Amazing hotel! - We have stayed at Airport Planet Lodge many times and they never fail to provide an excellent experience. All the staff are so very kind, caring and helpful in every... read more way. They treat you like family! The rooms are beautiful and comfortable and the grounds are impeccable. Oh yes and the food is also very delicious. I highly recommend this very lovely hotel.

  I stayed at this lodge for one night upon arrival and also a day room prior to my departure. The transfer from the lodge was efficient. The transfer can be... read more free if you are fine waiting for other guests from the plane but you can pay $10 for a private transfer. I did this and was very glad I did as I was one of the first to leave the airport and it can potentially be a long wait for others. Very courteous driver. Rapid, efficient and friendly check in both times. Beautiful room. Wifi worked well in my room. More expensive than the previous option I have used near Kili airport but well worth it. More

  We stayed here for one night; and the Lodge was perfect for an overnight stay as we landed at midnight with Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi. We were met by... read more the Lodge’s driver for a ten minutes drive to the Lodge. The room was very nice with huge bathtub; and breakfast was great.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Well done to the Management and the team. More

  Great place to stay! Tegemea was the best server - So beautiful and the staff is amazing! The grounds are so pretty with all the plants and the flowers everywhere are amazing. The bathrooms are big in the... read more rooms. Comfortable beds and pillows were also nice. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating.

I have seen German government bureaucrats with more... read more flexibility than these guys. My wife and I stayed with our 3 kids for 6 Hrs after the end of our Safari and the flight back home leaving at midnight. We just wanted a quick shower and a a place to change. Even though we booked 2 rooms at $200+ each, they insisted they had to charges us an extra $100 for our little one since each room only accommodates 2. I tried to make them understand that we wouldn't even take the free breakfast, as we would leave at midnight, nor would we do much sleeping and the 4 beds were fine, but after initially saying they'd try for an upgrade, the manager handed me 3 pages of small print regarding their "official policies" and insisted we pay. This all occurred AFTER we were already in the rooms, otherwise I would have simply sat in the lobby. Even the tour operator called them and spoke in Swahili pleading that they be flexible, but they would not budge and inch.

I could have done that in NYC for less. Everywhere else in Tanzania people were friendly and accommodating. This was the only place where the entire staff looked like they didn't want to be there... The low point of our stay in Tanzania. They need to learn what a repeat customer is. Next time I will stay in Arusha and take the extra 30 min to drive to the airport as well spent price to avoid this awful place. More

They truly make you feel at home. ... read more I highly recommend if you need a place to stay in Kilaminjaro. Best massage by Glory was rejuvenating after long travel.

  Great lounging location before flight home - I stayed one night here, after doing Safari and Zanzibar. I needed some downtime to lounge around before my flight home, and this hotel was perfect for it.

Within... read more 5 minutes of checking in, I signed up for a relaxing massage onsite.

I also needed help tracking down my lost luggage during a connecting flight. The staff called Swissport and the airline, and helped me track my luggage down within the same day.

I highly recommend this hotel for those who need some lounging time before (to get ready for upcoming Safari adventure) or those who need some relaxing down time before heading home.
