Planet Lodges

  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.

The restaurant was a highlight of my visit. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There was a great variety of options, and everything I tried was delicious. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, making it an enjoyable place to sit and unwind.

The entire facility was spotless, from the dining area to the common spaces. It was clear that cleanliness and maintenance are a priority here, which made me feel even more comfortable.

What could have been a stressful and exhausting day turned into a surprisingly enjoyable experience. I’m truly grateful for the hospitality and the quality of service I received.

  I rate the staff highly—very helpful.
Room was comfortable. Restaurant food and service were quite good.
The ‘Airport’ name is misleading. This hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Nothing... read more is nearby. BEWARE: it cost $120 to make a round trip to Arusha using the hotel shuttle since other services are not nearby. It’s a decent place if all you need to do is wait there for a travel connection. Otherwise, find a more convenient place.

  GET A MASSAGE! - This was probably the BEST experience of lodging in Africa that we've had.

I... read more stayed here prior to and after a Kilimanjaro hike. Both rooms that I stayed in were well appointed and comfortable. The restaurant for all 3 meal periods was great! Good quality and service, by Usnah, David and Kelvin! It was nice to relax by the pool and also the lounge area close to the bar. I took advantage of the laundry service after my hike to get nice clean and fresh clothes to take home. Front desk staff, Eva and Julian, were very accommodating. The transport from/to the airport was much appreciated and it was only 10-15 minutes to the lodge. I slept very well on both stays... Cannot recommend this lodge enough!

  Clean and great staff! - Good location near the airport for quick stop before/after a safari or Kilimanjaro trip.
