  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.

  Adequate just - Pretty charmless place but children enjoyed their pizza which they said was good. Proximity to airport is the best thing about this place as otherwise I’d avoid. Rooms are adequate... read more and clean but felt like being in a prison so not recommended

  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
