We stayed here before starting our safari and had a great experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed with fresh juice. The driver was waiting at the airport, even though our flight was delayed, which we really appreciated. One of the best parts was having food options available on-site, which was perfect since we arrived in the late afternoon and didn’t feel like going out. Food was very good.

Everything was ok.

Great hotel, amazing value for money. The staff was very friendly and willing to accommodate us. I had a problem with my backpack and they immediately helped me. I thank them for that so much! The breakfast was very nice, simple but we were very full after. The room was clean and the bathroom quite spacious. The mattress was comfortable and there were no mosquitoes in the room. The driver took us to the airport and was very nice along the way.

Budget friendly accommodation at Arusha . Host Humphrey and Chef Rajabu were very accommodating and kind to us. Humphrey personally came to drop us at the Arusha airport for our early morning flight and also arranged few local transfers . Chef Rajabu was kind enough to take note of my kid's eating preferences.

Breakfast was excellent. We had dinner in the evening and was very good. Humphrey the Manager was excellent and very helpful. Could do with updating but overall was clean and adequate.

Location was not the best and was out of town but for one night stay it was not an issue. Our driver cautioned us about not travelling at night in the area.

The host is a perfect gentleman and couldn’t do enough to help. The breakfast was lovely and the room comfortable. The drive off the main road has you wondering about your choice, but fear not, Giraffe Lodge is an oasis. The local sounds around of kids playing, leaves you feeling like you are part of the village.

The power was off but the lodge has a generator for the evenings.

The owner and the staff were amazing and super sweet! They offered a free pick up from the airport, and despite the fact that our flight was early by 30 mins and I could not warn them, when we landed they were already there waiting for us. They also cooked dinner for us and everything was delicious

Nothing really, great value for money

The staff are very friendly, we got lost and the owner came for us and took us back 😊. The food is delicious, breakfast is very good too. The shower is giving, comfortable beds and the environment is serene.

Nothing, although a shower curtain would be great.

The lodge was very clean, upon arrival we were given hot towels and fresh juice. the rooms were cozy and clean. The staff was super nice and helpful. They picked us up at the international airport and helped us get around the town. We did pay for this service, of course. The food was delicious, we had 2 breakfast and a dinner. Highly recommend this place. We arrived early for our safari trip and got to experience local hospitality at its best.

Perfect place to stay for a night before or after going on Safari and very good value for the low price. There is also a small restaurant and a bar which serves good food. The rooms have mosquito nets, well functioning WiFi and warm water. ALSO: We had to catch an early flight and had to leave for the airport at 4:45am. The hotel's own shuttle service (the manager is the driver) took us there with pleasure.
