Although off the beaten track and difficult to find, it was truly a lovely oasis. The staff were attentive and helpful and I was made to feel at home. The breakfast was fantastic!

I chose the Researchers Rest based on previous reviews and their website. They were both very accurate. Eddie, the manager, is a master of hospitality and a GREAT cook. Terrific comfortable stay!

The Researchers Rest is a peaceful and homely place. We loved the attention to details, coziness, and comfort. Our room was spacious, clean, cool and lovely decorated. Breakfast and dinner were excellent (great coffee, home made granola, salad..). The garden is enclosed and well maintained with beautiful flowers. There is a shaded patio where you can read one of the many books or just watch the turtle strolling around in the garden. All this is made possible by staff that really cares for the home and guests. We stayed at several places in and nearby Arusha and this is by far our favorite.

This delightful house felt like staying in someone's home. It was extremely comfortable, elegantly decorated and scruplously clean. We were so well-looked after and the food was delicious. The kindness of the people working there was probably the highlight they went out of their way to provide the highest quality service possible. It was a terrific stay.

This place is just the most relaxing place on earth. The perfect place to chill the night before or after a safari. Great garden with tortoises living there freely. Fantastic dinner prepared by one of the hotel managers totally worth it. A pure oasis this place with its little library and the sofa area with view to the garden, a very special atmosphere is in the air here that you just have to witness yourself - the pictures dont do the justice at all. This place is so highly rated for a good reason. Keep up the good work!

Everything. Eddie and Joseph are both excellent hosts and cooks. I ate very well. Rooms are so good, garden is great - hot showers, comfortable beds with good pillows, amazing house - and the lounge is so nice to spend some time in. Its dripping with personality, this place.

This place is a true gem - to feel like at home, slowly enjoying yourself and definitely having a rest. It is a place with history - if interested, ask the manager Eddie for the details. Researchers Rest has unique exquisite details, thoroughly and attentively preserved and kept - starting from bookshelves full of things to read about Africa, to the cutlery and beautiful cups. Definitely recommended having dinners - absolutely astonishing, so delicious with fresh salad from the garden, amazing fruit and meat/fish. Important note - food preferences are taken into account, therefore theres no trouble for veggies. Incredible staff in all aspects! I wanted to visit one specific coffee plantation, and Eddie helped me to find out all the details, and arrange everything. And finally .. the garden I was fascinated with and ready to keep on watching turtles and birds walking around freely the whole day. One more thing - amazing coffee with biscuits ;) The route to the city center is not hard to find, I made it on foot. The location is convenient for visiting waterfalls, and coffee plantations.

Most important to note is the very cozy atmosphere in the hotel. It feels really good to be there, like a family home in the countryside. There is a big living room area with comfortable armchairs and couches, facing the open lawn through the bay window. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and helpful. We spent a lot of time with Eddie, who took us to many activities in the area. He is a wonderful person and we are very grateful to have met him. They also do safari tours, but we didn't try them. Lastly, we ate at the hotel in the mornings and evenings and the food was delicious every time.

This place is quaint and very relaxing. The property is gorgeous with an amazing garden, however the true treasure there is Eddie. Eddie manages the property and is the cook. He is kind and he took me around Arusha and fed me delicious food. This place is ideal for those who are looking to rest and disconnect. I would go back to it without a doubt.

Excellent cooking staff (thank you Josef!) and two nice lodge dogs (Lotti & George). The hotel is a tranquil and cozy place set in the outskirts of Arusha with a wonderful maintained garden. It's a great place to start for a Safari or treks on the nearby Meru or Kilimanjaro. Pickup from the airport was great and the entire staff helpful and friendly.

Highly recommended! I had a different three course meal every night of my stay. Food was excellent - delicious, varied and full of flavour. The team were so friendly and welcoming, making me feel very much at home. Loved the beautiful garden and the tortoise walking around it. Lovely views of Mount Meru from outside, perfect for relaxing away from the bustle of town.

The room is clean, and they serve delicious dinners. The position is optimal, less than 30 minutes to Arusha airport even with traffic. This is my second visit.
