Guest Reviews

• allisonhowland (10/5): Best spa!! - Everything was fabulous! The spa was amazing and the staff were very friendly and made my stay the best! Thank you very much
• 88lizan (10/5): Amazing experience - Tegemea was an amazing host Amazing place The rooms where good and clean the food was absolutely delicious Swimming pool was also nice
• cal336 (10/5): Good service - Service and food are both great. We had booked a late flight and had to stay at the hotel for a few hours. The waiter serve us with free pop corns and waited on us attentively.
• ericmY2264FR (10/5): Great Adventure - We had a great experience and the staff was superb! Everyone is extremely welcoming and makes every experience an adventure to remember.
• emilygZ1099KQ (10/5): Highly recommend - All of the staff is very welcoming and have made the stay very enjoyable! Everything is very clean and the food is delicious.
• Krisdly (10/5): Perfect Layover Escape Near Kilimanjaro - I flew into Kilimanjaro at noon with a long layover until 1:25 a.m., and this hotel was a lifesaver. They offer convenient day rooms from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., plus options to book a room with swimming access or add on dinner. Having a comfortable space to rest, swim, and recharge made my layover so much less hectic. The setup was perfect, and the staff made everything easy. Honestly, it turned what could have been a stressful wait into a relaxing break. Highly recommend—it was awesome!
• Jennywawa (10/5): What a wonderful spot. Clean rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. Tegemea was our favorite waiter! - What a charming spot and the proximity to the airport is perfect for those late night arrivals. Our shuttle was waiting for us when we walked outside. We had a seamless 3am check in and were thrilled to have a hot shower and comfortable bed to ease our travel weary bodies
• JohnandBettyBangkok (10/5): Very comfortable hotel in a good location. Recommended - Only a short ride from JRO, Airport Planet lodge is a great choice after (or before) a long journey. We arrived late in the evening and the staff were very firendly and welcoming. The kitchen was still open but after a cold beer we were ready for bed. Our double room was clean andspacious with a comfortable bed and air conditioning. The shower had plenty of power. There was balcony with a seating area but we didn't have the chance to use it. Our room was close to reception but was quietThe following morning we enjoyed a good breakfast before our check out. Highly recommended.
• joycehC735UE (10/5): A little bit of paradise off the main road - The lodge is a little bit of paradise right off of the main road. They are doing major construction on the main road so it can be noisy, but we did not hear anything in our room. The room was comfortable, and luckily the air conditioning worked. There is a nice little sitting area on the patio outside of the room but the room itself only had one chair at a desk. There are many places to sit outside, all nicely shaded. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We had dinner and breakfast here and both were very good. Breakfast was included, but the dinner was à la cart. We did use the pool and the water was a nice temperature, but there was a lot of pollen and dust floating on top of the water. We appreciated the airport shuttle service.
• 302lizo (10/5): A welcome respite when our flights were delayed - A beautiful resort with friendly helpful staff, delicious food and a great pool! The rooms are clean and the AC was a welcome addition. I would highly recommend.
• Jet35300919582 (10/5): A gem - A really lovely lodge, amazing staff (shout out to Betrim, Aslam and Husna). The rooms are spacious and I mean huge! They are neat, clean, come with some delicious fresh cookies, AC a HUGE walk in shower, massive bed and homey extra. The food is fresh hearty and tasty. A great place truly
• Sunshine12530814292 (10/5): Great lodging near Kilimanjaro airport - Surprisingly nice spacious and elegant lodge with high security walls and gate. Has airport shuttle vans. Nice large dining and lounge area. Expansive breakfast buffet with egg station. Clean large pool. Large room with bed mosquito netting - not needed. Modern bathroom. TV, wi-fi and cell disabled by government due to election violence. Great service and clean facilities. 15 minutes from Kilimanjaro airport. We hired $25 taxi at airport after 11:00 PM delayed landing. Roads under construction near airport, be prepared for dirt road driving.
