WORST TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE
I urge americans to steer clear of this place. This stay was something out of a horror movie. I booked and paid on hotels.com in which the owner claimed her never got. Allowed me to “stay” as a courtesy but literally hounded me around the property for proof of payment. Upon checkout, my safari company received an eerie call 2 hours later in which the safari guide told me that the hotel needed me to go to ARUSHA to show proof of payment!! Imagine being in the middle of africa and having to go to an office in the middle of a foreign city to show a receipt that I knew they had. My safari company made it seem as if the hotel was not going to let me leave town without showing them. Safari company had to derail the tour (I was with 6 other people) to go inside an office located on the 3rd floor in some shoddy area where the “accountant” pretty much tried to shake me down and asked “So what are we going to do Ms.Knight) as if she wanted me to pay some ransom money to be left alone. I let her know in some nice words Im not some stupid american and you can’t extort me. NEVER AGAIN will I stay with this company. This ordeal left a sour taste FOREVER. Owner still has not responded months later. The people that work in the hotel (chef, porters, etc) are nice but the accommodations were not comfortable (bed felt like concrete, no hot water and the owner is a SCAMMER). Beware!!!

The lodge is very run down and cannot be 4 stars at all. It’s a shame because it has an amazing location but it’s not a clean and comfortable stay at all.

Great location
Great location only minutes away from the Seronera airstrip. Rooms are nice but bathrooms could use a refresh. The hotel is built into the rocks which is very beautiful. Nice dining room with good food. Lunch was cheap at only $4.

Schöne Lodge, aber miserabel gemanaged
Sehr schönes altes Hotel, freundliche Mitarbeiter. Obwohl 3 Monate vorher über Hotel.com gebucht wusste niemand von unserer Anreise, wir konnten um 16:00 nicht ins Zimmer da nicht fertig, ich musste nachweisen dass ich bereits gezahlt hatte, Bademäntel wurden nicht zur Verfügung gestellt. Mit Abstand ungepflegtester Pool mit braunem dreckigem Wasser (und wir hatten auch BilligUnterkünfte), Strom und WLAN nur zu bestimmten Zeiten (Nachmittags, nach 24 h gab es weder Strom noch WLAN). An der Bar/Abendessen musste man bar ohne Quittung bezahlen. Essen war entteuschend bis auf Nachtisch, Salat, auf Kantinenniveau. LunchBox statt Mittagessen wurde nicht wie bestellt bereitgestellt.

Déçue des chambres
Tres Beau cadre de l’hôtel mais les chambres sont à refaire L’isolation est nulle , l’état des chambres vieilles L’électricité est coupée vers 22h et aucune wifi dans la chambre Pour le prix des chambres les prestations ne sont pas justifié

Dear Guests thanks for your comments,Regarding the electricity we do give the prior information about cutting off time and also we allow the guests to add up the cost of electricity if they want for full time. In view of WIFI it all depends on the electricity so it will be on during the time generator is running. Our services are improving and we will make sure everything will be in a good manner.

Accommodation in the park is very expensive. Please take the apportioned park fees in to account. However, if you stay in the park, this place is recommended with an awesome view, very friendly staff, spotless and an real Africa Safari feeling. Recommend
