The hotel is lovely and well situated. Beautiful location. Only downside was the cost and our wake up call being 10 minutes late and no coffee coming!

The Wifi is practically non functioning. Wifi is only available in the lobby and even in that location it barely functions. The wifi worked better out on safari. The menu is the same all day long. The breakfast buffet is excellent.

Very disappointed

My friend and I stayed here for two days and we were beyond disappointed. The hotel is very overpriced and the services and food provided are subpar. Food and drinks are priced quite high for the region and the quality was very unimpressive. The beds are very hard and uncomfortable and there is no AC in the room! It was very hard to sleep due to the high heat and humidity in the room at night. We have stayed in 3 other mid-budget hotels this trip and all of them had in room AC units. WiFi never worked anywhere around the hotel, pool or restaurant which was very frustrating given the cost of the stay. The hotel staff and management were not accommodating with the check in process and it took us over 45 minutes to get our room ready. At check out we asked for a delayed check out for a couple hours due to our flight departure and they said no. The hotel had 6 guest including us with accommodation for over 75. They made no attempts to be welcoming or helpful to our group. After hiking Kilimanjaro and Safari we were looking forward to the spa the hotel marketed to us and it was awful. I have received pedicures in many countries and have never been so disappointed. It was a complete joke! Not to mention all of the spa services were significantly overpriced. My toddler could have given me a better pedicure. Some of these thing may have been acceptable, however, at over $250 a night for a simple room I expected I much nicer and luxurious experience.

Lodge mit schönem Garten und Pool ausserhalb von Arusha, in die Jahre gekommen und entspricht nicht dem Preis Leistungs Verhältniss. Leider waren die Bette nicht frisch angezogen worden was wir erst beim zu Bett gehen bemerkt haben und am nächsten Tag dem Manager gemeldet haben sowie auch die Tischdecken im Restaurant waren sehr dreckig.

Disappointing Switch

We’d reserved two rooms - one for my husband and me, one for my adult son and daughter-in-law. Upon arriving, the front desk said we would instead have a double room suite. Claimed it was more spacious, and attractive. I objected, to no avail, as I imagine they’d booked all the other rooms. We were quite disappointed wit the accommodations, which provided large ( unappealing) common space but limited space in one of the private rooms. We felt duped. While the dining staff was attentive, the food was mediocre. Overall, the experience was not worth the significant price of this lodging!
