Generally very good but...

Great location (for one or more nights) en route to/from Serengeti and Ngorogoro, just 30 mins drive from entrance to the latter. In the opposite direction are the Taragine and Lake Manyara National Parks, both about 1.00-1.25 hours’ drive away. Situated in well-maintained and secure grounds, the individual rooms/lodges are generally of a high standard and quiet. Staff were exceptionally attentive. Food was buffet style - ok but no more than average. Live entertainment (local dancers & acrobats) early evening a must-watch. Overall, ‘not cheap’ but compared to other nearby luxury hotels, probably good value. However, a few minor niggles (e.g. no shade poolside as the one in situ broken, little storage space in the room, even no toilet brush in the bathroom!) which should not be there for the price charged

From the moment we passed thru the front gate, we were welcomed and pampered. Such a beautiful lodge, both the grounds and the rooms. The food was delicious. Definitely the place to stay in Karatu!!

mooi uitziende lodge met leeg zwembad + koud water

Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk ontvangen. Wij waren de enigste gasten en zo zag het er ook uit. De tuin was niet onderhouden en het zwembad zag er leeg en desolaat uit. Jammer want van opzet is het een mooie logde met mooie gegroepeerde huisjes. Echter zonder warm water. We kregen van de manager een ander huisje voor te gaan douchen echter ook weer zonder warm water. De accommodatie was een tijd gesloten geweest en dat was ook te zien. Het personeel was vriendelijk en probeerde hun best te doen. Echter voor € 265 voor 1 nacht mag je meer verwachten.

2度と行かないかな…

閑散期だったからか、暑いのにプールに水もなし、停電なのに発電機をなかなか回してくれない、回してくれたと思ったら夜10時にはストップ、暗くてシャワーも浴びれなかった。少し高くてもンゴロンゴロ内のホテルの方がしっかりしてるかも。
