Guest Reviews
- Carolin (9/5): Immer wieder toll! - Wir haben hier schon mehrfach übernachtet, weil es immer so schön ist. Herzliches Personal, ein toller Garten mit vielen Möglichkeiten zu relaxen, außergewöhnliche Bungalows, nette Hunde, großartiges Essen.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Heinulla (10/5): Top - Sehr nettes Personal. Die Chillschaukeln im Garten sind toll. Ein Handtuchhaken im Bad wäre hilfreich.
- Lea (7/5): - Very charming place. The bungalows are beautiful! The water in our bathroom did not work and unfortunately it took them several days to fix so we ended up having to use the bathroom of another room (we were the only guests at the hotel, so maybe that already says sth...). The payment was a mess...
- Godfrey (10/5): -
- Hejselbak (9/5): - Det sødeste personalen og hjemmelig atmosfære
- CAPUCINE (10/5): Parfait ! - Lucy est d’une extrême gentillesse et nous a très bien accueilli !!
Nous recommandons également Greg Adventure, des guides d’une bienveillance et chaleureux !! Ce sont adaptés à notre langue !
Le chauffeur top aussi !
- Carolin (9/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder! - Wir waren schon mehrfach Gast in der Villa Poa und können diese schöne Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen. Alles ist perfekt, angefangen vom herzlichen Personal und den Hunden über den tollen Garten und die Bungalows bis hin zum großartigen Essen. Weiter so! Wir kommen gern wieder!
- Insook (8/5): Good - Lucy’s warm greeting and smile, good breakfast No amenities
- Catja (9/5): - Really nice staff
- Peter (10/5): - Sehr hilfsbereit Personal, sehr schöne Räumlichkeit und eine sehr schöne Anlage!!
- Lisa (9/5): - Lucy and her team looked out for us and coooked really well. It felt like home
- Jonathan (4/5): Sadly disappointing. - The garden is beautiful. Lucy and the kitchen team are delughtful. The bed was comfortable. Our room was double booked. We were told this on the day of our arrival as we flew in from Zanzibar.
Over the phone we were offered an alternative 'luxury bungalow'. Our flight was delayed so we arrived at 11.30pm otherwise we would never have accepted the room. It smelt, there was nowhere to put anything. The door wouldnt open properly. The paintwork was grubby
and the shower was filthy. We have stayed in 5 other hotels in Tanzania this August and this was a huge contrast to all the others. And, despite advertising that they accept card payments, they wont.
- Alexandra (7/5): -
- Michele (7/5): -
- Birte (8/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay at Villa Poa was lovely! We stayed for 6 nights, 3 on each side of a Safari. Lucy and Naima were so kind making us breakfast each morning and even making sure that we got fruit to go after the close of official breakfast hours. The location was also perfect, we were happy to be a bit away from the hustle and bustle of town.
- Kim (7/5): Simple and good value for money - Nice facilities, campfire, possible with cottage stay, good staff No AC, no gym, fan not working
- Jemimah (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the breakfast – it was always fresh, with healthy options. The kids especially enjoyed the fruit servings.
Villa Poa has such peaceful vibes; it was truly calming being in this place. Lucy and Neema were amazing – friendly, polite, and always jovial.
Breakfast was always served on time. Although we didn’t have dinner there, dinner was prepared at the facility every evening. The seating arrangement was also lovely.
- Sophie (8/5): Very good - Beautiful spacious rooms, easy location and very friendly helpful staff Noisy at night
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Villa Poa is a beautiful place of stay. I and the family very much enjoyed our stay there with the staff that were very helpful and provided amazing services. We really appreciate them.
- Rebecca (5/5): Felt a bit scammed but really sweet staff. - The staff, the lady working both at the reception and kitchen were so so sweet and friendly. We booked a bungalow (the bungalows were the reason we chose this place), but then when we arrived they told us there were no available bungalows. Also there was construction right in front of our window, so we actually just wanted to relax after safari but not really possible. Then we used their company to book a tour which they overpriced heavily, and then when we had to pay for the tour they tried taking additional money. Felt a bit scammed.
- Zamzam (9/5): Superb -
- Izzie (10/5): Lucy and Nema, who work at the accommodation, were incredibly kind, and their hospitality made me feel warmth during my -
- Maran (10/5): A warm welcoming and quiet oasis in the city - Lucy and Neema were so welcoming, friendly and funny. It really felt like we left as friends. It's located in a nice quiet place, with a lovely garden with all kinds of seating options. And there is a well-stocked fridge with beers and sodas And breakfast was great with fresh fruits and your choice of eggs, veggie sandwhich, pancakes or all! And only a short ride to the city center. Wifi speed is slow
- Aswaneesh (10/5): Exceptional - Hospitality
- Mohamed (9/5): Superb -
- P (10/5): The service was excellent. - The staff were very friendly and even the environment was good. My son liked Sama - the dog very much as he was able to pet him and share his snacks with him too😊 Sharing of the washrooms wasn't pleasant. Wish you opt to improve on this.
