We loved our few days in Moshi staying at the eco Bungalows. It is such a relaxing place in a little bit of paradise in Moshi. The staff were brilliant and genuinely could not have been more helpful. Great outside lounge area too, and the food was excellent.

I booked when I see Adventures hostel. And it’s one of the best adventures I can live in Tanzania. Cosmos was the best person I meet in Tanzania. I make me feel confortable, he saw me the best hidden place in Moshi and Arusha. I also booked a Safari with him for a good price and the organisation was perfect! Thank you so much Irene and Cosmos to give me the a real experience of Tanzania.

This was one of the best places Ive stayed in Africa, and the best in Tanzania. It is very chill, with a quite garden where I did yoga, with lovely Welima who cooks great and can help you with anything. I literally didn't eat out much cos the food here was delicious and affordable. The place is few kilometres away from the center thus it is very quite here, no bustling and all. And if you need to go there a private bajaji will cost like 2000-3000 tz and if you catch a public one it's 700 which is like less than a dollar. We came here with fellow volounteer I met in Arusha and had a great time and ended up extending for like a week, I didn't want to leave! Thank you for your hospitality and hopefully see you one day again when I come back to climb Kilimanjaro!

All hostels in Moshi

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The breakfast was amazing. Cosmas cooked for us each morning and he was an amazing host. I would definitely recommend staying here. Cosmas is very accommodating and can help you with anything you need. He looked after our bags while we climbed kili. We wish we could have stayed longer here ! He is one of the best hostel hosts out there !

Breakfast was great, lots of different options. Wilema always made sure the hostel was clean, worked around the clock, organized and also sprayed every night for mosquitos. It was in great location for going to Materuni to see the waterfall. There was hot shower water. Opportunity for volunteering, very nice front yard and house.

I had an amazing time at Backyard Hostel Moshi. Extremely kind local staff that will help you out anytime and give you valuable tips. Delicious local foods for breakfast and for dinner. Very welcoming atmosphere and common area in the beautiful garden. I felt comfortable and safe in my room as a solo traveler. I really enjoyed the good vibes and local authentic feeling and am very grateful for my time there. Also the options for trips around Moshi to Kili, Hot springs, waterfalls etc. are amazing.
