This is a cute small lodge on the northeast side of the island. All the rooms are different and in individual cottages. There 2 suites with plunge pool, 3 garden rooms, and 4 family rooms. The family rooms have 1 double bed down and 2 twins upstairs. There is A/C in all rooms. They have a small-to-medium kidney-shaped infinity pool... More

Shooting Star Lodge has many beautiful aspects - an infinity pool looking out over the Indian Ocean, very private-feeling rooms, a beach-side bar and very friendly, helpful staff. However, it is located where their is lots of coral in the water, making it impossible to swim in the Ocean. You can walk to places where you can swim, but this... More

I stayed one week at SHOOTING STAR inmidst of the Rainy Season, I really enjoyed myself. Good service, excellent induction into the activity of the lodge. The food was very tasty, local spices and choice of 3-4 main courses for lunch and dinner, good choice of local wines. Relaxing pool area, nice infinity pool, not big but not small, and... More

We discovered this hotel 2 years ago when staying at another resort and knew that it was the place for us. We were not disappointed during our 8 day stay. Our cottage was wonderful, peaceful and cool; the food excellent; the staff welcoming and attentive. There is excellent wifi connectivity if needed but happily no television - it's a place... More

We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Tanzania. The only part of the trip that did not live up to expectations was the stay at the Shooting Star.

I was received by sweet staff in the reception and 29 Hawaii flowers in my room and I was jumping from joy from the first second. This is not a huge & noisy resort but a beautiful pearl that only...

We stayed in one of the suites which was luxurious - three floors, the roof terrace having a sunken bath and a four poster bed so that you could sleep under... More

This was first stop in for my wife's first visit to Tanzania. I have been many times on business. Wonderful place to stay to recover from jet lag! Setting is amazing, food is great and all the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Strongly recommended!

We only visited this resort for an evening to watch the Bush Babies descend from the overhead trees to eat bananas but enjoyed a super couple of drinks in a fabulous location. The staff were very welcoming and made a real fuss of our children (the reason we weren't staying here) and whilst we didn't end up eating from the... More
