I had a pleasant stay at Zawadi House Lodge with its clean and comfortable rooms and very accommodating staff. The location was peaceful and convenient, just a short taxi ride from the airport. However, there were some issues with the breakfast service being slow, and I found the price for taxis arranged by the hotel to be unreasonably high compared to local rates.

My stay at Zawadi House Lodge was absolutely delightful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant retreat after long days. The staff truly went above and beyond to accommodate us, and I felt very welcomed throughout my visit. The dining experience was superb, with fresh meals that really hit the spot. However, I did notice the rooms could be just a bit on the smaller side, but it didn't take away from the overall comfort. All in all, it was fantastic value for money, especially for families or groups looking to explore Tanzania.

The atmosphere was peaceful, making it a perfect getaway from the hustle of the city.
