Guest Reviews

• Barbara (7/5): Super pratique, confortable, mais trop cher pour ce que c'est, mais il n'y a pas d'alternative avec le meme - La proximité de l'aéroport et les massages Le WiFi était presque inexistant dans les chambres, c'est quand même encore souvent le cas aujourd'hui en Afrique. Quelques membres du personnel étaient trop intenses á toujours demander si tout va bien surtout au restaurant
• Deb (10/5): Perfect for our one night layover! - The grounds are lovely and the rooms were spacious. It was perfect for our one night layover. We got a wonderful night of rest before continuing our trip.
• Haouchine (4/5): Décevant - Non Nous avions été arnaqué par les prix des safaris et de la visite de la ville, l’établissement nous a fait comprendre que ce sont les prix de la l’agence, mais finalement n’y’avait aucune agence, ils ont encaissé eux même les frais de safari 800 dollars et 180 dollars visite de la ville. Nous profondément déçus.
• Talib (8/5): -
• Julie (8/5): Great hotel close to the airport in Kilimanjaro - Lovely pool and great room. Staff very helpful. Great airport shuttle - they collected us after flight changed from the Serengeti and we arrived an hour early. Although pool lovely sized - it could do with a little maintenance.
• Marcia (9/5): -
• Marcia (10/5): Everything was unhurried and calm and they looked after all of our concerns around flights with big smiles! - It’s quiet, close to the airport and has a lovely tropical feel to it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely, restful transition to a long flight! Nothing
• Simon (9/5): -
• YUKOH (8/5): 初めてのアフリカで非常に良い体験でした。 - 朝食もおいしく、静かで非常にいいと思います。 市街から少し遠く、周辺を散策するには不便でした。
• Charles St. (8/5): Beste Option in Verbindung mit Airport - Der ganze Komplex. Sicherheit. Eigentlich nichts.
• Glenda (10/5): The staff was very nice , helpful and friendly. The food was very good. I had to extend my time in Tanzania due to fligh - The pretty is nicely maintained. Relatively secluded with highway noise being the only issue but it was not a big deal to me. Towels need to be changed and freshened. They were nice enough but looked dingy
• Rachel (8/5): Great option if you are between flights. - Very friendly staff. Convenient location and free airport shuttle. Spa AMAZING! Had the best massage there! Spacious and clean room. Service a little slow. Pool is big, but seen better days.
• Nicole (6/5): Very functional airport hotel - It is an airport hotel, very functional, staff were friendly. Only around 10 minutes from Kilimanjaro Airport so a great location. Complimentary shuttle bus which was great. We ate there in the evening, the food was ok, but pricey and far more expensive than it should have been, but you're trapped there. We had much better quality meals in Arusha for a lot less. Air conditioning was very good. We would stay there again if our circumstances were the same, purely out of convenience for the airport, not for any other reason. Food was ok and too expensive
• David (8/5): -
• Manuela (10/5): -
• William (10/5): - Nice, confined and private very close to Kilimanjaro airport. Great place, great facilities and great food.
• Armando bronzetti (7/5): - colazione ottima e abbondante la fase di arrivo, avere la stanza alle 17 è veramente tardi, al mattino poi devi lasciarla alle 10, altrimenti devi pagare un extra
• Robin (8/5): This is a great place to start and/or end your Tanzania travels. We hope to return one day. - All the staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. The rooms were spacious and well appointed and the grounds were well maintained. We had a fabulous massage at the spa. One negative was the strong smelling cleaning product used in the room. It took awhile to get used to it. Lastly, only one of the three nights of our stay, one of the servers charged us for double drinks when we did not order and the amount served did not appear to be a double. It was minimal additional costs so not worth a fuss but something to be aware of.
• Laurie (10/5): Great place to stay in a good value - The staff was amazing. We got in late but they still made a meal for us which was lovely. The rooms were huge and everything was very clean. Also lovely grounds. Nothing
• A (7/5): - Nice property, it was well maintained.
• luke (10/5): Comfortable, clean and convenient - Property is very clean and extremely close to JRO airport. The hotel offers a shuttle which is very convenient. The pool area is very nice and relaxing and the food was delicious
• Charlene (10/5): It was excellent - Food/staff Hopefully the road construction will be finished.