• brendanrH1220IW (10/5): Fabulous stay - After our 10 day safari on the Serengeti, we spent our last two nights at the Kilimanjaro Planet Lodge. This is a peaceful oasis from some of the chaos outside,beautifully modern rooms, a nice pool and tropical gardens. The food was top notch, but what makes this place really special was the people who really understand service quality. We felt like the only guests here and staff were very attentive helpful and professional.
• N_Yates14 (10/5): Perfect stay - We stayed here 1 night, after our long international flight and before our flight to Seronera (Serengeti). I scheduled transfer to the hotel through the hotel and they were waiting right outside the arrivals door with a sign with my name. The driver drove us the 5 minutes to the hotel where we were met with welcome drinks and checked in. We were assisted to our room, which was clean and comfortable. For our transfer back to the airport, the driver was prompt and dropped us off with no issues. I would stay here again. Everything was clean and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
• 548thaisg (10/5): Nice stay in Kilimanjaro - Airport Plante Lodge is a very good way to begin your trip in Africa. Comfortable rooms, a spa for a massage and a good restaurant. Most important thing: the staff are very nice. I really liked my stay.
• jmckay125 (10/5): Eliminate the worry! - We spent the night before our flight home to Chicago here. It was perfect. We are always nervous the night before, wanting to be sure we have a ride to the airport, a good night’s sleep, and something good to eat before airport food. Airport Planet Lodge delivered on all three. Facilities were great, but even more important to us, was the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff. We would definitely recommend this lodge and would stay here again.
• sandradB8878TZ (8/5): In all it was a helpful stay as it’s close to the airport . Husnah was wonderful - Husnah was fabulous , so helpful , so happy , made the stay here really welcoming ! The trucks pounding along the road was a problem while having dinner and trying to relax in the pool area .. so loud and disturbing . If music was playing on the background this would help .
• Nomad668030 (10/5): Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Spa Experience! - Irene, was wonderful and provided excellent service. The spa was amazing—I had both a facial and a massage. Truly one of the best massages I’ve ever had!”
• I5950WBkathyk (10/5): The perfect place to land - An absolutely beautiful hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place to stay after a long flight or if you have a day before you go. There is a spa, a gift shop, and a pool. They will even do your laundry. The food is fresh and delicious
• Fearless46983429972 (10/5): Great stay near thr airport 🛫 - The service here is spectacular. The rooms spotless and clean. The food If you need a place to stay near the airport....its right here!!
• NMNLynn (10/5): Wonderful staff! - The staff is wonderful. We stayed here when we arrived and left Kilimanjaro. We were met at the airport and immediately taken to the lodge. The pool is so relaxing. Irene and Eric were so attentive. We love them!
• mariopT7044AM (10/5): No reason to go anywhere else! - Incredible staff ready to help for everything. They even remembered my name when I came back a few days later. Comfortable rooms, safe hotel, all you need really.
• Charleymack2 (10/5): Definitely Will Stay Here Again! - This was a very nice surprise! Due to flight changes, delays, lost bags, etc…. I had to spend the one night close to airport to allow my wife and luggage to catch up to me. I wasn’t expecting much, being so close to airport; however, now I wish I would have came in a few days earlier and enjoyed this lodge. The staff and management were absolutely outstanding and very friendly. Very laid back and tranquil.Just what I needed after a few days of travel. Special note to Everett, the bartender, he took very good care of me. But all the staff was great. And the breakfeast, with custom omelets, was excellent. Overall great experience. Next time will plan an extra day here to just unwind before the safari and/or hiking begins!
• marguerited985 (10/5): Great Massage - The massage by Hilda was one of the best I’ve ever had. She works magic with her hands! The rest of the Lodge was great. The swim refreshing, wait staff attentive, food tasty and room lovely. Asante Sana
• ChrisfromUS (10/5): Amazing Stay In Transit - Amazing stay for our family- provided a perfect oasis right near the airport. They have a beautiful pool, spa services, and a full service restaurant and bar. But the best part is definitely the staff; Eva at the front desk and Hushan and all of the restaurant staff were especially kind and helpful. It really made our stay special.
