100% Recommended For Excellence Highview Hotel 🏨😜

This place has an incredible spirit of togetherness. As soon as we arrived, they made us feel at home with a welcome drink and traditional music dance. We were lucky to meet the Director who was very friendly and interactive. The food was very tasty and making you want more. Definitely recommend this home of natural coffee and beautiful views

Home of Natural Coffee and Incredible Views

I would like to say I have got a lot of nice experience from the hotel and good service from High view Hotel staff. The food was good from breakfast to Dinner, hospitality of the staff from Highview hotel was good where by you can feel at home when you are there.

High View Hotel for better view of Karatu nature

A cozy and functional hotel.  Small, but clean and functional rooms.  Breakfast and dinner moderately good.  Fresh vegetables and root vegetables from the hotel's own vegetable garden are a pleasant surprise.  The staff is very friendly and attentive.  Special thanks to "Chief" Laizer for the hospitality and the coffee tour.

Relaxation in a comfortable hotel during the Safari

Me and my mom had a really nice stay at the Highview Hotel! The food is very nice and the staff is really nice. There is also a nice swimming pool with a bar. We especially liked the guided tour by Masai guy Laizer Moti who explained us all about the coffee and the Masai culture. We could ask what we wanted. Great experience!

Very nice place and great staff

Nice hotel with friendly staff in otherwise sketchy Karatu. The rooms are mainly clean (a little bit oldish) and the pool are is refreshing.

Food is simple and made in inland style (lack of spicies, rice and beans etc). Water is a bit expensive.

Good place to rest between safari

Quite frankly some of the reviews of this place actually contain photographs of totally different establishments or are written by people with initial safari fever excitement and bias. We stayed here for 2x2 nights at the start and end of a safari. You will not see any animals at this location be aware of that as the venue is simply the place to stay and then go to other venues. The good, well the setting is nice and some of the junior staff are excellent, especially the bar staff and the porters. On the other hand, some senior staff members are just lip service artists. The food is mediocre at best and the coffee served in the morning with milk but served in the evening without milk is dreadful and given that this place has a so called coffee lodge next door it’s an absolute disgrace. Practically every coffee or tea cup has numerous chips making drinking from them unsafe and unhygienic and despite a senior manager promising to get them changed he never did.  The packed lunches made primarily from the evening before leftovers are disgusting with cold chips, the same piece of watermelon, cucumber and small banana, a piece of dry bread and a cling film wrapped tablespoon of the previous nights leftover meat… usually inedible. All supplied in a cardboard box that has probably seen multiple uses and is once again unhygienic when you consider how many paws prints it has and dirt from being bounced around the floor of a Toyota Land Cruiser bounding along the Serengeti or any other park. As for the rooms hot water is supplied from an electric boiler the water pressure is very very poor and it’s impossible to regulate the heat. Once or twice I gave up and just had a cold shower. The bathroom on each occasion was filthy as were the bedrooms. See the attached photos each bathroom was disgusting. One morning I wiped ‘the’ sole picture frame with my threadbare towel, you know the type that you wouldn’t even use on your dog, well you can see what an improvement I made. The rooms were NEVER made up so how can anyone leave this place a positive review. I never saw nor stayed in a room with the pictures they display on their website. Each room is rather tiny and although there are 3 x 3 pin sockets depending on the bed layout you can only access one. Would I recommend you stay here well no. Would I stay here again definitely not I’d rather lance a boil on my behind with a elephant gun.

Don’t do as I did no research = disappointment.

Really friendly staff, great view from the summit bar. Delicious food and really clean rooms. We stayed here three separate nights, before and after trekking Kilimanjaro and after our Safari. The rooms always had everything we needed. And we were always handled with perfect service everytime we asked for any. Sincerely the care was beyond what i expected and i can hundred percent recommend this place to anybody planning to have a visit in Tanzania.
