  Great place to stay near the airport. - Pickup at the airport was right when we exited customs. The agent, Angel helped us with our bags and led us to our car where the driver, Alex was waiting.... read more Checkin was seamless and we were led to our comfortable room. I removed one star bc our bathroom had a leaky toilet tank and our shower floor slanted so the water spill out to the main floor. However, on the plus side, the staff was extremely friendly and very responsive to our needs. Breakfast had great variety and I enjoyed the made-to-order omelet.

  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.

  Great, convenient lodge near JRO! - Julius and his team were wonderfully attentive, consistent, and hard working! I stayed at Planet Lodge Airport near JRO for a few days after my late night arrival in... read more Tanzania. The shuttle met me at the airport and the driver was very kind and personable. I then traveled through beautiful Tanzania and returned to Planet Lodge Airport near JRO for two nights. I had a 5:27am plane departure and was given a breakfast box for the airport when we left at 3am. The restaurant was very good and the chef was very accommodating when I asked for slightly different variations of menu items or extra avocado with most of my meals It’s the closest lodge near JRO airport and well worth the convenience of having an efficient complimentary shuttle to and from. Overall, the lodge was safe, accessible, reasonably priced, and well appointed for the business traveller.

The food is homely, freshly made prepared with local fresh ingredients, is delicious.
The rooms are tastefully decorated with modern amenities but with African esthetic touch. There are shady trees and the hotel ground is huge, the pool is good too- ideal for children to play around. It’s quiet and laidback. So many different birds visit regularly. They thrive in this garden full of fruit trees and the air in the garden smells of sweet nectar.
Suggestion- the online payment system needs to be improved, ACs need to be serviced and just as suggestion, the hotel management may plant more colourful flowers like roses and calendulas etc as the soil and climate is ideal. The manager Mr Abuu, and staffs Yohana and Tegemea are particularly very helpful, kind.
All staffs are very efficient and kind