• keeganm726 (10/5): Awesome stop next to the airport - Super great stop between flights at JRO. Good internet, service and food. Nice pool and beautiful rooms. Would absolutely recu
• Sandya-and-Erik (10/5): Stunning place with some small attention points - Stunning place with large garden, good pool and excellent breakfast buffet (dinner less choice). Great service from most of the staff. Large rooms with garden balcony. Two small points to look out for: * Our bath tub did not work due to a missing plug, and they had none available. Hence if needed, check immediately and request another room if failing. * For paying with other currencies than USD, in case of credit cards not working (eg due to Internet breakdown), their policy seems to be 1 GBP/EUR = 1 USD. Crap, we proposed them a more decent rate
• Dave987911 (10/5): great stay at an airport hotel?! - Super friendly staff. The food was also very good. Rooms and restaurants were very clean. We definitely can recommend this hotel
• janehM4775NZ (10/5): More than just an airport hotel - Lovely hotel close to the airport, but definitely more than just an airport hotel! The staff are absolutely fantastic, so friendly and couldn’t do more for you. As we were on our honeymoon they arranged a candle lit dinner by the pool and pulled out the stops to make it special. A special mention to Tegamera who looked after us for our all day and couldn’t be more helpful. The dinner of African stew was also super tasty. Look out for the pet rabbits wondering around! Perfect last night before our flight out… thank you.
• nickifein (8/5): Great time at planet lodge - Had a great time at the lodge. Stayed here for two nights after arrival before meeting up with my safari group. I am a young g single female and felt very safe and comfortable. The food was good and the staff was excellent. So kind and attentive. They greeted me by name everywhere I went. The AC and WiFi also worked well.
• BoardingPass572975 (10/5): Comfortable and comforting stay - Great place to stay before or after your safari experience. Conveniently located, tasty food, comfortable beds and lovely staff.
• John (10/5): - 10 minutes from airport lovely grounds good food nice pool/bar set up super great staff
• Navigate29248301427 (10/5): Great Boutique Hotel - The staff were very gracious and made sure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The check in and check out were quick and easy.
• Navigator228931 (10/5): Wonderful oasis near Kilimanjaro airport - This charming and adorable hotel is conveniently located near the airport and is a perfect place to stay before or after a flight. It has a lovely garden that birds visit and you wake up to birdsong in the morning and can enjoy a delicious breakfast overlooking the flowers and plants. The staff is so warm and kind and we felt right at home.
• Jeffrey (10/5): - Staff was great
• 476paigep (10/5): A Warm Welcome Back — Even Better the Second Time! - I stayed at Airport Planet Lodge before my Kilimanjaro trek in 2024 and loved it so much that I had to return this year. I’m so glad I did. From the moment I arrived, I was touched that the staff remembered me — such a rare and wonderful feeling when traveling. The entire team is kind, professional, and warm. Special thanks to Irene, my waitress, who made me so happy with her thoughtful service, and to Yousef and Eva at the front desk, who were so welcoming. The manager here is exceptional!! There are many others whose names I can’t recall, but every staff member I encountered was exceptional. The lodge itself is comfortable and inviting. The rooms are spacious, the beds are wonderful, and the pool is a lovely bonus. The service throughout my stay was fabulous — attentive yet relaxed, exactly what you want before or after a big journey. Airport Planet Lodge is truly a gem. I looked forward to coming back, and now I know it will always be my first choice in Arusha. Highly recommended!
• jbmundlin (10/5): Perfect Stay - A great cap to a long East African journey. The spa was wonderful as well as room and restaurant service from Tegemea. Would highly recommend on the way into or out of Kilimanjaro to start or finish a journey.
• Ericavirginia (10/5): Much more than expected from an airport hotel! - Far exceeded our expectations! This place is more like a small resort near the airport than the hotel, equipped with a full service spa, restaurant, and bar. Really enjoyed the pool and beautiful gardens. The rooms are comfortable and have very relaxing patios. The staff at the hotel was so kind and made sure to celebrate our honeymoon with a special dinner setting and flowers in the room. Would definitely stay again!
