The rooms look exactly as on the pictures. We are backpackers and most of the time stay at hostels, from time to time we give us a treat and that place fulfilled it 100%. If you want to have a complete quiet environment and a perfectly clean place, this is where you have to go. The room is beautifully decorated in a minimalistic and modern way, the bed is the most comfortable bed and the bathroom turned out so nice with the big window and the little bamboo garden outside, genius idea! The breakfast was perfect and once again I have to mention how clean it is!!! Big garden all around, very green, full of flowers, just beautiful and perfect to relax. In the common area you can use the fridge, tea boiler and there a tables to work during the day. For us, everything is perfect! Also the breakfast was just nice, toast, omelette, fruits, peanutbutter was a big plus, jams, teas, coffee, pancake..

Wifi is in whole of Tanzania a problem and also this place has very slow wifi, be aware of that if you dont have a sim card, we have one so it wasnt a problem at all.
I would love to see a Water Station, since this place is using solar and taking care of environment, also it allows the guests to not have stress in the mind to get enough water. (The cleaning lady though offered to get some, which was so sweet)
It is out of the town, for us its perfect because we also work and its so quiet here, we use Bolt as a Taxi App and it works fine. 20 min to be in the centre...it might be for some people a negative point, but for us it was not :)

The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and such good value for money. We didn't eat breakfast as chose to eat out, but there was free tea and coffee and a fridge for you to store your own food. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming - especially Daniel the security. Walking distance to Njero complex for restaurants. Asante sana!

This is my go to place to stay whenever I’m in Arusha. Facilities are super clean and new and the location is in an alley so it’s peaceful, but not too far of a walk to the main road to get restaurant meals if you want (tip: my favorite nearby spot is The Oak which is a 15 minutes walk; they also do delivery).
Breakfast is about $5 and is pretty decent; you get the standard sponge omelette, some starchy side like chapati or crepes, and fresh fruits. They also provide quick and convenient laundry onsite (machine washed) for about $5-$10 which was a lifesaver after my Kilimanjaro trek.
There was a half-day long electrical outage in the entire neighborhood when I was there. It was for maintenance and i am not sure if that’s a frequent thing that happens. Water pressure is very weak in the shower. And water was unexpectedly shut off for a few hours in one of the nights I was there.

Room was very spacious and clean. Property was quiet and peaceful. Staff were overall nice/cordial.
Breakfast could have been coordinated better. One night I requested to the night keeper that I would like breakfast at 9:00am the next morning, but when I went to the dining room around 9:10am, the message had clearly not been passed to the morning staff member and I wasn't able to eat breakfast before leaving for my day trip. Also, I had texted the property manager asking for support with getting a driver back to the property one night, but my message was not responded to. Thankfully I had the number of another driver.
The property as many have said is a little outside of the center of town (maybe 15-20 mins), but as long as you have a driver you can get around everywhere fine. The road leading to the property is quite poor, but this is not uncommon from what I observed. Though there were a couple of bouts with poor/no internet, I was pleasantly surprised that the internet worked most of the time (contrary to the experiences of previous guests).

Unbeatable price and high room quality. Very in private. Feel like a home. After a long flight before and after Safari,this hotel is really good.I saw some monkeys on the roof of the next property :-) . Outside the room has a big space for sitting and relai.To reach and explore the Arusha city by taxi or local bus Daladala ( if you need new experience, bring a person from Bird of paradise with you). Internet access is free. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful

The staff is very friendly and the rooms are big and the bed is really comfortable. Also the terrace is nice for sitting and drinking a beer. The breakfast is also really good, for us it was actually a bit too much.
We only could pay in cash, maybe it would be easier to pay by card in the future.

The staff at this boutique hotel are wonderful. Within minutes of my arrival I was on a first name basis with everyone. Rahab did a great job ensuring that I had a pleasant stay. Everyone working at the Birds of Paradise was committed to ensuring that their guests were comfortable and have enjoyable stays. The property and rooms are very well kept. There are lots of plants and this creates a very peaceful and restful atmosphere. The property is a short walk from Njiro road and the Njiro Complex. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with a nice mix of people. There were no problems with Wifi and delicious home-cooked meals are available by request.

Enjoyed our stay,we loved how clean the rooms were when we arrived,the friendly service of the staff Rahab, Daniel and Frank.I most especially enjoyed the bathroom and was inspired to make one just like that one at home?so beautiful felt like I was in the rainforest.Rahab made us a lovely meal of pilau.I will definitely be back ❤️❤️❤️.The lodge is in a quiet neighborhood close to a shopping centre.
The road to the lodge is a bit of a rough drive but manageable since it's a short distance from the main road about 700 meters.

The staff were really helpful and friendly.
The bed was really comfortable.
The room was also big and spacious and each room had a little terrace with chairs to sit outside.
The staff was super helpful and when asked were able to call a motorbike or tuktuk for us.
The property is a walkable distance away from the Njiro Complex with basic amenities. And I felt safe walking around the area on my own.
They also offer meals as long as you let them know. We had the breakfast two of the 5 nights we stayed. It’s basic but filling. I really liked the freshly pressed juices and fresh avocados!
Even though booking.com said I got a genius discount the property charged the full price. As this was only 5€ more I didn’t bother to argue with them.
What I noticed is a cultural norm that each property has a gate and a night time there is a security guard and you need to get the taxi driver to honk the horn or bang on the gate to get it. One of the nights it took a bit of extra banging on the gate and time before we got let into the property. However, the staff is absolutely wonderful and we in the end got in.

in every way this small out of the way, hotel is simple, but elegant. Very relaxed vibe. Great People. No Hurry. construction of the new rooms is underway., I was allowed to use that future rooftop dining area to film and view all the birds. The Hotel has a very nice bird list which I am helping develop. From the Bulbul to the beautiful Variable Sunbird, and the large tortoise, all the vibes are calm and friendly. For any trip to Tanzania, this may be the perfect small venue where you should consider beginning your journey.
