We enjoyed our stay at Kaliwa. The staff members were lovely--the people were the highlight of our stay. The rooms are practical but tastefully decorated, very clean, and pleasant. I'm very grateful that the Kaliwa team was accommodating when we realized that my father's CPAP breathing machine would need overnight electricity. Their quick thinking was very appreciated. The food was very nice and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Avoid, I stayed here in August 2024. I should have left a review before now, however, was waiting for the police to review my complaint but nothing appears to have happened. I stayed here before climbing Kilimanjaro and had over $1000 in cash stolen from my hotel room whilst I slept. The hotel staff searched the room thoroughly but the monies never turned up. This is obviously a serious accusation and have thought twice about posting this review but believe it is necessary to alert anyone else staying at this property. The hotel is supposed to be on a gated enclosure so can only conclude it was a member of staff responsible for the theft.

Kaliwa lodge is 1hr from airport & Mt Kili walking points. You must arrange transport with lodge to go anywhere as the lodge is very isolated. Located amongst banana plantation down a very bumpy dirt road. Lodge is surrounded by walls and is secure. The lodge has a garden courtyard with rooms around yard. Large deck overlooking a green valley and Mt Kilimanjaro. Room & ensuite is functional with adequate space. Dated modern decor, large netted comfy bed, good hot water & WiFi. Dinner was good & had breakfast box. Staff are great. Birds at night & early morning can be a nuisance for light sleepers. Dinner & drinks at reasonable prices.

Lovely space and great staff. The room had no ventilation, the bed was extremely hard, not enough hooks in the bathroom to put wet towels, storage space in the shower to put the shampoo and body wash, and not enough counter space for toiletries. The breakfast was excellent and the coffee was delicious.

Kaliwa Lodge provided an exceptional experience with outstanding views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The managers and staff were friendly and helpful at all times. In addition to clean rooms, the freshly prepared meals and tranquil surroundings were delightful. The lodge can also arrange excursions with a local guide. I hiked to Machame Camp one day and participated in a village tour/coffee roasting experience on another, both with local guide Edimund. Thank you for a delightful stay.

The manager is SUPER personable which is great in such a small property. The setting is amazing despite the fact that the Kili was cover by clouds the whole time. However there’s some investment the property could make to offer more comfort to its guests. Hopefully with new management these improvements will take place. I will invest in good pillows, the ones provided were awful. The beds have the set up for the mosquito nets but they weren’t used. They should because we were bitten by mozzies. Having to pay only in cash is cumbersome. The property in general could be better maintained and little touches to make it more welcoming.

This lodge is 15 km to Mt. Kilimanjaro and 45 min. from Kilimanjaro airport. Only accepts cash. The property mangers are friendly. For the price you pay, the room and bathroom is very tiny. Some of the customers rating is very high on this facilty. For the price that’s being charged you would expect to get lot more. You can get taxi at airport which is lot cheaper than asking the lodge to arrange and the same for the tours. The viewing deck is nice but the 2 days we their was foggy so you couldn’t see the mountain peak.
