Very nice place to stay near the Kilimanjaro airport - We stayed here on our last night in Tanzania, following a safari tour. The hotel is extremely nice and the service is truly top notch. The staff here... read more really aims to please and is so welcoming. They will also provide a shuttle to or from the airport at any time of day. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Planet Lodge! 😊

  Worst experience ever! The Planet Lodge very rudely announced that only 3 people will be allowed in each day room, and that payment was required for 2 additional rooms. The... read more Planet Lodge staff were not very hospitable about the situation, and the clients never want to use the lodge again in the future and will not recommend that to any future groups. GEI ended up paying for extra those two rooms, but the experience left much to be desired for.
In future we will have to be very careful with booking day rooms for groups so that it is clear how many people will in fact be allowed into such day rooms.
There were no towels available. More

  A very basic hotel for the price of a fancy one - In terms of décor, amenities, services, and food this is a very basic hotel. Meals are served on plastic plates. When I signed in at the front desk, a cockroach... read more almost ran over the piece of paper I was writing on. There was a lot of industrial noise from a facility nearby all night. Tacky Christmas lights were mounted around the restaurant and, to add insult to injury, they played a beeping song all evening.

Positive aspects: Staff was very friendly, the mattress on my bed was good, they had Nutella for breakfast (but no decent coffee).

  A holiday to remember - I went there with my family for the holidays and to be honest it was the most comfortable hotel I've ever been to since the service was wonderful, the rooms... read more were quite comfortable and furnished in high standards, the food was delicious and highly hygienic and the environment itself is breathtaking such that it could mesmerize a person in seconds, we didn't find trouble getting transport and it's within close proximity to the airport hence we didn't find trouble reaching there. The experience was lovely I'd highly recommend others to go through this wonderful experience

  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 Hotel - Beautiful setting. Lovely room. Kind helpful accommodating staff. The grounds were clean- nice walk within the grounds. Enjoyed the restaurant - good food in a perfect outdoor setting. Nice pool... read more area. If we return to Tanzania, would return to this hotel.

  Ok for a day room - Needed a room for the day before flight home. It’s fine, but I don’t understand all the glowing reviews. It’s the epitome of average. Internet is painfully... read more slow. Room was clean but bathroom was dated. Had a decent massage. Gift shop has barely anything.
