    The shower tiles and grout could use a little work but for the price, I'm not complaining at all.

    The staff was so kind. The family style meals were so delicious. I loved dinner. The pool was nice but we didn't have enough time to swim as it rained in the morning. The beds and room were comfortable. The hotel is near the entrance to Ngorongoro Conservation Area so it's pretty convenient to stop there on the way into or out of the park. The hotel supports a farm and local school which I love. One of the staff was a former student of the school -- she was very sweet. They also clean your bags- I was shocked by how dusty everything got on safari. I would definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful property, tucked away from central Karatu town. Car required to get to town. Great place to stay for a safari tour to Ngorongoro, Tarangire & Manyara. Good water pressure and breakfast. Dinner options were varied every day and they cooked traditional corn Ugali with greens and curry one evening on request. The staff was super awesome and they even baked a cake to celebrate a surprise birthday party!

    We had a fantastic experience at this beautiful Farm Lodge. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The vegetarian dinner was outstanding – one of the best we’ve ever had! Breakfast was also delicious and offered a great variety. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable. Overall, it was a perfect stay.

    No apologies for the lack of water in the morning to shower. My daughter was woken early by other guest’s alarm clocks going off in the main house, as there seems to be little sound proofing there

    We opted for a second brief stay at this lovely guesthouse en route from the Serengeti and were upgraded to a room in the bungalow, which we were grateful for, as we enjoyed the wonderful views from the patio. Dinner was delicious, however, breakfast was a little chaotic. Despite being slightly late as we had to wait for the water to come on to be able to shower and being asked what time we would like breakfast, we were not expected and had to lay our own table.

    A green oasis

    After a long and dusty journey to Karatu, this guest house seemed like a little oasis. We were warmly welcomed by Olivia and the staff with juice before being shown to our rooms. We stayed in the bungalow outside, with a beautiful view of the garden especially sunset. Dinner was excellent, as was breakfast the next morning. We ordered packed lunches, which were substantial for our needs during a long day on safari. Olivia also organised for our laundry to be done.

    I personally would have like a bit bigger portions for dinner. Especially after long day of safari and got back hungry. 😁

    Great place. Outside town. Supporting local community. Great room. Good food. Nice people.

    Staffs are super friendly and their foods are simple but very good! All vegetables and fruits are from their own organic farm, and they taste stong and tasty.They are highly eco-conscious, which gave me a nice feeling. All solar-powered. It's not gorgeous, but they provide what you need. Yumiko Japan

    Staff - Olivia and all other staff members were amazing. They were always ready help. Accommodation - Both houses are very well maintained, spacious and comfortable. The long dinning table fitted our entire family of 16 people. Swimming pool - very clean and there is greenery all around. Very beautiful.
