"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Es war einfach alles super! Man fühlt sich mitten im Dschungel und erlebt die Natur hautnah. Auf unserer Terrasse konnten wir sogar Affen beobachten und nachts Buschbabys sehen – ein wirklich einzigartiges Erlebnis! Der Besitzer und die Mitarbeiter sind super nett, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war top und hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können das Monkey Mountain Hotel wirklich von Herzen weiterempfehlen!"

"The place is great for a retreat. The lodges are spaceful, with air and view, very unique. In addition, I especially enjoyed the service from the Manager Martin: I had told him I was arriving late and couple sandwiches were waiting at my room so that I wouldn't go to bed with an empty stomach. And I asked him to organize for me a fishing party which he did fantastically and for a very reasonable price. I went early morning an hour out from the coast fishing Tuna with good and experienced guys....

Blue Reef Sport and Fishing Lodge & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Relaxed beyond words during our stay @ Blue Reef. This place is a vibe…chill. Luxuries abound in our rooms (we stayed in the apartment). So much space for our family of 4 to really spread out and regroup after a week of safari in northern Tanzania. Snorkeling right from the hotel was perfect for the kids. The breakfasts were spot on for everyone in our group of picky eaters to find their favorites…GREAT COFFEE!!! The staff is laid back and welcoming while also taking care of business. We’ll be back!"