• theshahmahal (10/5): Amazing staff, great food, quaint and convenient! - We arrived a bit later for a quick stopover before heading to Arusha for our safari. We’re so glad we did. They picked us up from the airport in a very timely and short shuttle ride. The lodge was adorable and clean, very quaint and accessible. The staff was beyond amazing, and the food was delicious! We could’ve spent another night or two here happily.
• PacoCozi (10/5): Perfect Stay - Airport Planet Lodge was the perfect place to stay prior to our safari and after our safari. Easy ride from the airport, free shuttle. The entire staff couldn't have been friendlier, warmer and hospitable. Serene surroundings, room was large, clean. Restaurant was great, one of my favorite meals of the week was here! Definitely recommend staying here to relax and just catch up after and prior to a long flight. It was the perfect place to start and end our Tanzanian adventure!
• Michino (6/5): - We booked 3 rooms but our room was the smallest with no bath tub although we all paid the same amount. We were a bit disappointed.
• 913wadef (10/5): Lovely - My husband and I stayed at the Lodge to finish off our amazing anniversary trip prior to our long flight home. It is such a beautiful and peaceful place. The staff here are all so welcoming. It literally was like a home away from home. The beds were perfection! I honestly have nothing but great things to say about this place. I would like to give a special mention of one of our waiters Tegemea. His attentiveness and anticipation of our needs and wants went beyond our expectations. I forgot to take down the name of the young lady who checked us in but also a gem, and Eva who kept checking in to make sure we were doing ok. Honestly such a great experience.
• lakshmanav2022 (10/5): En route Kilimanjaro - About 10 minutes from airport. the main road is under construction and our WIFI is dead for now! The staff was excellent. Husnah has very good interpersonal skills. I enjoyed Ngogwe na Bamia Nazi, a local dish.
• Loretta (10/5): - Great staff great food
• thenars (10/5): Asante Sana (Thank you) Planet Lodge - A great way to end a 3-week visit to Tanzania, especially if you're coming out of the bush from Safari or climbing Kili. We are spending night here at Planet Lodge, Airport (JRO) before our international flight in the morning. Planet Lodge is about 10km away from JRO. We were welcomed by our hotel host, Aisha and porters, Adam and Amos. Another attendant handed us a refreshing cool, wet towel, and a glass of hibiscus juice. Aisha received our passports to check us in and oriented us to Planet Lodge and Spa. There is a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, fitness center, and a full service spa (massage, manicure/pedicure services) We were escorted to our rooms by Adam and Aisha. The rooms are nicely appointed with a large double bed (or twin beds), air conditioning, and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. A great place to get cleaned up and rested before a long fight to your next travel destination. We had one minor issue (replace batteries in the AC remote). We called reception, and they sent Amos to take care of it. Shortly thereafter, Eva, the hotel manager, stopped by in person and addressed by name? to make sure it was resolved to our satisfaction. I took advantage of a getting a massage. I highly recommend a 90-minute deep tissue massage from Zam Zam. Or if you prefer a lighter Swedish or in the middle aromatherapy massage. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our server was Tegamae and was assisted by Irene. We had the grilled steak, vegetable curry, the house "Goats Do Roam" wine, and a Pina colada mocktail. It was all delicious. An unexpected surprise was the chocolate pudding dessert. It was quite tasty. They also had banana crumble and fresh fruit. Checking out is made easier by Rebecca at reception. They take most forms of currency (Tanzanian shillings, USD, Euro, and credit cards. There is, as of this writing, a 3% credit card fee added to your bill if paying by card). Asante sana to all the kind staff members I have omitted. They were all very friendly and welcoming. Yes, it is their jobs but they really seem happy to see you and welcome you. If you want to brighten your day, ask them to sing the Hakuna Matata song, by "Them Mushrooms." You can't help but smile. Even better, if you start off with "Jambo, jambo bwana...," I don't think they can't help but sing along with you. Asante Sana, Planet Lodge. Looking forward to our next visit! Narrie @TheNarSide
• HotStepha (10/5): Super comfortable, incredible service and great food - The most comfortable stay and the best service out of all of the hotels we stayed at on our trip. I'm not one to leave reviews, but I was in awe of the effort they made at every step.
