The staff was absolutely amazing! Super friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond with everything… teaching us about the area, took us for a walk to the school the lodge is building in the village, practicing Swahili with us. The property is so lush.

Really nice vibe. The rooms are a good size. A couple of good area to relax in the garden compound. Note, is located in a traditional village just outside of town. This is a plus but you need to have your own transport or take a taxi there

The location of Ngorongoro Corridor is very ideal for tourist visiting many national parks. We visited Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater and the lodge was equi distant from both places. The staff were very courteous and the service was great. We had breakfast and dinner at the lodge during our three day stay. They oacked us lunch when we visited national parks. The food was prepared as per our request (we are vegetarians) and it was very delicious.

    The rooms were simple, yet there was all we needed to have a comfortable stay, in particular nice hot water to shower. The location is great if you want to get to Ngorongoro, lake Eyasi, and more. The staff was very nice and helpful and the food was very good.

    We were amongst the first clients of this new hotel and we can only recommend it! It is overlooking the countryside in a very peaceful area. Perfect stop before heading to Ngorongoro, Serengeti parks or Lake Manyara. Rooms are very large and have very high ceilings. The staff is very friendly. The food is amazing. Wine menu and drinks menu was rich and affordable.

    The most accommodating people you would ever meet. The hotel isn't perfect. It's a budget hotel. But the owners and staff will do anything within their power to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The meals were home-cooked and for a good price you'll get a 3 course dinner and an excellent breakfast. We stayed for a week and would stay again any time
