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.

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.

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
