Joyce is SO nice and the grounds are immaculate. We booked Sangota Falls Lodge for a rest night before leaving the next day after being on Safari. The lodge's grounds are quiet and peaceful. The plants are so pretty and well taken care of. We booked meals with Joyce and they were very good. She used fresh strawberries from the gardens for parts of it! I would definitely stay at Sangota again and can confidently say it was a peaceful oasis from the noise and business of the city.
There was a problem with the hot water at one point (it is primarily wood fired and for some reason wasn't flowing to our cabin). The staff was very quick to help us and ultimately switched to the backup electrical heating, which worked fine.

A real true experience to stay with a local family. Support them please! And their food is just more than good! Fresh juices..fresh fruit...very flavourful creative main meals.
Do not go here if you expect a luxury lodge. Go here for an experience!

Joyce and her family were absolutely fabulous. They came to the rescue after another lodge had cancelled on us upon check in.
We had to make a last minute booking at 9pm to have a place to sleep for then ight, and Joyce welcomed us with open arms. She even prepared a very delicious dinner for us.
The rooms were stylish and memorable, and all rooms had hot water. The property looked very beautiful - a nice big yard with the views of the jungle. There is also a very sweet pup.
We are hoping to return to Songota Falls Lodge again in the future, and we highly recommend it to all travelers.
Everything was awesome

The lodge is a tranquil place, real Polé Polé! An ideal place to spend a few days prior or after your safari.
The hosts Joyce and Raymond are very welcoming and kind. They have built a little paradise over the years. Make sure to try out their home cooked dinners with a view.

Disappointing
Location
No booking.com directions to location. Very difficult to access at night. Joining instructions incomplete. Google directions wrong. Problems accepting Google booking.

Beautiful grounds with fruits and vegetables growing around. Very cosy lodge, comfortable and equipped with what you need. The owner Joyce and her son are very kind and will help you enjoy your stay - the food is incredible and having the option to be driven directly into town/to the airport is great.
The only negative when I stayed was there was a nearby party with very loud music which made it less peaceful, but not the fault of the property at all and it seemed like a special occasion. I guess being earplugs just in case

So much nicer than the photos! The bungalows are very comfy and actually have a lot of light. The gardens are very beautiful. It feels quite authentic. The home-cooked meals are delicious and our host was able to help cater for my partner's vegetarian needs. They also arrange short hikes to waterfalls nearby at a fairly reasonable price.
Make sure you don't follow Google Maps if you're coming from the airport side... There are some very difficult roads for low clearance vehicles. Ask the hosts for their recommended routes

very particular lodge with a great view from the restaurant. the rooms are very nicely furnished and the hot water is reliable! if you come from a safari or you are going to start one, it’s a good place where to rest and have a relaxing evening!
the restaurant is very tasty and with a stunning view!
if you need to go to the airport the location could be a bit far compared to other hotels in Arusha (around 25 min), but the Lodge provides a very reliable transfer whenever you need, so there is no risk to loose your flight :-)

We arrived after a safari, just what we needed! Joyce and her family are perfect hosts, food was amazing. We went on a hike with her son, who also arranged Mataruni trip at a good price. The place is cut off, but that's what we were looking for. We also managed a day of work online, connection held up quite well.
We liked all of it. It's cut off, so may not be for everyone. It was perfect for us...

I loved the host Joyce Ma’am. She is a wonderful human being. She cooks really good food!We reached late. So was not able to enjoy the view. But it’s a very good place for the price.
