"The hotel rooms were a good size, very clean, well serviced, but quality of the sheets was not good, as on the five nights that we did stay overall on our holiday, we found holes in the bottom sheet on two occasions. The staff were very friendly and helpful and it was no problem for them to address any concerns, they acted immediately to remedy situations. The manager was a lovely person who went out of her way to meet our comfort needs. Location of the hotel was in an out of the way location, one felt you could not go out for a meal as there was no local restaurants nearby. Meals at the hotel were generally tasty but buffet breakfast items were frequently lukewarm, almost cold. This hotel might be ok for a one or two nights stay especially for groups which are there for conferences or heading off for a safari, but a longer stay as we did, we wouldn't recommend as there is nothing to see or do in the vicinity. You would have to have tours organised each day. "

" Very nice place to spend our last night in Africa. Excellent accommodations and staff."

"Nice hotel in Arusha with a pool and a decent restaurant. Rooms and property were clean and well-kept, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"We loved our stay at Rivertrees before our safari! Such a beautiful property, and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Would definitely recommend."

"Very pleasant and helpful staff"

"Our stay was amazing. Lucie and staff made sure we were well looked after each night we stayed between our Safari and trek. Rooms are a great size, clean and comfortable. Food and service was amazing. The location is a little remote, but this is the appeal, quiet and the surroundings are perfect to sit back and relax. Thanks for a great stay!"

"Great service and nice property with lots of greenery and views"

"Very clean and excellent"

"The views of Mt Meru and the surrounding bush country were magnificent. The grounds include banana, papaya, mango, pineapple and avocado plants/trees, all of which enhance the experience. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. All speak English. We loved the food so much my wife wanted to bring the chef home (joking of course, but high praise). The lodge staff were trained as part of a program to provide a good livelihood to local residents who otherwise would have limited opportunities. While the lodge is remote (not in Arusha city), it is close to Arusha National Park, and lodge staff will provide driving tours (for extra cost), which is well worth it."
