Pros:

Außergewöhnliche Unterbringung in einem Kloster. Entsprechend außergewöhnlich ist die Stimmung dort. Die Schwestern sind sehr nett und warmherzig. Wir waren mit Kindern unterwegs und diese wurden ebenfalls ganz lieb mit betreut. Mit einem hohen Zimmerkomfort ist in einem Kloster natürlich nicht zu rechnen. Wir nutzten die Unterkunft für einen Zwischenstopp aus der Serengeti auf dem Weg nach Arusha. Für uns optimal. (Essen sehr lecker)

Gr4eat location, even better people, and excellent value where you are treated as personal guest
Pros:

Convent for sincere and kindly nuns with simple en-suite rooms for visitors. Amazing value with 3 meals a day included. Very close to entrance to Ngorongoro Crater Wildlife Park, and pleasant walks in the area. The nuns are so ready to do anything to serve their guests. Most of the food is freshly grown on their premises.

Pros:

The location of the place is exceptional - 5min from Ngorongoro Crater Main Gate. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the food is delicious (big portions!). Our 4-year-old son enjoyed playing in the courtyard and in the gardens and after leaving the place he asked when we would be coming back ☺️

Una experiencia hermosa e inolvidable
Pros:

El personal fue maravilloso! Las Hermanas muy cálidas, atentas, muy preocupadas porque no te falte nada.
Todo estaba impecable!

El lugar es maravilloso! Los jardines eran preciosos! Está ubicado en una colina hermosa al lado de la puerta principal del parque Ngorongoro.

En la recepción te ofrecen safaris excelentes y a buen precio.

Pros:

Невероятное место! Настоящий действующий монастырь! Очень круто!
О ужин и завтрак были восхитительны! мы не успевали столько есть. столько заносили в зал новых блюд!
Обед оформляют в ланч боксы - очень удобно, чтобы поесть в Серенгетти.
Персонал - восхитительный! мы даже были на мессе и сделали несколько совместных фото

Cons:

Сан узел. Это женский монастырь и здесь, наверное, не хватает мужчин. Нужно починить слив в душе и в унитазе.

Good for location but expensive for what is offered.
Pros:

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The grounds and courtyard are lovely. The location for access to Ngorongoro cannot be beaten.

Cons:

The food let everything down. Breakfast was simple but sparse with lack of choice. We had lunch boxes for our day out but the food was almost inedible with sandwiches that seemed days old, bits of old cooked chicken in foil and it all felt recycled. The dinners did not live up to the photos on booking.com and were overcooked and only partly enjoyable.

Pros:

Un très bon rapport qualité-prix, à quelques minutes seulement de l'entrée pour aller faire des safari au cratère. Un repas délicieux et très copieux, de même pour notre petite déjeuner et pour la lunch-box pour le safari. Nous avons été très bien accueilli dans ce bel endroit très calme. Nous avons eu la possibilité de faire une visite de la ferme et des potagers du Monastère. Très belle expérience.
