Karanga River Lodge

Staff were brilliant and helped with a number of requests and issues we needed sorting.

All good

Breakfast was very good.

No river - name is misleading

Super comfortable, large rooms. The staff were amazing and super helpful. Food was great. Everything about the stay we loved. We felt at home, so much so we stayed again after the mountain. The pool is a great way to relax post Killmanjaro

Nothing at aĺl

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.

Very nice breakfast and great coffee with the kiliminjaro view

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.

Sehr gepflegte, charmante Anlage, recht grosse Zimmer. Tolle Pool- Anlage. Alles sehr sauber! Das Essen war auch lecker. Agnes und ihr Team sind super, sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

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.

Hotel location , service and friend manager.

coffee

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
