Arusha Jua Eco Home- on coffee farm

The people, the location and the food

Nothing

Our stay at Jua Eco Hostel was fantastic! The location was peaceful and offered a great connection to nature. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home. They were always service-minded and quick to assist with any needs. The host was particularly warm and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable! I highly recommend Jua Eco Hostel for anyone looking for a relaxing and eco-friendly stay with a personal touch."

The staff were great, very helpful.

Staff was good. Rooms are clean but it is very hard to reach the place. They also make food for you and break fast was good.It is not easy to reach the hotel due to my elderly parents in the trip

Location

I stumbled upon this guesthouse by accident online and wish I had discovered it sooner for my stay in Arusha, I only got to spend one night here and wish I could have stayed longer. After a warm welcome by the staff and the cute dog we relaxed in the garden, played pool and had a great rest in the room, which was so nicely decorated and comfortable! We woke up to unlimited fresh coffee farm (it’s situated on a coffee farm!), a breakfast that was both local and continental and tasty. Lots of eye for detail and love for what they are doing: hosting and connecting to people. We cuddled one of the farm bunnies and chatted to the staff, it was all lovely, so we’ll definitely come back!

It was great!

Great place with a wonderful atmosphere and lovely hosts. The breakfast was great. Located outside the city offering more access to nature and less noise. The staff was always service-minded and quick to assist with transportation or any other needs

I liked the environment and the rabbits

This hostel is located in a village in east of Arusha town. To reach it, you'd get off from the mainroad and get on a narrow unpaved bumpy village road about 1km. So make sure you have a good car with you. The hostel has a nicely decorated little courtyard and two or three buildings of guestroom. The room itself is small and very basic, you can only sit out of door because no chairs in the room. The window structure is poor, gap allowing in mosquitose and other insents. The curtains and glass door didn't block light at all. From early morning you are to be awaken by the sun or sound of village activities. But that is expected by its low budget. The best thing I had experienced there was the fantastic 'coffee tour' which showed you exactly how local people make coffee from raw beans to the cup. (if you visit during harvest season you will see the coffee fruit pick-up too) They would also show you the banana farm in the village. If you are interested to get a glimpse of local village life you can try this hostel, otherwise not very necessary to stay deep in a village. The food cooked by its kitchen is yummy, and the staffs are friendly. They can arrange Arusha airport shuttle which charged 25 dollars.
