"The location of this lodge is amazing, offering a serene setting to enjoy the wildlife of Tanzania when not on safari. The lodge sits on the edge of a marsh and gave us multiple terrace options (including a private one attached to our room) to do some bird watching. While there , we saw the African fish eagle and Black-and-white cascade hornbill, songbirds too many to count, along with some visiting Vervet monkeys. The staff were among the most attentive and friendly that we have experienced and...

"Yes there is a bumpy 15 minute ride from the main road but the pay off is a tranquil environment to relax at Kili Villa. Our room had a lovely outlook to the gardens where local fauna and birds did their thing. The staff were welcoming and courteous, and the food was delicious. Perhaps the experience could have been improved with better communication about food and drink options when we arrived (with an explanation card). There are no other options for F&B in the area (aside from the golf club)...

"A brief one night stop due to very early plane arrival. Lady on front of house was brilliant- coffee and local sweet pastries at 3am! Rooms are huge with warm showers in ours. Other rooms couldn’t get the showers right - but that might have been us. Bed is huge - mattress is firm (good for me). Simple but very nice breakfast on the terrace - including freshly cooked eggs. Although it’s just off the main road it’s quite quiet. Very relaxed about checkout as we arrived so late. If you want a good...

Top Ngurdoto Crater Hotel Reviews

Kia Lodge

8/10 Good

"The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are ok, not luxury. In some rooms WiFi is very weak. Don’t get the $25 dinner at the restaurant. It was the worst dinner on our whole trip."

Four Points By Sheraton Arusha, The Arusha Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"They supplied a guide to show us around the area. He took us to the markets, historical sites, and it was very much appreciated"

Kili Seasons Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible Staff greeted us after a long travel day. After flying from Denver we landed to find out our accommodations previously booked were no longer available. Kili Seasons Hotel saved the day and we were able to transfer our booking to their hotel and they even arranged a shuttle from the airport for us. After a long passport control line on top of an already big travel day, arriving at Kili Seasons to warm and friendly staff made the day feel worth it. We were offered hot vegetable soup (sooo delicious) and a spacious clean room that had us smiling as we went to bed. All of the staff were so helpful the next morning in scheduling a shuttle to our next hotel, helping us with bags, and making sure our relaxing morning was perfect. Breakfast was yummy and the staff are all eager to help make sure you have a wonderful stay, highly recommend this place!"

Rivertrees Country Inn

8/10 Good

"The RiverTrees property is beautiful.The rooms in the farm house were lovely and tastefully decorated. The staff was very friendly and aimed to please. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this hotel."

Airport Planet Lodge at Kilimanjaro Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Les lieux sont superbes, bien entretenus et propre. Le site est calme. Nous sommes arrivées à 21:00 à l’aéroport et une navette nous attendait. Le restaurant a pris soin de nous préparer à manger malgré notre arrivée tardive. Le personnel est souriant et attentionné."

Mount Meru Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s just amazing."

karibu la kossa

10/10 Excellent

"With such a low daily cost, I was worried it would be minimal. But to my pleasant surprise, the room I was given was very modern looking. It had its own bathroom, and plugs for charging along with strong WiFi. Nice comfortable queen sized bed and a bunk bed. Deborah and her husband were very attentive hosts. They arranged transportation to the airport for me. The meals were low priced, tasty and plentiful. The compound has a basketball court as advertised. There were also fruit trees and flowers scattered about. I was there for a week to get over the flu and it was perfect. The one drawback was the loss of electricity every other day for a few hours, but if you keep your phone charged up, it is not an issue."

Moyoni Airport Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This experience far exceeded my expectations. My stay at Moyoni was due to a long layover in Kilimanjaro. The hospitality shown by staff, the high quality food in the restaurant and my room, with its stunning view, made the whole stay unforgettable. Highly recommended."

Lake Duluti Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and general property. Staff were all friendly and accomodating. They make excellent coffee"
