The rooms and the grounds of this hotel are lovely but the service is poor and impersonal due, no doubt, due to its guaranteed business from travel companies who use this as a base for tour groups (pre and post Kilimajaro or going on safari). The hotel is located some distance out of Arusha so you are obliged to pay... More

This hotel has great grounds and truly wonderful to relax. However, it is way overpriced for the quality and standard. I also noted they quote one price and proceed to attempt to charge another. The sole focus appears to be on money and how much and how quick they can extract it from you with little regard for anything else.... More

We only spent a night here but it marked itself in its contrast to the wonderful places and cheerful staff we found in just about every Tanzania venue. The front desk receptionist was surly, sour and acted as if our arrival was an imposition. Hardly a word. The dining wait staff was nice enough, and the manager came by to... More

We stayed here for one night after we'd finished a week of volunteering and before our safari started. The lodge does have a memorable view of Mount Meru and the cottages are comfortable enough. However, there were at least five tour groups there when we were -- groups coming back from climbing Kilimanjaro or beginning their trip or large groups... More

I brought a group of 20 people to Moivaro this month and we enjoyed it a great deal. It was not outstanding, but it was much better than some of the other places we have used over the years. The property itself is really nice; lots of space, nice pool and a great fire pit. The food is pretty good;... More

I recently spent two nights at the Moivaro as part of a larger group. On arrival, we were warmly greeted with a cooling drink, and swiftly allocated our lodges. These are scattered in the grounds of the hotel, which are beautiful, lush and well-maintained. There is a swimming pool with loungers, and also a fire-pit with comfy chairs which was... More

Moivaro Coffee Plantation is situated just outside of Arusha, about 45 minutes from Kilimanjaro airport. The lodge is set on a working coffee plantation and has a lovely ‘country’ feel, even though it is just minutes from Arusha. The staff members are friendly and the gardens are well-maintained and lush. Although not overly luxurious, the accommodation is clean and neat... More

The hotel itself is isolated from any external noise, the hiways are quite far, peace and quiet come with the territory. The rooms are basically cottages scattered on a very large tract of land. There is plenty of space between each which is nice for privacy. The rooms are large, clean and well kept. The shower has plenty of hot... More

After a long overnight flight, arrival before lunch gave us plenty of time to relax & catch up on sleep. Pool & loungers were welcome. Very quiet & comfortable lodge. Above all, the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help stood out.
