Viva Tanzania

“Great location, lovely facility and ethics!”

I came to Viva Tanzania after a 10‑day safari; it was a lovely place to catch my breath (and to not be moving or in transit) for 2 days. I was also recovering from a nasty cold, so it was great to have a comfortable and quiet space to rest and recuperate. They offer a spa and massage, the swimming pool and the rooftop bar, all were nice to enjoy even as a solo traveller. Everyone was welcoming and happy to assist if needed. And it’s nice that they are so conscientious about sustainability and of course they assist with volunteering programs, so it was also nice to be able to buy some lovely things for souvenirs that also assisted programs empowering women and local communities. I really like a hot shower and this didn’t happen. The temperature in Arusha at the time was quite warm so I didn’t ask anyone to fix it, also thought it seemed to be a temperature setting and maybe related to sustainability practices. But I didn’t check so that’s kind of on me, ay?

“Passabile”

The property is in a great position in Arusha, convenient for safari departures. It is behind a rather busy road, but from the property no noise was heard and it was quiet. The common area with the outdoor pool is nice. The room that we were given upon arrival was not the one I had booked on Booking. It was changed to the correct one, but the bathroom didn’t work: there was no hot water from the shower. We reported it and they promptly came to fix it. Unfortunately, this took an hour (no shower possible), so we had to wait for dinner, and because of the time there wasn’t much left to eat (and the food had very little choice anyway). At least dinner was not charged. Also, after the two staff members fixed the shower – obviously – with their shoes, the bathroom became completely dirty and full of mud. No one came to clean it, they only left us a kind of broom that was not useful at all for cleaning. Finally, the staff was not very welcoming. Overall, I recommend the property just for a one‑night stay, but not more.

“Nice international community”

The owners and other guests were fantastic, and there were plenty of activities to enjoy inside the property, but I had to wash the dishes myself and the furniture in the room was mediocre.

“Gezellig verblijf.”

The place was very cozy and comfortable, a great spot to relax by the pool, and the breakfast was good.
