  First night of Honeymoon - We stayed at the hotel for one night at the start of our honeymoon before going off on safari the next day. We had a lovely stay where the staff... read more were extremely kind and helpful. All of them were really friendly when walking around and they really made our one day stay special. The bedroom had petals specially my out Love which was a nice touch and they did a candle lit dinner next to their pool as a surprise which was amazing! We had a wonderful server called Martin who was very attentive and made sure we had a perfect night!

  A gem of a find - I wanted to find a place close to Kilimanjaro Airport since our flight was arriving at 20:40. The Airport Planet Lodge was one of the closer lodging options to... read more JRO. We had arranged a private transfer from the Airport to the Lodge for a very reasonable $15. Angel was there to greet us when we cleared Customs. Our driver arrived 5 minutes later. The ride to the Lodge took about 10 minutes.
We were greeted by the staff and check in for our room was cordial, yet efficient. Even though it was after 22:00 they kept someone in the kitchen to make a pizza for us.
Our room was better than expected. Essentially, it was a brick bungalow. It was spacious, equipped with a safe, a mini fridge and a coffee/tea station. The bed was large and comfortable. Our room also had a large bathroom with a tub and a separate shower. We were more than pleased with the room.
The grounds are not large, but they are nice and are surrounded by a wall, so the area felt very secure. There is a nice swimming pool and a small work out facility.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They were so friendly and helpful.
We only stayed the one night, as we had to meet our safari tour the next day. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer.

  Just what we needed before flying back to US - Had a great layover here. Tegemaeya was the nicest concierge, making sure we were comfortable for the 7 hours we were here while waiting for our flight. Much better than... read more staying in the airport! Good food, great service, nice pool, and warm showers! Perfect way to end our stay in Tanzania.

  Great - Excellent for last day in Tanzania before catching our flight. The beds are very comfortable dinner was delicious and they had good drinks at the bar. The room was very... read more spacious with a nice pool and spa services available too. The staff were helpful with any question or concern I had.

  Excellent place to stay. - This is one of the nicest airport hotels we have stayed. The suites were spacious, clean and even had your own private patio. There were only two... read more suites in a building. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the pool looked great. They even have excursions from there if you have time to take them. Food was very good and they even accommodated dietary restrictions as well as had an early breakfast before our flight. They have a shuttle to the airport.

  Restful Garden Oasis - This oasis of luxury was a delightfully unexpected finish to our three weeks in Tanzania. We chose the hotel because it is the closest the the Kilimanjaro airport, but inside... read more the walls of the secure compound is a garden oasis.

As we passed through reception, my jaw dropped and I said, “Oh!” The grounds are immaculately kept, and serenely restful. After a short stroll on the well lit walkway, we entered our room and I said “Oh!”again. Our bed was large and comfortable; the bathroom had a large walk-in shower with very hot water, as well as a tub if you prefer. The air conditioning cooled the room comfortably. The room is thoughtfully stocked with anything you could need, including shower slippers and robes, and bottled water in both the bedroom and the bathroom.

The staff is very friendly and attentive, which is common in Tanzania, but the amenities set the Airport Planet Lodge apart. Definitely worth staying here.

I only stayed overnight, so I... read more didn't have much opportunity to evaluate anything but the room - which was spacious and spotless. It is a bit pricey compare to some other options in the city, but If you have a 5 AM flight, you'll be happy you paid a little more.
