The breakfast was amazing! We tried their traditional Swahili dinner as well, which was equally good. The staff were very hospitable. We liked it so much that we extended our stay at Villa Rosa. The owner Rose herself came and spoke to us personally during our stay. The day beds are just the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long day of adventure.

Cosmos was the best host anyone could ask for. He was probably the kindest and most genuine man I met on my travels. He catered to everything I wanted to do and see. Plus he made a delicious breakfast for me every morning. The hostel/house was located a bit further from town which was nice and quiet, just a cheap tuk tuk ride away from the city center. It's not like a normal hostel but was everything you needed and was safe and comfortable. Cosmos was basically my private tour guide of Moshi, spent the whole day with me site seeing and even holding my hand when I was struggling through some hiking in the mountains, true angel of a human. Would recommend him to anyone who is interested in anything to do with Mt. Kilimanjaro or the area surrounding.

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.
