    Great place to relax after Kilimanjaro climb and a few days in the safari

    Unfortunately, the WiFi coverage does not reach the room in the garden far from the lobby/main area. No big deal, though.

    An amazing place to relax after Kili and safari. The guy in charge of the hotel (apologies, didn't get his name) was attentive, polite, and resourceful. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were exceptional.

    I was unfortunately (almost ) the only guest.

    (technical) things that are not oke are repaired quickly. My toilet had a small problem and they gave me another (bigger room immediately. There was a small problem with the cold water supply and the next day the water pipes were dug out and the problem was solved. Apart from that , the staff are really nice and attentive.

    The location turned out to be quite some km from Moshi town, so walking wasn’t an option. The personel however could arrange transport pretty quickly each time.

    Really nice personel, always wanting to assist when we had questions. Just a happy comfortable place to stay.

    Unfortunately we just had one fan for a big room with three beds. And the prices for the laundry were a bit high.

    Liked it a lot! Very friendly staff and great place to relax after the Kilimanjaro hike!

    Staff could definitely sold more drink to us, they tended to give too much privacy at mealtimes and as such, we had to go to look for them to reorder drinks.

    Food was great, staff helpful and happy. Location was stunning and relaxing, activities were enjoyed. Everything we needed for a relaxing break.

    The music at night time could be quite loud and would go on for too long. The service in the restaurant was a bit slow and arriving at breakfast an hour into the slot, would sometimes be disappointed at what was left to offer.

    The location was good, the hotel/lodges were clean and tidy, the grounds were colourful, the pool was excellent, rooms were good and with their own cosy outdoor space. Time floated here, just what was needed. Appreciated the stay and would return / recommend.

    On the first day there was no water at all in the morning, it was fixed later. For the rest there was nothing that we did not like, except but that was not Honey Badger fault, the view on the Kilimanjaro was missing because of clouds.

    Fantastic location. The room was very spacious as was the whole area of Honey Badger, the lobby, the pool, the restaurant. We had to leave early and left with a nice breakfast bag, great service. We liked it so much that we booked the place for the return drive as well and we had the same experience again.

    the activities they offer are expensive and not worth what they cost. i did a one day hikking tour on kilimanjaro and the guide arrived drunk, he could barely walk, i was traveling alone so that made me feel unsafe on the mountain, the manager kindly apologized but they didn't nothing about it or discounted the price of the activity, after tremendous scam

    amazing facilities, with turtles and monkeys that live in the hotel and give it an even more rustic touch

    We stayed in the Honey Badger Lodge for 4 nights and we absolutely loved it. The staff are amazing and took great care of us! The food was delicious! We had a lovely time at the pool, watching monkeys run around the trees near the lodge. We also availed of massages at the spa which were amazing.

    Overall this was a really lovely stay and a good option to relax following the mountain climb/safari

    The hotel offers outside guests use of the pool so it can get a little crowded during the day. The laundry service is also very expensive $1 per item. They also charge a card fee of 5%. Obviously the lodge is quite out of town which was fine for us but if you want to be central, dont stay here. The surrounding villages are also very loud playing music most of the time.

    Our room was very large and extremely comfortable, we stayed in a family sized room. The pool and dining area are also lovely and they offer massage services. The menu was extensive and food was nice.

    Rooms were not cleaned daily and no kettle facilities in the room, very dim lighting in the room but each room does have a little porch with outside chairs 5% extra charge to pay by card - wasn’t a problem- just nice to know in advance A little eiry if you’re the only guests but soon picked up for our second night there

    Quiet place set back from the main road Velvet monkeys and turtles on site Clean room and well organised shuttle service We stayed on site but some did excursions to waterfalls and Kilimanjaro in the day

    The bungalow’s roof leaked after heavy rainfall and attracted insects - I highly recommend staying in one of the regular rooms :)

    The bedrooms were just stunning, the bathroom was so modern and stylish with lovely shower gels and toiletries. So many animals (baby turtles!!). Beautiful pool with lots of space to relax and lounge. The breakfast was delicious and the Kilimanjaro grilled chicken is spectacular

    shame that there was no light over or near the bathroom mirror (Room 03) as made it difficult to use, otherwise a lovely room.

    Very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Loved the bungalow style accommodation and watching the tortoises very young and old was enjoyable to very time we passed them
