"This is an amazing home away from home. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully set up. The views of Mount Meru are great and the pool really adds to the property. Lastly, the beds are amazing. Ellen and her team do a great job to make you feel at home."

"Don't go to the hotel. To reach there is to climb everest. The worst road I have ever seen to reach a hotel. They charge inadvertently And worst of all it 1.5 hours away from arusha"

"This is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in the world. Everything is perfect here—incredibly delicious cuisine, impeccable cleanliness, and service that's meticulously thought out down to the last detail. Guests' every wish is fulfilled with genuine care and attention. The level of hospitality is astounding, and this hotel has truly become our second home in Tanzania. The animal-friendly activities are an unforgettable experience that will stay with us for a lifetime. We'll definitely be back."

"The lodge is situated in a wonderful garden with many different plants and birds, the right place to relax and enjoy nature. The staff is absolutely incredibly friendly and totally helpful. We had a puncture and the management fixed it in two hours, a great experience."

"The staff were pleasant and helpful. Special attention was given by Obama Obadiah. Although there wasn't much information given about the services offered when we first arrived, we had to ask. It would be good to have the services described, such as meal times. The atmosphere of the location is beautiful and peaceful. The sharleys are spacious and with good privacy."

"We stayed here during our safari in Tanzania and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and full of character. Even the water pressure was fantastic, which is such an underrated luxury when you're traveling! And the food was hands down the best we had on our entire African safari. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff, especially a server named Dorothy. She was absolutely wonderful with my son, Ryker. She remembered his name, took the time to teach him some Swahili, and went out of her way to make him feel welcome. Those small, genuine touches are what turn a great trip into a lifelong memory. If you're looking for beautiful, comfortable accommodations paired with warm, exceptional service, this is the place. We can't recommend it enough."

"* “I highly recommend this hotel for its great hospitality and relaxing atmosphere."

"We stayed in this hotel the night before our safari. The positives are the size of the bed, cleanliness and the staff were very nice. However, the sound echo’s throughout the corridors so if someone is talking it sounds very loud and inevitably wakes you up very early (6am in our case). There is also a window at the top of the door which allows the light to come in. This means that if someone walks in the corridor in the night or early in the morning, the sensor is triggered for the light and it wakes you up. You can also hear the road traffic very clearly through the single glazed windows. There were constant power cuts throughout our stay, which they said were due to them having works on the generator. This resulted in the shower never being able to warm up so it was impossible to have a hot shower. Sadly this also meant you couldn’t use the lift in case you got stuck so be careful if you need it (there are 5 floors). Finally, we went to breakfast at 7.30 (the time we were told it opens) and all the food had been eaten. There were no clean tables, hot drinks or anything left. The chef did try and make us breakfast which was kind, although it took 25 minutes and we were pushed for time which made it difficult. We also had to ask for clean cups and cutlery. It’s a shame because I think the hotel has great potential and is clean but there were so many things that went wrong for us, I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here."

"Highly Recommend! I was traveling with a group of 6 motorcycle riders and the tour agency #IRideArusha. We stayed 2 nights. Great location! Super helpful staff. Cannot speak high enought about Esther, the manager. I arrived at the lodge with the start of a stomach virus. Ester stayed with me checked on me, and sat with me. It is scary enough to be sick at home...but in a foreign country... I never felt alone or scared. Esther worked with the lead from the #iRide Arusha tour agency. Between the two of them. I was feeling a lot better by the time I left. Would love to go back so I can really enjoy the lodge!"
