    Pros +

    • The food was really good. The staff friendly and helpful.
    • The location was good- we were able to walk to town centre. It was in a safe area. it was a nice quiet enviroment and the pool was clean and refreshing. Breakfast was very good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
    • I always stay here when traveling through Arusha. The staff is excellent, they remember you when you are a repeat customer. The value is excellent, not fancy, a quiet oasis in a busy city. Drivers are available for errands in the city and pick up from the airport. Would not stay anywhere else.

    Cons -

    • Never had housecleaning - 3 night stay…..they were surprised at check out so probably not the norm.
    • I liked everything about the Outpost Lodge
    • The Outpost meets and exceeds my expectations. There are more western style hotels nearby, but they do not offer more than the Outpost. There is nothing I don't like.

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and inexpensive.

    The wifi was spotty, worked best at reception.

    Location. Garden setting. Nice bar/restaurant. Excellent food.

    They gave us a handicap room so the sink was at knee level. Shower didn’t work properly.

    Gorgeous garden, good food and great staff!

    7ChristinaPosted on: 12-20-2024

    It was a secure compound and felt safe with no problem with intruders. The food was good and the fresh hand cut hot chips were excellent.

    There was a mix up between the hotel and taxi they arranged to pick me up at the airport which meant I was left waiting for a while. My original room was a little drab but the other rooms were brighter. Luck of the draw.

    8AlexandraPosted on: 10-20-2024

    the location, the staff, the gardens, the atmosphere

    it’s good but rooms are worn off and in need of update, mainly of its equipment (beds, windows, mosquito nets (they don’t work), bathrooms furniture, accessories etc) without loosing its character.

    9TomasPosted on: 10-17-2024

    Vi really enjoyed hanging around by the pool and taking a swim every day. I would recommend the place especially to families with kids. Great personall and good food. Close to the city centre.

    The facility is situated just over a wall by a trafficated road with some noice and air pollution.

    8SarahPosted on: 10-7-2024

    Good ambiance, comfy beds, good dinner, nice shower

    Toilet door didn’t close

    Lovely property with lots of natural, lush vegetation. Nice pool with plenty of shade. Convenient restaurant with excellent coffee/espresso drinks and pretty good food. Friendly staff. Excellent bargain, given the price! Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town!

    Wifi only available in common areas.

    8BerniePosted on: 3-12-2024

    Fairly quiet room. Good security. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Meals were good, as was the selection.

    Wifi was a bit sketchy as you had to move to “hot locations” to connect. Would have been convenient to text family from our room.

    8IvoPosted on: 2-15-2024

    The atmosphere was great, also garden was nice and the bar offer was reasonable. Kids did enjoyed the pool.

    Water in rooms was in home filled bottles. My friend from our group complained about the room they had, cleanes etc.

    10DhushPosted on: 1-31-2024

    Staff were very friendly , professional and always happy to give advice. Breakfast was excellent, and excellent value for evening meals and drinks.Also, good value for accommodation. Thank you to the Team!

    All good!

    Safe location, good security, comfortable bed with mosquito net, friendly staff, nice garden.

    The rooms could do with re-painting, the swimming pool was dirty with leaves and bugs floating in it. Overall this was one of the cheaper options in Arusha so the standard was expected

    7DeborahPosted on: 12-15-2023

    Food was good and staff were friendly.

    The shower was a big problem. the hot water was TOO HOT and couldn't get the shower mixerr to work

    4DavidPosted on: 11-19-2023

    Nice bar area and friendly bar staff.

    No evidence of anyone taking pride in trying to improve what felt like a tired, basic lodge. Policy of no wifi in bedrooms is unhelpful.

    10LeannePosted on: 11-17-2023

    Well located. Rooms really clean and comfortable.comfortable lounge areas and a bar. But it was the staff who made it such a special stay. They were all so kind and friendly and went out of their way to offer any assistance. Even organised some day trips with an excellent guide. Nothing was too much trouble.

    5BertilPosted on: 11-13-2023

    The food is great and the staff at the bar and restaurant is very nice.

    Unfortunately the neighbor dog was barking all night long. I must admit that I'm not an easy sleeper, so it bothered me a great deal. I was in 2 different rooms, one was modern, the second was far over the hill.

    7JonquilPosted on: 11-11-2023

    Comfortable beds. Hot showers.

    Bar was closed because we arrived late.
