Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The stay was fabulous. The entire team at Holiday Inn are just so amazing, excellent customer care. Would love to come back again! The day we were checking out, it was my wife's birthday. I had requested something from the hotel. Pravin and his team just so happen to pull it through. It really worked just so fine. My my wife was really surprised to have seen the entire team singing happy birthday to her, she enjoyed the cake!

We had a very good 3 night stay here at Holiday inn, Dar-es-salaam. We had 2 interconnected rooms which was convenient for our family. The Hotel’s proximity to nearby Indian restaurants was very helpful to us as we were Indian vegetarians. The airport pickup and drop-off was nice and the drivers were very courteous. The business lounge was also a nice touch. The rooms were comfortable, but a small suggestion, the bathroom doors are opaque glass and don’t have a lock which was a minor inconvenience. I asked for an empty plate in the room and they charged for that ! Overall, I would recommend this hotel to people looking to stay near the city centre.

An excellent choice in Dar es Salaam. Perfect and very friendly service. Nice, practical rooms and bathrooms. Clean and sanitized. Very good breakfast. Internet without flaws. Well situated on the good side of the city center to transfer to the airport (30-40 minutes). Good ratio quality/price. Stayed there 3 times June-July 2023). Can only recommend.

Warm friendly welcome and made my way to the room. Hotel was clean but could do with an update. Room was big enough and comfortable bed. Shower took a while to warm up but was powerful and good. Bathroom was not the nicest and really does need renovation. Decent enough amenities in room and 2 bottles of water. Gym needs attention if they want to tell people they have one. Running machines are useless and unusable. Cable machine is broken and can't use. Weights ok but need heavier ones. Restaurant on roof is nice but could do with tuning music down as you can't talk to friends. View is nice and food was good and I enjoyed it. When I come back I would stay here again.
