This place is suitable for anyone who are looking for cheap and clean room.
Nice breakfast and kind staff.
hot water for shower is prepared in specific time.
But the location is a little bit difficult to find. However you can find it in Google map.
Thank you for you review - we appreciated having you with us.
And yes, Kanaani Resthouse is located in the part of town called “Kialilo” which is fairly above downtown level and a bit apart from the busy and noisy city center. The location of our hotel rewards with a magnificent view of the mountains and a part of village life.
Having arrived by bus you want to take a taxi for heading there. Taxis are waiting for you directly at the bus stand and you get them for little money – we will give you the current rates if you ask in advance. The taxi ride takes less than ten minutes. If you want to walk downtown afoot you will need about 20 minutes.
We enjoyed our days at the Kanaani Resthouse a lot! The view is wondeful and the nice atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and big and I want to recommend the fresh food! :) Everyday they prepare excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. You won´t miss anything.
Hi Leonie, many thanks for your rating. Yes, our food couldn't be fresher, thanks to Lushoto market each Thursday and Sunday and thanks to our Mama Charle who is known as the most skillful price negotiator.
Not my first time at Kanaani - and hopefullly not my last! This is a professionally run guesthouse which clearly cares about its guests. Clean and comfortable without being over-indulgent, great buffet-style food, friendly and caring staff and management, and the company of like-minded travellers - I wanted for nothing at Kanaani. Cost is about $22 per day, single room, and includes accommodation, breakfast and dinner. Wonderful value for money. Asante sana Sabine na wtu wa kazi.
Hey Julian, thank you for your recommendation. This is really what we thrive for: best value for money within our hotel reference group.

Thank you for your rating! We work hard to keeping this service level as you experienced it.
We found Kanaani Guest house in Lushoto form their great Trip Advisor reviews and were not disappointed. The location, once you find it (but Sabine can provide great directions and indeed was great in responding to emails before we arrived) is beautiful and peaceful and having met other folk who complained about the noise of lodging within the town centre we were thankful. Sabine and the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive without being overbearing and the food is spectacular and plentiful, utilising the abundant local produce. The rooms themselves could use an overhaul being a little dated but that doesn’t take away from the lovely charming attention to detail that make the rooms seem like a little home from home. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Lushoto who likes tranquillity and good food!
Thank you very much for your words. You are right, the noise around Kanaani Resthouse is quite different from downtown Lushoto: more like cows and roosters in the morning and chirping of crickets in the evening.
