I have stayed at Outpost many times. The location is slightly outside town, but easy access. It is quieter than most areas of town. The pool is like ice but nice to sit on the edge of and watch other people freeze. Beds are comfortable, staff are wonderful and many have been here a long time, the restaurant has nice food and is a nice place to sit and work, there is quick laundry service (same day if early enough), pretty much everything is wonderful. I forgot my laundry last visit and they held it for a week for me. The gardens are beautiful and the property charming. Coming here is really like coming home for me. It is a great place for everyone except those who want to be centrally located in town.

The only things I give a very slight markdown on (not enough to affect my rating) is that some of the rooms are in very good condition (windows work smoothly, etc), but others have some things that need fixing, like lever windows not closing, curtain rods not staying put. The other thing is that rooms close to reception may receive wifi signal, but those farther away do not. These inconveniences are usually pretty minor unless I need to use wifi at night.

Quiet, green oasis in a residential area outside the center. We loved the LUSH garden with wonderful old trees. Good breakfast included. Large room on the ground floor with a lovely little, shady terrace. The restaurant is surprisingly cheap and serves delicious food and cappuccino!

Lady at reception was a bit indifferent, but this was no problem for us :-) Room and bathroom not especially cosy - door didn't close. But thanks to the little terrace in front and the great restaurant, we would stay here again anyway.

Vi really enjoyed hanging around by the pool and taking a swim every day. I would recommend the place especially to families with kids. Great personall and good food. Close to the city centre.

The facility is situated just over a wall by a trafficated road with some noice and air pollution.

the location, the staff, the gardens, the atmosphere

it’s good but rooms are worn off and in need of update, mainly of its equipment (beds, windows, mosquito nets (they don’t work), bathrooms furniture, accessories etc) without loosing its character.

Lovely property with lots of natural, lush vegetation. Nice pool with plenty of shade. Convenient restaurant with excellent coffee/espresso drinks and pretty good food. Friendly staff. Excellent bargain, given the price! Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town!

Wifi only available in common areas.

Well located. Rooms really clean and comfortable.comfortable lounge areas and a bar. But it was the staff who made it such a special stay. They were all so kind and friendly and went out of their way to offer any assistance. Even organised some day trips with an excellent guide. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing

We had a great stay at Outpost Lodge. The garden was my favorite thing there - so exotic and green. The room was nice! I especially loved the pool area. We had dinner at the restaurant every night - the food was delicious and the portions are so big 😊 Staff was friendly :) Thank you!

The room was pretty noisy, we heard everything what was going on in the room next door :(

the dining area is beautiful and a lovely place to work. Staff are very friendly, gardens are gorgeous. Bed was comfortable in both rooms I stayed in. I love the scents of the provided bath gel and little local soap provided. Food is good, and there is a selection of drinks, but the menu could use a few more items. they do have gluten-free/dairy-free options, and can cook an omelette kn a pan away from bread in the morning. The property is secure and safe. I will definitely stay again. Good for individuals, couples and famlies.

The restaurant was good. The food tested good with very reasonable prices. The breakfast box prepared for us due to our early trip was very good.

The safe box did not work in our room. The staff promised to fix it but he did not keep his word. Until we left, we could not use the safe box. No one came to fix it.

Safe location, good security, comfortable bed with mosquito net, friendly staff, nice garden.

The rooms could do with re-painting, the swimming pool was dirty with leaves and bugs floating in it. Overall this was one of the cheaper options in Arusha so the standard was expected
