Perfect stay in & out! The lodge is so connected to the it’s surrounding nature and forest giving you a feeling you won’t forget. The staff made this stay extremely pleasant! Even though it got pretty cold, the staff were agile to get me wood for the fire chimney. They were extremely flexible with my checkin check out times. They stored my bag before I left for the mountain and gave it back to me when I got back. I highly recommend this lodge.
The normal room have windows that don’t close, therefore it got super cold and no heating was available the room. However, after complaining to the staff, they were extremely helpful and upgraded me to the bigger room at no extra charges! If the weather is good, I will 100% go back here!

Managed with care and attention to detail. Fantastic service. Beautifully decorated and peaceful outdoor areas with great views.
It is some distance from Moshi and private transport is expensive.

This place is lovely! I stayed before and after my kilimanjaro climb. When I came the second time, the staff remembered my name and welcomed. They even gave me an upgrade to one of the lofts. Wow. This was amazing. The view from the balcony is just stunning. Breakfast and Dinner were also amazing. Highly recommend to stay here!

Our honeymoon stay at the hotel in Moshi was absolutely magical. We were upgraded to the best room available and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. From separate romantic dinners to a bed decorated with flowers and a complimentary bottle of champagne, every detail was taken care of to ensure our experience was truly special. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a romantic getaway in Moshi.

Lovely garden. Nice patio with views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Nice breakfast.
The staff was overly friendly. It didn't feel sincere at all. Even though a lovely accomodation we didn't feel very welcome.

location - view of Mt. Kilimanjaro, in the middle od the forest, food was ok
when we came to the property there was no power, no internet or very weak, failure, we got a room next to the power generator so we asked to move us, they partiáy solved the problem, because it was just a room few meters further
