It felt like being at a summer camp. The grounds are well maintained, the staff were amazing and we were treated like royalty. You walk a winding path to your cabin and it is in nature. We saw many monkeys on the property and it was great to wake up to bird song.

Beautiful restful stay after 2 days of air travel. The Riverhouse and property were gorgeous, historic and restful. My 2 teenage daughters and I appreciated the kind hospitality and delicious food. Abdullah expertly drove us to and from the airport. Mitchelle and the front desk were excellent hosts and we enjoyed a walking tour of the property. Thank you!!!

Beautiful room, nice surroundings, good restaurants/bars, staff very helpful. Also spa services available. Only minus is the lack of AC in the room, only fan on the celling, but for this time of the year it was bearable.

Amazing property, great customer service, awesome calming river behind our back door, delicious food (sooo good), and a pool with monkey's swinging around in the trees above. I liked that they don't have tv, I was able to rejuvenate and get work done in a serene environment. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel with gorgeous setting. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast is adequate. I didn’t appreciate the several mistakes about food charges. The staff is not as friendly and trained as in other high quality hotels. There is a beautiful river walk around the property that shouldn’t be missed. Great location for trips to Kilimanjaro and Kilimanjaro airport.

Nice and comfortable accommodation in the setting of a previous coffee plantation. Our garden room backs on the Usa River and there is a sitting area that one can sit and relax. The swimming room is just short walk from our room.
Staff are friendly and nice. They offer turn down service and help to prep your bed net and spray the room to decrease mosquitoes in your room.
