    For the price, the amenities were a bit lacking (e.g. a pool, even a small one, would really have uplifted the experience. Restaurant atmosphere a bit lacking and though the food was good, again pricey (as was the 50 USD taxi to JRO airport).

    Stunning deck with views on Kili. interesting little oasis with eyecatching architecture in a quaint environment. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

    What I enjoyed the most was the excellent service from manager Justina and driver-guide Oliver - both of them made my stay truly enjoyable and memorable, and I thank them both very much for that. Location is excellent for trips around the area and also due to the garden platform with view to Kilimanjaro. Excellent food - I especially enjoyed the wonderful juices of local fruits. Very nice with the fire place lit at dinner time. I was impressed with the very nice amenities in the bathroom. A perfect place to stay and highly recommendable.

    We had a lovely stay at the Kaliwa lodge. The bungalows are nice and comfortable and the staff friendly. We enjoyed the meals and liked that we could sit outside in the garden for lunch/breakfast. The terrace with the view over mount Kilimanjaro is a highlight on its own. A great place to relax and enjoy the view. Wifi was working great. The staff helped us with the transfer and we had a enjoyable hikking/coffee tour in the area.

    The property was excellent but the short off road to property has a water gutter passing across which makes difficult for small car to pass. wheel got stuck but the staff Julias came running to help us to move out wheel that got stuck. a ramp to cover the gutter would be excellent.

    The location is a bit remote, and the dinner price was a bit steep but everything else was wonderful.

    We stayed here as a treat for our last night in Tanzania - and also our anniversary whilst on honeymoon - and it was just as special as we'd hoped. The deck is incredible with stunning views of Kili (if she's not feeling too shy). Food was amazing if a little pricey for dinner with a fixed cost of 20usd pp but we were treated wonderfully, gifted a bottle of fizz and had a lovely relaxed 24hr stay.
