  A fantastic experience - highly recommend! - We had an absolutely lovely stay! The people who work here are the best part of the experience - everyone greeted us with a smile, helped us with our Swahili,... read more and assisted us in any way they couldwe are so grateful to them and it was such a beautiful way to start our vacation in Tanzania! The rooms were beautiful and spacious and the bed was so comfortable - perfect after a long journey in from the US. And the food was excellent - we enjoyed every meal we had over the course of the few days we were here.

  Friendly stuff - We had the last night stay at this lodge before leaving Tanzania. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. I asked their help to send my postcard. I am looking... read more forward to receiving it 🙂 . The location of the lodge is amazing. We didn’t need to get up early to catch the flight. The food is great.

  Great Location to Kilimanjaro Airport - Our flight to Kilimanjaro landed at 100 am. The last thing we wanted to do was to travel at night to get to a hotel in Arusha or some... read more other location. This hotel was the perfect alternative to extensive traveling at night. The hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from the airport and the hotel will do convenient complimentary pickups from the airport.

Although not luxury, this is a very good hotel with the obligatory mosquito netting in the rooms, nice bathrooms with hose nozzle bidets, comfortable beds with nice blankets and very good security. The staff are very welcoming, and the breakfast buffet has good offerings.

We booked this hotel for one night because we liked the reviews in Trip Advisor and other websites and really liked the convenient location to the airport in Kilimanjaro. We think we made a really good choice.

  Near to Kili airport but their property in Arusha is better - I’ve stayed in their property in Arusha which is much nicer. The convenience of this hotel to Kili airport is nice, but I was not as impressed by the staff... read more and grounds. Our check in was chaotic. There were mistakes with our booking which necessitated a supervisor get involved. Once that was settled the restaurant closed in between lunch and dinner. We hadn’t eaten all day. They did provide us with food, however. The rooms are really nice! The shower is amazing.
I didn’t use the pool or other facilities. The Arusha property is greener with nicer grounds. My room at this hotel was very loud with lorries passing by my room at all hours.

  A lovely piece of paradise. - We had the privilege of stay in this beautiful lodge. The gardens are so enchanting and the staff will warm your heart. We stayed a few days as we travel... read more around Tanzania and we were welcomed “home” each time upon our return. You’re welcomed with a wet towel, to remove the road dust, juice and a staff eager to attend to all your needs. The rooms are divine. Clean, spacious and with turndown service. We are treated like royalty. There is a beautiful pool area and even a massage studio. The dining area is situated so you can eat in an enclosure or sit on a covered patio and enjoy the gardens. The food is very good and again the staff is waiting to service your special dietary needs. We loved chatting with Pendo, Agape, Abbu and so many more. I worked on my Swahili and they taught me new phrases. Asante Sana, tutaonana tena, kwa heri. A true hidden gem.

  Great place to end the trip! - Great place to end our magical time in Tanzania. We had a very warm welcome by Eva. The grounds are beautiful with a lot of trees and plants. We had... read more everything we needed in our room. The service was kind and attentive. It is very close to the JRO airport. The food was good but nothing extraordinary.
