"Friendly staff and delicious food. Room was lovely and spacious. Airport shuttle was comfortable and very prompt. Only negative was that there were not enough loungers at the pool."

"Very clean, great team running the hotel. Stayed either side of climbing kili"

"Primeland is a small first class boutique hotel and highly recommended. Its 3 star rating belies its quality. The only drawback is that the very clean standard double rooms, although very well appointed, are small.  This can easily be overcome by booking a twin room (for a few pounds more) and requesting the removal of the single bed. The breakfast is limited but quite adequate and the lunch / dinner menu extensive for the size of the hotel.  The grilled Nile Perch is highly recommended as is the Beef Pizza but all the food is both well cooked and presented, with local representatives. The Beef Samosas are equal to any in the subcontinent or souks of the Middle East.  The service is most attentive.  The swimming pool, while not Olympic size, is more than large enough for recreational swimming and has a bar area adjoining. The pool, which can be viewed from the restaurant has alternating colour lighting in the evening.  The hotel building and pool are surrounded by a pleasant and varied well kept garden. It is located in an area outside the centre with indigenous shops and housing but is only a 7 minute (€1.5) tuktuk ride from the town centre and the local Mbuyeni market. Finally, and by no means least, in appropriate cloud conditions it has an excellent view of the peak of Kilimanjaro above a local foreground of trees. A self parking area is provided within the walled security area which is controlled by a Masai guard as well as a local uniformed security company.10+/10."
