     Welcome to Arusha
I have been visiting the Woven House in April. I enjoyed my stay a lot, the rooms were clean, the food was awesome (really authentic delicious traditional dishes), and stuff was nice and helpful. Special thanks to Justin for his amazing cooking skills and hospitality, and, of course, for showing amazing places around! I had a great stay and would definitely come back.

     COZY HOUSE
I have been staying at Woven House now for almost four weeks and I am very satisfied with the experience and the welcome I received. The staff is friendly, helpful and cheerful. My bedroom was spacious and bright, with a large wardrobe inside. It may happen that you have to share the room with some other guests if there are many bookings but consent will always be asked first with kindness and notice. The food is excellent and it is possible to arrange the time of each meal, including breakfast. The bathrooms are clean and the house has hot water. There is also a very good wifi network. Woven House is a really nice and cozy place to stay, pleasant and peaceful.

     Incredible Stay with Incredible People
I stayed at the Woven House for six weeks from June to August 2022. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Woven House itself is a nice house located in a quiet neighborhood with really comfortable beds and a good balance between privacy and interaction. What really made my stay were the people who operate Woven House, though. Every day Justin and crew made breakfast, lunch, and dinner with local ingredients, and nothing compares. I had fresh fruit smoothies every day and they were the best smoothies of my life. I could tell Justin really cared about me and went out of his way to make sure my stay was as good as it could be. I was in town for Swahili classes and Justin helped me practice my Swahili every day. He also helped me navigate the town, taught me about local life, and introduced me to some fantastic people! I had just missed the high season for tourism, but it did not matter at all because Justin was more than willing to help me. He is a tour guide and is more than happy to organize excursions according to any budget. He also has many opportunities for volunteers who are interested in the NGO he operates, Afrikan Wear. Overall, if you are looking for a place to stay in Arusha, I highly recommend Woven House.

     The best way to get to know life in Arusha
I stayed at the Woven House for about 3 weeks, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. Justin and his crew are one of a kind, their joy for life and kindness allowed me to fully enjoy my stay at the Woven House and Arusha itself. The Woven House crew would offer me trips to the outer rim of Arusha, getting to know African culture from a very local perspective. They even organized a full fledged Safari trip, providing the Jeep and the accomodation. It really was one of my best stays every. I can only recommend this for people traveling in Arusha/Tanzania. Thank you Justin and Dixon!

     Cozy spot outside city center
Although it’s a little ways outside of the city center, the owner is happy to provide rides or help you coordinate transport, making the distance a non-issue. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and very well kept. The staff are extremely friendly and the beds are comfortable. I highly recommend a stay.

     Authentic Africa, without culture-shock
I stayed at the Woven House for a long time in the spring. It is on a very quiet street, has a lovely garden with terrace and invites you to make a stopover on the way to a safari, which Justin the landlord also offers individually and according to your budget and time - I recommend it wholeheartedly !!! I can also warmly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to get to know the country and its people, because Justin and his mother run an NGO (African Wear Design) in Arusha, where weaving, sewing and local handicrafts such as jewelry are produced. You get to know the conditions, culture and everyday life in a very nice way during a visit. The accommodation is clean and safe, Justin is a very friendly and cheerful host who is also happy to offer smaller excursions or to provide advice and assistance. He also cooks really good local food. His vegan recipes also convinced us. Next time I will take my family and book another wonderful safari with Justin!

     Wonderful stay with wonderful people
I stayed at the Woven House for 2 nights prior and post my safari, which was also organised through the owner Justin. I’ve been welcomed very kind and courteously thanks to Justin. He even took me on a trip through Arusha. Everything in the house is handmade and you can see the love in every detail. It’s called the woven house, because the beds and armchairs are created using weaving technique. Dinner and breakfast and made with fresh and local ingredients. The whole community is very open minded and I only met very kind and sweet people. So I can highly recommend the woven house.

You can also organize some tourist trips with Justin and visit his development project. Thanks a lot. Asante sana!!
