“Disappointingly overpriced! Will not book with them again.”
+View of the mountain
−Overpriced. Basic meals and drinks charged at nearly x4 the price. Staff is inexperienced and does not know what hospitality is.

“Waking up to Kilimanjaro”
+We loved the view, the design of the Rooms and the lush garden, as well as the services of guiding they are offering. Food offerings are good, but pitty we could not taste local food well done and served in the premises
−Door to the bathroom noisy and not fully closing, and the restaurant ergonomics a bit complex.

+Kaliwa lodge is 1hr from airport & Mt Kili walking points. You must arrange transport with lodge to go anywhere as the lodge is very isolated. Located amongst banana plantation down a very bumpy dirt road. Lodge is surrounded by walls and is secure. The lodge has a garden courtyard with rooms around yard. Large deck overlooking a green valley and Mt Kilimanjaro. Room & ensuite is functional with adequate space. Dated modern decor, large netted comfy bed, good hot water & WiFi. Dinner was good & had breakfast box. Staff are great. Birds at night & early morning can be a nuisance for light sleepers. Dinner & drinks at reasonable prices.

“Fantastischer Aufenthalt mit Ausblick”
+Unser Aufenthalt war fantastisch: die Lage und der Ausblick einfach nur WOW! Die Zimmer sind geschmacksvoll, super bequem, das Essen 10/10 und das Personal hilfsbereit, mega freundlich und sehr sehr nett (u.a. Diana, Omari, Justina). Wir haben auch die sehr freundliche Besitzerfamilie kennengelernt. Vielen Dank für alles - wir kommen wieder!
−nichts (nur vielleicht zu kurzer Aufenthalt :-))

“Lodge mit moderner Architektur in einmaliger (Berg -) Umgebung.”
+Gutes, einfaches Frühstück mit sehr gutem Arabica-Kaffee aus der (grossen) french-press Kanne. Auswahl Restaurant-Zelt (wenn feucht) od. sensationelles Holzdeck/Terrasse mit frontalem "Kili-Blick" (wenn Wetter mitspielt)
−Momentane Bauarbeiten (dafür gibts einen Pool)
