Christina served us an authentic dinner when we visited her. We loved it. We thought it was the best meal we had on our trip. She has a beautiful small hotel on the outskirts of Arusha. Christina is a fun, energetic woman committed to helping the women of her area...and a super cook.

We had an excellent lunch at the Christina house. The dishes prepared were Tanzanian and my wife and I enjoyed them very much. We were taken there by our safari guide, whose mother ran a gift shop outside the hotel.

Only visited for lunch, but the home-cooked Tanzanian meal we received was awesome! I checked out the rooms and they looked pretty nice.

Stayed one night before our safari, so were only there for dinner through breakfast, but was a reasonably priced clean room, with friendly service and great food. Can definitely recommend anyone looking for a well-priced and reliable stay.
