Everythings works, but more places to sit outdoor.

8.0

The room and the food was very nice and the staff was friendly. The pool-area need improvement, and I think the place need cosy sites both out in the garden area and in the restaurant. Places, where we could sit and talk or read.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and spacious. The food was delicious and served on time for every meal. The staff were attentive and friendly. Very convenient location only 15km from the gate to Ngorogoro crater

Octagon lodge-an oasis in Karatu

10.0

The room or lodge we stayed in was set in a beautiful garden...an oasis for the surrounding area. Ideal location for a trip to the Ngorongoro crater. Although the lodge was clean and comfortable it was a little basic, but charming none the less. The only real negative was that the porch area needed to be seen to...the wooden boards were a little loose underfoot. The hotel itself..again beautiful gardens and landscaping, there was a pool on site too (although we didn't have time to use it)and a fabulous well stocked bar. The staff were fantastic, attentive, helpful and friendly, infact hospitality was first rate, made the stay. The food was excellent, packed lunch was provided for our day trip and on our return they were waiting with refreshments... excellent service all round. Would definitely stay here again.

THE pool was Nice and clean. Staff was friendly but to communicate was hard because of the poor understanding of englisch. The rooms were clean but the walls were not fully covert so small animals/bugs can come in. There is a klamboo. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit, eggs and pancakes. It s a good option if you don t want to spent to much money and want to be close to THE entrance of THE ngorogoro Crater. Thats 25 min drive to the gate and 45 min -1 hour to get to THE descending road of THE Crater!
