Loved the place, the ambience! Scenery, and fresh air, let alone the set up! Super hospitable stuff, Ill not mention how perfect the food was. We had a function hence had a buffet! Everything was fresh! And delicious! I Gave you a 5 for having sanitary package in the ladies room.The managers Daniel and Kevin where there the entire time to look out and make sure everyone was confortableDef. Coming back for a vacation!
Whenever I am working safaris in Arusha, I stay at Rivertrees.The beautiful garden is pure Zen: peaceful and beautiful to look at with a kaleidiscope variety of plants and trees.I love staring at the troops of 3 different monkey species jumping around between the branches.The food is always delicious and the staff go out of their way to make every day here especially charming. Theres simply no better place to chill :-) I also enjoyed checking out the area on their bike and canoeing tours.
It is 3-star hotel but i rated it five star, it is very affordable, the place is crucial to keep mind fresh and focused to the future. Welcome Rivertrees Country Inn to feel to most comfort. You may Book wherever youre thats show its strength to the growing technology
Really enjoyed our stay here and wished we were able to spend another night. The location is absolutely beautiful, the staff was very welcoming, beautiful room and bathroom. We had a great time at the bar trying out wine and beer and left after a delicious breakfast buffet.
Beautiful place I like the area just visit its nice place for you to enjoy and ralax by hearing water flow from river and also having good air and shadow provided by trees
Reservation team were helpful, Chenay at the reception was wonderful. We felt comfortable. Comfortable environment too
Rivertrees is an oasis and a relaxing getaway! The food and drinks were good, and the trees and the restaurant staff were lovely. However, there is room for improvement. My girlfriend and I got pedicures, which were the worst pedicures I have ever received. Understandably so, they outsource this service but they should work on who they hire or train them. We were still hopefully and all four of us got massages, again, the masseuses had no strength. We literally just paid to get oil rubbed on us. Clearly the manager is a good sales man! Getting a hold of the front desk is also a bit of a hassle as you have to walk to reception or call from your phone (a bit of an inconvenience as an international traveler). Oh, also always look down as there are mean ants all around. All that said, would I stay at Rivertrees again? YES! The rooms are bright, I love the sound of the river, and it was a great escape.
As always name indicate about place. This place is on the riverside and huges trees on riverside.Nice and calm place to enjoy your meal.They have the best pizza in Arusha..And specially on Saturday and Sunday you can enjoy barbeque menus..Theyve Saturday farmers Market which promotes sale of local products like honey, coffee and fresh vegetables and fruits.
Great place. Poor service. The food is okay.
A great stay, the enviroment is perfect, staff great
Wonderful place, nice Oasis with fantastic vegetation, wonderful flowers. Great food, very friendly staff. Feels like home. I can give them my best recommendation.
Love this place! Excellent attentive staff, natural riverland forest beauty, perfect pool, beautifully appointed rooms. Best pizzas!! Try the Tanzanian wine, its surprisingly quaffable.
My fav place. Delicious pizzas and pork
You just seat next to the river and forget everything. The best therapy you can have. Great services and delicious food.
Very nice place u have to sleep here I love the nature and the food is amazing definetly a spot to go to ,the service is good from the beginning to the end.
River trees is a very nice place to stay you ll enjoy
Live music was great. Food was delicious but took a while to get. We went for a Birthday meal but there were no desserts available. We told the waiter about the birthday but noone came to sing as in the past, possibly because the restaurant is getting going again after Covid 19.
The restaurant & the outside tables are very pleasant, peaceful and comfortable. The food is good but unimaginative. The first Sunday of the month features live music & an outdoor BBQ which is tasty.
Good Pizza and nice cool ambience with garden
The first time I go there it was 2019 I see was good but I go there to day I seet at restaurant it was moring time 11.24 I order the food the laidy tould me now lunch is not ready you can wait a minute I say oky so I ordered hot chocolate she give me I drink after I tell her give me my billl I need to pay and leave because I get appointment she say to me hook if u want to go pay 10000 I asked her for what she tould its rules of here If u sweet restaurant and u not eat food you have to pay 10000 I say to her I dont knw that I drink hot chocolate so I pay my bill and leave I fill so bad there to day
Great ambience and delicious food.
Just the perfect place. We had the villa at the water. Super friendly staff and every wish that you have they will help you with. The neighborhood is very nice with the water and monkeys in the trees. The food at the restaurant wooow!! have a drink at the fire. or walk around or sit outside your villa and listen to the water and watch the stars with a drink
Good place for nature, to rest and kind peoples. Good service for all your needs
We went here for a birthday lunch and not only did they charge us corkage for bringing in a cake (this was fine but they should put a notice on their website so people are aware), they also didnt allow us to use the pool as its for guests only. Also the place had an old colonial feel to it which made us feel a little uncomfortable. Even though the food was good, the overall experience wasnt worth enough for us to go back.
I love this place, I go for lunch once every month. Good food, beautiful green sorroundings.
If you go there only to breathe the air, sit by the river or stroll the gardens...it is enough. But you can actually dine and lodge there. Its a beautiful place
Lovely place, nothing notably fantastic, reminded me of a hotel in the Caribbean. Good food friendly staff.
What a wonderful respite from long travels. Peaceful and beautiful grounds, friendly and efficient staff, made our overnight stay hear such a rejuvenating experience. Highly recommend.
Always a delight. Great food. Amazing view. Good service.
