“Unfortunate Experience - Not Recommended”
−I booked this hotel for my guest on October 29, 2025, which happened to be Election Day in Tanzania. During that time, the government temporarily shut down internet access, making it impossible for my guest to pay the final balance on time. Unfortunately, the hotel took advantage of the situation and sold my guest’s booking to another company. This was a very disappointing and unprofessional experience , something I have never encountered before. I do not recommend this hotel, especially for those relying on them for both accommodation and tour organization. Tour consultants should be aware of this lodge’s unethical behavior.
