Lovely small place but well designed with plenty of seating areas. Very quiet even though easily accessible from the main road. Parking on-site was very helpful. Simon and his team were excellent, efficient and welcoming. A very nice, chilled feel to the place. Breakfast was superb!

I had an amazing stay! The host was incredibly helpful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The place is clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. It truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Moshi, definitely the best host in town!

This hotel is pretty special!! Karim, the owner is a great person and he made this place super chill and cosy, with great vibes. The rooms are great, and it's fun to have an outdoor bathroom with cats visiting and trying to get attention. Honestly it's a very unique place and you have to come and stay there! Karim ordered food for us when we arrived (late) the first night, it was amazing. And then the breakfasts were so yummy, as well as the dinner we had here the 2nd night. We were feeling so good there, we only visited Moshi town for 4h and decided to come back in this little peaceful and restful oasis where we felt so great. It was exactly what we needed before our Kilimanjaro climb.

Staying at Janibichi Hostel was truly an amazing experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was at home. Cosmas and the whole team are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and always makes sure that every guest feels comfortable and cared for. Cosmas has such a pure and kind heart, and his energy really sets the tone for the whole place. The hostel itself has a great vibe—clean, cozy, and full of warmth. The breakfast was a real highlight: big, delicious, and prepared with love. Cosmas also shares wonderful stories and gives great advice about the area, which makes the experience even richer. I couldn’t recommend this place enough—it’s not just a hostel, it’s a home away from home. I've found new friends in that place and will forever stay in my heart. I'll be back !

Everything was really good! Spacious room, big beds and comfortable. Bathrooms and showers are very clean, and the shower is very powerful, the best I had in all Tanzania. The location is very central, 9 minutes walking from bus station, and many restaurants and shops around. Gladys the receptionist was so good, very kind and with good recommendations about the tours in Moshi. Breakfast is very good, all the staff are nice.

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.