• Sarah (8/5): Bequeme Transfer-Übernachtung mit gratis Shuttle, aber ohne späte Essensmöglichkeit. - • Gute Option für eine Transfer-Übernachtung • Kostenfreier und zuverlässiger Flughafentransfer • Bequeme Betten • Relativ weit vom Flughafen entfernt (9 km) • Kein Essen möglich wegen später Anreise
• Janet (10/5): Perfect location after you land at Kilimanjaro with incredibly comfortable rooms and the best staff - The room was spacious and clean and very, very comfortable. I think what was most impressive about the property or the people who work there and how they constantly looked for ways to be helpful.
• Guy (8/5): very convenient and comfortable stay - Staff assistance
• Galloza Bonilla (10/5): -
• Serrette (10/5): Great option if you need a place for a layover - The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom shower was great with hot water and great water pressure. I also appreciated the free shuttle to the airport
• Laura (8/5): Convenient airport lodge with great staff and pool - Lovely friendly staff, great airport shuttle to Kilimanjaro airport , very nice pool, beautiful relaxing grounds. Nice spacious accommodation with comfy bed and good shower! I really think it’s very expensive, both to stay and for food. However it’s worth it for the convenience to JRO airport.
• Clark (10/5): Great experience in a travel delay overnight, but they appeared to have exclusions for safari available as well - Close to the airport for an overnight stay No negatives
• Carina (10/5): They live up to their goal of ‘making you feel at home’ - Super convenient oasis. We spent our last day here recovering from 3 weeks of Tanzanian andventures and it was perfect! The staff was excellent and very flexible/ accommodating around our unique schedule.
• roncali (9/5): -
• Sigute (6/5): - location, shuttle service, room size, restaurant staff check in was chaotic- around 90mins/arrived 6pm. I heard other guests complaining that they have waited several hours for their rooms to be cleaned.
• Yoshihiko (10/5): - Very kind staff, good dinner, and clean room
• Sarah (8/5): A quality, safe place to stay close to JRO airport with very nice staff. - The staff was excellent and accommodating and the property itself was safe and peaceful with a lot of amenities. Our room was short on towels and toiletries which for $200+ USD per night was unexpected. We didn’t get to use the property amenities so we can’t comment. The WiFi in the room was almost unusable as well so take note if you need internet.
• Staffan (8/5): Good stay close to airport - Nice clean hotel close to JRO airport!
• michael (10/5): - Complimentary airport shuttle and packed breakfast were greatly appreciated
• Marilyn (7/5): -
• Heaston (10/5): would stay again. Wonderful staff and facility! - great location and the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. We loved the spa and all had various massages. We loved walking the grounds and the thought put into the layout. not the hotel's fault but they were doing road construction literally RIGHT outside the front gates and almost all night. It was very dusty and very lout.
• David (10/5): -
• Janet (10/5): -
• Delphine (10/5): Molto bello e comodo -
• Neil (9/5): -
• Anne (10/5): Staff was incredible. They couldn’t do enough for me and my friend. Food was very good with many choices. I used the spa - The property was very cool. It was close to the airport. Nothing
• Costanza (8/5): Great stay extremely close to the airport, very convenient if you have an early flight - The hotel is extremely close to the airport, we had a 5am flight so very convenient and they offer free shuttle or you can pay for private shuttle (but honestly the free shuttle was good). They offer free breakfast. We had some issues with leaking AC in the room, when alerted the staff changed our room immediately! So also super attentive and professional staff. The rooms are clean and large. The wifi really does not work well.
• Rachel (7/5): -
• Barbara (9/5): Outstanding, perfect place to stay near JRO - Everything was perfect, everything including the location, shuttle, restaurant, staff, and the room. We couldn't get hot water for a shower; water was cold to lukewarm in the early evening. Other than that the room and hotel were outstanding. Nearly perfect, terrific hotel, I would stay there again.
• Neil (10/5): Great hotel. Would definitely stay again. - Very convenient to JRO. Comfortable, good food and helpful friendly staff. Pool is amazing. Bit of a trek to Arusha.
• Giorgia (10/5): - Tutti i comfort necessari. Non abbiamo usufruito della piscina perché siamo arrivati tardi la sera. Comodissimo per ripartire con voli all’alba. Un po’ buio il percorso fino alla stanza .
• Fabiana (10/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): Apart from internet very good! - Facilities, staff and location Wi-Fi was almost non existent
• Linda (10/5): - Great location. Beautiful grounds. Staff exceptional. Rooms clean and beautifully decorated. Free shuttle to airport. Quiet.
