Super nice place close to the airport! People were super kind and it was nice to spend some time in the lounge having a drink before heading to the airport.

Brilliant hotel. Slightly expensive but possibly because booked last minute. Lovely grounds around the rooms and good breakfast.

I visited Airport Planet lodge twice in a 2 week time frame. The visits were amazing! The private and secure accommodations were so nice and relaxing. I stayed here prior to and after a Kilimanjaro hike. Both rooms that I stayed in were well appointed and comfortable. The restaurant for all 3 meal periods was great! Good quality and service, by Usnah, David and Kelvin! It was nice to relax by the pool and also the lounge area close to the bar. I took advantage of the laundry service after my hike to get nice clean and fresh clothes to take home. Front desk staff, Eva and Julian, were very accommodating. The transport from/to the airport was much appreciated and it was only 10-15 minutes to the lodge. I slept very well on both stays... Cannot recommend this lodge enough!

I stayed one night here, after doing Safari and Zanzibar. I needed some downtime to lounge around before my flight home, and this hotel was perfect for it. Within 5 minutes of checking in, I signed up for a relaxing massage onsite. I also needed help tracking down my lost luggage during a connecting flight. The staff called Swissport and the airline, and helped me track my luggage down within the same day. I highly recommend this hotel for those who need some lounging time before (to get ready for upcoming Safari adventure) or those who need some relaxing down time before heading home.

This place is amazing mainly because the staff are amazing. The lodges and accommodation are great and food is varied with traditional samples on the menu. But the staff and home from home feel really make it special. We had such an amazing warm welcome from everyone. Thank you so much. Highly recommend. We are here now and looking forward to coming back before we finish our holiday.

Both service and amenities were excellent. I highly recommend this as a starting point. The grounds are very pretty. The lodging is included, clean, spacious rooms, a comfortable bed and extremely large shower. Service staff was extremely kind, friendly and attentive.

What a beautiful place. My friend and i stayed for three nights. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are friendly and professional and the food and rooms are great. There is an affordable gift shop that has some great pieces and a walking trail around the property. We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to anyone.

We stopped here for a night on the way to our safari destination, as it was a short (~15 min) drive from Kilimanjaro airport. The grounds were attractive and well-kept. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked well-maintained and inviting. Sadly, we didn’t have time to use the available spa services either. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The wall-mounted AC unit got the room cool within a few minutes. The beds are equipped with a surrounding mosquito net, though we didn’t really have any issues with bugs in our rooms or on the grounds (early June). There is a large outdoor patio dining/bar area which was very welcoming for dining and drinks. Our dinner was well-prepared and tasty, though I would have liked to see some more items that explored the local cuisine. Breakfast was buffet-style, with a nice selection of fruits, pastries, hot items, and an omelette station. The highlight of the stay was the staff who were universally friendly, conscientious, and helpful.

The staff is so lively and friendly. I loved interacting with them. The breakfast crepes were delicious, the gardens were beautiful, and the rooms were some of the most comfortable I’ve been to in Tanzania with a great air conditioner. Highly recommended!

Great place to end our magical time in Tanzania. We had a very warm welcome by Eva. The grounds are beautiful with a lot of trees and plants. We had everything we needed in our room. The service was kind and attentive. It is very close to the JRO airport. The food was good but nothing extraordinary.

Good hotel, nice spacious rooms with comfortable beds but above all, very friendly staff! Very close to the airport and the staff was nice enough to let us check out a few hours later for our evening flight since they had the availability. I recommend it if you’re in the Kilimanjaro area
