    Great staff, great owner, great dogs. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I was moved from Wakawaka Hostel to the Wakawaka House as the hostel was rather empty. Both places are very close to the center. Would recommend!!

    David and Victoria were the best hosts. They are very kind and caring people. They are really trying to make this place feel like home. I enjoyed coming back multiple times after trips around Arusha. They also helped organizing my further travels....
