Guest Reviews
- Polina (10/5): Fantastisch - Het eten is echt super lekker. Ibrahim kookt beter dan in de aller beste restaurants in Parijs. Alleen het eten is al de moeite waard! Ook heel mooi huis ! Prachtige decoratie en vriendelijke mensen. Wij komen zeker terug.
- hanbo (9/5): - Beautiful location, clean room, friendly staff Location is far away and hard to find; food is okay but overpriced
- Anne (8/5): Pleasant short stay - A lovely old building A bit out of the way
- Majaliwa (7/5): -
- Elsie (10/5): - Nice ambiance and cozy vibes!
- Aleksandr (10/5): - Отличные впечатления от отеля. Отель выглядит как старинная вилла - металлические рамы, антикварная мебель, очень просторные номера с прекрасным естественным освещением. Была очень вкусная еда, приготовленная специально для нас, фактически из-под ножа. Очень приветливый персонал, всегда готовый прийти на помощь. Небольшие нюансы с водой - нельзя одновременно пользоваться водой из нескольких кранов. Но к таким вещам можно отнестись очень спокойно.
- Pascal (10/5): -
- Gian Claudio (10/5): - Intimate attention to details elegant special thanks to Joyce for her precious recommendations to the chef Ibrahim who prepared delicious food and Domini for her attention and kindness
- Massimo (10/5): -
- Marion (10/5): - Unglaublich freundliche staff. Sehr entspannt!!! -
- Michael Witt (9/5): Liebe zum Detail, in jeglicher Hinsicht. - Ein wunderschönes Haus, toll dekoriert und von Herzen freundliche Mitarbeiter. Der Garten ist groß und eignet sich hervorragend für diverse Aktivitäten. Wir haben eine auch Kaffee-Tour gemacht. Die Mitarbeiter haben sich unglaublich viel Zeit genommen und alles wundervoll erklärt. Das Essen war frisch und lecker, das Frühstück geschmacklich und von der Präsentation her ein echtes Hightlight. Insgesamt zu 100% zu empfehlen. Nichts.
- Olivia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (8/5): We enjoyed and will come back - Nice gem well located. Staff are professional and well trained in hospitality. Very helpful we had a flat tyre on our way into Arusha they dispatched a driver to assist us. Facilities are well maintained Food options could be better; the meal portions at dinner could be improved
- Sharon (10/5): this is a wonderful spot to recoup from the hubbub and noise of Arusha. - It is a beautiful quiet setting. The rooms are well decorated and spacious. The meals were outstanding. It is a bit out of the way for travel to the international airport. it is perfectly though if you are flying out of the small Arusha airport.
- Vera (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shreyasi (9/5): Charming, peaceful home-stay style property - The property is set in a semi rural area, inside the Aga Khan campus. The grounds are lovely and the setting is rustic. The rooms are tastefully done. It is a rustic setting and the house is pretty much made of wood, so you can hear everything. Even a small noise in one part of the house is heard around. Not all rooms are the same and we were in a room in the attic for one night, which is just not comfortable.
- Ravi (1/5): Never ever... - The whole experience is like laying a trap for charging excessively high ..in the end you end up paying a fortune...for example just for washing cloths you pay up hundreds of dollars
- Ksenia (10/5): Something different to regular hotel stay - A lot of character. Nice area full of flower fields around for walking or biking. Comfortable bed and good home cooked breakfast. Was a bit tricky to find. A simple map which road to take would have been of a help.
- Cathryn (7/5): A delightful taste of luxury after a hard trek. - Good breakfast. Did not cater well for gluten free. No menu available. Unable to offer light lunch options. Prices plucked randomly when asked about. Great fire and ambience. As above.
- Lise (9/5): Very relaxed environment in a lovely African style. Dinner and breakfast was super. - Very relaxed and colonial African style. Dinner in the garden with live candles. Very nice meals really well presented. Only a few rooms so can be very quiet and intimate which is perfect if you are there to really relax. But you can feel very alone.
- Chiara (7/5): Good - House and room stylish and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent. Nice garden quiet location Pool dirty including dead bat, suggest staff should regularly skim throughout day. We could not use too dirty. Lunch & dinner overpriced, no choices , menu not clearly communicated
- Petr (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location and very nice and welcoming owners:) and excellent food!!! nothing
- Kristof (10/5): excellent homy feeling - one of the most amazing places i ever stayed in
- Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gulshan (10/5): This is a gem of a place. My only regret was that we did not spend more time there! - The property is very pretty. The house is beautifully decorated. The staff were extremely thoughtful and attentive. Sia went above and beyond helping me locate some local items to bring home. Had lovely meals prepared freshly for us. Highly recommend this place.
- Marian (10/5): A green peace of heaven vibrating with the Mont Meru spirit and local hospitality. - A peace of green heaven under Mont Meru, lovely decorated rooms in a charming property with character. Friendly and dedicated staff, excellent cuisine and all managed by a couple of talented and passionate people.
- Kees (10/5): Excellent stay! - Real quiet location. With lovely birds singing around the house. Friendly staff and excellent food thanks to chef Abraham! I had an excellent weekend and do warmly recommend it to everybody who likes something different. nothing
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - You cant really tell from the photos how beautiful and tranquil this hotel really is. The place and the staff are soooo lovely. We stopped here for one night after a long flight from Europe on route west to safari. It is perfect. Just wish we had booked for longer. If you are after destressing this is the place. I cannot recommed it enough.
- Loïc (10/5): Wonderful stay just outside Arusha - The location was magnificent, hides in the woods just out of Arusha, and way from trafic and busy areas. The host and staff were very friendly and helpful all times. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. A very wonderful stay!
- Claire (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karin (9/5): Great retreat - Lovely and helpful hosts, nice house and setting, very friendly staff always with a big smile, we loved the food and the romantic setting with the gas lamps in the evening 😍
- Airmure (10/5): Exceptional - Remote location but very quiet and beautifully/historically decorated The hotel upgraded me because some rooms were available Water to drink in the room
- Petra (9/5): Unique beautifully decorated luxury villa in amazing grounds - A stunning and unique property in beautiful grounds. ideal for stopover on your way or back from safari. Very close to Arusha domestic airport. Beautiful swimming pool. Amazing breakfast. Very friendly and attentive staff. Atmospheric, cozy, lovely decorations giving you a local feeling. Living room with fire place. The house is creaky - so any kind of movement noise carries, but which is normal for the type of house. It is quite a drive from Arusha so not ideal for nights out in town - but perfect for us who wanted to enjoy some relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle.
- Robert (8/5): Very good - amazing pool, food was lovely and overall i had a really comfortable stay! overall i have no complaints other than when paying for my bill. there was no change for dollars so i got change in shilling which i didnt want, and then they didnt have enough change in shilling anyways so i got less than what i should have. maybe if its possible to accommodate all payments in the future it will be better.
- Madalena (10/5): What an amazing experience! - We loved our moments at Meru House. Super comfortable, great staff & food and simply beautiful
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The house and the surroundings are absolutely stunning with so much attention to detail, it was wonderful to just to be at the house and the garden to enjoy the views. Ulf and Sandra are the most welcoming guests and the staff are just lovely! The food was so delicious, too. I had the best time and I cannot wait to come back one day hopefully. Thank you Sandra, Ulf and Lucy!
- Max (10/5): Great stay in Arusha. Perfect location to start a Safari or Hike to Mt Meru - Exceptionally nice location. Nice architecture in more or less African Style. Interesting interior design & interesting books! Excellent food. Would definitely stay here again in the future!
