The food was very good too. The only issue we faced at the time was construction going on around the pool area, so we couldn’t use that. And the internet was not available in the room for the evening, had to go to the lobby and use it. Other than that we had an amazing stay, and Alan the assistant manager was always available to make sure we had everything we need.

It's quiet, comfortable and the property is absolutely gorgeous. Provides a relaxing stay and a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of Arusha. We flew into Kilimanjaro airport and the lodge arranged our shuttle ride (for extra). It took about 80 minutes to get to the lodge given new speeding laws that were recently put into place but overall it was an easy process. The staff took extra care with our room since this was the start of our honeymoon and we really enjoyed our time there. From there we headed to a safari in the Serengti but we arranged to have some laundry ready for our return which it was. Staff was always open and accommodating when we needed it including a later departure time from the hotel. WiFi is a bit spotty (as in most properties in Tanzania from what I've seen), but works well in the lobby and restaurant. Great stay even for a short period. ##### Jonathon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CK, Bangkok 9 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very friendly staff.

Lots of great birdlife. 5% extra is charged if you use a credit card. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Birgit 23 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schöne, kleine Anlage, gerne wieder Wir waren für 2 Nächte in dieser Lodge und haben von dort aus den Arusha NP besucht. Eine wunderschöne, kleine Anlage, sehr aufmerksames und hilfsbereites Personal. Tolles Essen, abends in Buffetform. Wir hatten zwischendurch Probleme mit dem Strom, der mehrfach ausfiel, aber das kann man der Anlage nicht anlasten. Es wurden schnell Laternen gebracht, in den Zimmern stehen Taschenlampen parat. Der Pool ist herrlich. Und wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt. Drum herum ist nicht so viel, aber da wir einen Fahrer hatten war das kein Problem. ##### Birgit ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 12 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Absolutely beautiful grounds which are very well kept. Property is very quiet and peaceful. Villas are huge and the king bed was very comfortable. Staff were polite and helpful and the service was very quick. Breakfast was okay and Internet was not always great. Lovely pool. ##### Susan ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet, beautiful gardens and great pool! After 5 days of safari this was a great place to finish the trip and relax! The breakfast, included in the room rate, was excellent. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Guy, Israel 5 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nice place Very nice property with a lovely garden. The rooms are clean, very big and has a nice private balcony.The food is pretty basic but quite good. The service is very good, nice and helpful staff. Located quite far from the center of Arusha so if you need to run errands you will need to get to the city center by transport. ##### Guy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ms Avrill, Ireland 20 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our stay at the Planet Lodge was exceptional, the staff were all most helpful and welcoming, they did over and above to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Lovely helpful and cheerful staff, we wish them all well, and many thanks for a memorable stay at Planet Lodge. ##### Ms Avrill ### 8/10 Good #### John, Boston, MA, USA 12 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable, reasonably priced place to stay Hotel staff was wonderful and responsive. Although it's a bit off the beaten path, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. You can't walk to dowtown Arusha but they did provide a shuttle that went downtown at 10am and picked you up at 4pm. Hot water was at times not sufficient for two peaple to take hot showers. Food was reasonable and the wait staff were friendly and cheerful! ##### John ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Reef & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Reef-Beach-Resort.h6643793.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Gold-Zanzibar-Beach-House-Spa.h5388856.Hotel-Information) > > [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > > [TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Toa-Hotel-Spa.h75012943.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Baraza-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h10042688.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Pongwe Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Pongwe-Beach-Hotel.h8057383.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiwengwa Bungalow Boutique Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Kiwengwa-Bungalow-Boutique-Resort.h19332541.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Kena Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Kena-Beach-Hotel.h4544228.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Cliff Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangapwani-Hotels-Sea-Cliff-Resort-Spa.h978691.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [ Safaya Luxury Villas (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Safaya-Luxury-Villas.h91433919.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Mapenzi Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Diamonds-Mapenzi-Beach-All-Inclusive.h4532521.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiwengwa Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Kiwengwa-Beach-Resort.h11888909.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Ocean-Paradise-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h4235502.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) ---
