if I knew the Swahili for "hotel of broken things", I would suggest that as the hotel slogan. We had two different rooms, showers did not work in either. Coffee machine in the room- broken. Ditto for the expresso machine in the bar. Amazing looking fitness room - closed. Internet cafe, also amazing looking - closed. Food tended to be... More

We were a group of 120, and everyone enjoyed the place. The water, particularly hot water, was lacking, but we got by, just fine. Several folks remarked that the shortfalls made the trip seem real. The food was excellent, as was the service. Great views, and there were cute little rock hyraxes, everywhere. My only complaint was the $8 charge... More

This hotel is an example of what happens with poor management. The hotel grounds and the structure is very nice: it is build int huge boulders and has amazing views. However, it is dirty and has terrible customer service. There were cockroaches in our room both days. (none of the other hotels in my 1 month stay in Tanzania had... More

Great location on top of the kopjes and in the very center of Seronera. Nicely built swimming pool with a view. The reception is somewhat cool and the rooms are very (very) noisy and rather small. Friendly kitchen staff and a very tasty but spicy buffet. This is a big lodge (150 guests in high season) and you feel like... More

We stayed at this lodge for 2 nights. Out of the 4 lodges we stayed at, this was our least favorite. The room was small but adequate. A previous poster stated all beds were either king or twin. This is not correct; the bed in our room was queen. Windows were screened. Mosquito nets or fans were not provided. The... More

the seronera wildlife lodge is a beautiful refuge right by the seronera river in the serengeti. The hotel is newly renovated as the rooms are still shining in polyurethane. Lodging here was included as part of it safari that came as a very pleasant surprise for how nice it is. This is a place worthy of 4star rankings with beautifully... More

Great location for Central Serengeti as is the architecture and the rock formations it is built around. Rooms were small but adequate and clean and while power and water are switched off at certain hours this didn't cause any inconvenience. The food was not bad and while there is a gym and internet cafe all set up it wasn't open.

This is a mid-priced lodge in a great location in central Serengeti. You are paying for location and not amenities or service. All rooms have 1 king or 2 twin beds, no triples. They have a patio door, but no patio. Some rooms are interconnecting, but families will need 2 rooms. The lodge is built into the rock, but there... More

This was our 4th hotel on our 13 day Safari. It Is builtt around giant boulders and the architecture is unbelievable. BUT the maintenance is woeful, the bottom sheet on our bed had a large central patch and the pillowcase had a hole, the towels were scruffy. The dining room is all polished wood , beautiful, but the cream leather... More
