It was a delight to see Shiela again, who provided a very warm welcome to our group. Upon seeing me, Shiela immediately asked me why I had not sent a message to the lodge to alert staff that that I was coming back again. During dinner, we once again enjoyed the all-singing, joyous birthday celebrations the staff perform as they approached people on other tables who were celebrating birthdays. Considering no one in our group was celebrating any special occasion, imagine our surprise when the staff presented us with a cake while serenading us with a song. Once the celebratory song was over, staff explained it was a 'welcome back' cake - which had been organised by Shiela and was greatly appreciated. It is this type of personal touch that makes our stay at Ngorongoro Serena memorable long after we have returned home, We were lucky to get clear skies on our second morning at the lodge - and hence enjoyed a magnificent sunrise from our balcony. We would like to than Shiela and all the other staff at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge for taking such good care of us and for leaving us with such happy memories about our stay and African safari adventure. ##### Pritha Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 29 May 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities A really good hotel. ##### Graham Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastian 20 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Outstanding view We had a great time.

Facilities, staff, food and services are all wonderful. We enjoyed our one night stay at the lodge in a room with a balcony overlooking the crater (actually a caldera). ##### Rahim Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pritha 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities From the moment we arrived, the customer service provided at the reception, in our room and dining area was exceptional. View from our room was absolutely stunning and I will never forget the incredible sunrise we were lucky to see during both mornings of our stay. As our party included two senior citizens with mobility issues, check-in staff gave us a room that was as close to the main entrance/dining area as possible. Since the restaurant is located on an upper level and requires climbing up a spiral staircase, Ngorongoro Serena's manager Erick made arrangements for us to sit on a table on the ground-floor level bar. This meant the two senior citizens were spared the challenge of climbing up the stairs. We really appreciate how Erick, Sheila at reception and all the other staff went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable and made a number of adjustments within the lodge to ensure my mum and aunt were comfortable. We also enjoyed the all-singing, all-dancing Serena birthday surprise I was given during dinner, which made it a very unique experience - even if it was two days before my actual birthday!! Due to the spread of the rooms, Wi-fi in room was not great. But this is to be expected in remote areas and it's a small price to pay for what was otherwise an incredible stay. Thank you to everyone at Serena Ngorongoro for the personal touch we were given and for making it such a memorable stay. ##### Pritha Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 7 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### Disappointing lounge with a high price The service at this expensive lounge is disappointing.

Das Hotel fällt durch seine besondere Bauweise auf. Überall Steine aussen angebracht. Der Service ist ausserordentlich gut. Beim Einchecken wurden unsere Begleiter zur Personalunterkunft verwiesen. Erst auf Nachdruck erhielten wir den zweiten schlüssel. Ein Entschuldigung erhielten wir nicht. ##### Biggi Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Herbert 26 Feb 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Luxus(preis)klasse Hotel Da wir zu Sonnenuntergang angereist sind und am nächsten Morgen bei Sonnenaufgang wieder (in die Ngorongoro Caldera) weiter gezogen sind, haben wir das Hotel nur zum Übernachten benötigt. Das Abendessen und das Frühstück waren ausgezeichnet. Letztendlich für die Buchung mitentscheidend war auch die Nähe zum Eingang des Ngorongoro-Schutzgebietes. Dafür ist dieses Hotel auch das teuerste meiner bisherigen Reisekarriere. Den Blick auf (einen Teil) des Ngrorongoro-Schutzgebietes lässt sich das Hotel gut bezahlen. Aber Safari ist eben Luxus und somit teuer ;-) ##### Herbert Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### pierre 25 Sept 2017 #### No service No game drive scheduled by the lodge, expensive for nothing ##### pierre Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 28 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AMAZING!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING place! Incredible views of the crater from all rooms. Nice bar, great restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Service top notch. Make sure you show them you have prepaid for your room, as they wanted to charge me twice initially.... ##### Sam Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### shanshan 5 Aug 2017 Disliked: Staff & service #### theft but cctv failed to record sly lodge manager The service in the lodge of resturant is cold and My prada eyewear and box got lost in restraunt when restaurant manager is preparing the table. while the cctvs did not founction well during the time of theft. The lodge manager Dismas simba did not say anything sorry and do not care if i post the experience to other places. i filed the case in local police. police is going to investigate and ask them why all the cctvs failed to work just during the time of theft. ##### shanshan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### silvia 21 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Meraviglioso Servizio 5 stelle...Hotel bellissimo con una vista spettacolare sul parco ngorongoro.

Everything perfect! The hotel is great, food is delicious and location amazing! You see the Crater from your room! It's an expensive hotel but to be on top of the Crater it's a great experience and worth! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s127-p224202a0-30fd-11e7-9fd9-4a2f1ca4fdf9-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanna Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2010 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great views Stayed here while on Safari after climbing Kilimanjaro and was very pleasantly surprised. Using the few words of Swahili I had learned made all the difference and as a result, the staff and service was great. Dining Room very busy but with a good attitude we had a great meal. Service good, food same as everywhere else and very pleasant and tasty. (One needs to remember where you are and not have huge expectations!) The view is spectacular and worth rising early for the sunrise! Rooms were clean and absolutely satisfactory. A pleasant stay and would return there anytime ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### john o 1 Jun 2024 ##### john o Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippe 6 Jan 2024 ##### Philippe Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joellen 15 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Joellen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Africa Safari Maasai Boma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Masai-Boma.h63061574.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > - [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > - [Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pearl-Beach-Resort-Zanzibar.h39193618.Hotel-Information) > - [LUX Marijani Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Marijani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h69923153.Hotel-Information) > - [Arusha Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Arusha-Safari-Lodge.h10018115.Hotel-Information) > - [Anantya Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Anantya.h95540769.Hotel-Information) > - [Kia Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Kia-Lodge.h1849013.Hotel-Information) > - [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > - [Meliá Serengeti Lodge Member of Meliá Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Melia-Serengeti-Lodge.h18410258.Hotel-Information) > - [Sensations Eco-Chic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pwani-Mchangani-Hotels-Pwani-Mchangani.h95985922.Hotel-Information) > - [Africa Safari South Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Africa-Safari-South-Serengeti.h83159715.Hotel-Information) > - [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > - [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > - [Manyara Lake View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Manyara-National-Park-Hotels-Manyara-Wildlife-Safari-Camp.h4857406.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > - [Africana Grand Hotel Arusha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arusha-Hotels-Africana-Grand-Hotel-Arusha.h18589271.Hotel-Information) > - [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > - [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > - [Nungwi Dreams by Mantis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Nungwi-Dreams.h19700686.Hotel-Information) > - [Mambo Ocean Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Mambo-Ocean-Resort.h91290625.Hotel-Information) > - [Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/NGORONGORO-MARERA-MOUNTAIN-VIEW-LODGE.h55015788.Hotel-Information) > - [Karatu Simba Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatu-Hotels-Karatu-Simba-Lodge.h21537856.Hotel-Information) > - [Farm of Dreams Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatu-Hotels-Farm-Of-Dreams-Lodge.h11806795.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > - [Antares Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Mani-Hotels-Antares-Villa.h95147597.Hotel-Information) > - [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > - [PILI PILI UHURU](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-PILI-PILI-UHURU.h76785042.Hotel-Information) > - [Highview Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatu-Hotels-Highview-Hotel.h22109001.Hotel-Information) ---
