My teenage daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights, while on safari... and it was such luxury, I will remember it forever. The joy of swimming next to a herd of elephants or zebra,them at their watering hole and us in the infinity pool, is difficult to put in words. the sky at night while walking the boardwalk ....stars...

I can't imagine finding a more comfortable first class hotel in the middle of Serengeti National Park. Rooms are very comfortable. Food was terrific. Swimming Pool overlooks watering hole where you might see elephants come for an early morning drink.

Travel to a place where there is just nothing, apart from the animals and wildlife, and in the middle of this wilderness is the lodge, so luxury one can't believe it. And if one takes into account the place where it's located it's very hard to understand how they can maintain this standard. Hats of to the Bilila Lodge, thanks... More

Wow. What can I say about this place! The staff, service, and amenities of this place rivals that what you would expect at a 5 star resort in the Caribbean or Europe. I've been to 5 star accomodations across the US, Caribbean, and Europe and the Bilila Kempinsky matches or beats them on every facet. Take away the amazing safari... More

After February 2010 this is the second time we stayed @ Bilila. To summarize our stay there was quite agreeable. However it was not anymore so luxury as in 2010. Here some details: - in the entrance hall the tables have been quite dusty - our shower was not working properly - ok the fixed it after one call within... More

This place in the middle of the Serengeti is almost too good - makes you want to spend your days at the hotel enjoying its luxuriousness instead of out in the jeep enjoying the animals. We got a second floor room with a large balcony overlooking the Serengeti where we frequently saw and heard elephants, wildebeasts or cape buffalo walking... More

We stayed in a Terrace Suite at the Bilila Lodge and had an excellent experience. The room is expertly furnished and the views were incredible. The private plunge pool on the deck was a very nice touch. The resort itself is also very nice and the service is very good. The dinner buffet at night was also very good with... More

The lobby is beautiful. Welcome towel to clean after a daylong game drive and welcome drink was helpful. The rooms are beautiful with much space. We had a beautiful tub with a window view of the large grassland around with Impalas moving around. The Balcony was too good , enjoyed having our morning tea with a great view of the... More

I can't understand the complaints about service at this lodge. It seems they must have really improved things as we received excellent service throughout our two night stay. The food was also delicious. The rooms are indeed modern which was welcome after our long days in the car. I thought the design and decor was gorgeous. I am glad, though,... More

Brilliant. I'm finding it hard to understand the reviews complaining about staff and food....also, to the people who had money stolen...you were unlucky to have staff on duty who knew your safe codes !! We were there for three nights on Honeymoon after staying at a selection of different B&B's lodges and camps. I loved the luxury of it....after some... More
