Staying at Leanne's place is like being welcomed into a family, she is a seriously awesome host. We had a little trouble finding the house, but she was super responsive and helpful with directions. I felt like part of the family the whole time. She had breakfast ready in the morning (with homemade bread) and for a small fee cooked the most delicious dinner. The room was comfy with a private bathroom and with access to a fantastic roof terrace. The house is big and comfortable and safe. It was a great experience and I would be happy to recommend staying there. I'll definitely be back.

We had a brilliant time with Crystal, Leanne and Ambrose. Amazing food, really felt at home and had some great experiences. The house is beautiful too. Highly recommended

We loved staying at Sarah's place, it's a lovely house away from the traffic of the city an just next to the beach. She suggested us a very good restaurant nearby, the Mediterraneo, great seafood ! The breakfast was very good and the housekeeper very kind and helpful with us. Definitively a good place to stay in Dar !

Sarah and Paul were very gracious hosts; they made my daughter and I feel right at home. We loved the way the house is decorated. And the backyard pool was a haven... Many thanks to Jessie for doing my laundry. :)

We had a great 4n stay in this lovely layed back house. It is close to the beach, has a nice pool, spacious bedroom with private bathroom next door and a great balcony where you can spend lots of hours (incl enjoyable talking parrot). And much more... Do mind it's aprox 10 minute walk to the road where you can find Badjaji drivers who can take you everywhere you like. You can also ask Francis to arrange a Badjaji (but this is bit more expensive, all depending on your bargaining skills). In the area are multiple good restaurants: Meditereano, Velisa's, Gourmet or if you like simple and local -> DJ Burger (The best simpel burgers in town for a very sharp price) Sarah and Paul are very welcoming and friendly hosts but we didn't see them much because they make long days at work. The Dogs are very friendly and love to play all day, if you don't like dogs this might be not your place to go cause they will be very excited to see you when you go into the garden ;)!

Wonderfull House in nice and calm area. Sarah and her staff were super nice and helpfull. We would recomend everybody to stay in their house!

Sarah's place is very neat and in a nice calm corner, far from the nightmare of traffic of Dar es Salaam. My daughter and my wife enjoyed the living area and the pool a lot whilst I was out working. The house staff are very diligent and well acquainted with the needs of travelers. Tip: always ask for anything you need -- they will help you to figure it out. Overall, a great stay. The easiest way to move around from the area is a motor tricycle - use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to tell them what to do. Dar is growing fast and with there are a lot of issues about beach pollution. We visited during the rainy season and the beach had a lot of plastic bags -- we hope that the ban on plastic bans that is planned for TZ helps to solve this in the future.

Comfortable and stylish house near the beach. Definitely a good place to stay if looking for a spot a bit removed from the hustle of the city center.

Together with a friend I spent my first two nights in Tanzania with Sarah and Paul. We landed without big plans in Daressalaam, the accommodation for the two was the only thing we had booked our three week trip to Tanzania from Germany. Sarah and Paul have made our entry into our vacation by their open, helpful and sympathetic way super easy - from the airport in Dar es Salaam to her house Sarah has organized us a taxi, which all went smoothly. Also helped the two plan to give us with their advice and experience our next few days. The Airbnb is very well equipped, clean, well organized and the breakfast could have been better not be! We will come back :)

Sarah and Paul were great hosts, although I was busy working so wasn't around the house much. Their place is a 2 minute walk from the beach in a quiet residential neighborhood, full of great birds. The pool looked lovely, but I didn't use it. You'll need to organize transportation to go anywhere because the house is not within walking distance of any shops or sights, but they will help you do that. If you need to be in Dar but not downtown and want an alternative to Oyster Bay/the Peninsula, I definitely recommend this place.

Very nice and safe location. Room was clean and it was easy to stay with kids. Hosts were friendly and helped us with anything we needed.

Staying in Doreen's house was amazing. Every was clean and superb. I will surely stay there again anytime I visit Tanzania

The house is big and has a nice terrace + friendly staff. The house itself is secluded and located away from the city center, but you can easily take a bajaj (three-wheeled mototaxi) from the house. For the price the stay was fine, but the cleanliness of the kitchen, which was not very good (we got surprised by cockroaches daily).

Mbezi beach villa was an amazing place to stay at. Abbas made us feel welcome by providing us with a caretaker who looked after the house and ensured that we were comfortable. Being able to reach the caretaker and Abbas at any time took away our travel anxiety. The house is big and very well equipped. My group occupied 6 bedrooms and everybody slept on a comfortable bed. There are 2 bathrooms downstairs and three upstairs. The AC in each room ensured we were cool in the heat of Dar Es Salaam. Although I had booked the house for 12 people coming into Tanzania for a wedding, our group ended up growing by 3 more and the house had the extra beds to accommodate us all. All we had to do was pay the extra for three more people. Mbezi beach villa is a place I would recommend to travellers looking for a good place to stay in Dar.

I stayed with a couple friends for a long weekend at A's huge house in the Mbezi area of Dar. We had a wedding to attend at the nearby hotel strip and loved to be so close to the beach there. The caretakers were friendly and helpful (they could quickly coordinate cabs/bajaj for us), we felt quite safe there and it was great to have so much space even if we didn't really use the main floor! It's a great choice for groups who want to be close to the beach!

We were of group of 7 students from Sweden, we stayed at the Mbezi Beach villa for a total of 6 days. The house is absolutely spacious, clean, fully furnished with everything in bedrooms and the kitchen and is perfect for large groups, whether families or friends. The house is located just a walking distance from the beach hotels with different hotels to choose from, as well as close to boats that go to Mbudya island. Our hosts were very helpful, available 24/7 and just a call away. I strongly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Dar es Salaam as a group, looking for a nice house in a good neighbourhood, close enough to shops, hotels, restaurants by walking or by car.

Sarah & Paul made me feel most welcome in their house which is filled with endearing curiosities and beautiful art. They helped with airport drop off, pick up and tuk-tuks required. House, breakfast and hospitality were grade A and my only regret is that I didn't get to spend more time there on the balcony! Will stay again

I loved the stay in Sarah and Paul's house. The room was very comfortable and beautiful, with everything one might need. Comfy bed, a mosquito net, ventilators, clean towels and great views of the garden and the pool. The housekeeper and the groundskeeper were always ready to help, facilitate transportation and provide a cup of coffee. The house is very tastefully decorated, full of beautiful furniture and small carefully selected details. I recommend spending time at the terrace which is peaceful and secluded. In general you are given the option to be as social as you want to be, while your privacy is well respected. I particularly enjoyed the evening chats with the hosts. I will definitely come back!

Hi the breakfast was lovely. It is a wonderful home and all made me feel very welcome.

Sarah's beautiful home, incredibly helpful groundskeeper and housekeeper, and exuberant dogs made me instantly feel at home in Dar es Salaam on my first trip to Tanzania. The groundskeeper Francis was always willing to help me arrange transportation to and from the downtown area and nearby restaurants, in addition to addressing any other cultural/logistical questions I had. The housekeeper provided me with a delicious breakfast every morning and even took care of my laundry! The room itself was beautiful, spacious, and well served by wireless internet access. I was even able to video (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) home with family and friends! Their place is a short walk from the beach in a very quiet neighborhood. Because I was traveling with local transportation (tuktuks and cabs), getting into the downtown area was a bit expensive and tricky at rush hour, but the enjoyment I had staying here more than made up for this. Looking forward to hopefully staying again sometime!

Well worth a stay! Nice restaurants close by and not too far away from the city centre. Great breakfast, fast wifi and lovely staff. I was here with business and very happy how smooth everything was. Would happily come again!
