Spacious, peaceful and views towards the Ngorogoro crater, located on the edge of Keratu.
Private dining through the services of a chef and waiter at a reasonable cost was fantastic, as we didn’t have a car and we’re only staying a couple of days, so had no desire to cook ourselves.
Unfortunately in number 2 house there is no mosquito net in the main bedroom, the windows don’t close properly and there are no mosquito screens on the windows. First time we had no mosquito net since being in the country.
In number 1 house the shower tray was broken and missies breeding from the space below where water was pooling.
I’m sure the property owner will remedy this issues and then it will be a wonderful relaxing place to stay.

It was nice to have coffe plants in front of our entrance door. The car was safe. Wifi was good.
The living room is huge, but the sleeping room quite small.

We liked the house very much.
It’s modern nice and a comfortable place to start the journey into the national parks

Great standalone house with kitchen and all facilities. My children think that it was the best house in all our trip. Since they have separate room, and a house had the second floor. Best place and not very expensive (comparing other option) in Karatu to have a night before going to Ngorongoro.
We arrived at night, and it was hard to find, since google maps and gps was not accurate enough. But it's everywhere in Tanzania.

We enjoyed our stay at this very quiet and comfortable place very much and even extanded it for some days. Perfect for day trips to lake manyara and ngorongoro national parks. Staff is very helpful and even arranged a laundry service for us.

4.5 / 5.0
Nice views out over to the crater in the distance.
Complimentary beers and drinks in the fridge was a nice touch. Kitchen well equipped and condiments were there including fresh coffee.
Very light - could do with curtains for balcony windows as kids sleeping on mezzanine woke up really early because of the light.
4.0 / 5.0
Location was excellent (though we were driving guess not so good if you are using public means); great views and really liked the design of the house.
The mossie net upstairs was not a good fit for the bed and the mossies were many- suggest to fumigate to keep them at bay.

we stayed in five stars Marriott hotel before coming in karatu area. then we still rated this place five stars. it has its charm. located in such a quiet, beautiful corner of the Town! the place is like in a paradise, small coffee farm in the property. outside has corn and sunflower field. mountain is in front! beautiful beautiful view. it’s not walkable to the town but hotel provides in house food ordering! you can just stay here enjoy the peaceful surrounding. the price for the food is good and food is good too. the staff are super super helpful! they are local people super nice! security guide is also polite and sweet. super safe also. and it’s only 30 minutes from the entrance of Ngorongoro park! it provides us to have more time to explorer in the park! bonus: so many beautiful birds are in the property! if you are a bird lover
nothing
4.5 / 5.0
very modern house, located a bit out of town - it primarily is geared at self-catering, which was not so clear to us
At check-in, there was some confusion on whether we had to cook or not, even though it is easy to organize food delivery by an affiliated cafe. This cost us a lot of time and money to in the end cook something horrible because of lack of ingredients/time for shopping. There is wifi, ut then you have to pay for it (buy data bundles), which seems a bit outdated.

The ambiance. Its clean. Its comfortable.
Ventilation especially the upstairs, it can get very hot. The upstairs needs wire mesh on the window s so one can open them to allow some fresh air.