- Annette (9/5): Superb -
- Magdalena (10/5): I will be back 🥰! - Absolutely everything! They made me feel like home and that's the most important (and hardest to achieve) in hospitality business. I miss this place already ❤️!
- Leonie (10/5): Amazing stay - Great stay
- Meghan (10/5): Best. Staff. Ever! - This place was absolutely incredible.
The staff! Oh my gosh they absolutely made this place. They were the kindest, funniest and most helpful people. Massive shout out to my two new Tanzanian sisters Lucy and Neema!
My dad and I stayed here after our Kilimanjaro hike and it was the most perfect place to relax in the garden on the day beds and couches. Neema and Lucy went above and beyond organising a haircut for dad, Neema giving us a massage to help our sore muscles after the hike, Lucy taking me to her tailor to help me get some clothes made and Neema coming into town with me to help me choose fabric.
The beds were super comfortable and rooms had plenty of space. Food was awesome. Great brekky and the dinner was delicious too.
I would stay here 100 times over. Probably my favourite ever place in all the places I’ve ever been.
Thank you thank you thank you!
- Carlos (8/5): Very good -
- Nassim (9/5): Good Villa - Kindness of the staff, especially Lucy Bathroom
- Inga (10/5): Great and comfortable accommodation with a very friendly staff! - The staff of Villa Poa was very nice and extremely helpful! When we had a problem with a taxi driver one of the Mamas assisted immediately and the problem was soon solved. The Breakfast was very tasty and freshly prepared. Overall it was a great stay! The waterheater had to be switched on before a shower which is a little unpractical but is due to energy saving efforts (so still positive!). And I had to pay in Cash, paying by Card would have been easier.
- Kevin (9/5): Felt at Home - Quiet place and nice staff.
- Mueni (10/5): Amazing - The view of Mount meru from our balcony was breathtaking😍 Lucy was so friendly and welcoming. The food was a 10. The rates are affordable. Nothing
- Marry (1/5): Bad - Beware of this lodge it may appear like a pretty place to stay but there is more to this lodge appearing to look nice. Do not be deceived by the nice scenery look of this place. The owner Greg threatened me and my husband because we told him we were going to leave a review on how filthy the environment is and how the customer service is HORRIBLE for him and his 2 main workers Lucy the receptionists and Neema his cook. His exact words were "IF YOU LEAVE A BAD REVIEW I WILL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU AND I WILL SUE YOU". We experienced the real side of Greg and his workers. I'm sure he has threatened other people who wanted to leave a bad review other wise why would he threatened us so easily all because we want to bring awareness so someone won't have to experience what we experienced.
Neema would always leave dishes in the sink. There were roaches all over the kitchen, bathrooms,and walk ways. They had rat feeces in the bathroom we were in. The receptionists Lucy would never take the trash out. We had to always tell her to take the trash out because she would leave the trash in the hall way for days. So it would cause a bad odor, nats would fly everywhere by our room door, and the trash would always accumulate up causing us to have to put trash on the floor. When we would ask Lucy to take the trash she would always say "ok later." This place doesn't even deserve a 1star, I wouldn't refer anyone to this location.
This is by far the worse experience of a hotel or lodge we have ever been to.
- Björn (9/5): Superb - Beautiful place to stay, very nice people!
- Violet (8/5): Lovely place. Ideal for families. Close to the town. - The staff were really friendly and prompt in their response. The food was also freshly made each time. Having to go downstairs for the bathroom facilities.
- Francesca (8/5): Affordable comfort post safari - The characterful bungalow and the host were lovely. Tasty dinner. A bit of a noisy area. Dinner portions could have been a bit bigger. Booking states that credit card accepted, but this is not the case. We had to borrow cash from our taxi driver to settle the bill as they do not have a card machine.
- Pau (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great time at Villa Poa. The place was very nice and Lucy was a great host
- Jessica (4/5): Enough for the price but just for one night - Staff was very nice and food was good. We didn’t get the room we booked and the in the end we had a shared bathroom. The room wasn’t very clean and the toilet neither.
- Mrs (8/5): Very good -
- Peta-anne (9/5): Superb - Amazing staff, very accommodating and helpful.
Very comfortable stay with amazing breakfast service! Bathroom could do with extra shelving or storage to keep clothes dry in communal bathrooms.
- Macharia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about the place, location, ambience, host, cleanliness. I will definitely visit again. There is nothing to dislike about the place. It's just perfect
- Rajasekar (10/5): Awesome - If you want to feel like home villa poa should be your place staffs are very friendly and accommodating the rooms are spacious and clean it got a nice hanging out place inside and outside with two large swings and a camp fire place to chill out they got two geodomes it was very nice with a ensuite bathroom Nothing
- Melodie (10/5): We enjoyed our stay!! - This is a very peaceful place with excellent staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Worth the price you pay. Gave it a 10 because it matches perfectly description they give. Internet could be better. Some locations on the property have better internet connection than other places. Good to have a plan on your phone if you depend on the internet for work.
