So glad I booked this hotel for my last night. It is a new hotel, it feels new and very modern. The staff were great, one was particularly outstanding with a Can Do attitude. The pool was great. I think the tour company they use is overpriced. The food was good, the medium white wine was more like a desert... More

Just got back from a Kili climb with Good Earth Tours and stayed at Planet Lodge. The facility was really nice and the staff were incredible. The food we had was excellent and my only complaint was that I had to leave and come back to work! I strongly recommend PL and GE tours. I am looking at a return... More

Stayed here one night before safari. Chose it because of the swimmingpool, which was very nice after a long flight from Europe. The rooms were nice and clean. Food in restaurant, was not the best, but ok. Quite far away from the center of Arusha, so choose this place if you just want to relax at the hotel, as we... More

We stayed here before and after our Kilimanjaro climb and safari in December 2011. The hotel accommodation was booked as part of our package with Good Earth tours, which is affiliated with the hotel. We ended up staying an extra night and the rate we were offered then was one third less than the standard rate, so excellent value. Although... More

Planet Lodge met all our needs for the start of our Tanzania Safari. The night we arrived, after a long flight, Lodge Manager welcomed us in such a wonderful manner. Our room was lovely and the bed so comfortable. Breakfast was buffet (as they had a large group that night) and consisted of anything your heart desired! Attention to detail... More

Very nice new lodge outside Arusha, just off the Old Moshi Road. The rooms are nice size and have small porches, great mosquito nets, and good hot water. Our room had a fan that was nice on the hot nights. The wireless internet was not working, they did not know the password...but hotel manager was great about letting me borrow... More

My fiance and I spent three nights at Planet Lodge before and after our Safari. The property exceeded to our expectations. The service was excellent and people were all friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. The restaurant was magnificent with good option of food to choose from. It felt like home away from home.

Planet Lodge was our home base during our safari and Kilimanjaro climb. It is a new hotel with very modern and sleek design. The website's pictures are 100% accurate. It is a bit far away from town (requires a cab ride), so we never ventured into Arusha. We didn't really need to. The restaurant was great although a bit pricey... More
