A little bit of paradise off the main road - The lodge is a little bit of paradise right off of the main road. They are doing major construction on the main road so it can be noisy, but we... read more did not hear anything in our room. The room was comfortable, and luckily the air conditioning worked. There is a nice little sitting area on the patio outside of the room but the room itself only had one chair at a desk. There are many places to sit outside, all nicely shaded. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We had dinner and breakfast here and both were very good. Breakfast was included, but the dinner was à la cart. We did use the pool and the water was a nice temperature, but there was a lot of pollen and dust floating on top of the water. We appreciated the airport shuttle service.

  Very convienent location close to airport. Gated community. reception was exceptionnal. We were the only guests, (Covid times). We were recieved with warm smiles, great service and clean rooms. Breakfast... read more was plenty and delicious.

  Amazing Experience! - I visited Airport Planet lodge twice in a 2 week time frame. The visits were amazing! The private and secure accommodations were so nice and relaxing. I... read more stayed here prior to and after a Kilimanjaro hike. Both rooms that I stayed in were well appointed and comfortable. The restaurant for all 3 meal periods was great! Good quality and service, by Usnah, David and Kelvin! It was nice to relax by the pool and also the lounge area close to the bar. I took advantage of the laundry service after my hike to get nice clean and fresh clothes to take home. Front desk staff, Eva and Julian, were very accommodating. The transport from/to the airport was much appreciated and it was only 10-15 minutes to the lodge. I slept very well on both stays... Cannot recommend this lodge enough!

  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).

  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

  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 stay. comfortable bed, food was very good. Cottage was clean & provided all we needed. Staff was excellent & went out of their was to surprise & celebrate a... read more return guest that was at one point their only guest during covid. It was a beautiful surprise celebration.

  Staff and food are tremendous  - The staff are tremendous here. Friendly, polite and curious. They look after you like one of their own family.

I had a deluxe room. It was spacious, clean... read more and tidy. The thing I loved about this place was how peaceful and quiet it was. Nice to get that space away from the busyness of life.

The meals were top notch. I had the best soup I've ever tasted here so props to the chef.

It was nice there's a little gym here too. It's got the basics to get the job done.

Shout out to Allen and the team. The hard work you guys (and girls) put in is really appreciated. Thank you for making me feel so welcome here.

If I ever climb Kilimanjaro I'll be back 😁
