our bus.

Nothing in particular, I just missed a dustbin in my room, but that’s easy to change 😉

Haika Home Lodge is the most beautiful and clean place we've stayed at in Tanzania, although for a very short time (just one night), as we were in Dar es Salaam only in transit. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind. Stella provided us with a lot of helpful information before our arrival, assisting us in finding the most affordable way to reach the property from the airport. She also sent us the menu in advance so we could order dinner. The dinner turned out to be the most delicious food we've tasted in Tanzania (I was sad I couldn't finish everything on my plate, but there was so much 😀). Additionally, the breakfast was delightful and substantial. We are grateful to Stella and her staff for making our short stay very pleasant.

Everything was great. Amazing staff, Stella and Methusellah were absolutely amazing. They really took great care of me and made me feel so at home and helped me adjust to life in TZ.

Good location if taking early bus the next morning, a little far from the ferry. Dinner & breakfast was really good and staff was super friendly

international plugs would be a nice addition
