"Airport Planet Lodge review"
1 night Arrived 11 Oct 2022
"We stayed at Airport Planet Lodge for an evening while waiting for an early-morning flight out of Kilimanjaro Airport.
Great location, only 10-15 minutes from the airport with views of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the way.
Perfect place for a quick night at the start or end of your safari or Kilimanjaro hike!" See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"Airport Planet Lodge review"
1 night Arrived 6 Aug 2022
"Clean, comfortable.
Noisy exhaust fan.
Ongoing issues with charging of apple devices - fast charges won’t charge, only USB to lightening.
Charging issue only relevant to Australian devices it would seem." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Handy for the international airport"
0 night Arrived 10 Nov 2020
"This is really handy for arriving or heading back home from Kilimanjaro airport as it is only 10 minutes away.
The hotel collects you and delivers you back. We had a day room and a lovely surprise was an arrangement of petals on the bed saying Happy Anniversary. The rooms are modern, well appointed and with a private verandah. The food is limited but good. Staff as everywhere very friendly and helpful.
We were the only guests." See all these reviews: 16n in Tanzania

"Great place for short stay"
1 night Arrived 11 Feb 2020
"The Planet Lodge is only 10 minutes for Kilimanjaro Airport and thus a great place to spend a few hours before our long night flight.
The air-conditioned room was spacious ,with an excellent large walk-in shower and external balcony looking out over well kept
gardens.
We looked in vain for a hair drier but apart from that we had all we needed.
Lunch in the restaurant was simple and ok
There is a small curio shop but those at the airport offer a much bigger range of choice." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"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."

"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."
