Villa Arumeru

The staff were amazing. They went out of their way to make our 25th anniversary special. They decorated the room with rose petals, baked a cake and other lovely touches.

The location was down a very rough road. I think most hotels probably are but I wasn’t expecting how bad the road was. Taxi found it fine though

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The lush, beautifully maintained gardens provided a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation, while our room was both comfortable and tastefully decorated, offering a blend of luxury and coziness. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always ready with helpful tips and a genuine desire to make our stay memorable. The pool area was a peaceful haven, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. Every detail, from the personalized service to the stunning surroundings, contributed to an unforgettable experience. We left feeling rejuvenated and immensely grateful for such a wonderful stay, and we wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Villa Arumeru to anyone seeking a unique and enchanting retreat.

This was my second stay and it was again wonderful. Super friendly, relaxing, clean, comfortable, and great food. I'm sure I'll be back in future.

What a wonderful, friendly place! I was in Arusha for business and it made by business trip feel like a holiday. Beautiful, clean rooms, lovely breakfast, impeccably clean and above all the staff were all hugely friendly and welcoming. I would certainly go back!

Ther wasn't much I didn't like. It a 20-minute taxi to town, so that may be an issue for some. But I loved the place.

Loved the size of the room, lots of hot water & delicious food! Lovely staff- they couldn’t do more!

AC wasn’t very cold in the room - but it was fine. Would like a mini fridge in room for cold water

This villa was everything and more. The staff went out of their way and made my husband's birthday memorable. The decorations for his surprise birthday celebration were on point, the cake, dinner, champagne, everything was perfect. The rooms are spacious. The bed was very comfortable. We had a beautiful balcony with views of Mt Meru. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. I'd recommend their natural juice which was very good. They also have a massage and salon on site. And they had a taxi guy with reasonable rates who drove us whenever we needed transport. Overall I'd 10/10 recommend Villa Arumeru. The hospitality of the staff is unmatched.

Lovely, welcoming staff that went above and beyond for me and were really communicative. Room / closet / bathroom were huge. Property was really beautiful - stunning outside area.

Aircon was noisy and didn't work very well (finally cooled down in my room middway through the night). Not a complaint, but something to be aware of: the trip in a taxi to get to the hotel is quite an adventure - the hotel is quite far (~10 minutes) off the main paved road, and the roads leading there are dirt and very pitted, so just be prepared! But it is worth the trip (in my opinion!).

We loved the secluded location of the hotel, tucked away from the hustle and bustle. It was quiet and the staff were warm and welcoming. They couldn’t do enough to help us, even going to extra measures after a night of being ill. The room was super comfy and clean, with a big balcony, air con and Netflix on the TV. The food was good, the breakfast was lovely and all in all we loved our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Arusha.

The location is fantastic, but the road leading up to it is really really rough. If you wish to stay here, I’d recommend you use a 4x4 to get there as one night we got stuck on the road in a taxi.

The approach by road is interesting and will test your drivers dexterity, sense of direction and the vehicle's suspenbsion as you make your way through some very rough backroads. Staying out of season (late Nov) I was the only guest but the staff were very accomodating and pleasant. As a blind guest travelling solo they were increasibly helpful and attentive.

Not much to dislike here as great attention is paid to guest wellbeing
