“I’ll be back again, the locations is great and we felt very welcomed with my wife”

Very clean, friendly staff, place to park my motorcycle as I was traveling with it. Decent food, all good

“Spactacular”

The property is just few minutes away from town and it well known by badaboda and taxis. Beautiful scenery and suitable for family trips with kids as it has spacious area for kids to play

“Fantastic”

The included breakfast is fantastic! The lunch and dinner menus are also diverse and the prices are very reasonable. We kindly received a free upgrade to superior rooms, which were amazing with huge windows into the forest. The staff is very friendly and can accommodate any wishes. The bar is also fun!

The place is good, service needs to improve.

“Great stay in Lushoto”

Great, quiet location with a wonderful garden including pool close to the center of Lushoto. Very friendly staff, great restaurant with good breakfast and dinner, convenient laundry service, perfect support with organizing bus tickets to Moshi. We also appreciated that Shambaa Eco Tours was located directly on the premises. We did two excellent hiking tours with them.

“Fine Place in Lushoto”

Nice verandah Decent garden

“Such a wonderful stay! Charming staff to top it off.”

Charming, cosy, quaint mountain oasis.

“Amazing”

“Liked it so well we came back after a week!”

The atmosphere! The staff! The view! Place with a history - loved it!

Our stay at Laws Hotel was perfect and resourcing, we received an upgrade of our room. Thank you to all the team !

“Charming stay in Lushoto”

The entire staff were so friendly and accommodating, which really helped as we were travelling with young children. It was especially nice chatting with the manager, Shakira, who we found lots of common with! The actual common areas, both inside and outside, were quaint and comfortable, with a bit of a summer camp lodge vibe. Having an evening fire was a nice touch; would recommend bringing some marshmallows to toast!

One of the oldest lodging in Lushoto - full of character and charm. Very friendly and helpful manager - Shakira. Would stay there again

“An experience that I will remember for the right reasons.”

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful. The hotel has that old world african vibe that a lot of tourists look for. Outside seating area is great for pre dinner drinks. The fires inside are very welcome and add to the oldy worldy club style.

Great staff, nice bar.

“Good place to relax a few days. Walking tour need to be guided which is rather expensive”

Nice place, good swimming pool and terras

“It was extrodinary.”

I liked everything about the trip. The manager Shakira was great and the guide Gilbert form shambaa was also very kind and wise.

“Very friendly staff and quiet place to relax”

Very friendly staff. They even stored our luggage for a small fee. The area is clean.

“Wonderful stay in the mountains”

Lawns hotel is an ideal retreat from the heat of Tanzania. It’s a lovely, old hotel but modernised throughout.

Nothing in general is pleasing at this property. Management, calmness, bathroom. warm welcoming. It was a very disappointing experience and stay.

“We liked it so much we extended our stay”

Originally a German farmhouse, Lushoto's The Lawns Hotel was converted by the British and registered in 1946. The Nikitas family now preserve its colonial charm and history. This place indeed has bags of charm and feels very comfortable. Our family room was spacious, had a balcony with a garden view. The gardens like the hotel are well maintained The room was clean and oozed character. There is no air conditioning but there is a fan, air conditioning is not needed as it goes cooler at night because of the altitude. There is a well stocked bar and plenty of comfortable seats inside or outside to enjoy a drink. The evening meals, although off a fixed menu were varied and delicious. The swimming pool was clean but a little chilly owing to the height above sea level. The hotel is a fifteen minute walk from the town. The staff were charming and very helpful. The very friendly receptionist ordered our bus tickets and arranged our transport to the bus station. All in all a very pleasant three nights.
