Arusha Planet Lodge

Good all round.

No decent restaurant in area so in evening you have to dine at the lodge

The staff is very nice and very comitted.

Planet Lodge is a wonderful place to stay in Arusha. All the rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and private. The bay window is an absolute show stopper. Private balconies provide the visitor with a chance to take in the amazing grounds. Everything is clean and operational. The breakfast buffet is an absolute adventure. And the STAFF! Professional, courteous and make the stay that much more enjoyable. Will definitely stay here again.

The only problem is the street noise, however the rooms are very quiet.

Pleasant setting in a wide garden (we received a bungalow upon request, that was further away from the a bit noisy street that is seperated through a higher wall from the setting). Pool pleasant and garden nice for setting. Bungalow large. Good breakfast buffet.

Excellent service and very services minded employees Wonderful restaurant

Planet Lodge is super convenient, being on the outskirts of Arusha centre, on the Kilimanjaro side. It takes about an hour to get there from the airport. The staff were extremely welcoming and very happy to help. I stayed the day before embarking on my safari, and for two nights after the safari. The hotel is very quiet, and felt very safe. The bedrooms are nice and meet all your needs. Having a pool is a plus (although it was quite cold), and the food was generally very good.

While the accommodation itself wasn't expensive, and I thought that the room was worth the money paid, the lodge does try to eek money out from you in other ways... The main way it does so is through the food. Given the fare offered, I felt that the food was overpriced (the lodge definitely make the most of you being a captive audience, as it is not easy to just walk elsewhere). This is especially true for dinner, for which there is a flat rate of USD 25. It is standard buffet food and, while nice, nothing special to justify that price.

The experience here was truly unique. My wife and I felt taken care of from start to finish, even though we only had one night there. On any return trips to Arusha, this will be our preferred lodging.

In the course of time, I have tried many lodges in Arusha, and Planet Lodge is my favourite place giving a very good value proposition. Lovely and caring staff, very good food both in breakfast and dinner, nice pool and restaurant/bar outlay. Lodges in the nice and well kept gardens are comfy, spacious and clean. In short, a very good place to stay.
