The rooms are very comfortable, the netting on the bed perfect, the windows protected as well with nets, everything is clean, the beds very comfortable, no ac but also no need in my time period of visiting. The food served is very tasty ans staff speak great english, the location is great if you leave for a safari or in my case climbing Mt Meru. The owner lives at the location and speaks to all guests which is great as any misunderstandings are cleared quicky. The pool is good, and i loved the little walks on the compund, you get to see and hear various birds, monkeys, and buffalos

Really beautiful and tranquil spot. The hotel had lovely personal service and felt like an authentic game lodge with heritage. Surrounded by nature the opportunity to watch monkeys play in the trees whilst eating breakfast is truly magical. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Would recommend for those staying or travelling through the area.

We chose Mount Meru game lodge as we were arriving early morning into JRO on an international flight and wanted somewhere to relax before our safari the next day. We were not disappointed. From our arrival the staff went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable and we got to access our room by 11am which was fantastic. The grounds are lovely, with monkeys jumping through the trees above our room and small paths to wander down to see some of the wildlife there. The room itself (for 3 people) was spacious and very comfortable. We had a delicious lunch as well as the half-board buffet dinner (which we wished we had just booked B&B as couldn’t really enjoy the dinner as much as ate so much for lunch so was a bit wasted!) Overall a lovely and very memorable stay. Highly recommend if you want somewhere peaceful and calm to start your trip

Wow! What an amazing home away from home in Tanzania! The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, polite and intuitive. Our every need was considered and the food was delicious. We spent 2 nights and then went on Safari and came back for 2 nights on our way back. Each time, the kids kept saying they felt like they were coming home. The buffet dinner is a must. Breakfast is delicious and fresh. I can highly recommend this lodge!

This is one great hotel with history going back to the 1930s. The hotel and its furnishings hark back to an Africa of the past and the new owner has spent efforts to maintain that quaint atmosphere. He succeeded. The hotel sits on beautifully maintained property with a pool and animals roam a short distance away. Some resident monkeys thrive in the trees above adding to the sanctuary atmosphere intended. A surprisingly well stocked gift shop is at the front of the property. The rooms are a bit dated, adding to their charm, and spotlessly clean. The outdoor dining area offers spectacular views particularly at night when outdoor lighting is added. Five stars particularly for the food, cleanliness, setting, service and really nice bedding.

Our visit to Mount Meru Game Lodge was more than a place to sleep. Packed in 24 hours was a walk through history, walls lined pictures of the lodge and the story of the family who built it, the wildlife it served to protect, a homestead atmosphere with attentive staff at every turn, a kitchen who's chef masterfully prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner, with even a comical "Zonkey" and water buffalo on the grounds for one on the most unique wildlife experiences in all of Africa. To top it off, Owner, Harry, paid us a short visit and shared his amazing story. We will indeed be spending more time at Mount Meru Game Lodge, not just to sleep but to take it all in again. Go, stay, then tell your friends!

I was highly disappointed with my stay at Mt Meru Game Lodge. For the premium price charged, I expected a far better experience. The rooms are quite outdated, lacking the comfort and charm you’d anticipate from a lodge at this price point. What was most surprising—and frankly, unacceptable—was that no complimentary drinking water was provided to guests. Having to purchase basic water at an already expensive lodge felt excessive and out of touch with guest expectations, especially in a hospitality setting like this. On a more positive note, the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, and the breakfast was good. However, these few positives were not enough to justify the cost of staying here. Overall, it’s simply not worth the price. There are better options available in the area that offer more value, comfort, and guest-friendly amenities. I would not recommend Mt Meru Game Lodge unless there are significant improvements made.
