Ms. Jackie, a friendly and kind person, plus an efficient and enterprising entrepreneur runs the establishment, supported by her family and staff who are available all through at the property. We have had a good communication before arrival, and once there, we were well taken care of. The property is like a refurbished colonial bungalow, with wide, manicured grassy lawns interspersed with large margosa trees. We had most of our food on the lawns, and were served good food, made to specifications, with excellent cutlery and presentation, by the proprietor. Rooms were big and spacious, with all creatures comforts. The proprietor also helped us in many ways, in making various arrangements in logistics, travel etc as well. Also, we managed to arrange a small workshop as a part of our business trip, in the premises, which we hired. I hope more travelers get to experience the hospitality offered by Ms. Jackie and her staff

    The room was exactly as advertised and very clean. It's got all you need: AC, fan, hot water, kettle, sockets by the bed... The outdoor garden & patio space are really lovely, great to sit and chat and eat there! Above all, the owner Stella is so lovely and helpful, she went above & beyond helping me get ready for my ongoing journey. Enjoyed the food as well. In short I recommend Haika Lodge without hesitation!

    It’s a transit lodge about 10 minutes from the airport. Our flight landed at 10 pm and we have a flight early the next morning. Pick up from and to the airport was included in the price making this excellent value for money. The lodge staff were very friendly and accommodated and early breakfast for us.

    It was located close to the airport, making it a great place to stay the night before an early flight. I was able to organise a taxi to collect me from the ferry terminal, take me to the lodge and then to the airport when required. The room was clean and the mattress was nicely firm. The staff were lovely and were able to whip up a meal for me on request.

    What an oasis of calm Mgulani Lodge hotel offers. Having never been to Dar, we were so grateful of the The Salvation Army Compound this hostel is linked with, offering a space of tranquility in a city that feels like it never stops. It very quickly felt like a home away from home. And the staff were willing to help with anything you asked. It was a real pleasure meeting the team, and even better knowing any money they make off your room booking goes into helping other programmes that the organisation are running in Tanzania.

    The staff was extremely friendly and did make you feel like you were at someone's home. Me, the staff, and some guests ended up staying for almost two hours after dinner just talking. Dinner was also traditional East African food at a good price. The rooms were comfortable, the AC worked, good water pressure, and great wifi. Everything you could want from a homestay lodge. I had an early morning flight and they had even gave me a to-go bag with breakfast.

    Marvellous lodge in the north of Daressalam; quite and still a direct entry to the ocean.... Very special: the illumination during the night, which was outstanding of all other lodges that I had booked. Also the breakfast was very superbe.
