amazing room, everything was super clean, bed was comfy, the sourrounding was pretty, service and staff were outstanding! overall amazing stay 10/10

Clean & comfortable - the rooms were spacious with large beds and we loved the balconies with a stunning view over the garden and mountains. everything was very clean, there was soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes if needed in the bathroom too. In particular the staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed chatting to 2 of the guys around the campfire after dinner and learning a little Swahili from them. Food was good, nothing too ambitious (or local), chicken sandwich for lunch and chicken/beef rolls for dinner - it was tasty and well presented, but we would have been very happy to try some local traditional foods if this had been an option.

There wasn’t much wrong, we really enjoyed our stay, and it seemed very fair for the price - we didn’t have the budget for anything super luxurious and this was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for.

Everything from the ambiance to the staff being quite helpful and friendly. Also noticed that the staff always make an effort to check on you and are ready to help. For sure going back again.

Nothing

It was just amazing. A peacefull Place to recharge and rest. The rooms are very well designed with many charming details. The Staff is very helpfull!

This is the perfect place to stay outside of Arusha when you’re looking for a quiet and beautiful oasis before or after your safari. The staff is so attentive and friendly and the food was excellent! The rooms are beautiful ne have stylish decor.

Everything’s perfect!

Cozy spacious lodge not far from Arusha airport. Everything was perfect, room, food and service overall. Great attention to detail. In example upon arrival hot water kettle in the room was filled with water. So just a matter of switching "on" when wanting to make hot drinks. Comfortable large bed and balcony.

Nice invest place. Kodus to owner. Very good coustomer approach and freindly. Good food!

The view, the staff, the lodge, the campfire

Costs not clear ex ante (e.g. pick-up from airport)

wonderful homemade food, quiet location in the village, beautiful views and 100% relax from everything.

The place is beautiful, stylish, well decorated, the stuff is really kind, good was tasty They let us choose between the rooms when we arrived

The only thing that was missing to my opinion is mosquito net for the windows, there was a good one for the bed, but we couldn't open the windows Oh and the doors were hard to open and close

The view was exceptional

Very beautiful place, romantic, with nice staff, good food and a spacious room for a good price. Definitely recommended if you want to relax before or after your safari's in between Arusha and the other parks.

There was a rooster that kept crowing during during the night, but that's just nature

We felt extremely taken care of by the staff, they really put in the extra effort. Great overal experience.

Amazing place, everything was fanstastic with a great welcoming and an excellent dinner!

Everything was great

We stayed here three nights altogether, pre and after a safari trip. We were the only guests and received a lot of attention. As has been noted, the Lodge is fairly new and is just building up again after Covid. The room we stayed in had a great view of the garden and Mt Meru in the distance - even a distant view of Kilimanjaro one evening. The gardens were a delight, clearly a labour of love of the owners, and we spent a lot of time bird-watching. The food was good, without being spectacular. However, the coffee was spectacular! The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the young man who waited on us and looked after our needs was very attentive and charming. Hedgehogs are pretty rare in Africa in my experience but they have one here!

Just one thing that we could and should have raised while we were there. The bathroom sink taps, rather oddly heavy industrial type, didn't work. We were shown a "trick" to get them going but they never worked for us. The wonderful sunsets on the balcony are accompanied by distant road noise but Tanzania is a busy country and it's hard to find quiet, except in the middle of the Serengeti, and even there the lions and hippos keep you awake.

Great stay with wonderful hosts and really excellent food. Blandina was very helpful in helping us do a day trip to Arusha National Park, and we really enjoyed interacting with all the staff. Room was beautiful and well kept, and the property was very peaceful. Thanks for the great stay!

the only issue we could find was finding it(although this is very common in Tanzania). Once inside it is a beautiful little oasis and the greeting was warm and welcoming. Large room, very comfortable bed, looks amazing (lodge and the facilities around!). Kettle with tea/coffee and water provided (not common) bathroom and shower with great hot water and pressure. In the evening we met more of the family and spent a lovely evening by the fire. Dinner was lovely and beautifully prepared. We had an early check out and they had no problem getting up at 5am to make sure we had coffee (french press and fresh milk) and breakfast. Highly recomend staying here. Lunch box also was better then in other places. We stayed in other lounges in Tanzania (more expensive ones!) and this one is still our favourite one. Amazing value for money.

An amazing place with a so friendly staff, nice room with view to mount Meru, bar, fireplace and nice food

If you want to stay in a calm, peaceful and relaxing place after your safari then this is the place for you. Hotel staff is very kind caring. During my 2 1/2 weeks stay in Tanzania, this hotel provided the best customer service. In the morning you would wake by listening to beautiful birds songs. You will have a clear view of mount Meru in back drop of the hotel. Garden is well maintained. Owner of the Hotel Blandina was incredibly help for one of the charity work I did there. Mishek and Kepora was always around me showing birds and surroundings. Staff of this hotel did their best to provide me a better service. They have a restaurant too. This hotel not only visit by tourists but also by over 30 species of beautiful birds. Garden of this hotel well maintained. I had the whole hotel to me during my stay as I was the only guest. I so love this place hence I created this video of the hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kPg6qVFRcg

The property was FAB! Such an amazing little oasis where you can totally relax! The food was brilliant and the Staff were just incredible. I would 1000% recommend this place! I would love to go back.

Everything about this stay was just perfect. After budget camping accomodation on our safari trip we enjoyed this lovely place even more. The bedroom and bathroom are beautifully arranged and the balcony has a wonderful view of the garden and Mt Meru. We were warmly welcomed and treated as if we were special guests. The food was delicious and all of our wishes were more than just satisfied. In the evening, we had a long talk at a camp fire with Kepora, one of the employees, and learned a lot about Tanzanian people and culture.

Nothing!
