This is one of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed. Staff were super friendly and the place was super clean despite being on a farm. So much to learn and so many fun things to do on the farm like feeding the cows. They give a free tour around the property which was so fun.

We had an amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal felt like it was prepared with great care and fresh ingredients, offering local flavors. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the biggest highlights was how well they arranged all the transportation for our tours and airport pickups/drop-offs. After a long day out, it was great to come back to such a quiet and comfortable place to rest. I'll definitely be back! Asante sana!

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.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The best hostel I've ever been to. The people are exceptionally nice and helpful, the food is amazing and made from local crops, rooms are clean, we also went to the safari organised by them and were very positively impressed. I have nothing bad to say and I'll for sure stay there again if I'm near

Wow, what a find! Tucked away in a lush banana plantation near Arusha, this eco-hostel stole my heart. My cozy barn cabin felt like a treehouse dream, complete with a porch swing and stunning Mount Meru views. But the real showstopper? The incredibly cheap eats and drinks! I feasted on delicious organic meals straight from the farm without breaking the bank. If you're after an authentic Tanzanian experience that's easy on the wallet, Banana Farm Eco Hostel is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds and your budget will thank you!

This property is fantastic for backpackers, budget travellers, woofers and those looking for an environmental stay. The banana and coffee plantation surround the rooms giving wonderful views. Rooms are basic and clean, with eco-generated hot water and electricity. The tour around the property was reasonably interesting. For the price you pay, you can't go wrong.
