"First Stop"

1 night Arrived 29 Jan 2020
"This is my second time staying at Airport Planet Lodge.

It is a welcome spot to rest from a long flight. Their hospitality is much appreciated as is their willingness to make a light meal late in the evening.

The rooms are clean, comfortable and the surroundings quiet to ensure a good nights sleep." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"A quick stay after a long flight"

1 night Arrived 13 Sep 2019
"We were so happy to find the Airport Planet Lodge located so close to the airport after our long flights from the US.

We enjoyed a late dinner and a great sleep before leaving the next morning to begin our safari. The staff was gracious and welcoming, and the pool and fitness room would have been wonderful if we had time to enjoy them.

It was a great place to begin our travels." See all these reviews: 15n in Tanzania

"This was just a few-hour stopover for us between flights but the Airport Planet Lodge did everything right - they were there for the pick-up, the shower facilities were fine, the dinner that we had there was decent and the drop-off seamless." See all these reviews: 17n in Tanzania

"Fine place"

1 night Arrived 27 Jul 2019
"We used Airport Planet Lodge to get through jet lag. In retrospect we should have gone directly to Rivertrees, a much nicer place with ore to see and do. No knock on Airport Planet. The room was fine, people were great, food was fine. Just nothing really to do there." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 2n in Rwanda

"Comfortable and close to airport"

1 night Arrived 20 Jul 2019
"This lodge is very close to the airport and is perfectly comfortable.

The grounds are pretty and the service was very good.

There wasn't anything extraordinary about the place and I wouldn't stay there other than the fact that it's close to the airport — but as a place to stay that is convenient to the Kilimanjaro airport it's great." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania

"Airport Planet Lodge review"

0 night Arrived 4 Oct 2018
"I wasn't certain about the need for this 'day stay' - a few hours in a hotel room between flights, but it worked extremely well. It gave me an opportunity to shower and refresh, having come from the very dusty Serengeti, before heading back to Nairobi. By comparison, sitting at the airport would have been a bad option! I had a tasty light lunch, recommended by the waiter, and all was smooth and straight forward." See all these reviews: 5n in Rwanda; 4n in Tanzania

"Luxury at Airport Planet Lounge Kilimanjaro"

1 night Arrived 23 Feb 2018
"I stayed at the Airport Planet Lodge at Kilimanjaro, and that was absolutely the lap of luxury - I wish I could have spend another couple of days there.

Amazing welcome, fantastic service, great room with air con, scrumptious food in the restaurant .... and the bar does a mean margarita, too!" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania
