Next day no water so no shower. Food was OK we both got traveler's diarrhea from this place. We asked for our money back.
Not up to the standards of a 5 star resort." See all these reviews: 9n in Tanzania

There as some noise intrusion sitting on the main terrace on the Saturday from the swimming pool construction being undertaken, otherwise you couldn't fault the place.
We looked at things on our own rather than join the myriad activities organised on the farm, and had a fantastic day trip to Lake Manyara GP for which Gibbs is well-located (25 minutes away). Animal sightings noted below are for our trip to LMNP." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania

"Good stay for the crater"
The grounds are beautiful and the food is 90% homegrown with safe drinkable water so this is a major ease of mind. The rooms are very large but good use some attention. Food is very fresh and very good. It is about an hours from the crater but wasn't an issue since we left at 5:45am and beat the crowds.
If you don't want to deal with a windy roads down to the crater, there are nice camps closer but at a higher price." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania
"Delightful Gibb's Farm"
The main house has a bar, inside and outside seating, a small, well-stocked shop, and various activities and options for day trips. And the food - terrific - and all from their own or local sources. Service was attentive and friendly. We took a farm tour and sat and stared at the coffee plantations, the African rift valley hills and the vegetation. A perfect spot to get your bearings and head up to the Ngorongoro crater.
I could easily have stayed another day doing absolutely nothing!" See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar
