"Unfortunate Experience – Not Recommended"

1.0

I booked this hotel for my guest on October 29, 2025, which happened to be Election Day in Tanzania. During that time, the government temporarily shut down internet access, making it impossible for my guest to pay the final balance on time. Unfortunately, the hotel took advantage of the situation and sold my guest’s booking to another company. This was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience — something I have never encountered before. I do not recommend this hotel, especially for those relying on them for both accommodation and tour organization. Tour consultants should be aware of this lodge’s unethical behavior.

"Lovely staff"

10.0

The staff were really great and attentive, the restaurant is actually very good and good value for money. The hotel manager was really helpful with local knowledge, helping us sort onward travel arrangements and laundry.

The swimming pool could have an upgrade to make the resort even nicer.

"We had a lovely stay at the Karanga River Lodge: highly recommended."

8.0

The location was good in relation to visiting other places. The lay-out of rooms, restaurant and pool was excellent. The staff were very welcoming and friendly: they went over and above to see to it that we had a lovely time.

The shower in the bathroom was not working properly, so we had cold showers most days. The bright white ceiling light in the room felt uncomfortable on the eyes, particularly when trying to read.

"Bel endroit proche du Kilimandjaro je recommande"

8.0

Nous avons apprécié la gentillesse du personnel et leurs sourires, la piscine et les transats très agréables pour se reposer, la calme (mis à part le coq qui chante à partir de 5h du matin) La nourriture est bonne et pas très chère

La propriété de la piscine était moyenne Nous avons bcp attendu pour notre dîner mais le repas est fait à la commande donc il faut être patient