• David (10/5): -
• Hanny (10/5): - Muy lindo y cómodo
• Sauwan (7/5): - 機場附近，有車接駁到機場，但要收費； 職員態度好，spa 很舒服但少貴 提前講了check in 時間，但到達後仍需要等待房間
• Daniel (9/5): -
• Agustina (8/5): Excelente - Todo súper
• James (8/5): -
• patrice (8/5): Bel hôtel mais prix un peu élevé - Service, le confort des chambres et la piscine Prix pour l’hergement un peu élevé
• Ellen (7/5): Totally fine, and probably the best option you'll find that's close to the airport. - The staff are wonderful, the shuttle to the airport was fast and easy, everything was clean My room had noticeable traffic noise and the AC would not cool the room adequately and beeped about every 3 minutes the entire time it was turned on. The food at the restaurant was also incredibly expensive and not very good (I had a salad and a soup).
• Agustina (9/5): Excelente - La atención del personal es inmejorable. Nos alojamos la 1era noche que llegamos antes de salir para el safari al otro día y estuvimos súper a gusto. La ubicación es excelente, quedando solo a ‘15 del aeropuerto. Camas muy cómodas, limpieza muy buena. El wifi no llegaba muy bien a donde estaba nuestro lodge. Quizás deberían poner repetidores cerca.
• Claudia (8/5): -
• Andre (9/5): The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. They have provided me everything that I needed. I had to the leave at 5am, - Comfortable, beautiful, very well located. Not internet in the room. The WIFI barely reached my room (n. 07) and my phone had no connection either.
• Morgan (9/5): -
• peggy (6/5): Pleasant hotel, very clean and welcoming staff - Staff is very friendly The sheets were not dried 100% on my bed. I discussed this mishap with the manager who was grateful for feedback and all was sorted.
• Sandhya (8/5): - The proximity to the Kilimanjaro Airport is the advantage. Food was fantastic. a comfortable stay with all the basics in place. Drop to airport was a nice value add. Seemed a bit pricey for the given facilities.
• Thais (8/5): -
• Nancy (10/5): We highly recommend Airport Planet Lodge! - This lodge was excellent in every way. We loved everything. Our stay could not have been better!
• Georgi (10/5): Nice place - Short stay, but very nice people and comfy beds All good
• olivia (10/5): -
• Lara (10/5): Friendly and comfortable place near the airport. - The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They met me at the airport and made everything so easy and effortless. Highly recommend.
• Julia (10/5): Loved This Hotel - It's an absolutely fantastic hotel. I was disappointed I only got to stay for one night pre flight back home.. A gated complex, set in lush green gardens with extra large bungalow accommodation dotted around the complex. Large pool and sunbed facilities, which looked so inviting, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to use. A great spa and Zam Zam and Hilda were exceptional. Much needed after a week in the Serengeti. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. With welcome drinks as soon as we arrive. Great dining facilities, including an excellent breakfast selection. Complimentary airport service, which took about 10 mins to Kilamanjaro airport. I would highly recommend it. A great find on booking.com.
• Pablo (7/5): -
• Karine (6/5): Bien mais cher - La proximité de l'aéroport La chambre et la salle de bain spacieuses La terrasse Le petit-déjeuner Le rapport qualité-prix pour une nuit étape avant le départ en safari Pas d'eau chaude le matin
• Lawrence (10/5): -
• Sevla (8/5): - Kahvaltı yeterli ve temizdi. Personel güleryüzlü ve yardımcıydı. Ücretsiz shuttle servisi size göre ayarlanıyor ve kullanması çok rahat. Oda ve banyo tertemizdi. Havaalanına yakın oluşu avantaj. Sadece birkaç saat uyumak için kaldık o yüzden fazla bir yorum yapamıyorum.
• Gaylene (10/5): Close to airport - The hotel was great with lovely welcoming staff and the proximity to the Kilimanjaro Airport.
• João Victor (10/5): -
• Reed (8/5): -
• David (9/5): -
• Susan (9/5): Great stay close to JRO airport. - Our room was really quiet and comfortable and the location of this hotel is perfect, very close to JRO airport. Nothing, everything was good.
