More like a youth hostel for old people

Good location

Very old and run down. Needs urgent renovation. Food ok, but always buffet, nothing à la card. Feels like a Mensa.

Beautiful property.

We booked two rooms. The rooms had a lot of space and a sitting room. Felt very fancy. Bottled water available for drinking or brushing teeth. Dinner dancing/singing. Nice breakfast with many choices.

It's one of the more expensive lodges to choose from. Dinner is not a buffet so does take a bit longer to get through - which when you arrive late and wake up early does not allow you much time to enjoy the property.

Great location comfortable.

Great location. Rooms were a bit warm at night and there is no aircon or fans. This was in the cooler season so not sure about in the hotter months. Staff were superb, but food was average.

If you don’t want bats in your room, sweat all night due to lack of AC and get scammed - pls avoid

Warm and friendly staff. From our personal experience, it’s much better to stay in Arusha and visit Tarangire as a day trip rather than staying overnight in Tarangire. There aren’t many animals to see apart from elephants, and one day is more than enough to experience the park. We stayed two nights, which felt excessive for what the park offers

Avoid at all costs. Serious safety, comfort, and scam issues. This hotel has two major problems: bats in the rooms and no AC. 1) Bats in the room - we had 3 (yes, three!) small bats flying inside our room and asked to relocate to another room late in the evening, which was an unpleasant experience. 2) No AC in all rooms / unbearable heat. The hotel will offer fans, but they are completely useless because the rooms are designed with no proper air circulation. During the day, it is unbearably hot - staying inside feels like a sauna. Even at night, when the outside temp. becomes cooler, the rooms remain extremely hot. Sleeping is nearly impossible. Also there are no phones in the rooms, so if something goes wrong (like bats flying around), you cannot call reception. Instead, you are forced to walk outside at night to the reception desk to ask for help. 3) Refund issues and misleading behaviour. After the bat incident, we wanted to check out one day early and requested a refund. We came to the reception desk at 6am, but the manager told us they could not process a refund because the booking was made via Booking.com, and that they won't get approval from Booking.com. This is a lie - refund approval depends on the hotel, not Booking.com. Then we were told the reservation team needed approval from senior mgt. We followed up multiple times but never received a response, and couldn't check out that day. When we escalated the issue to Booking.com, the hotel responded by saying that we "chose to stay the second night and participated in game drives activities” therefore making us ineligible for a refund. This is misleading: We only stayed because we were waiting for written confirmation (since 6am!) that the second night would be refunded (which we never received) and wanted to avoid checking out without clarity. The game drive was booked separately with another company and has nothing to do with hotel.
