  Was booked by the travel advisor. We were pleased with every aspect of our stay. They were helpful with a lost bag from our flight. Most impressively they found out... read more it was my birthday and a cake was delivered to our table with a large number of their staff singing and dancing to celebrate with us. A great stay before setting off on our other adventures.

  This is the perfect property to stay in Arusha especially if you're in transit on the way to the National Parks and Reserves.
We got picked up from the... read more airport late in the evening and got quickly assigned our rooms. The rooms were high quality and the beds were fantastic. The hotel has a fairly decent continental-ish breakfast spread with omelettes, breads and fruit.

A small nit is the unheated pool which made it difficult for us to us.

I would recommend this hotel as a starting point if you are planning a multi day trip to Tanzania.

  We needed a place where we'll be waiting until our evening international flight. Booking was super easy. Upon landing and clearing customs, a rep with our name on a sign... read more was waiting for us. He led us to the van, offered hand sanitizer, and wore his face mask the entire ride. 9min later only after leaving the airport, we arrived at the hotel.

The check-in experience was excellent. We were offered refreshments and cold towels. Hand sanitizing stations were clearly marked all over the property.

After asking about the gift shop, the manager proudly took us the store that he kept locked due to the low occupation (covid-19 related). Great stuff in there!

The AC in the room was great, the linens clean and the bed firm.

We took the time to hit the restaurant where we enjoyed the best pizza ever!

Service, accommodation, AC, wifi, gym, proximity to the airport; no need to think twice, this is the place! More

  We prebooked an alternate property online before our Cosmos Tours Safari. At the end of our safari, a Cosmos representative transferred us from Arusha to Kilimanjaro. The "hotel"... read more was not as advertised, to say the least, and we asked the driver to take us to a good hotel. He drove us to the Planet Lodge which turned out to be closer to the Airport for our flight home the next day. We were relieved to find a room was available in this lovely hotel.

Although we were charged high season rates in February, we were not about to argue. I feel we were taken advantage of a bit in that regard but we were not disappointed with the friendly staff, service, food, and accommodations. I lost my prescription sunglasses and approached the front desk to ask if they had been left in the lobby at check-in. The manager overheard the conversation and after determining that my glasses were not found in the lobby, he went out of his way to contact our Cosmos driver, Franklin. My glasses were found by Franklin in the van and he returned them at 9 pm that evening to me. Needless to say, I was extremely grateful to both the staff of Planet Lodge and to Franklin of Cosmos Tours. Asante Sana!

Even at high season rates, this hotel was good value for the money. The property has great security. The rooms are clean with adjustable air conditioning and great water pressure. The food was delicious with breakfast included in our overnight stay. Also included was our transfer to the airport by the hotel shuttle van. We had the opportunity to relax at their beautiful, clean pool. The gardens are lovely. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Overall, a great experience before the 30-hour trip home to Canada.

  Best choice for the airport - Hôtel is just 15 minutes drive from the Kili airport and offers a good shuttle service.
Simple and comfortable, spacious room and quiet rooms, bungalow style, overlooking the pretty garden.... read more Good pizza.
Very good is too much as a rating, good would be the fair one. Kind manager and restaurant team.

  Booked it for some rest after a 37hr hour journey to get to Tanzania.
I reserved the private transfer to the lodge, so right when I got my bag... read more we left, no wait.
The lodge is 15mn from the airport.
