5 Star Stay, 5 Star Staff! - This was our 2nd time staying at Airport Planet Lodge and we cannot wait to stay again! We stayed here for 3 nights prior to embarking on a 14 day... read more photo safari in Tanzania and Kenya. It is the perfect place to rest and recover from jet lag. The accommodations are so clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff made sure that we had everything we needed and took such great care of us during the entire stay. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by the manager, Abuu. He made us feel so welcomed and like we were part of the family. His entire staff did the same. We made so many friends that it was hard to leave! Our hosts and servers, Evarest, Husnah, Garboy, Pendo, Eva and others were so warm and friendly! We loved getting to know them. They and the entire staff provided excellent service and made us feel so very special! On our last full day there, the staff assisted us in booking a tour to Marangu. Highly recommend this tour as well. Overall our stay and experience with Airport Planet Lodge was a 5 Star Stay! From the staff, restaurant, accommodations, it’s an excellent choice. We can’t wait to go back!!

  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.

  Planet lodge is an awesome little hotel 15 min. from JRO airport. Free shuttle and a wonderful breakfast included. GREAT staff. I arrived late at night and... read more someone was there to pick me up in a nice a/c van and take me to the hotel. Very easy and accommodating check in. Nice big rooms very clean. Great showers. Awesome pool and grounds if you have enough time to enjoy them. My stay was quick but I would have loved to stay one more night to enjoy the pool. The whole place (pool) included is very clean. I own a travel agency and therefore am very picky about hotels because I'm usually reviewing them to see if I would place my clients in them.. 100% yes on Planet Lodge.
