Kili Villa

Arusha

8/10 Very good

Yes there is a bumpy 15 minute ride from the main road but the pay off is a tranquil environment to relax at Kili Villa. Our room had a lovely outlook to the gardens where local fauna and birds did their thing. The staff were welcoming and courteous, and the food was delicious. Perhaps the experience could have been improved with better communication about food and drink options when we arrived (with an explanation card). There are no other options for F&B in the area (aside from the golf club)...

The hotel rooms were a good size, very clean, well serviced, but quality of the sheets was not good, as on the five nights that we did stay overall on our holiday, we found holes in the bottom sheet on two occasions. The staff were very friendly and helpful and it was no problem for them to address any concerns, they acted immediately to remedy situations. The manager was a lovely person who went out of her way to meet our comfort needs. Location of the hotel was in an out of the way location,...

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Arusha

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Arusha is during April, May, and November, when hotel rates are typically lower. To fully appreciate the area's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural experiences, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During this time, visitors can engage in various adventures such as safari trips, rock climbing, and camping, all set against the backdrop of Arusha's stunning landscapes. This period offers great value for money, allowing travellers to explore the charming small-town atmosphere, enjoy sunny weather, and witness breathtaking sunrises, all while keeping expenses in check.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Arusha, consider visiting the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on nearby accommodations as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special offers, helping you seize savings opportunities. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you find the best options. With these resources, you're more likely to secure great prices and make the most of your Arusha getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at an Arusha hotel. If you’re in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you make a booking through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the cost is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, increasing your chances of securing a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Arusha's excellent public transport options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-connected. For those eager to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often remarkable value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative locations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
