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.

  The BEST first night ever in Africa! - The Airport Planet Lodge was the most amazing first night stay!

  This place is one of the best places to relax and unwind before and after a safari. It’s very close to the Kilimanjaro International Airport, therefore catching a flight, even... read more at midnight won’t be a problem . The staff are excellent.
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

I could have done that in NYC for less. Everywhere else in Tanzania people were friendly and accommodating. This was the only place where the entire staff looked like they didn't want to be there... The low point of our stay in Tanzania. They need to learn what a repeat customer is. Next time I will stay in Arusha and take the extra 30 min to drive to the airport as well spent price to avoid this awful place. More
