What Our Clients Say About us
EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Posted on Ashray JVerified Wonderful cozy place Stayed for two nights during safari. What a welcoming little place it was. Location, staff, food facilities were all amazing. One our second day we cut our safari short just so we could spend more time on the property. Care to small details was amazing. Definitely going to visit again and recommend the placePosted on George Brian FredsonVerified We stayed the night before and the night we returned from our Safaris and it was an oasis for relaxing and eating well. From the moment we arrived we were treated to amazing and sincere service from the staff. Greeted with hot moist towels after a long drive was such a treat! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and the location for a start and end to our Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Safaris was perfect. The food was 5 star and again, the service was unmatched. We seemed to have Mikael as our personal in house contact and he was always there for anything we needed. I can't say enough good things gs about this place!!Posted on Inga SVerified Ein Traum So eine wunderschöne Unterkunft. Sauber, freundlich, total toll. Das Personal super nett und hilfsbereit. Tolles Essen. Wirklich ein TraumPosted on Preslav GVerified Amazing hotel in Tanzania Amazing location, luxury rooms, super friendly service and incredible food. Highly recommended to stay in this place if you come for safari here.Posted on Marko LVerified Lovely stay with excellent service We stayed in this hotel as part of our safari tour. It was a little bit off the main road into the hills, but the location was really peaceful and with beautiful views. The hotel is really new with amazing interior design, rooms are very roomy, especially the bathroom. At the moment of our stay there were only 7 rooms in the hotel, so very quiet and personal stay. I can’t praise the service high enough. The staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The head of staff Mikael was doing an amazing job making sure all our needs were met and keeping us happy. The kitchen staff is doing an incredible job making absolutely delicious meals for every meal. The head chef came to greet us personally and shared some of his secrets about the mouth watering dishes. I need to mention the fireplace in the dining area, which was lit for us for dinner and breakfast, making it feel very cozy and special. Definitely worth the stay and we wish we could have stayed there longer.Posted on RainerVerified Traumhafte schön, total unerwartetes Erlebnis auf unserer Safari Tolle Unterkunft, die auch in Europa top Bewertungen bekommen würde! Personal ist super freundlich und zuvorkommend! Speziell Jenitha hat mit ihrer ruhigen und freundlichen Art unser Herz gewonnen!! Essen ist top top, da ist kein Unterschied zu unseren Spitzen Wellness Hotels zu Hause! Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung! Unbedingt buchen wenn es auf der Strecke der Safari liegt!!Posted on Matteo BVerified Wonderful Lodge, Beautiful Setting, Amazing Staff We spent two nights at Rhotia Cottage and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation is new and well-equipped with everything you might need. The rooms overlook the beautiful Ngorongoro forest, offering a peaceful and scenic view. The lodge also features a fantastic swimming pool. Breakfast was served as a lovely buffet, and they prepared excellent lunch boxes for our excursions. The dinner was delicious as well, with a good variety of dishes to choose from. All the staff were extremely kind and attentive to our needs. A special thanks to Jenitha for her warm welcome and outstanding hospitality—she was truly amazing!Posted on B LVerified Paradise in the Hills From the moment we arrived at Rhotia Hills Cottage, we were embraced by a sense of peace and thoughtful hospitality that few places in the world can offer. Augustino greeted us at our car with the kindest smile and the sharpest eye for detail — a true ambassador of warmth and precision. His attentiveness set the tone for our entire stay. Soon after, Jenitha, with her beautiful and kind spirit, made an adjustment to our arrangements that immediately elevated our comfort. Her calm efficiency and genuine care made us feel completely at home. Throughout our stay, Earnest was ever-diligent, providing focused and graceful attention that made every moment seamless — from meals to small comforts we didn’t even know we needed. And then there was Mikael — what juogi! A provider of deep care at his core, Mikael shared stories of his life, his Baba, his brothers, his son, and his dreams for the future. Our conversation about our babas, both farmers, was deeply grounding and reminded us how connected we all are through the land and love of family. Juogi maber osekonyowa ka wanongo osiepe manyalo rito chunywa — good spirits have guided us to friends who can protect our hearts. The architectural design of Rhotia Hills Cottage is a masterpiece of intention — blending harmoniously with the rolling hills and open skies. Saada and her kids built a beautiful space that feels otherworldly and magical! The gardens are laid out with care and artistry, full of color, texture, and quiet rhythm. The farm is flourishing, a testament to the cottage’s commitment to sustainability and nourishment. Inside, comfort reigns supreme — from the deeply restful beds to the exquisite linens that feel like a soft whisper after a day of adventure. And the food… oh, the food! Every dish bursts with freshness, flavor, and the unmistakable taste of love and care. Rhotia Hills Cottage is not just a place to stay — it is a place to feel, rest, and remember what it means to be connected to people and place. Every detail, every smile, every meal speaks of dedication, grace, and joy. We left Rhotia Hills with full hearts, deep gratitude, and a longing to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – An unforgettable stay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking serenity, connection, and true Tanzanian hospitality at its finest.Posted on Luanne YVerified Love staying here! It has everything you need, friendly and professional staff, food is great and the whole ambience is cozy and make you feel relaxed. It’s a lovely cottage where you can feel the perfect blend of luxury and nature.Posted on Luca TVerified What a gem! 🤩 We had a fantastic stay at Rhotia Hills. The lodge's garden is still quite new (as is the lodge itself), but you can imagine how it will bloom in abundance after the next rains. As soon as you enter the main house, you are captivated by the beautiful atmosphere, the unique style and the super-friendly staff. The main house has four rooms, a spa, and everything is furnished with great attention to detail and artistry. There are various areas for sitting, eating and enjoying yourself, and a bar with a cosy open fireplace. In the evening, you get a hot water bottle in your bed, and the staff are very warm and extremely attentive without being intrusive. The garden has a swimming pool and three cottages, which offer plenty of space and privacy, and the terrace has a direct view of the Ngorongoro Highlands. We were particularly impressed by the delicious food, made with produce from the hotel's own organic garden. We would come back anytime!
