"Arusha Coffee Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2021
"We were only there a short time, however, they accommodated an early arrival on my part and were available to still offer a meal when my wife arrived late that evening.

Very tastefully decorated room.

They also managed to recognize that my wife left her bathroom bag in the room and brought it to us (at a run) prior to us departing on our safari." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania

"Arusha Coffee Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 31 Jul 2021
"A really luxurious stopover for those poised to transfer to a camp somewhere in distant Tanzania.

The dark wood bungalows are both beautiful and comfortable. Each has its own private deck.

The grounds are a working coffee plantation, which is at once attractive and intriguing. (The tour of the plantation is a pleasant little diversion.) The food and service are of sufficiently high quality that locals come in just for meals (especially brunch).

A very pleasant place that we'd be happy to visit again." See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania; 12n in Zimbabwe

"Good jumping point"

1 night Arrived 17 Jun 2019
"Although we were here under 24 hours it was a nice stay and a wonderful lodge. We had one small issue with the dinner as they didn't honour our half board and charged for dinner.

However, Expert Africa was prompt to resolve the issue and refund the full amount - no questions asked!" See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania

"Not worth the value"

1 night Arrived 10 Oct 2016
"Our room itself was very nice, but lacking in privacy and the staff needed more training. Everyone was just gauging for tips and it was very uncomfortable. We had three persons taking our luggage, which we thought could have been done by one person with a cart. We tipped everyone and thanked them for the service. Then one of them came back unsolicitedly to give us towels and water (which we already had in the room), left dirty footprints all around the room, and asked for more tips.

Every staff that walked by our room would look into our room (probably out of curiosity). Because the landscape was so sparse, we didn't feel like we had any privacy and had to keep the curtains down most of the time. Aside from the manager who greeted us professionally when we arrived, it was a fairly uncomfortable stay and not at all worth the price tag.

We had a much more enjoyable time staying at the Rivertrees Country Inn on our last night in Arusha." See all these reviews: 6n in Tanzania; 2n in Zimbabwe
