Guest Reviews

• JONATHAN (10/5): Wonderful. Can't wait to go back to really have time to enjoy all of the facilities. - We loved the facility in every way and especially the beauty of the lodge and the extra special staff. Just the internet. It wasn't 100% reliable.
• Gwyneira (10/5): Fantastic place to come back to after a long hot day on Safari - Stunning gardens and fantastic staff all the amenities that you would expect from this kind of property Pool closes at 7pm but I understand some concerns re animals but they have lots of security
• Brigitte Doh (10/5): - Wunderschöne Lodge von der aus der Crater, Lake Manyara Nationalpark leicht zu erreichen sind. Eine sehr ruhige und entspannte Atmosphäre, liebevoll angelegter grosser Garten und grosse Zimmer. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.
• Kirsten (10/5): Paradiesisch! - Wunderschöner Platz! Traumhafter Garten! Die Zimmer sind sehr groß mit Terrasse und Kamin. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Zum entspannen ist diese Lodge hervorragend.
• Kevin (10/5): -
• Jarmo (10/5): What a beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary. The joyful and energetic welcome dance set the tone which never end - From the top management to every staff member, everyone was committed to make you feel valued and welcomed. With the staff like this, this hotel is absolute pleasure. The property is clean, well maintained and surrounded by lush nature. Gym has proper equipment. Food is good and lots of variety, we have only good things to say. We didn’t experience any problems.
• TOMAS (10/5): - Beautiful garden, beautiful and spacious room
• Pranesha (9/5): Amazing serene - Beautifully designed rooms and space No aircon / fan
• Sonja (5/5): Wunderschön, ABER ! - Die Lodge ist wunderschön, die Mitarbeiter extrem freundlich, die Zimmer supergroß, die Anlage toll angelegt, Massage war top und es gibt unglaublich viel zu Essen ... dennoch werde ich dort nicht mehr buchen, weil ... Es wurde vom Management abgelehnt das unser Fahrer/Guide mit uns zu Abend isst und frühstückt gegen Bezahlung. Er ist seit 21 Jahren unser Freund und darf nicht von uns eingeladen werden wegen seiner Hautfarbe? Für mich Inakzeptabel, ich werde dort nicht mehr buchen und möchte keine Empfehlung aussprechen obwohl die Lodge superschön ist.
• Uzi (10/5): - So… simply a dream! The decor and coziness makes you feel you do not want to leave the room. Great food. Fantastic stuff Beautiful scenery and pool. Massage was extremely professional and relaxing. Simply a super place! Nothing…

• liping (10/5): 非常非常好 员工很棒 -
• Evelin (8/5): Schöne Aufenthalt - Wirklich sehr schön, sehr sehr nette und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter. Vor allem Judith im Restaurant ist wirklich super. Dass es im Zimmer sehr kalt war und keine Heizung da war. Wir haben mit Pullis geschlafen.

• Panayiotis (10/5): - Beautiful property in somewhat isolated area. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Only regret did not allow enough time to enjoy the property. The restaurant does not offer ala carte choice but requests can be accommodated.
• Jason (9/5): Superb - The gardens and grounds were beautiful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are enormous ; clean with huge shower and balcony. Meals were satisfactory. Mostly buffets.
• Anjna (8/5): Very good -
• Gloria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julian (9/5): Superb - The property was exceptional with amazing landscaping, facilities and five star hospitality. The staff were warm and welcoming. I will not hesitate to recommend The Retreat to anyone who is visiting Karatu or Ngorongoro Crater.
• Elvir (9/5): Superb - well maintained property, beautiful rooms and very helpful staff. Perfect place to wind down after visiting The Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Not easy to find even with GPS, few signs.
• Kaaya (9/5): I would come back given an opportunity. - The scenery was breathtaking! Beyond my expectations. Food could be better
• Glennis (9/5): Very very nice. - The facilities were brilliant The food pretty good for Africa. The location was right next to the national park so expected to have views...but all garden. The road in was horrendous and rooms cold. Not enough light and sun getting in.
• Riaan (10/5): Dont even look at something else - just book it - The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The buffet style breakfast and dinner was excellent. They sent us off with a packed lunch so we can maximise our time in the National Park we visited. The accommodation was top class and well worth the money.
• Glenn (10/5): - Beautiful property, super staff, clean bungalows and well maintained. We were very well looked after. Would definitely stay here again.
