After a great 14 day safari, my family and I spent a day and a half at this hotel. The accommodations and people were very nice, no complaints there. We... read more decided to eat a late lunch then eat nothing until the flight, which we boarded at 2:40 am. At around 8:00 pm before the flight, the nightmare began and continued on the bus to the airport, in the airport and right up until the 10 hour flight boarded.

This is my first review in a decade, I don't normally write them, but if I can help anyone to avoid the experience we just went through, it's worth a shot.

Nice accommodation, be super, super careful on your food choice.

Hotel management, don't bother responding, I'll never stay there again, do a review of your workers accommodation (I've seen it in the back of the hotel) and ensure the cleanliness is acceptable, at first glance, it is not. Then do a review of your kitchen equipment and staff cleanliness. Totally unacceptable to make your clients sick and I hope someone lisyens to this message and avoids your hotel.

  Planet Lodge visit - Great start to my Safari. Great team members from the front staff and restaurant team. Food was great and had many food choices. Once you enter the... read more lodge area, you can see it is a private setting. The grounds have lush bushes. The room has A/C and are very large. The bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend

  This lodge was absolutely awful. The only good part about the stay was the spa treatment & the lovely lady working there.
The internet didn’t work half the time.... read more The electricity kept going off including at 4.40am when I was about to shower for the airport.
The worst part about it was the food which ended up giving me food poisoning & I was sick the whole time on the flight. The rice looked reheated & I should have not eaten dinner.
The price is completely ridiculous for what you get.
Extremely disappointed & will never stay there again

  Perfect stay - We stayed here 1 night, after our long international flight and before our flight to Seronera (Serengeti). I scheduled transfer to the hotel through the hotel and they were waiting... read more right outside the arrivals door with a sign with my name. The driver drove us the 5 minutes to the hotel where we were met with welcome drinks and checked in. We were assisted to our room, which was clean and comfortable. For our transfer back to the airport, the driver was prompt and dropped us off with no issues. I would stay here again. Everything was clean and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

  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.
