When I arrived here I looked t the buildings next to Christina house and was afraid that was where I was staying but when I went through the beautiful gates and saw the building surrounded by palm trees I was pleasantly surprised. Me and my mom's room was great with a large very comfortable bed, beautiful wood work and a... More

We all enjoyed the comfort, the hospitality and... More

We stayed with Christina at the end of our three week safari. We were a little concerned about the traffic noise when we arrived but it wasn't an issue and the wonderfully welcoming environment by far compensated. When we arrived we mentioned we would like to take a walk as we had just come from Ngorngoro crater. Within 1/2 hour... More

I recently spent four nights at Christina House and immediately felt part of a family that only days before were strangers. From the time of arrival with cold fresh mango juice and a warm welcome from Christina and her amazing staff - a culturally rich, local market experience and cooking class - to the time we hugged goodbye; I enjoyed...

We spent three nights at Christina's and had a good experience. I can't say enough about Christina or her family members who help run the place. They are very, very kind and welcoming and go out of their way to help with extra things like arranging trips, laundry and even borrowing Christina's computer to use. The rooms are comfortable and...

We stayed at Christina House before and after our Safari, just three weeks ago. It's a very nice place with super friendly staff that made us very welcoming. The rooms are clean and comfy and the food is AMAZING. We stayed for New Years eve, and Christina and the girls in the kitchen cooked the whole day to prepare an... More

We booked a safari that had us staying at the Outpost Lodge or Oasis in Arusha at the start and end of our safari but I checked the reviews at they were very mixed. While looking up reviews of restaurants in Arusha I noticed that Christina House was #1 and also provided accommodation that had great reviews so we changed... More
