Garlic Allergy
Although I had notified Serena Head office of my garlic allergy, Serena Lake Manyara. did not know on arrival. The chef prepared me a separate meal which was excellent. We were invited back for lunch on our return journey to prove that the food could be prepared. We were treated to a special location, excellent food to address the earlier problem. I cannot fault the staff in their desire to remedy the situation and give us a good experience overall.

Great staff, Nice ambience and very good entertainment though the rooms themselves do not compete with other lodges in the area. Bullfrogs near the restaurant and the infinity pool/bar area are highlights

Wir verbrachten mehrere Tage in diesem Hotel. Wir wurden vom Personal sehr gut umsorgt. Wir fĆ¼hlten uns sofort wohl. Jeder Wunsch wurde erfĆ¼llt. Die Herzlichkeit und Freundlichkeit machen dieses Hotel zu einem Paradies. Unset Liebƶingsplatz war am Swimmingpool. Der Ausblick auf den Lake Manyara ist beeindruckend! Vielen Dank dem Team auch fĆ¼r die Ɯberraschung am letzten Abend. Wir wurden mit einem persƶnlichem Bufett mit Barbecue Ć¼berrascht.

Good but food needs improvement
Overall the hotel and staff are good. The only thing i strongly reccommend them to work on is the food. Compared to other hotels in the area they are below average. This said, thw rooms were clean and service was good!

Great location but the hotel needs improvements
We think that the hotel is a little bit old, and, except for the bed, the room is not confortable.

Nette Lodge - aber ....
Nette Lodge, netter Service und super AtmosphƤre gepaart mit tollem Ausblick und schicken HƤuschen! Aaaber: SCHWER zu finden! Wer "suchen" toll findet, ist hier bestens aufgehoben! ... Kleiner Tipp: Einfahrt am Airport wƤhlen und sich nicht verwirren lassen von nicht vorhandenen Wegen!
