We had a really nice stay at Anmut hostel. The view is absolutely breathtaking and is definitely worth driving a bit longer from Lushoto! The staff was super nice and helpful with our plans. For 8.000 tsh you get a delicious dinner. I would recommend coming here :))

Great, calm place to stay with friendly staff and hiking tours if you want. Large breakfast with lots of fruit, also dinner was great! Unfortunately, I was alone in the hostel, but Emanuel and his family were super friendly to make me feel at home. Would stay again!