• R1306MMlorim (10/5): Great Spa Experience - Hilda gave me a manicure and pedicure and she is fabulous Very gentle did a great job! She also does facials and massages! When you visit Planet Airport Lodge in Arusha- Ask for Hilda!
• 323binab (10/5): Excellent stay. - Excellent location, service, food choices, comfortable room and a very helpful staff. My husband and I were very satisfied on all counts.
• canadianwanderer87 (10/5): Amazing hotel to stay at after a long journey - I stayed here two nights after the long trip from Canada and it was a wonderful hotel to start my Tanzanian adventure. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the surroundings were beautiful and the restaurant was good. The real highlight of a stay here is the staff. Every single one of them was just so kind and friendly. I have nothing but praise for them. If you need a hotel near Kilimanjaro airport this is the place to stay.
• RachaelH1287 (10/5): Fantastic Stay! - Stayed at the Planet Lodge Airport prior to starting our safari. Everyone was so nice, friendly and helpful! The rooms were perfect with very comfortable beds. The food was delicious and the pool was super relaxing! I loved the walk around the lodge too! I highly recommend staying here before you start your adventure in Tanzania!
• O5749ZDpamelap (10/5): Will be back! - Comfortable bed, clean space, delicious breakfast, nice people, great location, protection from mosquitoes . Asante!
• nevena_popova (10/5): Nice place after a long flight - Nice place after a long flight. We spent only one night there. Although the name implies that the hotel is near the airport, we had at least 20 minutes drive from the airport to the lodge. We arrived early in the morning after a long flight. We had requested an early check in and that was possible. We had to wait an hour until the rooms were ready. Rooms were spacious - we had 2 interconnecting rooms and the kids had their own space. Rooms are huge and clean. We spent the day relaxing by the pool and relaxing in the beautiful gardens which were well maintained. Food was good - we had lunch, dinner and breakfast the next day there.
• Z6807BOheathers (8/5): Perfect stay near the airport. - Great place to stay before flying out. Staff was great, rooms, beds, shower and pool were perfect. They also provided a box breakfast to take with us. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the local fish dish was wonderful.
• Improving_everyday (10/5): Perfect option close to airport - This is the perfect hotel if you need a hotel close to the airport. We arrived during the night. The hotel organized a pick up from the airport that went smoothly. The room was great and the breakfast next morning was delicious. The garden of the hotel is well-maintained and nice. The staff is very friendly.
• Cheri609 (10/5): Not your typical Airport Hotel - We were so happy with our night at the Airport Planet Lodge. The service was outstanding, the rooms large and well appointed, the grounds beautiful. They provided a shuttle service to the airport and went out of their way to help us with our delayed flights. The dinner was excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. It is a destination in the Arusha area.
• Q8901EWsharonh (10/5): Amazing hotel/spa - A wonderful place to stay. Lovely rooms, the grounds are really nice,a pool is available and the spa has a large list of treatments. Tegemea was an amazing host/waiter who made sure that we were comfortable and had all of the information that we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to stay
• marconr21 (10/5): Great place for a finale to a long adventure - This was our final stop in a 2 week getaway in East Africa. The staff here were very professional, friendly, and accommodating. The facilities are modern and clean, and it's a very ideally located near the Kilimanjaro airport. You can even catch a glimpse of the mountain during good weather! Special thank you to Husnah from the dining team who was exceptionally friendly and personable, Aisha from the front desk for being so accommodating and patient, and Catherine the masseuse for her amazing work and kindness!
• Passenger721246 (10/5): Comfortable, convenient and welcoming - Conveniently located hotel a short drive from Kilimanjaro airport. The entire staff was welcoming and responsive to our needs. Kelvin and Tegemea, from the bar and restaurant respectively, provided excellent, prompt and friendly service.
