Planet Lodges

  We used the lodge as a place to stay on the way out of the bush, and before heading to the airport. Many others were just getting in from their... read more flights and used as a place to stay overnight before starting their excursions - it's great for both. We were able to eat, grab a drink, shower and relax before our flight which really made a big difference. The pool was fantastic too - great way to cool down and relax. Walking trails - well maybe a bit of an overstatement as there really aren't walking trails. But food was good, and people were super nice - we would definitely stay here again. My only "complaint" is that they were watering the grass and plants - in a place that has serious water issues, I'd prefer that they were more eco-friendly.

  The lodge was absolutely beautiful the bed was very comfortable and the staff were all absolutely lovely and very helpful. I would thoroughly recommend the lodge to anybody visiting Tanzania.... read more It is easily accessible from the airport and their airport shuttle makes it a seamless transfer.

  Warm staff and comfortable lodge - Super hospitable and warm staff. I stayed for a night in between flights and felt so welcomed. Joshua picked us up at the airport and it was a smooth ride... read more to the lodge.

The room was comfortable and the mosquito nets made us feel safe while sleeping.

Breakfast the next morning was delicious. My friend didn’t make it to breakfast and they graciously offered to make her a plate and bring it to the room.

Would happily come back here anytime.

  This place is one of the best places to relax and unwind before and after a safari. It’s very close to the Kilimanjaro International Airport, therefore catching a flight, even... read more at midnight won’t be a problem . The staff are excellent.
The food is homely, freshly made prepared with local fresh ingredients, is delicious.
The rooms are tastefully decorated with modern amenities but with African esthetic touch. There are shady trees and the hotel ground is huge, the pool is good too- ideal for children to play around. It’s quiet and laidback. So many different birds visit regularly. They thrive in this garden full of fruit trees and the air in the garden smells of sweet nectar.
Suggestion- the online payment system needs to be improved, ACs need to be serviced and just as suggestion, the hotel management may plant more colourful flowers like roses and calendulas etc as the soil and climate is ideal. The manager Mr Abuu, and staffs Yohana and Tegemea are particularly very helpful, kind.
All staffs are very efficient and kind

  Good service - Service and food are both great. We had booked a late flight and had to stay at the hotel for a few hours. The waiter serve us with free pop... read more corns and waited on us attentively.

  perfect hotel and closest to Kilimanjaro JRO - perfect hotel and closest to Kilimanjaro JRO international airport for a late night or early morning flight as they have free shuttle starting at 7 am and can arrange special... read more shuttle based on request at other given time. There are no restaurants outside the hotel but the restaurant and bar inside this lodge has excellent brick over pizzas that we tried and other food. Their breakfast was one of the best compared to some of the luxury lodges we stayed in Tanzania as the chef focused on the quality of the food and also available for everyone during the morning busy breakfast hours. The property and rooms were clean and excellent and the front desk was also very helpful and efficient with their checkins. The manager Abub made sure everything for every guest was well taken care off and went around and checked all the time. I would definitely stay here again. Definitely have to book ahead of time as this place gets sold out fast due to the proximity to the international airport and free shuttle service.