• Molly (9/5): -
• Petra (10/5): - I will always remember the exceptionally warm welcome I received when I think of the Airport Planet Lodge. As a solo traveler, I deliberately looked for accommodation just outside of Arusha for my first stay in Tanzania that offered a free airport shuttle, as I didn't land in Tanzania until late in the evening, around 8:30 p.m. I traveled at the beginning of the low season in early April, so I received a free upgrade to the room I had booked. The room was large and spacious and was cleaned twice a day. The beds are very comfortable, and the mattresses weren't sagging. The water pressure in the shower is a bit weak, but perfectly acceptable. Only the Wi-Fi connection sometimes seems to be a bit overloaded. The staff were consistently courteous, polite, and attentive and helped me with all my questions and special requests. Many thanks again to Abu, Evarest, Kelvin, Pendo, and Josephin, who worked so hard to make my stay at the hotel a carefree experience. The breakfast buffet is exceptionally varied and offers a very large selection of different products, including freshly squeezed juices and fruit. The hotel restaurant changes its dinner menu every day, and the food was simply delicious. The hotel grounds are incredibly well-maintained and very beautiful. The pool is large and has a bar, although it wasn't always staffed due to the season. Only the pool chairs are showing their age and could use replacing. After a three-day tour of the Serengeti National Park, I was happy to return to the hotel for two more days before catching my next flight. It felt like coming home.
• guena (8/5): I will come back if I pass by - Great staff and great location of u have to fly from Kilimanjaro airport Large pool The food The pizza are not like everywhere in the rest of the world and not the best😥 Food to much oily
• Oleg (10/5): -
• Roy (7/5): - airport wasn't cheap
• bobbi (9/5): my stay (twice!) was excellent! meals were great, staff were professional and friendly, and the grounds were kept clean - close to airport, gated community, and the grounds felt like i was in a tropical garden! lots of butterflies and birds! no biggie, but wi fi was spotty making it difficult to get online to check in for flights, etc.
• Thomas (8/5): We found it a great place to settle after the long flight from Amsterdam rather than Moshi - The quick trip to our room from the airport as well as the willingness of the staff to cook for us at a late hour. Due to blasting for the road recontruction we had to vacate our rooms early but this was not on the hotel.
• Claire (10/5): Beautiful hotel, very convenient to the airport, wonderful staff, delicious food! - Had a wonderful stay here! My friend and I flew in from the United States and arrived at 4 in the morning. We had arranged a private driver but the hotel let us know that they would have picked us up for free. They greeted us and got us into the room right away. We slept very well in the large cozy bed with the cold air conditioning. We woke up to a beautiful garden full of birds and a delicious breakfast with a good mix of foods that we knew and African local dishes. The grounds were gorgeous, the staff was so kind and welcoming, the food was delicious and the room was very comfortable. 10/10 experience. Fully recommend! The only small inconvenience was that the wifi didn't work well in the room but it wasn't really an issue for us. It worked well in the common areas.
• Markus (9/5): -
• Marie (1/5): Cacahuète a 6 euros taxi 5 fois plus cher que le vrai prix honteux - Cacahuète a 6 euros faut arrêter de nous prendre pour des vaches à lait ... De même on commande un taxi 4 fois le vrai prix Hôtel a côté de aéroport qui abuse grave de sa position Fuyez il y a mieux ailleurs et moin cher Petit déjeuner fade
• Elke (8/5): Ein guter Stop vorm Rückflug mit einem super Spa -
• Joyce (10/5): We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend! - This property was a convenient drive from JRO airport. It has exceptional service and well appointed rooms. In the morning breakfast was a buffet with made to order omelets - it was delicious. Wouldn’t change a thing.
• Silverman (8/5): Bonne étape - La belle et grande piscine Le jardin Les chambres spacieuses
• jon (9/5): - Nice stop after a safari.
• Jodie (10/5): Perfect for an overnight stay before a flight - Lovely room, lovely pool and exceptional staff! The airport transfer was very helpful!
• Мария (10/5): - Спасибо всему персоналу! Еда
• Bruce (9/5): Great stay on our last day in Tanzania - Free shuttle Nice breakfast Great pool Nice rooms
• Kevin Nilon (9/5): A real Oasis for weary travellers - Hotel shuttle picked us up - comfortable drive to the hotel. Very friendly helpful staff. Dinner was simple but very good. Breakfast was good - quantity and quality. As we had a late flight we were given a late checkout and we were able to wait around the very well kept pool until our departure. Once again a very comfortable trip to the airport. Front desk was very helpful on checkout when there was a glitch with my credit card. I don't recall any dislikes.
• Lisa (6/5): Adequate - The location was close to the airport. Great for a late night arrival The check in staff were so rude. They made a mistake but immediately put the blame on me. The lady handled it with abruptness and anger. Once they realised they had made a mistake the lady was still hostile and unkind. It was hard as we arrive at midnight with children too. I was so disappointed as the stay was not budget.
• Knut (10/5): - Sehr nettes Personal, sehr schöne Zimmer, toller Garten mit Bäumen und sehr gepflegt. Es hat mir Alles sehr gut gefallen, es gibt nichts Negatives zu melden
