"We needed to stay close and other safari lodge we booked and Panama was as the perfect place. The staff were so hospitable and pleasant. They were the start of my amazing time in Tanzania. Shamsa was an angel & so were the team. The restaurant stayed open later just for us to eat when we arrived. The food was great. The driver was nice and helpful. The kitchen staff were so pleasant. Everything was clean and tidy. It was a 10/10 in everything."
"This is a great hotel for an overnight stay if you’re either flying out of Kilimanjaro airport or flying in. Nice restaurant, nice pool, helpful staff, 24 hour shuttle bus (we left at 145AM, no problem)! Rooms were clean and a hot shower is available which can be hard to come by in Africa!"
"This was a fantastic place to stay! Built in 1959, the hotel has tons of character and didn't feel corporate. We really appreciated the friendly staff and owner. My wife also really enjoyed the spa. Thank you for a great stay! This is truly a hidden gem!"
"Incredible - 10/10.
Food and drink - delicious.
Setting - peaceful.
Staff - couldn't do more to help you.
Flora and flora - a pleasant surprise and so interesting. Make sure you look up to see the monkeys."
"Lovely place off the beaten track. Beautiful views and morning visits to your balcony by the monkeys. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful.
Rooms were to a high standard whilst remaining authentic.
I’d highly recommend staying here."
"Perfect place to rest after a long flight. Hotel is about 15 minutes form the airport. Rooms are very clean and air-conditioned. There is water, soft drinks and beer for sale and Irene cooks dinner and breakfast literally on demand. They also organize drivers to take you to places if you need to. We had a very restful stay there."
"What a lovely little gem of a hotel! I stayed here for two days before and two days after my Kilimanjaro hike. The staff are a true highlight of this property and took excellent care of me."