- Melodie (9/5): A nice place to rest! - The staff was excellent, and my bed was comfortable. The grounds are very pretty. Breakfast was good, and they were willing to accommodate to our need of eating things that were low carb. Only challenge for me was its location even though it was not real far from a main road, and the motel sends a detailed guide of how to arrive after you book here.
- Cacio90 (10/5): Exceptional - The place is really cute.
Siamo stati nella accogliente e rustica capanna nel verde giardino della casa principale (davvero tipica e romantica)
The host is super gentle
- Patri (9/5): Superb - The Bungalow was confortable with a nice balcony.The garden and shared areas were very beautiful and confortable too. Quite noisy in the morning and night and the bungalow a little bit dark.
- Muck (7/5): Good -
- Lion (10/5): Exceptional - Very lovely place with a very calm and relaxing atmosphere, delicate breakfast and - this I really have to emphasize - super, super helpful and friendly staff! All in all, we had an amazing stay.
- Tideh (8/5): Very good - They serve a great filling breakfast including a variety of fruits and all the staff are amazing and kind. They were always on standby to help when I needed anything. Nothing.
- Barry (8/5): Enjoyed my stay would definitely recommend - The garden bungalows were very quaint. The swinging beds were also a hit.
Lucy the host was amazing, hospitable and assisted us with whatever we needed. She also made the most amazing avocado toast sandwiches! The whole stay was amazing because of her charm and hospitality The bedding can be improved upon. Also some of the makuti kept falling into the sink and bedding making it a bit itchy but nothing unbearable.
- Ikonya (8/5): Very good -
- Laís (10/5): Exceptional - Super friendly staff, amazing food, great rooms, good price. We loved our stay!!
- Mumbi (1/5): Overbooked facility - Neema was very kind.
The compound was small and very neat. They confirmed my booking and when I got there with my children I was told that it's fully booked and we had to look elsewhere for accommodation after 4 hours of driving to the location
- Meier (8/5): Very good - A cordial atmosphere created by the staff, the comfort of being in the upper floor of the main house, the beautiful balcony and garden.
- Heewon (8/5): Very good -
- Sheila (8/5): Very good -
- Ayaz (9/5): Superb - Returned to villa after a 5 day safari, they looked after our left luggage with no issues.
- Ayaz (9/5): Guesthouse with great staff. - Guesthouse in a quiet road with very friendly and helpful staff in a colonial style villa with a well manicured garden. View of Mt. Meru (cloud permitting) from balcony.
- Rodrigo (10/5): I love Villa Poa from Arusha - The extraordinary people from that place, then the place itself, then the food That I couldn't stay longer
- Martin (9/5): Superb - Rose and the other staff were helpful and amazing with our children. Didn't get the room I had booked for but that was fixed and we left satisfied
- Stephen (9/5): Great stay! I will definitely go back when in Arusha. - Excellent service and value! Put up signage for visibility of the premises.
- Michelle (9/5): Superb -
- Rael (9/5): Lucy, Agnes and their team are amazing hosts. We felt safe and at home. - Simple and great.
- Felix (10/5): Peaceful stay at a beautiful property - Really nice, beautiful and quiet place. Staff and other guests were super friendly and helpful. They were still renovating a bit, so when they are done the place will be super nice!
- Salha (5/5): Passable - hot shower dirty property, not private
- Flo (9/5): Superb - Beautiful rooms, lovely staff. Good and included breakfast and for 10$ a tasty dinner. The rooms (tents, outside) are really good. Nice outdoor area the mattress could be softer and there could be more light in the bathroom.
- Suva (8/5): Very good - Lovely place, with well-kept rooms, polite staff, and convenient access to Arusha town. I Would recommend it 100%
- Orly (9/5): Loved the light and spacious-ness of Villa Poa and very friendly staff, especially Lucy! - The room upstairs with private bathroom is lovely and bright and spacious. The bathroom is old and tired but does the job. The balcony is a lovely place to sit and enjoy.
The whole house is light and bright with plenty of seating options. The garden has some great swinging beds and the top and bottom baclony have comfortable couches to lounge on. Private and shared bathrooms were old and tired, and not that clean.
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vlasta (8/5): Very good - Nice garden, very kind staff, special Lucy, Bed is very hard
- Valentina (10/5): Great stay - The garden is incredibly lush. There are trees, grass and a couple of floating beds where you can nap or chill. There is also a fire pitch and staff usually lights up a fire at night. The town is easily reachable (15 minutes by dalla dalla, a cramped bus that costs 500 shilling per person). The staff was really welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was great! A bowl of fruit or fresh juice, then 2 eggs your way with 2 toasts and a pancake (that you could fill with peanut butter and jam), sometimes a slice of avocado. It gets you ready to start the day. I think this place is exceptional.
- Yasmin (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast every day was delicious. Lucy and the rest of the staff are incredibly nice and friendly. The villa is very nice-looking, clean, with hot water and wifi. It was a really wonderful stay in Arusha.
- Mruttu (5/5): The location is not well poster's and is not wide although the green. - Hospitality Conducive environment