Loved the room by the river. Food was excellent. Very friendly and accomadating
Happy to see this isnt only a mzungu hotspot. Great garden, and friendly staff. And you might even see the occasional wild life walking around.
Super super spot. Loved it. Great service and great environment for a family weekend
Amazing customer service. I made reservations for a birthday party and they set a nice place for us and they served us humbly....Great job to the employees👍
One of the worsties place for black/locals people to be..Such treatment 😔😔😔
Nice place but poor resto
Delicious food and drinks under a very nice natural environment
Nice foo. Okay place to stay sometimes over priced
Great ambience and good coffee. A nice place to sit around and relax. Pizza is really fantastically done, wood fired with good amounts of toppings, lots of cheese. Definitely worth trying!
Picture perfect location with tremendously friendly staff. Rooms were elegant with all the required amenities, including WiFi. Monkeys roam the grounds but they are harmless and entertaining to watch. Out of all the hotels we visited during our safari trip, this was by far the best. Definitely worth visiting again.
River trees is a beautiful lodge and open air restaurant. The pizza is quite good and the rest of the menu very good. They have a pool. You may enjoy seeing wildlife like colour monkeys and blue monkeys. As well different birdsong small mammals. Lovely gardens and they grow their own veggies.
We were given this recommendation by a friend and my goodness it was amazing! We didn’t stay in the lodge itself, but had a meal at the delightful restaurant. Couldn’t of asked for a more wonderful meal! Thank you!
It has great green gardens lovely chill place and the restaurant is just out standing
A bit overpriced lodge in a big park. Very nice rooms. Meals in the Restaurant could need a bit more inspiration. Always same menu since years. Children love their pizza.
Just reviewing the dining experience..Here 4 Xmas lunch opted for a burger and not the special buffet. Service was slow and we had to ask multiple times for utensils, napkins etc..fries were a let down and the burger was too undercooked..and lacked the juiciness and flavor of a premium burger.Views and ambience is fantastic!!
Rivertrees Country Inn was a great first stop on our adventure into Tanzania. We had flown in pretty late into JRO so we spent the night nearby at Rivertrees. The staff was very kind and accommodating and our mini cottage was clean and comfortable. If we stayed for more than a night, we definitely could have enjoyed the grounds more, which are full of unique vegetation and birds. The communal breakfast and dinner accommodations were lovely and the food was very good. Thank you, River Trees, for a great introduction into Africa!
Really nice. Loved the pizza. Our room was very well decorated and comfortable. Only a brief visit, but would definitely come back.
Its a nice place it has good food and also one of the most beautiful surrounding. Everyone enjoyed alot also there service is good and the waiters are really nice and charming.
Amazing place. Relaxing, great service and very food food / choice of wines.
Environment is calm and green.very relaxing for a family lunch or otherwise as the food is delicious.good customer service.
Beautiful experience.... Very friendly staff and the pizza is great! Best experience in Arusha!!
The pizzas had good textures but lacked some taste, no garlic/ chili sauce was brought to the table!
Spent one night here in transit to Serengeti. A lovely lodge. Very natural surroundings with lots of little monkeys in the vicinity. Was lovely to watch them playing in the trees around the rooms. Would highly recommended this place.
Food surroundings and service was great . Thank you for a great evening
Friendly staff and very comfortable accommodations. Great starting point for safari.
Its a gorgeous and relaxing place
Lovely place, lovely service, but 2 pork ribs for 28,000! I wouldnt go back. Still hungry when I left...
Lunch was tasty & the service great . The surroundings are magical, cool under majestic trees ...
Delicious meals, reasonably priced, excellent waitstaff, beautiful natural environment (complete with monkeys!) Best restaurant in or near Arusha!
One need to be inside to enjoy the architecture combining nature elements: stone and robust wood. Nice service and food
Lovely rooms, gorgeous small pool, and the staff are extremely friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.
A very nice and chilled place to spend ur time at
Very nice lodge. With peaceful river flow
Great food, beautiful grounds and great service
This place is really Beautiful..it is so Peaceful...and oh yes, the food is amazing.A perfect place for a weekend or short holiday gateaway.
Wonderful place to chill and do small meetings
Beautiful ambience! Away from the hustle and bustle of city life!
Very nice and cool place to be
Pizzas was delicious,Nice view and environment
Beautiful gardens and great band and Sunday lunch on the 1st Sunday of every month
Good cool place that I highly recommend
I loved everything about rivertrees from the services to the food and the breathtaking enviroment
Have been there several times and food is amazing. Highly recommended to have pork ribs anytime and salad bar on weekdays
Beautiful place to go and relax .. good hospitality and they have a very delicious meals 😋
Super luxury hotel close to a really poor area. I was living around the area for some months and I confess it was a good place to go and take a european coffee and some european desserts which isnt so common in the country.
My son and I lodged there in 2017, the staff were gracious and the lodge was beautiful
Loved the place... Saturdays there is a market, BBQ and Salad plates
Its cool place with all service..
Great pizza and salad. Grounds are amazing. Kids love the monkeys
Its a very beautiful place. If you like pizza, try the chicken pilipili pizza 😉
Really nice, monkeys on the roof at 6am. Really cool. Great staff, super grounds.
A cool place and it is very natural.
The place is wonderful, refreshing and cool also but they only care for outsiders mostly though they both have the same services, I think it will be quite wise if they consider this
