The staff was very friendly and helpful! The property was just what a rustic African lodge should be! I was there during dry season and I am sure the property is beautiful and green during and after rains! So convenient to the airport! Just a fun, friendly place! Food was very good also!

Convenient - it’s physically inside the airport gates. Check out was at 10:00. If your flight is in the evening they have you check out and store your bags at reception; you can remain on the grounds by the pool or in the restaurant or bar while waiting. The gift shop is great if you’ve not been able to find a souvenir for someone before departing.

Great airport lodge!!

We loved Kia Lodge! It is not your average airport hotel - the grounds are beautiful and the rooms are really nice. The staff was super friendly and the food was good. Only issue was that there was no wifi in the rooms. Other than that our stay was great. Would definitely recommend!

Great quiet location

Very easy checkin and beautiful property. There was no way to contact the hotel to organize for the free shuttle. It is a 5min drive. None of the posted numbers work and there are no email addresses. It would be nice for the hotel to offer free shuttles if hotels.com is going to post that service on the booking site. Thanks!

Good airport stop

Very convenient location - located right at the airport. Great service and free transfer to the hotel at all times. The grounds are nice but rooms are a little tired. The restaurant is OK but is very overpriced. All staff were excellent.

KIA Lodge Review

The check in was very quick. The rooms were comfortable, beds good, excellent A/C. Good shower, plenty of hot water. The cottages are in the middle of a wooded area - that was great. Good view of Mt.Kilamanjaro if you see it right around sun up. The food was good. Free ride to JRO airport which is not even a mile away. Staff was friendly and helpful.
