Ilboru was our start and end point for a Kilimanjaro Trek. 20 or so of us arrived en-mass, wanted feeding en-mass and departed en-mass - and the staff really did all they could to accommodate us. The Lodge is basic, and clean with some nice gardens and an open pool area. The lodges are quite spacious, again very basic, but... More

We, 20 people from US and China, stayed in this hotel on Feb. 15, 18 2013, before and after going to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We had to store climbing gears in this hotel. When we returned from Safari, our luggage piled mess , it was to hard to find. The dinner services so slow, and internet is too slow to... More

Great place to stay in Arusha. Very nice Garden, Huge Swimming pool and great atmosphere. Very nice staff! When I had booked friends in there a couple weeks back their taxi for an early morning transfer to the Airport was late, so the owner of Ilboru drove them to the airport himself! And this at 6 am! Great Place and... More

I stayed at the lodge over a weekend on a retreat. It was lovely. I stayed in one of the round 'boma' style rooms close to the pool. The bed was very comfortable, the mosquito net was generous, and the linen was white and fresh (always a big plus). The room was very clean. There was a good variety of... More

pleasant place to stay in Arusha with nice clean rooms, mosquito nets for every bed, and tribal style design. The pool area is great for relaxing in the sun but the pool itself is a bit dirty. Free high speed wifi all around is a major plus, even faster speeds than i get back home! Our stay booked as part... More

This is one of my top 3 hotels in Arusha, the hotel is located about 10-15 minutes from town, under the cool mount meru surroundings. It has a swimming pool, and spa in addition to the basics. Customer care is superb, two Sophias (receptionists, both share the same name Sophia) knows their work and are so welcoming, the owner is... More

Having driven up a very rutted dirt road between shacks, street sellers, children playing and shops, it was a surprise to turn into a gated Lodge with extensive gardens offering peace and quiet. Our room was on the edge of the property. It was pretty basic but clean and served its purpose for our last night in the country. The... More

Spent a night on each end of our safari at Ilboru. Location is in a quiet suburb of Arusha, up a very bumpy road. Welcome staff was really pleasant and the free wifi (when it works) is a nice touch. Rooms were ok. Shower on our first night was pretty useless, but on the return trip the room we had... More

Basic but adequate place to stay for a night or two before and after Kilimanjaro climb. Good pool area, very friendly staff and good food. However, if planning a longer stay, would look for something a little more luxurious.
