"We had a great stay at lilac hideaway but the thing that stood out most are the way they stepped up to help guests with travel plans
We rented a dud 4x4 and it would not start after we checked in - but Eli jumped in an d organized mechanics to come and then drove with us to take the car to the mechanics once they had gotten a new battery in. The car had no brake or transmission fluids and an corroded alternator wire - Eli stayed at the mechanic while we got some food next door

We stayed for 2 nights in July. Anantya Serengeti was so well maintained and clean. The hotel was situated in a beautiful location, which encouraged animals to roam the grounds. The first night, we encountered two buffalos. The second night, a family of thirty over elephants walked infront of our room. The bedrooms were spaced out to give privacy.
The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, however the packed lunches were not good.
One incident marred our stay, where the rangers had set...

Patumu Hotel is well-located near the entrance to Ngorongoro Crater National Park. The hotel is simple with clean rooms and comfortable beds, but a bit dimly lit. The hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful in directing me to local services. There was ample parking and a restaurant.

Absolutely the best hotel Iāve stayed at. I spend generally half the year in hotels for business and this is hands down one of the best Iāve ever stayed at. The rooms are large, spacious, and luxurious, but itās the friendly staff that make this lodge/hotel truly a great establishment. I generally donāt leave reviews but this hotel went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were looking for a place to buy some groceries and they escorted us there so we didn't get lost. The food was awesome. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great nights sleep.

Just an outstanding experience. The people were incredible, great service. My family of 4 loved the family tent. The grounds had Lions (3) hanging out right at entrance and wildlife overall was amazing around Ndutu, right there by camp. Highest recommendation.

We had a beautiful stay at Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge. The staff was wonderful and very kind, especially Jumo. A portion of the money from your stay goes to the children's home located next to the hotel, which you are able to visit while staying there. The area and view around the hotel are beautiful, however there is a bumpy uphill road to reach the hotel. The dining room is a beautiful space as well and we had a wonderful meal there!