• jayeeemut (10/5): Warm & Welcominf - Our stay at Airport Planet Lodge was great. The room was beautiful, spacious and updated. The food was delicious, we had yummy meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were warm, welcoming and very friendly! We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to our friends and family when traveling to the area!
• pjp_jwojcik (10/5): safari trip - Great stay! It was a short stay but everything was great. Very comfortable bed and a large room. Very clean. Good breakfast.
• S42QAmariau (10/5): Great stay! - Great location for airport transfers. Food was incredible. All the staff was really kind and welcoming. Very good quality overall.
• SebastianCortes93 (10/5): Excellent! - Excellent!! Staff was great and super helpful… bedroom was awesome with a very big bed… food was excellent! Would recommend 10/10
• Matthew (10/5): - We only stayed here one night, however, it was a beautiful and welcoming facility. The staff was more than attentive, there was a small walking trail around the perimeter and the food was amazing. There isn’t much to do in the surrounding vicinity, but its atmosphere and cleanliness would have made us stay longer if we could.
• Johannes (10/5): - I’ve sent three messages via Expedia to the Hotel that they haven’t responded to it. That’s the only blindspot in this bright mirror. Great hotel great place to stay.
• Hugh (10/5): - Wonderfull grounds and pleasant staff
• Sean (10/5): Very relaxing and comfortable - Very comfortable night’s stay after 10 days of safari before heading home.
• Dani (10/5): - The service here is above and beyond we felt welcomed from the moment we checked in. Rooms were so comfy and clean. Would recommend this to anyone needing an airport stay.
• Andrew (10/5): - Amazing experience overall. Honestly felt they were almost too helpful at times (not a complaint at all) just felt like a lazy person having people do everything for me haha
• John (10/5): - This property is great. 10 minutes from the KRO airport, free shuttle. food is very good , good bar and wonderful friendly staff. we got a free Swahili lesson and even took a cooking lesson with chefs in the kitchen. Wonderful pool with dedicated bar. as Arnold Swartznagger says, " I'll be bach!"
• Kathleen (8/5): - Just overnight stay before flight to camp. Good rest, comfortable and extremely friendly staff. Did not check out the property…no time
• Steve (10/5): - Easy, free transfer to/from airport: drivers efficient and extremely friendly and accommodating. Grounds are beautiful and room was quiet and very clean and spacious. We only had one night (partial) as we had a very early flight out. I wish we had booked this hotel for our stay prior our Kilimanjaro trek. It would have been much more comfortable than the more expensive resort hotel we booked in Arusha. If we come back, this is definitely where we will be staying.
• Tom (8/5): - Very good pick up service from airport, prebooked on hotel web site. Very friendly and helpful staff.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Safari Wind Down - We wanted to have a chance to relax a bit after our nine day safari and chose to stay here because it is close to the airport. You will be amazed by the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness, the delicious food, and the grounds, as the gardens are lovely. You will not be disappointed with choosing this hotel, they even have a nice pool and spa. The only cons were that there is no mini fridge in the room and the WiFi can be a little challenging.
• Tracey (10/5): - Felt very safe and private. Very peaceful. Staff all very kind and friendly.
• Allyson (10/5): - Beautiful property with exceptional staff, and comfortable accommodations that help you feel safe, valued, and ar ease.
• Arieyl (10/5): - I had a wonderful day at this hotel. Everyone was so welcoming from the staff. One of the staff members took me to my room, carry my luggage and also ensure that I was able to get room service to my room. They also have a complementary shuttle to the airport, which is amazing.

• eva1500 (10/5): Convient stay near airport JRO - Free airport shuttle, excellent, friendly and helpful staff always with a smile. Especially the lovely waitress Husnah. Good food, moderate prices. Clean rooms, big bathroom, very good beds. Nice terrace and gardens. Only missing are more storage room like closet or dresser and another chair or sitting possibilities. Guess no problem if staying just for 1 night as most guests. I stayed 4 nights with bad weather so was mostly in the room therefore...
